@@alexandraanderson3988 Yh but they arent talking about just how good someone is, theyre talking about level of improvement over where they were. That doesnt apply to Jessie. She debuted good and is still good but had technical shortcomings that stop her being top tier. Her not having made any significant improvement since her debut means she isnt relevant to this topic. But yes i agree with you shes good.
I feel like Beyoncé just realized she didn’t have to prove herself to people anymore and that made her so much more enjoyable to listen to, probably why I love all of her later performances over anything before 2005ish she’s just incredible in every single way.
i love the nostalgia of the over the top early 2000s performances, since that's the beyonce i grew up with, but honestly her elegance and polish in her more recent years is more satisfying and enjoyable. her early performances had an almost desperate feel to them, but now she knows exactly what she wants to convey and delivers on it flawlessly.
The thing that I appreciate most about Gaga's improvement is the development of her head voice. Because even though it is not a huge aspect of her singing style she still made sure it was up to a decent level.
I love Jojo I’m so happy she’s out of that bad deal. And Beyonce?! I will never for the life of me ever understand how people can really say she can’t sing! It’s so weird to me.
I get it based on how she *used* to sing. Not everyone knows the terms for unevenness and aglity and all that, but hearing that back then, I get why people would say she can't sing. No way that can be said now. Unless you're a hater!
@@FineandDandy104 she could sing back then too just not as well..i think it’s more her tone that the ignorant ppl don’t like which is why they say she can’t sing.

Her more vocal complex and challenging songs are her less popular ones that the general public are not as familiar with and therefore she is judged based of her most popular musical catalog.

@@rydercdaniels4475 I get what you're saying but even in the songs you mentioned she delivers vocally, but some people can't notice that, not sure why but I think it's bc they lack vocal knowledge and bc they judge singing by their taste in tone
I still remember when I was in middle school 2008 - 2009, a girl told me that Lady Gaga couldn’t sing. And I’m still shook about it over a decade later.
Beyonce would be the perfect example of this in my opinion. She started out in the industry in late 90s but only became the amazing vocalist we know her as today in 2007.
@Unbiased Vocal Buddy I know this is a late response, but I have to very much disagree with you. Pre 2007, her lower register was very airy, unstable, it felt very uncomfortable to hear her that low sometimes. Her belting was very pushy, squeezed and even nasal as she got higher and higher within her range. As you mentioned yourself, her head voice improved massively. Additionally before 2006 she had no control over her agility, often over-singing. She was never a bad vocalist, just not that great when compared to her after 2007.
She is not !. What are you guys talking about?, Beyoncé was always a natural talent, this woman surprised her teacher at 5/6 years old by enduring a hard note, better than the original singer of the song (no training), then surprised her first vocal coach , when hearing it for the first time, said that he didn't understand how a child without training, has a better technique than all adult professional singers he trained, this woman was a vocal arrange child, she always had great vocal knowledge and great vocals (but only being member of a group, couldn't show it much), in 2002 she put Celine Dion to shame live.
@@Fan-vv8wb Um did U not see her Vocal Agility in this video??? She has literally has some of the most amazing and agilest riffs. She literally rivals Mariah on who has the better riffs if not having completely different Vocal Techniques
Yep I agree. I was watching it recently and I died of laughter from the comments , she was over doing it , but she still amazing vocalist and I'm glad she improved vocally.
I saw this performance of Destiny's Child's Bills Bills Bills and Beyonce was losing breath! Now you will NEVER see her trying to catch her breath even after all her dancing! I'm just in awe at how much she perfected her singing.
I don’t understand why a lot of people tend to underrate Beyoncé as a vocalist so much. And I love the Leigh-Anne appreciation. Can you please do a “why___is a GREAT vocalist” for FAOUZIA please!!
I think people just underrate Beyoncé because of her tone. It can be considered bland to some people (e.g. I used to always describe her voice as too polished). People don’t look at a singer and think “look at that supported Eb5” and tone is very much important just like technique and style are. I don’t agree with those people anymore personally, but that’s because ive seen Beyoncé’s lesser known performances of lesser known songs whereas the average listener hasn’t and it’s a popular opinion that her songs don’t always showcase her voice the way they should.
@@Solo-vh9fm as a huge Beyoncé fan, i can admit her tone is nothing special. tbh it is pretty bland. if she wasn’t such a skilled and tactful singer she wouldn’t be popular
@@cashcow4450 I have to disagree, people only love her tone because of how great her technique is. Beyoncé wouldn’t be able to thrive off of tone alone like other singers can.
I'd also add Jessie J, her improvement has been incredible. The control she has gained is amazing, she has dramatically reduced her oversinging, and she's massively improved her tone, musicality, dynamics, head voice, low notes, vibrato, transitions, and her overall technique!
I don’t know if it’s the real reason but: once in a ytb live he said that he didn’t like the way she sings (ofc he respects her as vocalist) it’s just that the way she sings is too « caricatural » Ps: i’m not making up a drama or smn
OMG I remember my comment on your video about Adele I've quoted Beyoncé and Gaga and how people underestimate their vocal capabilities just because they used to sing pop-ish songs. And now you made and entire video about their vocal progress to prove their power and evolution. Thank u!!!!!!
14:00 I actually cannot wait to see how Beyonce does The Gift on Tour cause I would so love to see Brown Skin Girl, Spirit, Mood 4 Ever, Bigger and the rest of the songs live on Tour in real life
Leigh anne is living proof how much confidence actually does to your singing, like shes always had the voice but she kind of froze in front of a public, I also apprecciate how you didnt give her a backhanded compliment like many other people do!
Glad to see Beyonce here! I almost thought you didn't care for her as i don't see her in your videos much, but i'm glad to see she lives up to your standards, though I had no doubt!
JoJo honestly had such a promising future ahead if her company didnt screw her up. I can't believe how people still havent heard of her prowress. And Beyonce definitely was never bad. She just had very distasteful placements for acrobatics xD She literally had runs in every sentence and waaaaayyy too many runs for her own good. But she definitely sounds like a queen now. Like she sounds like a ruler of mezzos
yes !! thank you for pointing out Gaga’s vocal improvement. she was always talented but her vocals now are out of this world. she can sing, dance, act, play piano, guitar; and perform amazingly. she is so so so talented. idk why she’s slept on these days. stream chromatica ❤️
15:51 Can we talk about how easy E5’s have become for Leigh Anne tho??? Like girlie is breathing them. That Confidence boost and Vocal Lessons are working!!!!
@@certainly25 lol listen, my elementary age ass was LIVING for all them vocal runs back in the day. Now when I look at old DC performances (like 1997-2001), I kinda cringe at some of her live vocals. She was decent for a teenager, she just needed to refine her technique and musicality.
I love Lady Gaga's growth. I can actually see her playing Laura Nyro in a biopic film. I also feel like Jessie J has gotten better with her control. She use to be so aggresive with her vibrato and now she's learned to control it. There are alot of other singers I can think of that has gotten better throughout the years but they are in a completely different lane. Great video.
I think we have to remember that from 1998-2006 Beyoncé was extremely overworked and almost always working with an exhausted instrument. Between 2004-2007 her solo career became stable and she was able to revisit classical training.
I’d actually (funnily) say that in comparison to the Incognito era, in the Unison/Chante Plamondon era, Celine had a MASSIVE vocal glow up in all aspects of her voice. She went from iffy G3s to solidly supported F#3s and F3s, improved her consistency with her mixed voice from C#5-E5 (which she supported in its entirety during that 90-91 time period), her riffs and runs became more clear, precise and less forced, and all of a sudden she was resonating up to Bb5 consistently in head voice... she essentially went from around G3-C#5-F5 to F3-E5-Bb5 in the space of a year or two
JoJo had a stellar comeback and her sound breathed impossible magic ever since. She has a place of honor in my ranks for how much she's walked despite being hidden from light for so long.
JoJo became one of my very favorite artists since I’m an adult. With her comeback album she does a slam dunk every time she releases something. Not only her voice developed a lot, her music itself got deeper; richer and more authentic. She is real in her music. I one were at a concert of her, when she toured for the mad love album. And this concert is one of my top favorite concerts I have ever attended. It was so intimate and she made you felt at home. It was so so amazing.
I agree so much with Beyonce improving over time! Oh wait how could we forget Rihanna?..she isn't really considered a "vocalist" to some people but she improved tremendously at one point in my opinion.
Ariana: improved low notes a lot, in fact, now she has them. When Ariana began her singing career and before her low notes were... almost inexistent, but, since the DWT she began to work on them and at the end of the SWT she was able to phrased easily down to G3, do some good F#3's, and even go down to E3 with a good texture for a soprano in a concert with 30+ songs. Her head voice is also thicker, when she began the Honeymoon tour she was overworked, thus her head voice was airy af and without the best texture (I think that's the reason why people say she only uses falsetto), but again, big improvement in SWT. Mid/high belts, pre DWT they were throaty for some reason, like if she didn't know how to navigate correctly through that passagio.
@@Solo-vh9fm she has it already, u just are expecting her to sound as loud and rich as Whitney or else, and that probably will never happened. I want u to name another light lytic soprano that projects better than Ariana. I'm with u on the part that she still has space to grow as a vocalist, she's still young.
@@joanquintero4670 That’s just wrong. If you’ve heard her G4’s from Tattooed Heart she shows that she can sing powerful notes. But instead we get the illusion of power through high notes with forced vibrato (if even that). No I don’t expect her to be another Whitney, but given her style of singing she clearly would benefit from a bit of meat or grit into her voice like Mariah or Celine had, something she has tried to show on her cover of Natural Woman or pov and could push it further.
@@Solo-vh9fm she doesn't forced her vibrato almost never, she has literally the most stable vibrato on the industry rn. Neither Celine or Mariah are light lyric sopranos tho, and she can do high powerful notes, y'all just say it's reverb when that exist since late 80's LMAO
*Beyonce & Gaga* have really become titans in the music industry (vocally & artistically). I really wish they performed "Telephone" live, at least once 😢 Thanks for highlighting the improvement of lesser known artists that aren't Jojo, Leigh Anne & Vanessa. Katy is well known but not really regarded as a vocalist however as you emphasized, she has truly improved over time. Another one is probably Kesha. Hmm, for male vocalists who have improved over time I can only think of Bruno Mars & maybe Adam Lambert, however it's not as significant of an improvement as these ladies.
Sorry , I haven't heard of "telephone ", did you mean "video phone" or do I just not know what you're talking about ? Also coincidence, I just listened to video phone yesterday and it's so damn catchy!!
i’ve seen people going from “i hate leigh anne’s voice, she is awful” to “leigh anne is my favorite now, she’s awesome” my queen is much more confident these days
@@sierrastar5155 well during the group’s first years her voice was very weak and flat, she struggled a lot with higher notes, it’s understandable how people would dislike her voice that period
@@twmtdw7954 I can understand that her vocals weren’t anywhere near as good as they are now but her voice in general has never been bad so for people to say it’s awful doesn’t make sense to me.
@@AlwaysLM2011 it was weak because she didn’t have the confidence to make it sound stronger, she didn’t realize how great she could be (and i don’t blame her, having Perrie as a bandmate probably made her feel less good)
Yess, my Leigh :) She really has improved, especially confidence wise, I'm just so proud of my girl and hope she shows more of her talent next year on the Confetti UK tour!! (Still pissed at their label for it only to be UK 🙄) AND THAT NOTE 15:48 WAS BY LEIGH OMG JEEZ I MEAN I ALREADY KNEW LONG A GO SHE'S TALENTED BUT BABE I MEAN I'M SHOCK. THAT IS MY LEIGH-ANNE Y'ALL
@@Eman-vp6ju it's actually crazy when you look at older performances of hers and compare them to the last few years! Definitely made use of her full potential as a singer!
loved this video and really enjoyed the honorable mentions because I had no idea Vanessa for instance had improved like that as for male artist suggestions whilst I would only really include him as an honorable mention the male artist that comes to my mind when it comes to improvement is Niall Horan like no one (himself included) would call him a vocalist but he's definitely improved over the years like if you compare his performances of dear patience at the royal albert hall or his cover's of new york state of mind or with or without you to his vocals in 1D, like he's not the best singer out of 1D but honestly he's the most improved.
Not being toxic, but I can never understand where people get the strength to "judge" lady gaga's and Beyoncé's vocals, like I really can't comprehend it
Lady Gaga - Her technique was premature, she reminds me of Barbara Streisand with a slightly deeper tone. Her chest voice was overused and her vocal mix was underdeveloped, when she did, it gave her a signature "broadway" sound and a lot of control. I feel at some point she simply practiced headvoice just enough to blend her upper range and give her better control. Jojo - She's always been good, I would say she hasn't glown up because she has been far better than her peers all her life. She gradually improved. BEYONCE - Something changed drastically after her album "4", her power and balance just exploded around that era. Before that era she was extremely nasal, and lacked vocal fullness & projection. She wanted to be a Soprano and was reaching for C6's and belted G5's. She began to use slightly lower keys and blossomed. Katy - She was always decent. Her low musical IQ songs made her an easy target because people who don't see her live singing have no idea that she's a surprisingly competent belter. Those I left out in my view need a bigger resume for me to nit pick lol. Anyways we love you! Would love if you did a video on vocal decline!
@@SuperPianogirl123 what are you implying?? I’m simply saying that Beyonce went from a very good singer to arguably a a vocal “legend” around 2010. Before then she had unusually high key songs and a much thinner more nasal sound column. She also over sang A LOT and her early years are what people know her best for so many people dismiss her as overrated because her music wasn’t as mainstream after her glow up. Beyoncé was ALWAYS a great singer but she became world class around 2010
@@Sloppyjoey1 She had a technical glow up around B’Day with her technique being at its best from I Am onwards, her voice is in her prime currently and has gotten thicker and fuller.
@@SuperPianogirl123 I don’t agree at all. In fact I feel B’day is part of why people call her overrated. Her voice wasn’t that full. She was pushing for high keys, for example Deja Vu and Get Me Bodied the songs are in in a verrry high key and she sounds rather nasal and has the over sung parts. To each their own, I feel “4” is the point of her career where people can say “something is different” her voice was WAY stronger and WAY more powerful... it may not be as popular as her prior albums but “Love on Top”, (1+1) and “Best thing I never had” her voice sounds pure and explosive, before that era people often argue she sounded boring and occasionally whiney and oversingy. I feel like people call her overrated because they’re thinking of Bday and Dangerously in love. “4” and beyond was her most powerful era and she’s still improving.
About Beyoncé and the changes from the 4 era to date is due to her getting rid fo her father. He was managing her career back then and knew the GP liked sopranos and light voices in general. But in 4 era she was already in control of her career and everything changed from the songs to how she sings.
This!!! Yes!!! She's so much more balanced and less forced than before. I do find that her tone is very much based on the listener bc of her kind of stuffy sound but I find it very unique for her and her head voice/falsetto is so gorgeous
Mariah: belts overall, maybe the only consistent part was Bb4 to down, but she in her debut has some B4 with tension, and when it comes to high belts, bufff, the girl needed to work, but she did and around the end of 1992 to 1993 she was able to control that part of her voice greatly. Also her head voice, in her debut she only had like two head voice moments and they were also very short, but, when music box era began, her head voice was much better and she could go up to Bb5 with great placement consistently, sadly after butterfly for the vocal stress she lost that confidence once again
Let’s not overlook the fact that at @13:26 Beyoncé was literally sick and congested DOWN. Also a lot of her vocal development in recent years is due to childbirth. She had to adjust and rework her voice since her timbre and tone changed.
You should definitely do a part 2 when you have the time! Some vocalists I know have improved a bit are Tori Kelly and Ariana Grande, but I'm sure there are more... Adam Levine isn't a very good singer, but his voice is slightly less nasally than it was in the 2000s.
i would say leigh's technique HAS majorly improved, especially from X Factor/Wings era. Her main issue was in her breath support, and while that was probably caused partially by nerves, i would say controlling your nerves is a big part of technique regardless. She has a much stronger grasp on her vibrato now too!
Great choices. All phenomenal vocalists who started great and sound even better now. Kelly Clarkson is another one that comes to mind. Her tone is so much more complete, and her sense of musicality and versatility has grown so much over the years since her debut on AI. That woman can sing damn near ANYTHING convincingly at this point.
those clips of you here and there really add something to the experience of watching your videos! i would recommend you to film them in landscape just so it fits better with the rest of the video
You're right! Ideally I would like to mix voiceover with an actual recordings of myself talking, but I'm not a very good presenter, and the fact that I am not a native English speaker doesn't help
Beyonce from the jump was an excellent singer who just had some bad vocal habits. She was always the best singer of her group & of her generation. I mean the vocal harmonies & arrangements DC were singing were crafted by Beyonce herself so the ear was always there. She took care of her voice by letting it mature and not sing those big huge songs like Another Sad Love Song or I have Nothing at a young age. With obvious natural talent & practice, she sings better than about 90-95% of the singers in mainstream music.
I love her lows too, rich buttery well supported and full of body but I rarely see her attempt anything else out of the usual. I wanna see belts, head voice, tone pitch etc coz her style, as beautiful and poetic her song writing is, is bland af
@@anelisajustanelisa236 Taylor has potential to do good mid belts, her lows are her comfort zone and are lovely, but I think she doesn't want people to see her as a vocalist and also she is not very confident about her vocals, once she sang an A4 that was supported and with vibratto
@@ferchokail I love Taylor but if you are 30yo been singing since 13 and still are at a place where you are "not confident" enough with your instrument to showcase it then maybe you just ain't that good🤷♀️. She's got access to the best trainers and a fanbase that adores everything she does so she really doesn't have an excuse for not improving and elevating her vocals the way she's worked on her songwriting 💁♀️
She's an improving Soprano voice. Lows =/= Mezzo or Contralto, come on y'all. Taylor's voice actually sits high but technique makes all the difference.
Gaga was a killer vocalist from the day one and sound of music has nothing to do with that status, her howard sterm 2011 edge of glory performance js everything and anything a vocalist could possibly offer, people credit her now that she sounds classical but she kinda sacrificed her individuality by going darker and classical
Amazing vídeo. I would like to see in the part two more of Katy Perry evolution, Ariana and Tori Kelly improvement and Florence Welch. Male singers are really difficult...
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Beyoncé♡💖♡💖♡💖♡ WOW!! The growth through her vocals and voice have both improved tremendously. It never fails to amaze me at how controlled and looked after her voice is.

Jojo is literally the Brandy of right now!! It’s almost like she went to the school of Brandy to learn her voice!. I know Brandy is an Alto but it’s like she learned from the Full moon album when Brandy was singing soprano and not alto
Lmao I never noticed Beyoncé’s improvement because I’ve BEEN listening to her but it was drastic, I love her so much and her work ethic is honestly so admirable. It’s the thing I appreciate about her most
Brendon urie as well!! My god he switched from being Greta to being AMAZING thanks to the musical theatre!! He played in kinky boots and his tecnique as of now is the best among male singers!
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 i respect your own opinion and taste!❤️💪🏻 but from a pure technical aspect and not how the sound is (which is subiective) brandons technique is better. Not even much but definetly just a bit. Any vocal critic and experct saying that, non even me! Into the unknown ulrimately is a proof
For the male singers thing, I would wanna say Cody Simpson. Not many people really know his music , his childhood Disney stuff is what people know him for. But anyway . It's like , with every album or song, he just keeps getting better(vocally and with the music)! I feel like he constantly works on himself, and delivers some impressive vocals. also I fricking love how you showed Leigh anne, she deserve that
And you said you might do a part 2? Yes, please consider. I think it's just nice to see improvement 😄 As for suggestions, I have no idea, I am so green when it comes to singing but it's just interesting to watch. Maybe kpop idols, I can tell some really improved from their debut years.
7:13 - come on, man. Disaster is IMPOSSIBLE. Bless Jojo for even trying. You can’t catch a breath the entire song, it requires aggressive vocals and high stamina, plus it sounds like she’s sick.

I'd also add Jessie J, her improvement has been incredible. The control she has gained is amazing, she has dramatically reduced her oversinging, and she's massively improved her tone, musicality, dynamics, head voice, low notes, vibrato, transitions, and her overall technique!
Agreed. She's so good now! It's almost too good!
I was thinking the same thing, next to Tori
not really
I don’t know if it’s the real reason but: once in a ytb live he said that he didn’t like the way she sings (ofc he respects her as vocalist) it’s just that the way she sings is too « caricatural »
Ps: i’m not making up a drama or smn
@@graysang5386 I’m glad you said it lol
Jojo's lows as a teenanger are unreal
And her lows now... speechlees
They were already impressive as a teenager, but now they’re a whole experience in itself.
Very solid for a TEEN
OMG I remember my comment on your video about Adele I've quoted Beyoncé and Gaga and how people underestimate their vocal capabilities just because they used to sing pop-ish songs. And now you made and entire video about their vocal progress to prove their power and evolution. Thank u!!!!!!
14:00 I actually cannot wait to see how Beyonce does The Gift on Tour cause I would so love to see Brown Skin Girl, Spirit, Mood 4 Ever, Bigger and the rest of the songs live on Tour in real life
YES I CANT WAIT
Leigh anne is living proof how much confidence actually does to your singing, like shes always had the voice but she kind of froze in front of a public, I also apprecciate how you didnt give her a backhanded compliment like many other people do!
Glad to see Beyonce here! I almost thought you didn't care for her as i don't see her in your videos much, but i'm glad to see she lives up to your standards, though I had no doubt!
Leigh-Anne getting her flowers, as she deserves. i love to see it!!!!
beyonce went from perfect to even more perfect... like how is that even possible
It clearly wasn’t perfect at the beginning.
JoJo honestly had such a promising future ahead if her company didnt screw her up. I can't believe how people still havent heard of her prowress.
And Beyonce definitely was never bad. She just had very distasteful placements for acrobatics xD She literally had runs in every sentence and waaaaayyy too many runs for her own good. But she definitely sounds like a queen now. Like she sounds like a ruler of mezzos
yes !! thank you for pointing out Gaga’s vocal improvement. she was always talented but her vocals now are out of this world. she can sing, dance, act, play piano, guitar; and perform amazingly. she is so so so talented. idk why she’s slept on these days. stream chromatica ❤️
OMG I'm sooo glad you're back and you included Leigh-Anne, when I saw the title she was the one who immediately came to my mind!
I love your content so much! Thanks for including Gaga and Bey 🤩
15:51 Can we talk about how easy E5’s have become for Leigh Anne tho??? Like girlie is breathing them. That Confidence boost and Vocal Lessons are working!!!!
Love This video! Leigh-anne is definitely a glow up and queen. A part 2 would be great!
Brandy is also a great one that keeps getting better
Damn right!!
Yet her 2020 album was underacknowledged, sadly.
super underrated
im crying beyonce was doing the absolute most on silent night and for what 😭😭
She’s the Queen but sis did over-sing a lot in her earlier days😅.
Silent 📈📉📈Night📉📈📉
@@certainly25 lol listen, my elementary age ass was LIVING for all them vocal runs back in the day. Now when I look at old DC performances (like 1997-2001), I kinda cringe at some of her live vocals. She was decent for a teenager, she just needed to refine her technique and musicality.
I know she looks back on those performances like 😬.
And people will NEVER let go of their less mastered performances.
I love Lady Gaga's growth. I can actually see her playing Laura Nyro in a biopic film. I also feel like Jessie J has gotten better with her control. She use to be so aggresive with her vibrato and now she's learned to control it. There are alot of other singers I can think of that has gotten better throughout the years but they are in a completely different lane. Great video.
I think we have to remember that from 1998-2006 Beyoncé was extremely overworked and almost always working with an exhausted instrument. Between 2004-2007 her solo career became stable and she was able to revisit classical training.
I’d actually (funnily) say that in comparison to the Incognito era, in the Unison/Chante Plamondon era, Celine had a MASSIVE vocal glow up in all aspects of her voice. She went from iffy G3s to solidly supported F#3s and F3s, improved her consistency with her mixed voice from C#5-E5 (which she supported in its entirety during that 90-91 time period), her riffs and runs became more clear, precise and less forced, and all of a sudden she was resonating up to Bb5 consistently in head voice... she essentially went from around G3-C#5-F5 to F3-E5-Bb5 in the space of a year or two
Would you consider taking chances era to 2011-12(13?I would include but many don't) a glow up?
It's not that hard improving on the mid belting mix notes for women, however, being able to support notes that low Is HUGE improvement.
@@L2_Impart by the end of 1992 her consistent supported lower range was at E3/F3... insane for a lyric soprano
JoJo had a stellar comeback and her sound breathed impossible magic ever since. She has a place of honor in my ranks for how much she's walked despite being hidden from light for so long.
JoJo became one of my very favorite artists since I’m an adult. With her comeback album she does a slam dunk every time she releases something. Not only her voice developed a lot, her music itself got deeper; richer and more authentic. She is real in her music.
I one were at a concert of her, when she toured for the mad love album. And this concert is one of my top favorite concerts I have ever attended.
It was so intimate and she made you felt at home. It was so so amazing.
I agree so much with Beyonce improving over time! Oh wait how could we forget Rihanna?..she isn't really considered a "vocalist" to some people but she improved tremendously at one point in my opinion.
Beyoncé and Leigh-Anne ❤️
I done thought this video was "Why beyonce is the vocal supreme she thinks she is", similar to those"why perrie edwards is an amazing vocalist"
Beyonce is just so incredible. I love her so much!
Ariana: improved low notes a lot, in fact, now she has them. When Ariana began her singing career and before her low notes were... almost inexistent, but, since the DWT she began to work on them and at the end of the SWT she was able to phrased easily down to G3, do some good F#3's, and even go down to E3 with a good texture for a soprano in a concert with 30+ songs. Her head voice is also thicker, when she began the Honeymoon tour she was overworked, thus her head voice was airy af and without the best texture (I think that's the reason why people say she only uses falsetto), but again, big improvement in SWT. Mid/high belts, pre DWT they were throaty for some reason, like if she didn't know how to navigate correctly through that passagio.
I think Ariana is still growing as a vocalist. She doesn’t yet have that power in her voice that I think she eventually will
@@Solo-vh9fm she has it already, u just are expecting her to sound as loud and rich as Whitney or else, and that probably will never happened.
I want u to name another light lytic soprano that projects better than Ariana.
I'm with u on the part that she still has space to grow as a vocalist, she's still young.
@@joanquintero4670 That’s just wrong. If you’ve heard her G4’s from Tattooed Heart she shows that she can sing powerful notes. But instead we get the illusion of power through high notes with forced vibrato (if even that). No I don’t expect her to be another Whitney, but given her style of singing she clearly would benefit from a bit of meat or grit into her voice like Mariah or Celine had, something she has tried to show on her cover of Natural Woman or pov and could push it further.
@@Solo-vh9fm she doesn't forced her vibrato almost never, she has literally the most stable vibrato on the industry rn.
Neither Celine or Mariah are light lyric sopranos tho, and she can do high powerful notes, y'all just say it's reverb when that exist since late 80's LMAO
Lady Gaga gets better every day.
im so grateful jojo kept at it despite how impossible it seemed for her to sing again, happy to see her spotlit in this vid!
*Beyonce & Gaga* have really become titans in the music industry (vocally & artistically).
I really wish they performed "Telephone" live, at least once 😢
Thanks for highlighting the improvement of lesser known artists that aren't Jojo, Leigh Anne & Vanessa.
Katy is well known but not really regarded as a vocalist however as you emphasized, she has truly improved over time.
Another one is probably Kesha.
Hmm, for male vocalists who have improved over time I can only think of Bruno Mars & maybe Adam Lambert, however it's not as significant of an improvement as these ladies.
Sorry , I haven't heard of "telephone ", did you mean "video phone" or do I just not know what you're talking about ?
Also coincidence, I just listened to video phone yesterday and it's so damn catchy!!
@@rr2776 how could you not know about telephone
Kesha would be great to include in the honorable mentions!
@@aintnootherfan Hopefully for Part 2 🥰
Please Madison Beer as well 😌
R R videophone is Beyonces song and Telephone is Gagas song
i’ve seen people going from “i hate leigh anne’s voice, she is awful” to “leigh anne is my favorite now, she’s awesome”
my queen is much more confident these days
How people could ever hate Leigh’s voice is unknown to me. She’s such a queen
@@sierrastar5155 well during the group’s first years her voice was very weak and flat, she struggled a lot with higher notes, it’s understandable how people would dislike her voice that period
@@twmtdw7954 I can understand that her vocals weren’t anywhere near as good as they are now but her voice in general has never been bad so for people to say it’s awful doesn’t make sense to me.
@@AlwaysLM2011 it was weak because she didn’t have the confidence to make it sound stronger, she didn’t realize how great she could be (and i don’t blame her, having Perrie as a bandmate probably made her feel less good)
@@AlwaysLM2011 you totally missed the point but ok
Yess, my Leigh :) She really has improved, especially confidence wise, I'm just so proud of my girl and hope she shows more of her talent next year on the Confetti UK tour!! (Still pissed at their label for it only to be UK 🙄) AND THAT NOTE 15:48 WAS BY LEIGH OMG JEEZ I MEAN I ALREADY KNEW LONG A GO SHE'S TALENTED BUT BABE I MEAN I'M SHOCK. THAT IS MY LEIGH-ANNE Y'ALL
I feel like Pink could've made it onto this list :D maybe this deserves a Part 2!
When she quit smoking her voice went next-level
@@Eman-vp6ju it's actually crazy when you look at older performances of hers and compare them to the last few years! Definitely made use of her full potential as a singer!
okay wow vanessa hudgens had me shook! she sounds great
I love Beyonce! She is my favorite, more videos on Beyonce please
THANK YOU KATY'S VOCALS HAVE IMPROVED SO MUCH
Oh yes Leigh-Anne 💕. She improved so much. Talented Queen👸🏾. And I also love Jojo's voice. She's such a great vocalist😊👍
I AM SO GLAD LEIGH ANNE IS INCLUDED. SHE HAS WORKED SO HARD AND SHE IS FINALLY GETTING RECOGNITION SHE HAS ALWAYS DESERVED.
I love Lady Gaga + pianoo
loved this video and really enjoyed the honorable mentions because I had no idea Vanessa for instance had improved like that as for male artist suggestions whilst I would only really include him as an honorable mention the male artist that comes to my mind when it comes to improvement is Niall Horan like no one (himself included) would call him a vocalist but he's definitely improved over the years like if you compare his performances of dear patience at the royal albert hall or his cover's of new york state of mind or with or without you to his vocals in 1D, like he's not the best singer out of 1D but honestly he's the most improved.
Not being toxic, but I can never understand where people get the strength to "judge" lady gaga's and Beyoncé's vocals, like I really can't comprehend it
Lady Gaga - Her technique was premature, she reminds me of Barbara Streisand with a slightly deeper tone. Her chest voice was overused and her vocal mix was underdeveloped, when she did, it gave her a signature "broadway" sound and a lot of control. I feel at some point she simply practiced headvoice just enough to blend her upper range and give her better control.
Jojo - She's always been good, I would say she hasn't glown up because she has been far better than her peers all her life. She gradually improved.
BEYONCE - Something changed drastically after her album "4", her power and balance just exploded around that era. Before that era she was extremely nasal, and lacked vocal fullness & projection. She wanted to be a Soprano and was reaching for C6's and belted G5's. She began to use slightly lower keys and blossomed.
Katy - She was always decent. Her low musical IQ songs made her an easy target because people who don't see her live singing have no idea that she's a surprisingly competent belter.
Those I left out in my view need a bigger resume for me to nit pick lol.
Anyways we love you! Would love if you did a video on vocal decline!
You.. don’t know Beyoncé at all, do you?
@@SuperPianogirl123 what are you implying?? I’m simply saying that Beyonce went from a very good singer to arguably a a vocal “legend” around 2010.
Before then she had unusually high key songs and a much thinner more nasal sound column. She also over sang A LOT and her early years are what people know her best for so many people dismiss her as overrated because her music wasn’t as mainstream after her glow up.
Beyoncé was ALWAYS a great singer but she became world class around 2010
@@Sloppyjoey1 She had a technical glow up around B’Day with her technique being at its best from I Am onwards, her voice is in her prime currently and has gotten thicker and fuller.
@@SuperPianogirl123 I don’t agree at all. In fact I feel B’day is part of why people call her overrated. Her voice wasn’t that full.
She was pushing for high keys, for example Deja Vu and Get Me Bodied the songs are in in a verrry high key and she sounds rather nasal and has the over sung parts.
To each their own, I feel “4” is the point of her career where people can say “something is different” her voice was WAY stronger and WAY more powerful... it may not be as popular as her prior albums but “Love on Top”, (1+1) and “Best thing I never had” her voice sounds pure and explosive, before that era people often argue she sounded boring and occasionally whiney and oversingy.
I feel like people call her overrated because they’re thinking of Bday and Dangerously in love. “4” and beyond was her most powerful era and she’s still improving.
About Beyoncé and the changes from the 4 era to date is due to her getting rid fo her father. He was managing her career back then and knew the GP liked sopranos and light voices in general. But in 4 era she was already in control of her career and everything changed from the songs to how she sings.
Finally someone talking about Beyonce's amazing vocals. IDK why she does not make more songs where se can show off that vocal range
Beyonce is amazing.
Got so excited when I saw a snippet of Tori Kelly hahah. One of my all-time favourite vocalists, similar agility to Jojo. Her runs are phenomenal.
Vanessa Hudgens has improved MASSIVELY
madison beer is also another singer that has improved
Yes❣
Great example 👏
So much! Her registers are all pretty well-rounded, she doesn't get enough credit or recognition
This!!! Yes!!! She's so much more balanced and less forced than before. I do find that her tone is very much based on the listener bc of her kind of stuffy sound but I find it very unique for her and her head voice/falsetto is so gorgeous
Mariah: belts overall, maybe the only consistent part was Bb4 to down, but she in her debut has some B4 with tension, and when it comes to high belts, bufff, the girl needed to work, but she did and around the end of 1992 to 1993 she was able to control that part of her voice greatly. Also her head voice, in her debut she only had like two head voice moments and they were also very short, but, when music box era began, her head voice was much better and she could go up to Bb5 with great placement consistently, sadly after butterfly for the vocal stress she lost that confidence once again
Her voice changed so much, but what’s consistently glowed up is her songwriting.
@@samoanbiscuit this is about the voice, but... Yeah, her songwriting is amazing
i deeply appreciate your attention to detail
Let’s not overlook the fact that at @13:26 Beyoncé was literally sick and congested DOWN. Also a lot of her vocal development in recent years is due to childbirth. She had to adjust and rework her voice since her timbre and tone changed.
Katy really has improved over the years it’s astonishing
You should definitely do a part 2 when you have the time! Some vocalists I know have improved a bit are Tori Kelly and Ariana Grande, but I'm sure there are more...
Adam Levine isn't a very good singer, but his voice is slightly less nasally than it was in the 2000s.
3:27 WHY DID I EXPECT LADY GAGA TO SING "MY BABY SHARK DO DO DO DO DO"
u sure know how to put up good content 😍😍😍😍😍
Yess, could you also do some videos about male singers?
i would say leigh's technique HAS majorly improved, especially from X Factor/Wings era. Her main issue was in her breath support, and while that was probably caused partially by nerves, i would say controlling your nerves is a big part of technique regardless. She has a much stronger grasp on her vibrato now too!
Great choices. All phenomenal vocalists who started great and sound even better now. Kelly Clarkson is another one that comes to mind. Her tone is so much more complete, and her sense of musicality and versatility has grown so much over the years since her debut on AI. That woman can sing damn near ANYTHING convincingly at this point.
Can you do a tier list rank for the current pop stars?
Beyoncé's voice and technique gets better as she age.
those clips of you here and there really add something to the experience of watching your videos! i would recommend you to film them in landscape just so it fits better with the rest of the video
You're right! Ideally I would like to mix voiceover with an actual recordings of myself talking, but I'm not a very good presenter, and the fact that I am not a native English speaker doesn't help
Katy has improved a lot... I love her😍
I agree with a lot of this
Beyonce from the jump was an excellent singer who just had some bad vocal habits. She was always the best singer of her group & of her generation. I mean the vocal harmonies & arrangements DC were singing were crafted by Beyonce herself so the ear was always there. She took care of her voice by letting it mature and not sing those big huge songs like Another Sad Love Song or I have Nothing at a young age. With obvious natural talent & practice, she sings better than about 90-95% of the singers in mainstream music.
Yassssss we stan Leighanne 👏🏾👏🏾🥰🥰
I feel like Taylor's lows are now effortless and solid enough to name her a mezzo.
That's just my opinion
I love her lows too, rich buttery well supported and full of body but I rarely see her attempt anything else out of the usual. I wanna see belts, head voice, tone pitch etc coz her style, as beautiful and poetic her song writing is, is bland af
@@anelisajustanelisa236 Taylor has potential to do good mid belts, her lows are her comfort zone and are lovely, but I think she doesn't want people to see her as a vocalist and also she is not very confident about her vocals, once she sang an A4 that was supported and with vibratto
@@ferchokail I love Taylor but if you are 30yo been singing since 13 and still are at a place where you are "not confident" enough with your instrument to showcase it then maybe you just ain't that good🤷♀️. She's got access to the best trainers and a fanbase that adores everything she does so she really doesn't have an excuse for not improving and elevating her vocals the way she's worked on her songwriting 💁♀️
She's an improving Soprano voice. Lows =/= Mezzo or Contralto, come on y'all.
Taylor's voice actually sits high but technique makes all the difference.
Gaga was a killer vocalist from the day one and sound of music has nothing to do with that status, her howard sterm 2011 edge of glory performance js everything and anything a vocalist could possibly offer, people credit her now that she sounds classical but she kinda sacrificed her individuality by going darker and classical
Amazing vídeo. I would like to see in the part two more of Katy Perry evolution, Ariana and Tori Kelly improvement and Florence Welch. Male singers are really difficult...
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Beyoncé♡💖♡💖♡💖♡ WOW!! The growth through her vocals and voice have both improved tremendously. It never fails to amaze me at how controlled and looked after her voice is. Beyoncé is my NO.1 Queen👸 She's EVERYTHING to me and so much more.♡ ILYSM Queen 👸 Bey!♡💖♡💖♡💖♡ l also LOVE Katy and Vanessa soooooo MUCHHHHHH!!!!!♡🌸♡🌸♡🌸♡🌸♡
Jojo was already phenomenal when she 1st came out!
Jojo is literally the Brandy of right now!! It’s almost like she went to the school of Brandy to learn her voice!. I know Brandy is an Alto but it’s like she learned from the Full moon album when Brandy was singing soprano and not alto
That's a reach !
Lmao I never noticed Beyoncé’s improvement because I’ve BEEN listening to her but it was drastic, I love her so much and her work ethic is honestly so admirable. It’s the thing I appreciate about her most
For me I think male singers glow ups would go to Bruno Mars, Usher especially in longevity, and Sam Smith
Male singers are barely ever showcased on vocal channels 😅
Absolutely Bruno Mars. Compare Grenade to Leave the door open. 😩✨
Brendon urie as well!! My god he switched from being Greta to being AMAZING thanks to the musical theatre!! He played in kinky boots and his tecnique as of now is the best among male singers!
@@matteobuda9430 I actually have a few bootlegs of him in Kinky Boots and he does indeed sound better
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 i respect your own opinion and taste!❤️💪🏻 but from a pure technical aspect and not how the sound is (which is subiective) brandons technique is better. Not even much but definetly just a bit. Any vocal critic and experct saying that, non even me! Into the unknown ulrimately is a proof
For the male singers thing, I would wanna say Cody Simpson. Not many people really know his music , his childhood Disney stuff is what people know him for. But anyway . It's like , with every album or song, he just keeps getting better(vocally and with the music)! I feel like he constantly works on himself, and delivers some impressive vocals.
also I fricking love how you showed Leigh anne, she deserve that
And you said you might do a part 2? Yes, please consider. I think it's just nice to see improvement 😄 As for suggestions, I have no idea, I am so green when it comes to singing but it's just interesting to watch. Maybe kpop idols, I can tell some really improved from their debut years.
7:13 - come on, man. Disaster is IMPOSSIBLE. Bless Jojo for even trying. You can’t catch a breath the entire song, it requires aggressive vocals and high stamina, plus it sounds like she’s sick.
I’ll add Ariana on that list, I still remember those days when the f#3 on into you was the hardest thing to do for her 😭
it said "biggest" in the title. you would necessarily put any singer with just a single improvement
Vanessa actually had a singing career under Disney she had 2 albums I think
I Stan Jojo so hard
What are you guys talking about?, Beyoncé was always a natural talent, this woman surprised her teacher at 5/6 years old by supporting a hard note, better than the original singer of the song (no training), then surprised her first vocal coach , when hearing B for the first time, said that he didn't understand how a child without training, has a better technique than all adult professional singers he trained, this woman was a vocal arrange child AT 10\11\12, she always had great vocal knowledge and great vocals (but only being member of a group, couldn't show it much), in 2002 she put Celine Dion to shame live.
A lot of pop tenors can't even properly support D3-E3 but then there are these women. Scary queens 👑
Yess Beyoncé... overrated vocalist?? Really?? Not at all
Part 2 will be great, with Ariana, Tori, Demi.
Love the concept of the video
Gaga 😳 i didn't know😮😶
Hey can you do a video on miley's evolution in singing from her bangers era to now also rina sawayama
I loved it! Put Nicole Scherzinger next time 🤩
The TOP 4 would be P!nk for sure. And what's interesting those 3 beasts (Gaga, Bey, Jojo) are mezzos~
Amazing amazing amazing love the videos
Shawn Mendes had a vocal glow up, he became most confident about his vocals over the years, also his voice used to crack SO often, that hurts
