    "Be Alive" is one of Bey's very best vocal performances. And it's a beautifully arranged song, too.

    Thank youuuu!!
    Beyonce IS a Legitimate vocalist. My having spent 42yrs in this business (started in music 80s with Alexander O'Neal, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, wrote for Babyface Edmonds, Angelina Jolie films, countless TV shows, Jingles, etc.) it irks me to see music fall so very far from grace. & Beyonce is still criminally underrated. Ppl actually claim "she can't sing"!!! Nuts. NUTS!!

    I really love your mind. The way you break those vocals down is so amazing. Of course the credits goes to Beyoncé, but the way you make it easy to understand is all on you. Thank you for dadicating the time to deliver one of your greatest videos AGAIN! The way your videos about Beyoncé and Brandy are rich is because before analizing, you understand their instruments as a fan. thank you again

    Do you think changing the key is about comfort or the emotion she was trying to portray with respect to this specific arrangement? I think she would be comfortable either way but may feel it's simply boring to perform the song as it was recorded.

    Was hoping you’d address how her voice has slowly started developing a rasp @17:07 when she sings yeah, I herd some similar rasp when she performed halo at Kobe’s funeral
    Looking at Whitney and Mariah’s singing, rasp can denote the beginning of vocal deterioration. And it could that be the reason she lowered the key more than just a half step?

    • @dominiquemoore2367
      @dominiquemoore2367 2 роки тому +2

      That's a stylistic choice she's adding that on purpose... That's how great she is Beyonce is one of those artist that knows her voice very well and well never force notes like that's not naturally there...

    • @kapulafred
      @kapulafred 2 роки тому +1

      @@dominiquemoore2367 you’re talking about something else entirely, but either way, rasp on purpose sounds like Christina Aguilera and natural rasp sounds like Pink! here Beyoncés voice is showing signs of a developing rasp like Mariah in 1997/1998. Mariah is star rated vocalist and a vocal legend but even her voice changed in 1997 and many say it’s never been the same again. Yes she had nodules etc but my main point here is Beyoncé is a perfectly technical singer but could it be that her voice has started deteriorating? What makes Beyoncé perfect is she’s changed her old songs to fit her new voice and her new music has entirely changed to suit the new voice which still sounds great and healthy and top notch after all these years. Definitely a queen for the longest vocal prime.
