____shawnee 4,118 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Meaning, they sound great in the studio, but on stage, they aren't so stellar... For example, we all know Usher and Cunt Brown can impress But if this performance is the "best version" I don't think I want to see the others A more extreme example I kinda didn't wanna use Mariah because I feel like I pick on her a lot but oh well. She's the type to put literally everything she has in the studio and not have anything left for live performances. Studio Live (skip to 3:17, she sounds like that in some parts because she didn't realize that no one turned off her mic when it was time for her to lip the belts and whistles) Miguel is a mess himself but he wasn't the worst part of this performance so I'll let him slide today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinky 15,878 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 yes. a good singer should be able to sing well live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRH Ayyu 4,199 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 i consider bom a bad singer even thought her studio voice is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeokdae 3,324 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Isn't that the ONLY way to judge a good singer? I mean, with editing like autotune and voice layering, anyone can sound good in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenFrostine 1,789 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Mariah sounded better during the rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myugyu 1,660 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 not really, I just think they're bad performers. Technically they can still sing and are better than the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiyuu 1,417 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well yeah, if I pay to see you in the flesh then your ass better know how to sing or at least cover it up with some A+ Grammy worthy performance stunt shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
page6lovers 937 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes. Also mariah sounded perfect live in her first decade. Her prime is what matters. Not when she's 45 with a worn out voice and vocal nodules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

____shawnee 4,118 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Isn't that the ONLY way to judge a good singer? I mean, with editing like autotune and voice layering, anyone can sound good in the studio. Well for people like Chris Brown and Mariah, they do belts and runs in the studio that a Taylor Swift or Jay Park would never be able to do, even in the studio. So they have some type of talent. They just are less capable of showing it live. That's my dilemma with it. Yes. Also mariah sounded perfect live in her first decade. Her prime is what matters. Not when she's 45 with a worn out voice and vocal nodules. Her prime isn't relevant to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenefanclub 517 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 if they're dancing, i dont base a solid opinion on it, and with kpop groups, if the member singing that sounds bad is supposed to be a rapper, i usually let it slide. if they suck while they're sitting down then they're just a bad singer. also, i try not to form an opinion on 1 performance, i try to see multiple performances of a couple songs.

baetics 888 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well, if they haven't showed any improvement for a period of time then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93605 1,232 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 depends. if they can't sing well live when they're dancing around and stuff then no but if it's a slower song and they're not moving much and they still suck then yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkPunk 1,129 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah. You can heavily process a song in the studio and add reverb to make the tone sound thicker or you can fix the pitch etc. You can use multiple different takes to make someone sound good. Live performances are a much better example of someones singing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXOSUS 2,534 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 depends. if they can't sing well live when they're dancing around and stuff then no but if it's a slower song and they're not moving much and they still suck then yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets Get Layed 874 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If they can't sing while standing still then they aren't a good singer. But if they're performing with dance or lots of movement then that's different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinRaeRa 121 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes. My opinion of most artists have changed because of the studio vs live thing. Studio can cover things up, live......not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoyeon~Minzy 12,109 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes I do. If they can't even hold a note, sing on pitch, sound shaky af then they're a bad singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Depends. A singer who doesn't sing well live for one performance doesn't mean they're bad, especially if their vocal conditions aren't healthy. When you consider that singers, especially Kpop singers, have to constantly sing, that can take a toll on their voices if they aren't allowed vocal rest.
