Grimes has admitted to making her vocal pitch higher in the studio. This is a reason she doesn’t hit those notes live. Not to mention singing the way she does on her albums can be quite exhausting. Mostly when her vocals are that high.
The Elder Grimes does have a pretty impressive range, it’s just that she doesn’t have enough vocal training to be able to support some of them. She has improved in recent years though.
She originally used a lot of reverb and delay on her microphones to carry that voice in the early years. Somedays she has good vocal days, sometimes not, but she's really an engineer and a performer not the vocalist, she always layers her voice to make a texture which is hard to reproduce live.. Which is why she uses her voice as an instrument and hires back up aka HANA.
i thought her singing was completely fine lol plus true, she very obviously puts edits tf out of her songs, including her voice so some of it is genuinely not replicable
That's why she doesn't like it when ppl call her a 'singer. She kept saying she's a musician, producer or sound engineer. She says she suck at singing.
Agreed. Quite disrespectful. Grimes opened for Florence + The Machine. I was there for Florence and didn't know Grimes at the time, but TOTALLY vibed with her and enjoyed her.
This is what music should be... Fun, free, creative. Thank you chickies, so inspiring! And women playing together as a team, not competing with each other. Refreshing!!
@@masterpiecelacquers2766 because they're freely experimenting with these things on stage while also singing, playing instruments and having a visibly fun time.
@@JosefineLea how the fuck do you "experiment " on stage when 90% of a song is prerecorded? Experimenting live means there is rhythm section and other instrumentation that can morph on the fly. Even the vocals are processed. Lol.
@@masterpiecelacquers2766 - As an ol' school multi-instrumentalist I get where you are coming from, though I wonder what you are pushing back on. If you are trying to preserve a common recognition of what distinguishes the performance of music on traditional instruments from some guy on stage in front of fifty thousand fans who (let's face it) is more or less just pressing play on their iPod, then you have your work cut out for you. But when I stumbled into my first rave some 30 yrs ago I quickly realized that it was MY definition of music that was inadequate. The way the people in that warehouse defined music was infinitely more than adequate. Music, like all art, lies ALWAYS in the heart of the beholder. Artists must resist the temptation to believe that they have created the music when what they have in fact created, however artfully, are conditions and settings that are better suited for the emergence of the muses from within their audience.
the sound department aint helping this jam fly off the hook..."blasting them into another techno/rock dimension.." (think Jack Black trying to convince you of her worthiness))
She is a producer... she made this song... that's all it matters.... she had to go on stage, and oviusly wasn't completely convincing about her instruments skills... but she said that she wasn't good with instruments... so she had to perform for you... but the song is real, is her song... better enjoy it before criticizing it... she is awesome and you know that... other wise you're not reading my comment... :-)
Coming to her concerts is for you to experience the vibe she has with each song. How she makes it. Since she loves to do it layer by layer live. It's experiencing the C we love, recreating her song. 💖 It's such an awesome experience imagining this is how her mind goes while she's making the song in her own room. One thing I love about her art- raw, free, confident and non-conforming. Pure self-expression.
I love her energy and performance. She's having fun and delivery a great show. Sure, it doesn't sound identical to the edited studio version, but this is what I came to seeeeeeee.
Admiro mucho a Grimes por el hecho de que se lanzo hacia una carrera sin tener mucho trasfondo musical, pero teniendo una idea clara de la música que quería crear. Creo que ella es una de las pocas personas que se atreve a ser ella misma aún cuando signifique estar en contra de muchas normalidades del mundo.
She's one of those few artists that are truly incredible in the studio but the work doesn't really translate the same way live. There's nothing wrong with that though I could name a few artists that barely play anything on a particular album because the amount of production elements and treatments on some of the instrumentation is hard to replicate live and I think the same thing probably applies to her work.
Oh for sure, the amount of energy it takes to perform one of her songs live is insane. literally doing 6 things at once, that there is talent by itself.
Unfortunately she is making huge excuses for her inability to perform live by trying to say "live music is dying" because the studio tricks arent entirely available in live performances or when they are used its completely obvious. Use of vocal processors, almost all of the music is prerecorded and she uses backing vocal tracks of herself to make her thin voice carry live. Live music should be able to morph on the fly to add an edge of unpredictability which with her is entirely lacking. It's like watching a dance recital with a cd player as the music.
Nothing wrong with this performance. Just watching someone that talented with that much confidence is enough. This is what live is. It's not the same as computer programming, which is what her recorded music is.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I love this live version so much anyone who claims to love grimes but doesnt like this ... is not a true fan this shows how talented she really is!!!!!!
Kassie Grace I guess I’m not a true fan then? Does this mean I can’t listen to her albums anymore? I’ll just do whatever you say since everything you say is TRUTH!
yeah agree with Aaron, Kassie's comment was pretty arrogant and presumptuous. some are able to look past the fact that this was vocally really (even the lyp synched parts were not well done ) and still love it which is fine, others like me are not able to and found this performance very uncomfortable and cringy but still love the original song. and that is also fine. deal with it and stop speaking for others
I don't know why but I'm obsessed with this song, it's the only one I know by Grimes and loved this performance! I think she's pretty visionary, I can picture people 10 years from now performing like this... Idk why but I imagine people are gonna be like that, also reading throught the comments I discovered she is the producer and engineer of her own songs, that's talent right there! I really hopes she gets better at performing, she will be winning lots of awards and performing worldwide for sure!
I can only compare the feeling I get when listening to her to the same feeling I got when I went to live grateful dead shows. you know the performance is raw and live when you see that much innovation going on
If you want perfect music stick to computers. If you want to see a live music performance of a highly crafted studio song don't expect it to sound like the album unless it's a DJ/lipsync show (blah). The Beatles never performed their studio albums live because it's a whole different animal.
lol within this performance she reminds me of like a neo minnie retro 50s diner pulp fiction grunged tainted tim burton filmed theme of a small chick that made it big, a world princess
I liked it *shrug emoji* her pitch is fine, she just changed it so she could sing live. She has great energy too :) I've deffs seen worse too from bigger artists like Avril Lavigne but look how good she is live now. I hope Grimes keeps at it
So much negativity & comments from uninformed, ignorant haters, when this was such a great performance............. *Grimes & HANA* are _BOTH_ extremely talented artists & performers. Their friendship is #goals.
Statistically, live music's not dying; it's actually the opposite. You can thank millennials and zoomers for increased concert attendance. To be fair, Grimes wasn't saying anything about the state of current live music. She was saying that AI will soon create art better than humans and that it will be the end of an era. Who knows? She could be right, but so far, the music that's been created by AI can't compete at all. A lot of people say it sucks, just like how some people taught AI to write stories after feeding it a bunch of text. Grimes could be right but she shot herself in the foot by talking like there was no doubt about it. For all we know, the world could end in nuclear war before AI even advances to the level of singularity. The exponential advancement of technology could plateau soon too. But hey who knows? It's all just speculation. The lesson here is to not act so cocksure and talk like you're 100% sure all the time. Or maybe if you wanna promote your upcoming album and you don't care about bad press, then yeah go for it. Personally I don't think she was that strategic and was probably under the influence of something when she posted those tweets.
La gente que escucha esta musica es gente que tiene la mentalidad lo suficientemente abierta como para entender lo que es un proyecto artistico multisensorial, Grimes NO es una cantante, es una productora, artista visual y multimedia, músico, mezcla su musica con muy poquitos vocals a los que les sube el pitch, lo hace solo para que la presentaciòn de la canciòn sea mejor. En fin quien escucha Grimes sabe que la "voz" es lo de menos, cuando ella literalmente toca cada instrumento en sus producciones, y cuida cada detalle artistico de ellas.
Yep it’s Hana. Hana backs for her quite a bit, definitely has the stronger voice of the two, but I also love Grimes’ breathy vocals, its mix of innocence and sense of freedom, and her moves on stage are inimitable
I love grimes and this is my favorite song by her but tbh this performance seemed a bit weird to me. People are gonna interpret that as harsh criticism and/or me hating on her (which I definitely do not) but the singing was way different from how the original song sounded. BIG BIG props tho to her and Hana playing all those instruments without breaking a sweat 👍👍
She's fun. Like her energy. Brave artistic style. Free. Cool
cool.
I like your comment. Not ordinary. Getting to the point. Short. Cool

Also the person filming had a quite bad mic. It often happens that the sound get much worse when it is recorded by an old phone.

She kills it even if she doesn't sing like a mainstream popstar. Still a creative and catchy song
"why are there so many hate comments" am i the only one who doesnt see any hate comments
Comments move around as more get added. You don't see them all.. I never understand comments like this.
Grimes and Hana are amazing duo. Love them both!
She killed it but the audience was so lifeless
the sound department aint helping this jam fly off the hook..."blasting them into another techno/rock dimension.." (think Jack Black trying to convince you of her worthiness))
watch the loolapalluza(?) live performance
Agreed. Why do people go to concerts and zone out? I don't even get how that's possible at a show like this.
I'm in my 40's and she's such a inspiration !
Me too! I was actually just thinking this very thing right now.
Yo tambien tengo 40😊
you're not that much older than her
I'm 54 and this song brings me back to the 80's...I love it!
I'm in my 60's lol
I love Grimes and her quirky little crew.

grimes is a literal bodisattva... funny to finally see wtf all the buddhist literture i read was talking about! lol

Grimez is the realist mainstream act right now
Yeah man I'd like to see them do better

Watching grimes perform fills me with the utmost joy
ok but her stage presence is remarkable
Those people hating should know she started making music in her 20s so making something even this good is an accomplishment
She's one of those few artists that are truly incredible in the studio but the work doesn't really translate the same way live.

She just needs to get a full band up there with her and it would rock . One person just can't do all that by herself, no matter how talented.
@@benlevy4827 But she does do it all and honestly it's pretty damn good for doing six things at once.

@@michellebastiani6470 she has backing tracks of everything including her own voice. It's like watching someone sing in the shower to the radio.
The more I listen to Grimes the more I like her. She sounds great live.
How can you not like this girl? She is just herself and just goes w/ it.
They just used this for Mr. Robot season 4. Completely lost it when it suddenly played.
Her energy live carries these songs to new heights.
Nothing wrong with this performance. Just watching someone that talented with that much confidence is enough. This is what live is. It's not the same as computer programming, which is what her recorded music is.
Wish i were half as confident as she is. She knows she's got it.

She is doing computer distortion of every sound in her music. And it is real like in realtime performancing, and legit as an artIST
this looks soo fun, doing music like this live is very hard, they did great
She’s so amazing
