You sassy bitch........

No I'm actually serious... please respect me, I didn't call you names... I don't know what you mean by picky in this context

 

Soon we will see if SunMi's spent her time away from fame well (discounting that she had to leave school and everything).  I guess she'd be the most reliable indicator of how JYP's vocal training is shaping up (considering all the recent girls weren't home-grown... oh, I guess there was JJProject....)

I was thinking the same... I hope she improved, she was already a not bad vocalist...

Also, with that kind of breakdown Ahmin, SNSD isn't that far ahead of the other groups, really? XD  It's just that after you knock out the main vocal of each group (all being pretty even), in SNSD there's Jessica and Seohyun who are mediocre, vs. the other groups with only one at-best-mediocre vocalist....

LMFAO I was kidding. I see you guys call most vocalist mediocre or capable. Again, I know shit about vocals.

no honestly enough SNSD is only in average better because Taeyeon > Sunye > YeEun > Jessica/Seohyun > Tiffany/Sunny > Rest of both groups. But look at the other groups.. like top groups, Stephanie and Sunday are also pretty average, Dana being above average to capable... as for yknow SeeYa, Nam Gyuri is at best average, most likely weak.. Gain is average... I mean really no idol group has an overall of above average vocalists completely.

Well see that's the thing. I think capable is a compliment! lol >_< Like I don't personally find the terms the other guys use nice.. they're waaay too harsh. 

 

The scale goes: (Them - Me)

Amazing - Amazing

Excellent - Excellent 

Great - Great

Good - Good

Decent - Capable

Okay/Average - Above Average

Mediocre - Average

Below Average/Bad - Weak

Terrible - Bad LOL

 

I mean I find that mediocre is a very degrading word in itself.. so like average is the truth because even world wide, in all honesty, we have Beyonce and Sohyang who classify as excellent, then what? Some great vocalists like Ock Joohyun and Big Mama, but then here in the US? Lady Gaga is capable/good it varies... I'm not too familiar... then uh.. yknow.. everybody else is pretty average or weak.. like Jessie J, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and stuff.. so I think those are fair words.. we should change the dictionary in the thread~ (*bricked*)

Oh and one more thing, sometimes when I read this thread, I see how you criticize someone's technique for being too airy or using falsetto.

 

But what if the song's style is supposed to be sultry, soft, and sexy, and the artist uses an airy voice to fit in with the mood of the song. Do you criticize their technique for that? And what if the song is a soft ballad, and there's a high note that the artist uses falsetto with instead of belting it to keep the song soft. Do you also criticize that too? 

 

Sorry for all these questions I was just wondering haha.

GaYoon and JiYoon are both bad. I think SoHyun has more healthy moments than they do.

Oh rlly? I knew SoHyun was a good performer, but I didn't know she was better than the two main/lead vocalists :o Do you have a video you could show me haha. So would SoHyun be like mediocre, decent or haha

If it is used for a stylistic choice airiness/falsetto is fine. But if someone is uncontrollably airy, meaning they lack proper vocal cord closure and uses falsetto because they don't have head voice then it is a problem. Airiness irritates the vocal chords. Most idols have some kind of tone to them though, only actually really airy idol I know is SoYu and GaIn also kind of airy.

How do you tell if someone is airy on purpose or because of bad technique? And btw does falsetto damage your voice?

Well, people who are airy on purpose can produce solid tones, people who are not cannot produce solid tones. Also, people who use airiness as a style usually sound a lot more controlled than someone who is just airy because they lack proper chord closure. I think it irritates more than it damages, though I do think excessive use of it can damage your chords, falsetto isn't really healthy, because y'know it's airy lol.

 

Watch these performes

In this performance HyoRin uses a slightly airy tone in the beginning yet switches to a solid tone. Notice how it is controlled.

 

Now SoYu on the other hand is airy throughout this whole performance, notice how the airiness isn't really controlled and is just there. Like she can't control it.

Is SoYou bad, mediocre or. Has she shown any improvement to her voice since debut?

Oh and btw I don't think you should use that Cup of Coffee performance by HyoLyn. There's a newer one with her in black hair and it's in LovelyHyorin's youtube channel :) Check it out haha

That one is better though, she has a supported Eb5 in that one, where in the one with black hair she doesn't.

Omg it doesn't even take vocal pedagogy lessons to hear Bom's damaged voice . It definitely is ruined.

And how the FAQ is Jessica better than Taeyeon.

Jessica has better emotion than Taeyeon in ballad.

 

 

I don't know shit about vocals haha but I'm planning on learning lol. Would it be ok if one day I posted a snippet of me singing and have you judge it LOL 

Learn first before you do anything.

I've been lurking this forum and learned a few stuff. When I belt, I feel a vibration in my chest. Is that good?
