She's not mind-blowing but she has the techniques and stuff down and doesn't sound bad at all live most of the time. But I wouldn't say her strongest asset is her vocal ability or that I am particularly impressed by her singing. She's good, but not great as the title says, which is why I voted no.   

So basically... She controls her voice, is on pitch, has a good voice, great technique (all of which make her a good vocalist) but she doesn’t scream in every song to impress me so I’ll vote “no”? :billie:

She does. She reminds me of a Madonna type of voice, nothing really special but can still hold a tune.

yes she is..Tbh she really has control over her voice, and in my opinion she's from the artists, whose voice sounds similar to the studio version..And now with her dancing,she still manages to sing amazing..Although i love gaga very much and liked the VMAS 2020 performance in some parts sounded like she's out of breath, but that doesnt make her a bad singer.I did see this thread coming form you(not trying to be shady).Here's an amazing performance

There’s a difference between good and great. Dua is a decent vocalist, she does have range, but her voice lacks power and a good technique. Her voice is average at best, but she has a unique tone. I think she should stop smoking while she can because once touring is back up again she won’t be able to recreate the magic whilst dancing and parading on stage.

I think she's a good singer. I'm not particularly blown away though. I've never thought "wow she has a great voice" when I listen to her music.

She’s good, but hard to take her seriously when there’s voices like Gaga, Ariana. Miley, and Rina Sawayama.

Not really, I don't care about screaming vocals or high notes. I just don't think her vocals are exactly impressive for me and that's why I voted no to a question asking if her vocals are great. It's just my personal preference, regardless of how objectively good her voice is (which I said it is).

The fact y’all think being a great vocalist is screaming and doing high notes whenever you can.. :ladyhaha: 

She is a great vocalist and everyone who votes “no” clearly doesn’t know what the meaning of the word is or they didn’t follow her live performances. It’s a fact and not an opinion on pop forum. 
 

Also the hidden misogyny in bringing down every female artist you don’t necessarily stan is blooming. 
 

 

She can be a great singer but she's not a great vocalist.

Okay but being a great vocalist is all about control by definition. It doesn’t have anything to do with the voice itself but the control of the voice. And that’s why I don’t think people are understanding what it means to be a great vocalist. For example I don’t like Adele’s voice but she is still a great vocalist because her control is amazing.

What makes a great vocalist:

Singers with good vocal control are able to sing each note distinctly for the intended musical effect in a melody or harmony. They can also handle note leaps accurately, not jumping too far or not far enough in pitch whether they're hitting high notes or low. Working on your control will help improve your singing.
 

At the end of the day it is okay not to like someone’s voice or songs BUT that doesn’t mean that they are not great vocalists..

She has solid technique, a pleasant tone, and she gives her songs their requisite energy and seductiveness.

Perfectly solid pop singer. Is she a great vocalist? I don't think so, not yet.

Adele has terrible technique, an MANY vocal coaches have said this, so your arguments are starting to seem invalid, and more like you’re a Dua Stan. Which is completely fine, she is fire. However, in that video you posted as proof, she sounded flat and uninspired. She is a singer, a decent vocalist, she isn’t a great one.

Youtube vocal coaches? Okay. I am Dua stan but I’m also objective enough to see that she has amazing vocals and that her vocal abilities are top notch.
