Cheryl WAS off key, she sounded fucking awful. Higher standards? It's not like I'm expecting her to bust out singing like Mariah Carey.

Cheryl's voice isn't particularly strong, but she didn't sound off key. I can appreciate some people may have higher standards when it comes to vocals but I think a lot of peopel just like to have a go at her because she's beautiful and they are jealous of that, which is really sad. Regardless or what you think of her talent and looks, she clearly worked very hard to get to where she is today.<br /><br />But there was definetly nothing wrong with Gary's vocals.Gashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-28100557375128633462012-06-20T07:53:09.772+01:002012-06-20T07:53:09.772+01:00Sadly, I saw on BBC today, after seeing this perfo...Sadly, I saw on BBC today, after seeing this performance Britain en masse decided to purchase her new single.

He basically had to carry this performance on his own. This was god awful. Gary looked like he wanted to go upside her head with his microphone. I will say that Cheryl Cole at least knows that she's a talent-less tramp. Have you seen her interview with popjustice? she proves just how musically inept she is by referring to dubstep as "dub", which is a sub-genre of reggae, and refusing to see the similarities between her song "Call my Name" and Rihanna's. She then proceeds to school the interviewer at POPjustice what consitutes as pop music these days. She basically admitted that her record label does everything to craft her image, and that she has no idea what the lyrics to "Call my Name" mean.Mel Rhttp://twitter.com/Melo_R0noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-14208908473288695342012-06-08T21:03:12.037+01:002012-06-08T21:03:12.037+01:00I did understand how you meant it but I feel stron...I did understand how you meant it but I feel strongly that it's a slippery slope if you ( The generalized "you") start using a term like that .

I don't accept anybody having a "studio voice". What you are speaking of is really a computer animated voice. It doesn't exist outside of technology.<br /> That, to me, makes it meaningless as a singing voice.Opie Everhttp://www.facebook.com/opie.evernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-15816016840602574192012-06-08T19:18:52.162+01:002012-06-08T19:18:52.162+01:00Yes, I understand why you did it Hannah but if Mis...Yes, I understand why you did it Hannah but if Misty has any feelings regarding something I said to her or about how I said it, I would prefer her to state those herself.

I've said on here time and time again (even before you came to this blog) that Lana is not a good performer and that her live singing is no match for her studio voice. Perhaps you'd like to read my comments on this blog post about the matter. <br />http://www.divadevotee.com/2012/04/lana-del-rey-performs-blue-jeans-on.html So we are in agreement. However, I'm not yet convinced it's just "studio magic" making her voice great on her records. I believe that she has given good live performances and I do think she can sing. That is where we differ; agree to disagree.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-85292149809837753572012-06-08T18:43:12.990+01:002012-06-08T18:43:12.990+01:00I like you too Opie, and you're a strong prese...I like you too Opie, and you're a strong presence on this blog, so I would prefer not to argue with you but I explained her comment because I felt like you misunderstood her and turned it around to be condescending.

If you get stagefright so bad you can't sing well, that makes you a poor singer because singing IS the job at hand. But that doesn't mean I don't feel for such a singer and if I find some proof they CAN deliver live under other circumstances resembling a stage performance ( say an obvious not utterly processed private or home taping or some such) I would say, yes, a good singer.<br /><br />The problem with Lana is that I just never heard her do the kind of singing which qualifies her as a "good" singer. But like I said, that is in itself not such a terrible thing, Only if "singer" is all you are and/or strive to be.<br /> But Lana is the kind of performer who writes her own music and consequently is more in the business of delivering her story/emotions than just singing. I personally am fine with such an artist but I DO get annoyed if people go around claiming that artist is a "good" singer. <br />and I especially get annoyed if they combine it with excusing the use of pitch correction. I feel it is an insult to those singers who ARE actually good singers and work at being good singers.Opie Everhttp://www.facebook.com/opie.evernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-68874105032169714322012-06-08T14:59:31.167+01:002012-06-08T14:59:31.167+01:00Opie, I was about to write exactly the same - live...Opie, I was about to write exactly the same - live performance is the final verification. But I hesitate. I wish it was so "black and white" (maybe it is). There's at least one artist I really like who suffered horrible stage fright. She couldn't cope with it so her performances were frequently interrupted by panic attacks in the middle of gigs. Later she tried to find relief in booze. You can easily imagine the effects. Her name is Cat Power (Chan Marshall).T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-75942618932911932852012-06-08T11:19:32.750+01:002012-06-08T11:19:32.750+01:00LOL Don't get all in a huff.

Not everyone's going to. She seems to polarize a lot of people. I guess I just have a hard time with people claiming she's a record label creation...But then again, she's had sooo many alter egos and stuff, it's actually kinda hilarious. <br /><br /><br />And as for her songwriting, I actually agree with you. There are a BUNCH of cliches in her writing (especially in "Born To Die"- the song) and it does get repetitive (like references to Coney Island and stuff) but something about her music is like I've never heard it before. I'm not saying she's some almighty innovator (and I'm only 18, so I've got tons of music to listen to) but I think her songs and lyrics are really personal to her and I really appreciate her sharing them to the world. Her music is also really nostalgic for me, for some reason. It all comes down to personal opinion, regardless.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-19456904794795644632012-06-08T10:02:11.422+01:002012-06-08T10:02:11.422+01:00She was giving an example of how a band that someo...She was giving an example of how a band that someone wouldn't expect to use autotune (Breaking Benjamin) uses it.

I said it seems as if it's easier for her to sing in small venues because she knows she's singing for people who really appreciate her and WANT to hear her. I NEVER said anything about nerves. And if you don't think factors like nerves come into how well a singer performs, you're an idiot. <br /><br /><br />And didn't you fucking read that I said I don't buy the term "studio singer" either??? <br /><br /><br />And by the way, I don't see these as "silly" excuses, it's simply the way it is. You think she's not a good singer; I do. I think that there are indeed factors that go into how well she performs live (every artist is different); you don't.
