SPECIAL THANKS TO Diego_Santa for supplying clips!!! Here is his channel: / aullido124
1. Belted Notes
For a note to be considered Golden, it must be consistently "perfect" in the vocalists' range. They must be able to sustain it with resonance, and be able to sing it with resonance on a very consistent basis.
Golden: 3.0 points
Ringing inconsistent/consistently grounded: 2.5
Grounded inconsistent: 2
Free consistent: 1.75
Inconsistently free: 1
Tense: .5
Underbelts are notes that are ringing under the vocalists' starting note, and as Lara is a soprano that means notes under G4. They can either earn 1 point for inconsistent resonance, or 1.5 for consistent.
2. Low Notes
Golden: 2.0
Full Fairly Consistently: 1.75
Inconsistently full: 1.25
Inconsistently free: 0.75
Tense/Airy: 0.25
3. Head Voice
Golden: 2.0
Inconsistently Resonant or consistently grounded 1.75
Inconsistently grounded 1.25
Inconsistently free 0.75
Tense 0.25
4. Whistle Notes
Golden: 0.3
Not golden but Musical: 0.2
Off-key: 0.1
7. Vocal Control:
Here is Stamina explained!
1/4: First Song vs Last Song: This point is earned if the vocalist is able to sing the last song in their concert just as well as the first.
Lana earns this point.
2/4: First Show vs Last Show: This point is earned if the vocalist is able to perform their last show in a tour to the same height as their first.
Lana earns this point.
3/4: This point is earned if the vocalist did not rely on lipsyncing to perform their more challenging songs.
Lana earns this point.
4/4: This point is earned if the vocalist consistently adds ad-libs that are not in the studio versions of their songs to their live performances.
Lana constantly does this to her own songs and covers.
8. Vocal Effects:
For each skill that the vocalist is capable of, they earn a point. If they are a master of this skill, they earn two points.
9. (Lack of) Vocal Issues: Here, if the vocalist has any major issues, they are deducted a varying amount of points from the ten given in this category.
10. Consistency/Longevity: If the vocalist has struggled with consistency in the past or has drastically declined from their prime, they will have points deducted in this category from 5.
I’m shocked at her belting! I didn’t know she could power belt like that! She’s pretty damn good, even with her highly stylized vocals! Impressive!
She’s so underrated as a vocalist. Her lower register is my personal favorite out of any female singer. Her artistic creativity along with her hypnotic lyrics makes her my favorite artist as of recent times
Taste
@@Diego_Santa 😊♥️
Ooh, what about her lower register captivates you the most? Is it the nostalgic vibe it gives?
@@GarageStudio7 I can’t quite explain it tbh. She maintains that fullness all the way down to the bottom of her range while also maintaining that smokey, haunting, stylistic tone. I am obsessed with her lower 3rd octave.
@@Ryan_K535 I'll have to listen to her more. She's a better vocalist than I previously thought; many were making it seem like she's in that "great 👗" category.
Omg she never really struck me as a vocalist with her very stylistic singing.
I think we all know that Lana's goal was never to be a huge vocalist, but using her voice as an artistic complement to her music, what doesn't make sense to me is people using a performance (from 10 years ago, at the beginning of her career) in order to discredit her vocal abilities, when in fact many good vocalists had disastrous performances, is not something unique to Lana. But either way, she has very unique vocal characteristics, a low register and head voice that many singers who focus only on belting don't come close to having, she would be phenomenal if she focused on improve her vocal abilities.
Lana's voice is quite nostalgic, plus memorable; her artistry is also captivating.
I can only imagine how she would sound if she actively trained her voice.
For an untrained voice, it's like she naturally has 🎶 _the best of both worlds_ 🎶 (in my Hanna Montana voice). C#3 in lows (even though it's inconsistent, most Sopranos have to work for that and many don't even get there. Resonant 4th octave notes, grounded & free E5 (inconsistent).
It really seems like she's a hybrid voice type: *A Dugazon Soprano.*
She is a better vocalist than I thought. Thanks for this showcase & analysis!
Her music is ART
I read that comment as « her music is fart » 😂 sorry for that lmao
I think Honeymoon album has her best vocals. The songs are soooo hard to sing. As someone who loves to sing, I'd say it's pretty difficult. She can go really high, I was mind blown when I realized.
She's not the GREATEST vocalist but she is not BAD as people say. She's just good enough.
It's her beautiful pure timbre not all men can mimick female timbre
sirens has such nice vocals tbh
She is the greatest!
I've never heard her belt voice or her rasp. OMG she'd be amazing in metal too
She has a lower set voice for such a light tone but it’s gorgeous
It's a shame she's not using those earlier techniques nowadays and her latest albums feature virtually no belting. She has the pipes for it (when she smokes a bit less)
she quit smoking years ago.
she vapes@@livingdeadgirl5
i have no idea what any of this means but her voice to me is magical so thank you.
I'd love to see lana do those whistle tones some day
If you would ever like to, could you do an analysis for Sia? She's not gonna have really high score, but she has some good high belts (even her E5-F5 sometimes sound kinda free) and her agility/stylistics are interesting too
Her overall range is something like D3 (Titanium) - F#5 (Courage to change) - B5 (Chandelier) or D6 (Buttons) btw
she’s underrated as a vocalist and has beautiful tone in my opinion. wish she’d work on her consistency and confidence but then i don’t really care for her or her music anymore lol you should do this for florence welch who is also an underrated vocalist!
The fact U just put Florence and Lana in the same sentence is funny. Florence is more of a vocalist than Lana ever will be
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 so disrespectful all the time smh
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 she really is not… they’re about the same i would say. florence’s lows are literally terrible but her belts are good, much better than lanas. everything else their about the same
@@notyourdaddy2148 ok I’ll give u that one but Florence does have a better technique
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 No ❤️
I WAITED FOR THIS GOD KNOWS HOW LONG
Definitely not the best, but a very interesting vocalist!! Thank you for another great video Cam!
I never knew she could belt like that sis can blow she just needs to work on a few things get a better technique and she would literally be unstoppable
I'm waiting for people to classify her as a Dugazon even though it's not necessary. She's a pop singer she doesn't have to be called a Dugazon. She's just a mid soprano. Her fifth octave belts/mix is surprisingly good. She's an atypical type of vocalist. Her lows are gorgeous and her head voice is very pretty.
You might say Lana has many vocal skills she rarely use, sadly.
Mid Soprano, low Soprano, high soprano. So we're just making up our own fach systems right?
@@liveinlove4945 Is she an opera singer? Yes or no? That's not making up a Fach system. The Fach system is for classical singers. She's just simply a soprano. Saying words like low, mid, or high are just descriptors. It's describing the kind of soprano she is without giving her a classical voice classification.
@@ThePianoguy89 Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano and Contralto are still voice classifications from fach.
So you are still using the fach system. Trying to alter it with Low Soprano, Mid Soprano and High Soprano doesn't change that.
@@liveinlove4945 Terms like dramatic, lyric, and spinto are sub-types. Those are vocal classifications for the German Fach system. Soprano, mezzo soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, and bass are voice types and those terms have been adapted outside of classical vocal music. It's not necessary to classify a non-classical singer as a lyric, spinto, dramatic, coloratura, or any of those hybrid voice types. It doesn't always translate well into contemporary music. So again calling someone a low or mid soprano is not making up the Fach system. That's why there needs to be a distinction between voice types and voice classification. There's a difference. All you need to know that she's a soprano voice. That's it.
Props Lana!! TBH I always thought that she couldn't sing because of all the stuff that I've heard people say about her. And i'm not a stan either so I didn't know what to expect. But she's good man. Amazing lows great 4th octave belts Smooth healthy head voice and breath control. Come on queen 86 points is really good.
Agreed! I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised.
I wouldn’t put Lana in the vocalist category cause of how she sings and how her songs are made!
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 ????
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 can you elaborate?
@@speedycomet1692 Her little goat singing doesn’t make her a vocalist and the way she doesn’t use her technique (if she even has any) also doesn’t make her a vocalist. Singer ≠ Vocalist. She is just a singer who can sing high if she wants too
She dosent have the strongest voice but she can touch with her voice alot people . She got better vocally too
I loved the new format of your videos
Thank you!
She's not THE GREATEST vocalist, but she's definitely not as bad as people say she is. There was one video that put her in a "singers who can't sing" video. I need to show this to the person who made that. Like, she definitely can sing! She's definitely an above average vocalist.
Lana tem uma voz incrível e nostálgica😍❤️
is 86 good? many don't think lana is a technically good singer but she proves her worth I'm surprised. I live for her lows
I would said that above G5 it's more difficult for her. She can do it, but it's not her comfortable zone
Can u do katy perry, she has glisando to d6 in ikag, dejavu b5-d6 mixes, whistles etc.
I’d love to!
Giorgia Todrani in her fifties is still killing it, She deserves an analysis like this
i love lana
3:35 what was she preforming here?
You should do Katrina Valarde next
If someone can make a template for her I’d love to!
Can U do one for Queen Aretha Franklin?
If anyone makes a template I will!
I take it that the late, great and legendary Karen Carpenter is not worthy of such acclaim. What about Shirley Bassey or Floor Jansen?, Linda Ronstadt? Anyway, thanks for the video. It is good to know people like you exist. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
When you’re obsessed with her voice doesn’t matter what kind of singer she is.
You Should Next Beyonce or/and Whitney Houston!.
please do barbra streisand
You should do Faouzia next
is her supported range C#3 - C#5/D5?
No🙂 it's F3/F#3~A4/Bb4~F5
She is way weaker for C#5/D5
0:54 what song was that 😭😭😭
Sohyang next please
Where is the C#6 from I cant find it 😭
From her song “Cola”
The greatest vocalists are the best operatic/classical vocalists. Whitney Houston is the closest to an operatic approach of any of these women (followed by Celine Dion).
Look up Lani Misalucha
And Caterina Valente and Maureen McGovern.@@iiviiimitski
What is this song? 0:55
this is an unreleased song, it doesn’t exist in any other form, she sang it at the sound check before the concert
you did her wrong with the title-
nope
lisa fischer is great vocalist too
cual es el nombre de la cancion en el minuto 3:07
Blue jeans (en concreto Amoeba 2011)
@@Diego_Santa gracias 😘
talking about the best vocalist.there is Celine,Whitney,Barbra or Mariah....
they were just saying she have a large vocal range..
she is not better han Tina Turner or Barbra Sraisand and how she is the best vocalist? :D
She is obviously a Mezzo. Unhappily her style doesn't allow her to deliver her best vocally.
You think so? She sounds very high to me, her lower belts are weak below G4, her lows kinda fade below C#3, and her head voice is bright up top… I only hear soprano tbh
@@CamdenE she sounds weight on the 4th octave. The lack of easy that she has above the Eb5 it is weird even for a underdeveloped soprano. Her head voice is beautiful, but i don't think it matches the soprano strength on the upper register. The comfort below F3-E3 it's also not common at all for a soprano, since the soprano tessitura goes down to a G#3-G3, when well trained. I'm sure she's a Mezzo😊
@@pedromurilo1050 This is just a bunch of vocal myths you said, range has nothing to do with the voice type, you'll barely find a soprano who wouldn't struggle at C5 from the start, those belts don't just magically appears within your range, they all takes years of consistent practice and dedication and that's what Lana is definitely lacking sadly and that's exactly why she doesn't have "ease", cause you stated it yourself - she's an undeveloped soprano
Soprano tessitura goes WAY below G3, lmao, you probably think of modern pop-sopranos but they are hardly even developed when it comes to overall voice core and solid lower range base, it's like talking tenors shouldn't have anything lower than C3 within their consistent range but it's bs, I'm a very high tenor and my consistent lows goes down to G#2, again, range has nothing to do with your voice type
@@lightning0506 i did not say a soprano should not have anything below G3, i said a NORMAL soprano does not have COMFORT below G3. And even though vocal range does not determinate your vocal type, its still important to classify a voice. The main form to determinate your vocal type is to identify your tessitura (comfort region) and your passagio zone, and the passagio zone of a mezzo is D5-E5, wich is where she can't go further without mixing, not necessarily 'cause it breaks, but because of a change of color and texture in the voice.
@@pedromurilo1050 What? D5-E5, lmao, even highest of sopranos has their second passagio at C#5/D5 belting-wise, you probably misinformed that F#5 is soprano passagio and mezzo is E5/D5, but that's nonsense, those ranges are for HEAD VOICE passagio (yeah, head voice has several configurations too), absolutely NOT for belting. Typical lyric mezzo has passagio at E4-A4-E5 (those are actually my passagios as well), that's actually what Adele sounds like (normal mezzo-soprano, especially now, in her earlier years she was a higher mezzo, now she's kinda typical one)
Again, you were confused, females has 3 passagios just as males, don't spread misinformation please, Lana seems to have her 2 belting passagio around B4/Bb4, this is where her voice tends to be inconsistent/she needs to adjust her voice, a sign of passagio area
Lana is meh but she is so freaking controversial politically especially with what happened with the billboard charts
True. That was really yikes. And the thing abt masks during the beginning of the pandemic.
She’s not the best out there but saying she’s "meh" is too much lmao
Lmfao ofc GFB would be saying shit about Lana here. Take your toxicity out of here bozo
saying it as if it is objective lol, fair enough you guys think she should’ve worn an obviously protective mask & that she shouldn’t have named specific other artists when complaining about how her personal experience of being mistreated by the media - I just don’t consider those reasons to dislike her / deem her controversial… I mean if that is the bar to be politically controversial then think you’d struggle to find someone who couldn’t be characterised that way
I'm bored 😮
then leave?
Okay what do you want us to do?
