[Vocal Profile] Patrick Stump

 
Patrick Stump

Vocal Type: High Lyric Tenor
Vocal Range:E2-C6 3 octaves and a minor sixth.
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Pluses: Lead singer and songwriter of Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump is an experienced vocalist. He has sung almost entirely in the pop punk idiom, but has also made the transition to RnB without difficulty on solo album Soul Punk. Though he has a light voice, due to his technique, his voice carries a piercing, ringing quality, most noticeable in the upper fourth and lower fifth octaves. He has also shown an interesting knack for melisma – unusual given his chosen genre.

Stump’s low range is the least-used area of his voice, and has a dark, distended quality [Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet]. He very infrequently descends lower than C3, but when he does, approaches the notes with solid support, and doesn’t have the breathy quality that so many tenors do when singing low.

The middle voice, starting around E3 ascending to E4-F4, is impressively malleable, being able to morph to whichever style he chooses to sing in [Compare Dance, Dance to This City], and he generally uses a strong, easy-sounding approach when he sings. Patrick Stump also has great capability for fast-moving, melismatic lines in the middle voice, best seen on the Fall Out Boy album Folie a Deux.

Michelle Williams Keeps Bringing The Goodness With "Believe In Me"

The only member of Destiny's Child that ever mattered has given us another slice of her uplifting pie! YAAS!!!!! *Begins involuntarily pulsating with the Holy Spirit*

Britney Spears Continues To Be My Hero After Fall

Britney Spears, you continue to inspire with your unflappable work ethic!

Watch, in a amazement, as the Diva lands badly on an ankle and still manages to give us improvised floor choreography- despite the pain. If you, Ms.Spears, can can carry on entertaining with a busted-up ankle and (what I assume) is still a dodgy knee, then I can go to work with a black eye! (Well, after I foundation the F**k out of it!)

"Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings."

[Watch] Patti LaBelle, Amber Riley And Lil Kim Join Forces On DWTS

We don't get Dancing With The Stars here in the UK. Or if we do, it's on some channel that I haven't got time for.

[New Music] Mariah Carey - "Infinity"

Oh.My.Lordt.

Mariah Carey's new song Infinity has landed as a lyric video!!! (So no excuses for not singing along!) Taken from her latest collection of number one singles, titled #1 To Infinity, could this nostalgia-heavy track end up being the Diva's 19th Billboard number one?

Take a listen and decide for yourself!

[Free For All Friday]

The moment you realize it's all going to crap and you can't do anything about it but enjoy the ride!

[Discuss] Worst. Performances. EVER.

Our divas aren't machines.

They may deliver us countless pitch perfect renditions that have us thinking otherwise. But the longer a Diva performs, the more chance a trip on stage or a dud vocal day will be caught on camera. It's the law of averages, or something 

Beyonce Comes For Haters With Tidal Exclusive "Killing My"!!! Also, Is Tidal DOA?

A new song from Beyonce has appeared on the (currently flatlining) streaming service, Tidal!

Killing My is reportedly one of the hundreds of tracks recorded by the Diva that were ultimately deemed unworthy for major release. And listening to it, I can kinda see why this diss track never made it past the finish line.

That's not to say there isn't the bones of  a good track within. After all, I love ratchet Bey as much anyone. It's just, as it is, I can't get over how ugly Bey's tone sounds. I know some of y'all are living for it, but to me it's jarring and at complete odds to the beautifully lyrical quality I expect from the Diva.

Miranda Lambert sings "Mama's Broken Heart" / "Little Red Wagon" Medley @ 2015 CMAs

I literally have one foot out the door, but I thought since I'd posted on Christina Aguilera's CMA performance, it would only be fair to let you watch Miranda Lambert's Mama's Broken Heart / Little Red Wagon medley, too.

Christina Aguilera Duets With Rascal Flatts @ 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards

If you're a fan of Christina Aguilera's heavier, darker timbre, you're going to love the Diva's performance at the 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
