The Fame 4,100 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Yes, agree. I've said it before but that "I'M OFF THE DEEP END" type singing literally sounds like shes straining to sing (although I'm sure her technique is like...technically correct and not actually straining) and it's almost hard to listen to. A great example of a very ear pleasing belt is in Just Dance when she goes "Baaaaabyy!" in the background around the bridge. Sounds beautiful and bold but not at all strained. Edge of glory, too. She sings "bigger" but its done so well. 3 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolkins 4,082 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I get where you’re coming from. I think belting is becoming less popular, and it seems softer vocals is what younger people (in particular) want to hear now. Bloody Mary is a good example of song where Gaga doesn’t really belt at all (except the dramatic screams for fun) and look how well it did in the current music landscape. I definitely think there is a demand for her to sing less belt-y songs, but it’s her signature style now it’s like expecting Adele to tone down her singing it’s unlikely to happen Not the bore worms! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Fall 3,792 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I have been complaining about this for ages, just because you can belt on a song does not mean that you should do it every single time. It becomes obnoxious and tedious after awhile, that Hold My Hand performance was ruined because her vocals sounded like she was gargling on a bag full of nails Edited February 28 by North Country Guy Hey, I'm king of the world, you ought to hear my song, you come on measure me, I'm twenty inches long 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaga2645 2,077 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Theres already a lot going on in here idk it’s what has always drawn me into Gaga. It’s soooo BROAAAADWAAAAY of her and I live. I do feel she should be a bit more aware of when to utilize it though because I think it is taking a toll on her vocally (from a physical standpoint at times) and before anybody gets offended no im not talking about any kind of “vocal d*cline” excessive belting when your mic is turned on for anybody can take a toll on you Edited February 28 by Gaga2645 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafBug 7,338 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 If she did a rock album without belting I think I would love it so much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinasawachanta 2,665 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I agree. It is no longer necessary for her to be demonstrating over and over again her vocal ability. Everyone already knows it. Besides she doesn't need to take refuge in those big show offs when she has the best and sexiest speaking voice I've ever heard. She could easily make an album talking and I would venerate it. 2 1 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Omg I read the title as "Gaga should belch less" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardevoir 9,654 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Kinda off topic but I love how she uses different voices in her songs. It makes them so interesting, like her falsetto, “screeching” lower voice, sensual voice etc. Most of her songs has so much vocal layers, I don’t usually see that much from other vocalists I listen to.

Gorehound 3,679 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I agree she does tend to over-sing on her more recent songs. I've always found her softer voice so much more beautiful than her powerful belting (impressive as it is). I'd love her to sing in her OG soft and sultry way again. Edited February 28 by Gorehound I'm fine, Ta 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEANUS 12,789 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I wonder if it’s moreso the lesser vocal productions of Joanne, ASIB, and Chromatica that you’re disliking versus her actual delivery? In comparison to The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way, and ARTPOP, everything after sounds like it has very minimal vocal layering/production. Those albums have tons of belts but they’re layered and mixed to have more depth and fit an electronic soundscape more. I think Chromatica was missing it a lot considering she went back to that exact soundscape.

Emvee 7,702 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The worst is when her belting sounds strained. Although I do love a good belting here and there, but if you rely too much on it, it starts to feel like a gimmick 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowman 7,926 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I do agree with you, I can’t really listen to HMH or songs she belts or screams. I need some smoothness in LG7, ASIB is good though Check out my new single 'Loon' - https://open.spotify.com/track/7q1GGm2mBlC9hPWige0C6e?si=6b5319d0e3b44fa6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
