ALL vocal changes from the BTWBall

[Griffin 6]

I've been blown away with the way she sings the songs live at the Ball. She's been changing up melodies and doing really cool stuff with them. I'm using this thread to document every change - tiny and massive - to the way she sings each song.

She sings nearly every song differently each time, though... it would take a really long time to document all of them.

[hoeslay 4,155]

She sang the Dum dum daddi da part at the LA BTWBs in a lower voice and different tone/melody.
