Is anyone a little annoyed by the vocals in the albums vs live performances?
Im aware live albums sound very different, but it’s more about her vocals being stuck. This isn’t really a huge problem and I might just be nitpicking, but she keeps writing songs that she can’t sing live. I really overlooked it in the first two albums cause she was so young and she had very strong performances when I watched her live. But at the same time, she was out of breath during basically every song that she wasn’t sitting down for.
I know she has asthma, but all the live performances of the new album have had me cringing especially Drop Dead because she literally can’t sing it at all (I know it’s very difficult, but she literally wrote it). Im not classically trained in western music but all the people she looks up to (Gwen Stefani, Robert Smith, Lily Allen, even Taylor) are very aware of their vocal strengths and weaknesses. Even her peers (Conan, Tate, Billie, Chappel) are rlly good at writing songs they can sing.
Now that I’m writing this out I’m maybe realizing most of the blame is Dan’s cause he’s producing and maybe too used to Conan and Chappel. I’m still going to see her on tour, but I hope she can deliver the very challenging album that she’s written. Maybe firing her Zionist vocal coach will help lol
