But I do know what you mean. Like 99% of the times I hear someone cover a Gaga song, it's really not that good. It's probably just the very peculiar way Gaga uses her voice to bring her songs to life. She is a vocal chameleon. Hardly anyone else can live up to that level of skill.

no, I said Pop Gaga for a reason. Songs like Shallow, You and I and Million Reasons are much safer. Alejandro, Poker Face and Stupid Love? Absolutely a death sentence. It makes sense tho bc her voice isn’t the main shine of those tracks

I find her voice kind of "annoying" and "exhausting" to listen to.... it´s just that it´s not ... Gaga herself.

Does this mean this girl has sang Stupid Love on TV as many times as Gaga has? :shocked:

 

She doesn’t sound great here but I have no doubt she’s supposed to be talented

I think she can sing but it doesn't necessarily sound good. I think in a studio they could bring out the best in her and produce quirky results tho 

Stare at the Chartster in the mirror they talk to me too. #StreamFunTonight

Why is Gaga the only one who can sing her songs live? Like I cant name a time on these kind of shows where someone sang a pop Gaga song and the judges stanned

Because her songs have a very specific way about them that requires a lot of star energy to pull off. They’re not “vocalist” songs which is what The Voice is for, they’re performance songs. Add as well that Gaga has a kind of odd way about her lyricism that, again, unless you’re fully with it, it sounds cringe.

It’s the same for Björk. A VERY particular voice and style of songwriting that makes covers of most of her songs sound a bit cringe except in the most capable of performance hands (Thom Yorke, Madonna ala Bedtime Stories which Björk wrote for her, etc.).

I would also put a hefty amount of Michael and Janet Jackson songs in that category. Who else can sing Thriller and it not be cringe? Who else can sing Rhythm Nation? Pop performance numbers are hard to cover because it’s about production, energy, and star power much more than it is about ability.

There’s a reason most people don’t cover Gaga’s pop songs on shows like this, they’re hard to sing and only sound good with certain tones

People should stick to her ballads :huntyga:
