In my opinion the reason why people say Ariana has tension is because of her jaw thing.The jaw thing imo is stylistic thing that sometimes causes tension when she does runs but her belts(even not supported) still flawless
@@_brunoduarte_06 People said that about Whitney because of the veins in her neck when she sang. I constantly had to tell them that first of all singing uses muscles in your neck so those muscles produce veins at times. One well know and respected vocal coach always pointed it out when he would react to her live performances. Then people said Whitney’s vibrato was unnatural because of the way her jaw would shake but I once again I had to let them know it’s basically an esthetic thing it doesn’t affect her voice at all because she sang performances without shaking her jaw. People are weird. Lol.
Ariana's tension stems from two things, her odd jaw movements (stylistic reasoning) and also her really high placed larynx, which is better nowadays but still not great. She has a lot of natural ease and uses a heady mix but the tension holds her back.
demi’s vibrato is unnatural it’s evident. having too much power isn’t an excuse. whitney with so much power than hers and still could execute a pretty well done and strong vibrato too
I think for Adele, having kids and then her age reduced her upper range, but she can hit lower notes than before. Also, she didn't sing for many years between 2017 and 2021. So she became our of practice.
I think Adele's strength is her tone, which is incredible and one-of-a-kind. While, she doesn't have the greatest range, I love her chest-head voice transitions and the little vocal choices she makes.
Beyonce's?? Hmmm probably the high belts, she's not that good at mixing she is so savage and chesty, which i love, but yeah probably that and also thx😝
This is a minor thing but I hate the term supported in videos like these since every note is supported. You can’t hit a note without support. Even Selena Gomez has many “supported” notes. It means nothing 😭 I rather they use terms like open or clear or powerful or resonant etc instead of supported
What support means in this context is proper vocal fold closure with proper airflow. Just like how when they say resonance, every note is technically resonating, that's how sound just works. But theyre referring to squillo, the ringing sound that can fill halls and project through the choir being achieved through strong breath support, optimal vowels and proper development.
@@debutriah2854 Regardless of how it should be used, it is being used. So it's important we try and understand what they're trying to mean. By the logic stated beforehand, Selena Gomez has a resonant voice. I get what you mean, but I think the best way to move forward is to see what people's definitions are, because at the end of the day, it matters less what it is and more so what's going on vocally.
@@loafytofu1525 I mean, I guess but even so, intentionally misdefining words with actual meaning is an insult to vocal pedagogy. It’s the reason we have so many people making severely invalid claims and promoting them as fact. Kinda makes the community of those who actually study pedagogy and want to maintain a level of correctness and honesty look bad
Fact is, Most of these people don’t really know what support is and how it really works. But honestly: The term ‚resonance‘ is even worse in those circles because it is even less well defined. And it is definitely not squillo - because it’s a sound that was first discovered an only found in male singers. Female classical singers don’t sing with that sound, they use different resonances. And that’s exactly the point: There is much more than just one Type of good resonance. And what does ‚good‘ even mean for them in this context? Does it mean healthy? Because if so, than super twangy bright and piercing sounds + raising the larynx with rising the pitch (think Patti Labelle or Anastacia) would be ahead. Rounder sounds are not inherently healthier. Bigger spaces = darker/rounder resonance and bigger sound = requires more force to resonate Smaller spaces = light/bright sound = requires less force to vibrate. Less force = less dangerous
in your opinion, a singer like Christina Aguilera, doesn't she know that by keeping her larynx low she will have more difficulty sustaining notes, especially high ones, risking making them tense? it's not a question of bad technique, it's a stylistic choice. yes it's true this led her to not have easy access to the mix, but in a world where there was already Celine Dion or Mariah Carey, she preferred to focus on enriching her power and unique timbre. now tell me, who is able to sing like Christina? no one. if she had taken a different stylistic path she would probably now have easy access to the mix like the others, but she wouldn't have that more unique and rare timbre that she has always possessed. no one has her charisma
@@aroldavid8806 She can keep that unique timbre, bold approach and the lowered larynx to create that darker, grittier sound up until C5 but going higher it's just too inefficient. Believe me when I say having access to a higher end of her mix won't take away from her, it'll add to her.
@@loafytofu1525 Christina has always said she wants to be either black or white. She has a very warm, powerful, deep chest voice and a super light, floating head voice. The mix would take away a unique difference in her voice. Like Ariana Grande, where you can barely tell if she's in mix or head voice
@@aroldavid8806 Well, for starters Christina doesn't even use head voice, she uses falsetto. But I guess if she likes it that way that is fine, but having an entire inaccessible part of your voice is pretty sad.
@ she uses both, she doesn't literally speak in her masterclass. however it's not sad, because as I said she is either white or black, not in between. either she pushes with the belting or she flies with the head voice. the mix would connect the two things
9:37 Is pronounced Throat-tee-ness on the contrary to your previously aforementioned Throat-tightness xo
I dont know how i said it that wrong🤣🤣 but you know what, the way i said it it still makes sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly its just for the runs i don't hear tension at all

20:19 she improved a lot, i recommend you to watch the new video of her live vocal range, she has amazing notes from B2 up to C6

this probably sounds weird but i think her jaw movements are so satisfying especially in wicked
@@burnt.norton I like it too, I always have like in 'Save your Tears' with The Weeknd.

Also, I'm so impressed that Kelly has been able to fix her throatiness issue over the years
I think the only tension that Ariana ever has is in her jaw when doing runs sometimes.
You seem to keep confusing the concepts of style and technique throughout most of your analysis.
Which you think is the Beyoncé's main vocal flaw? 🤔 Me encanta tu humor, que pasó 😂
