Christina haters have soooooo much time on their hands. I love how when I go on to her videos there's somebody writing like fifty comments hating on her and trying to make her out to be inferior to some other female artist and it's usually somebody who's not as good a singer like Gaga, britney, etc. but yet, they want to make Christina out to be this horrible bitch by bringing up exaggerated drama from years ago when they are obviously just as mean-spirited as they make her out to be.
Got ranked #77 most viewed on youtube this week. out of the whole world, i thought that was something to be proud of. so im thanking you guys, All you amazing Xtina fans.. and The LEDGENDTINA herself. thankyou :) <3
@Aontiverozol Now you are contradicting yourself as you said earlier that she doesnt whisper and that it was my opinion. Seriously. Just stop. Your just embarrassing yourself.
@Aontiverozol Saying her voice is frail is not an opinion as she stated herself that she cant sing unless she ha splenty of rest. There are plenty of Vocalists that can sing excellently without as much rest as she needs. Her singing style is amateurish as it is not used in professional leagues of singing minus pop. A non amateurish style is one that utilizes complete mastery of said persons voice, along with being able to sing without causing self dmage. Unlike Mariah whos losing her voice.
MC has never said she can't sing unless she has plenty of rest, she said "TO SING THE WAY I DO, WITH THE HIGH REGISTER I NEED TO SLEEP AT LEAST 16 HOURS" which is completely understandable, as the vocal folds need to be baby fresh to reach those 7th octave notes.
And MC's voice has decline because of nodes she was BORN WITH not anything she did bad about her technique.
@BoobsTits01 She has never stated that she was born with Vocal Nodules. She merely stated that she had them from a young age. She does her best to sing with these nodules as she sings through her vocal chords, rather than with them, damage is inevitable with her condition.
Actually, Mariah's mom did say on a magazine interview that Mariah was indeed born with the vocal nodes, and it's perhaps one of the reasons why she was able to access the whistle register as her vocal folds are different than most people's. So that's Mariah's excuse for vocal decline. What's Xtina's excuse besides simply being too arrogant to learn how to sing without barking and going off pitch?
@BoobsTits01 Well thank you for the information about Mariahs vocal chords. However I won't be indulging anyone else in Aguilera talk. If you want to know my opinion on Christina's voice then just read the conversation earlier. Btw just in case you misunderstand my point, I like both artists, Mariah more vocally, and Christina more lyrically.
@Aontiverozol You see the fact that she whispers can be proven. I have sources. Listen to the song the one for example. Nothing but whispering. That is providing proof with my reasoning, unlike you who overuses emotional text and capital letters to attempt to appear like you know what your speaking of, rather than just get a life and move on. I thought that you were done as you said so and left. Then you come back and start shit again. You have no life. How about you get real, and get off.
@Aontiverozol is making you feel insecure which is why you spout nonsense thinking that its fact, when its your deluded opinion. If you like Mariah thats fine. I dont really care. But when you start making exaggerations, like she is all this shit then you become nothing more than an annoyance. She whispers, and her voice is weak. there is also minimal volume to her voice, and these factors, plus many more keep her from being able to sing opera. She had her time. But she cannot compare to many.
@Aontiverozol The fact that she whispers is fact as she does so many times just as Christina screams many times. An opinion is your saying that she is one of the greatest vocalists on the earth, which many people could disagree with. Her singing style is amateurish and her voice is frail. These are opinionated facts if we are talking about vocal ability rather than a persons musicianship. You clearly dont know the difference between fact and opinion. They are true and valid and your ignorance
@Aontiverozol Saying her voice is not powerful enough is not bs. Ive provided my reasons. Your completely ignoring them. Your not even bothering to strike them down as they are valid and you cant support your reasons even if you did. I never said Christina doesnt scream. That wasnt even what we were discussing so it does NOT provide any context. That last statement is an opinion. Bye bye now.
@MrFutureseer Xtina sings like an AMATEUR that doesnt really know what the hell theyre doing. Her voice is a MESS, Seek VOCAL LESSONS Sweetie. Beyonce/Mariah >>>> SCREAMTina Off-KeyLera :/
@Aontiverozol I am providing context as we can actual base a solid debate upon the Information that me and that other person are providing, unlike most of your opinions which are bland and very unsupported. Your really just a stan that wants to stick your nose in a place that it doesnt belong, and im not going to amuse you any longer, if you respond to my posts with that other person anymore, I won't respond, and they might not respond to you either. Goodbye no life.
@Aontiverozol Ok so OUR whole conversation the other day was about RECENT mariah. Not old Vocally beautiful Mariah. I never said she wasnt shitty lol. Im just saying she has her moments. Your still not providing any context. Nothing but annoyance.
@Aontiverozol Alright then. Finally some actual proof. She doesnt always scream. There are plenty of performances where she doesnt. The performance of I love you porgy had no true screaming albeit her belts at the end are melismic and poorly supported.
@Aontiverozol This isnt about her crappy singing. Its about how well she really CAN sing you fucking dumbass. Dont poke into other peoples conversations. That is nothing more than annoyance. Disperse.
@Aontiverozol Lol whatever you say. You seem to worship the ground she walks and talks about her voice as if its absolutely perfect and better than anyone elses voic ein the world. My stupidity? your the one who cant support your own opinions with factual knowledge.
@Aontiverozol It is an opinion if you blandly say it especially when it provides no context to an argument and does nothing more than spread lies, whereas a fact can be proven. Mariahs voice does not have perfect resonance. No ones voice has perfect resonance. No ones voice has anything absolutely perfect with it. Did I ever say mariah was a bad singer? no. Now your making up shit.
@Aontiverozol Am I talking to you? no Im not. Im supporting Christina in this argument because this argument is about HER not Mariah. Our argument whihc you apparently ended because your going to "embarrass" me is one where you claim mariah is the greatest singer ever, which she isnt. She is one of the farthest things from.
@Aontiverozol Did I ever say they werent? No I didnt. take your irelevant butt somewhere else. Because you are not providing any context to this argument. Only annoyance,
@Aontiverozol Your so full of shit with nothing but strictly opinion. She would be there with the greats like Callas? that is an opinion, not fact. Who am i to judge who can sing Opera? All you have to do is study a persons voice from past to present, with their habits, styles, and capabilities. Mariah has good resonance. Its not INHUMAN like you claim. That is utter bullshit. However her voice isnt full enough to handle the complexities of opera without suffering from intense rehabilitation.
@Aontiverozol How does utilizing Proper technique equate to being able to sing Opera? Proper technique is utlizing proper technique by common singing standards. Opera is having absolute perfect voice, resonance, pitch control, breath control, range, power, and usage of many singing styles and foreign language. These two terms do not go hand in hand idiot.
@Aontiverozol You seem to qorship teh ground of a pop star that really doesnt care about you at all. Mariah cannot sing Opera due to her nodules. Her voice isnt suited for it. More than humanly possible? your so full of shit. You probably dont even know what resonance is lol. Your full of Shitty opinion and no logical answers at all. I never said christinas voice wasnt deteriorating. However Mariahs has deteriorated more. Mariah needs to rest up so much between performances to sound decent.
@Aontiverozol Lol. How in hell is that a contradiction? Your just applying two different statements to two different people. Lol Do you even know what a contradiction is? Christina CAN use proper vocal technique. Because her voice is still full, unlike Mariah. Christina CHOOSES not to whereas Mariah also CHOOSES not to but also CANNOT minorly due to her nodules. Two different concepts for two different people. Mariahs voice is not full as it used to be and it tends to squeek between notes.
@Aontiverozol Lol Your back again? Someone clearly feels insecure about their fav. Anyways Mariahs voice isnt suited for Opera as Opera requires a full powerhouse voice which Mariah has lacked for many years now. I have no proof? all the proof is in her voice. You just have to listen to it to know. How do you think people critic voices? Lol. Demented you are. When did I contradict myself? you keep saying that but you show no proof. Your just spouting stan nonsense.
So why bother? She is a true inspiration for people who think they cant follow their dream! All the haters should just Be quiet! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!
I don't like this version of the song. The beauty of 'smile' is its simplicity, Christina exaggerates making almost every word take an eternity to sing.
@JayTj2 no i couldnt Disagree. im not just saying it because shes my idol.. But This Live.. honest, ive never had such goosebumps like that and it really touched the soul. You could feel all her emotion.. she was amazing :)
Honestly Christina Aguilera's voice is so technical that her vocal agility far surpasses even the strongest opera singers in the world. I mean seriously, if she sung "Queen of the Night', those 16th note runs and High F's would probably bore her silly because they would be so incredibly slow to her. There is not ONE professional opera singer alive today that can match her agility. It is because of her constant drive to take her voice as far as possible that she remains on top, even to this day.
@Aontiverozol Lol I just saw the notification you responded to that comment. sigh And im merely defending a great art form from your demeaning comment. Your still very wrong about Opera. Even with training, a weak voice is a weak voice. They don't use microphones. If your like Mariah and your vocals arent as powerful as the standards require then your not talented enough for it.
@Aontiverozol Your still making it appear that Lyrical singing is very difficult when in fact its not. However Opera is a very complex and prestigious singing art that most people in fact CANNOT perform. Almost anyone can sing lyrically. Albeit probably without melismas, but it is still possible.
@Aontiverozol Opera requires immensely powerful Vocals along with Mastery of foreign languages and innate Vocal ability along with Years of training. Even with training most voices cannot reach the power nor the range required for Opera and it is an art that can only be utilized by those born with the talent and training. Mariahs voice is too weak for Opera as her vocals are very airy and thin. Opera singers can sing lyrical stuff. Whats to say they can't. Is there some technique behind lyrical?
It's such a shame that still to this day CHRISTINA AGUILERA gets so much shit for what she does. NO OTHER artist out there have gotten shit for nothing like she is. When Britney went through her down phase people talked but jumped right on her wagon with her comeback! So sad that a talented young lady as Xtina has so many haters.
@papagrande808 Britney sucked before her mental breakdown, during her mental breakdown and after her mental breakdown. That Bitch can't sing!! Christina on the other hand, CAN sing. But honest, she looks like shit. Atleast brush your flippin hair.
@papagrande808 Well that's 'cause the media couldn't get enough from Britney. They wanted more more and more from her, and THEY STILL want it. Britney is a sweet, humble, person and hasn't changed since day one. And don't say she changed during her breakdown, she went through post partum depression because of many things. K-Fed, her family/family relationships, friends, had another kid straight after giving birth, managment trying to control her, etc ,etc. And Christina is a big bitchy diva lol
@Aontiverozol It isnt healthy nor smart. It damages your voice due to the fact that healthy vocal chord functions are only properly ustilized when your vocal chords are hydrated. Especially singing because there is always some amount of strain while singing. Therefor when they are dried out they are more likely to be damaged from vibration.Thats not like saying your vocal chords are being harmed by bbreathing because your not using them while breathing. Idiot. Disperse now.
@Aontiverozol Yet you have provided no correction to my argument and yours is becoming less and less valid with your mud slinging lol. Embarrass me? Your the one that can't even provide an argument without bashing on something else or using insults lol. Pathetic.
@Aontiverozol I repeat my point because you cant provide any new substance to this arguemnt. Why should I present a new argument when yours is being thrown at me again and again? My point is valid whereas yours is very opinionated. Your throwing the same argument so I will throw the same logical answer. Im only bringing up Opera due to your bashing of it. "almost everyone can sing it". I think not lol
@Aontiverozol There is a difference between airy vocals and whispering...lol. Airty vocals equates to weak vocals with an audible airflow passing along with it. Whispering equates to minimal chord function along with a large aairflow. your so stupid lol.
@MrFutureseer And I never said that you HAD to hold or think of Mariah's tone in a special light; if you (for whatever reason) find Mariah's voice unappealing, then that is your opinion/view to hold and not my problem. With that being said, Mariah's voice is unarguably more than just an "airy sound" --- I would encourage you to listen to and watch Mariah's performance of "If It's Over" at the 1991 Grammy Awards, but it would appear that your dislike for Mariah's voice is already concrete...
@ManOfBamboo I don't dislike her voice or singing at all actually. I very much like Mariah as an artist and a singer. But when discussing such subjective art forms there are many imperfections in such things as technique and it all ends with personal preference. I was merely stating that Although Mariah is in fact a good singer there are many flaws and imperfections in her singing. No singer is absolutely perfect anymore.
@MrFutureseer Well, that much is obvious. Mariah, like most vocalists that ever lived to sing in front of the world, possesses blatant vocal imperfections, but in terms of ability and skill, she is perhaps one of the most talented vocalists that ever lived. Flaws? Yes, Mariah's singing has them, but they aren't nearly as evident in Mariah's singing as they are in the singing of certain other "vocalists" from both this generation and every generation that came before it. :)
@ManOfBamboo I think the term Vocalist is actually thrown around so much that people don't truly know what it means anymore. I personally love some of todays singers- as they are able toconvey so much depth and soul in their music. However people mistake this for being a true vocalist. The termsinger, yes that can be applied to both Mariah and Christina as they are both excellent singers. For a singer,it is the imperfections that makes them so great. As for vocalists though, we demand perfection
@MrFutureseer Well, a vocalist by technical definition is merely 'a singer, typically one who regularly performs with a jazz or pop group'. So while the term if often falsely thrown around for people like "Katy Perry", I do not think that this is a situation where the word has been falsely used. I mean, Mariah IS a vocalist, and one of the greatest vocalists in the history of recorded music, too. Christina is a terrible singer with no noted technical experience as a singer whatsoever, but hey...
@ManOfBamboo What would you consider technical experience as a singer? also the term vocalist is applied mainly to professional singers who have been trained to use their voice as an instrument in the most proper ways. This doesn't truly apply to either artist but applies more to Mariah than Christina.
@MrFutureseer But Mariah could be and IS called a vocalist, correct? "Technical singing"? The basics, really --- the ability to healthily belt out a note from the chest region of the body instead of from the top of one's throat, the ability to control and resonate on a belted note with minimal to no strain, the ability to sustain a belted note without NEEDING to add excessive, pointless vocal runs that ruin a song's melody to hide the fact that you cannot actually just SUSTAIN the note... etc.
@ManOfBamboo Well the term style also has a play in this. Who's to say that Christina truly can't? Just because she doesn't choose to doesn't mean she is truly incapable of doing so. The term Habit also comes into question here as well. Christina has demonstrated healthy habits with her voice (whenever she is off stage or prepping she mostly always demonstrates proper vocal technique an example to show is her mtv video diaries when she warmed up with Alicia keys). Her style however harmful is
@MrFutureseer There is style, and then there is just blatant lacking of professionalism. We cannot (and should not attempt to) merely chalk a singer/vocalist's bad habits down to style. Screaming is not a singing style, it is an amateur habit that Christina has ALWAYS done and never dropped. Of course Christina is capable of singing properly, everybody is capable of that, but the initial point of my comments is that she chooses not, which has now resulted in her current vocal decline.
@ManOfBamboo I mean that Christina KNOWS how to sing properly. Thats what most people's point is that she doesnt know how. Yet she does. Im not making excuses for her. She is really just a pop star with a great voice, but bad habits. I actually like her singing. Its alright if you dont. But i dont critic a pop star to be professional as a vocalist. Christinas technique is bad, but not extremely terrible.
@MrFutureseer Well, neither you nor I actually KNOW that CHRISTINA knows how to sing properly. If Christina were aware of proper vocal technique, why did/DOES she not employ said singing technique into her singing during live and recent performances? Why has Christina's voice started to naturally deteriorate whilst she CONTINUES to refrain from using proper vocal technique if she 'truly knows what to do'? Why should she not be professional as a vocalist? Is Christina just arrogant and stubborn?
@ManOfBamboo Christinas own personal beliefs in talent and the voice as a singer is what causes her to use bad technique. She isnt very arrogant as she has never called herself anything amazing, she is generally humble and isnt really full of herself. Christina has taken vocal lessons early in her career but chose not to follow what she learned due to her natural habit of singing the way she does. She would rather employ her own way of singing rather than what someone tried to teach her.
@MrFutureseer Christina is actually known for her arrogance. Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Pink are just a FEW names on a long list of famous people that have claimed Christina's legitimate rudeness over the years. Christina can have her own personal beliefs in talent, but as long as those same beliefs are the reason for why she abuses what COULD be a great voice with such horrible technical vocal flaws (of which she has never corrected or sought professional help for), then her beliefs suck.
@ManOfBamboo Christina is usually actually made a bitch by the media. But there are plenty more sources that claim she is kind and sweet. Pink mainly didnt like Christina because of Ron Fair, not necesserily Christina. Mary j. Blige later got over her beef with Christina and asked her to perform at her benefit which she did. Mariah carey mainly doesnt like Christina due to her...uhh...issues at her party which Mariah was very kind about. /watch?v=7xjZCYq0AW0 this video pretty much sums up
@ManOfBamboo technically alot more than just screaming (which she truly hardly does but has done so) and is a great showy way to sing. Its her style. Its what made her stand out from the rest of pop during those Britney and Timberlake years. Her sound is a very bluesy way of singing. Im not saying that makes it okay for her to do (but hey its her voice). She isnt some trained opera singer (Like Mariah who was trained in Opera). She has some terrible habits, but this doesnt truly affect her art.
@MrFutureseer 2. Christina's "singing style" is primarily screaming, and to say that she hardly ever screams in her performances is complete and utter BS to me. Screaming is all that Christina has EVER done. It's her style? Well, it's also the reason she can no longer sing the way she used to. Mariah's vocal ability/health deteriorated due to alcohol abuse and the amazingly challenging vocal demands of her songs, Whitney's because of drug abuse and vocal nodules... what is Christina's excuse???
@ManOfBamboo Christinas voice is not truly as deteriorated as Whitney's but is more deteriorated as Mariahs. Christinas recent performance flaws could be due to many reasons minus vocal deterioration. I truly dont hear as much unnatural deterioration that wouldnt have been caused by age, alchohol, stress, or Childbirth. Her range has gotten smaller yes, but overall theres not too much difference in her voice. Christina truly does NOT scream often but does border it very often.
@MrFutureseer The point of my arguments is not to discuss HOW much Christina's voice has deteriorated, the point of my arguments is instead that her voice HAS deteriorated, and that in turn is due to the monstrosity of a vocal technique that she has used to sing over the years. Age? The woman is only just turning thirty-one-years-old; her voice should not be dying out this early. Christina truly DOES scream (and to deny that claim, you would have to prove that Christina belts healthily)...
@ManOfBamboo By her not screaming im judging more by the tone of her voice, while belting rather than the actual functioning of her vocal chords and larynx while doing so. She does tend to rise her larynx (much like Whitney) which may also contribute to her actual screams. What i consider a true scream is a shrill scratchy messy tone which although christina has demonstrated, does not tend to do so much. She actually tended to scream more in her younger years.
@MrFutureseer The tone of Christina's voice is scratchy and uneven. Christina merely shouts and yells at the top of her throat instead of creating any kind of belting power from the chest. A belt that does not possess control, power, resonance, and vibrato = a scream, no matter how good the sound of said belt may sound in your ears. Christina's lower register is the only region of her voice that does not sound forced and tensioned, and even in that voice register, Christina has had problems.
@ManOfBamboo Well I never stated that her range was perfect in any way, in fact its full of problems. Her tone doesnt tend to become scratchy until she begins to raise her belts which do tend to be unsupported. Her head voice also doesnt sound too tense until she tries to reach whistle range. Unless you are only discussing her Chest voice.
@MrFutureseer Christina's tone starts to sound forced, scratchy, and shrill on simple C5's these days... Christina's head voice, while not unpleasant in terms of sound, has no body to it... much like Celine Dion's head voice, Christina's head voice just sounds 'pretty' --- it doesn't really have any 'BODY' to it, unlike Barbra Streisand's, Patti LaBelle's, or Whitney Houston's...
@ManOfBamboo Mariahs began to die out at Christinas age. Mariahs whistles became less sharp and more airy. Also in the late 90's early 2000's quite a few of Mariahs performances were strained. Also mariah just recently gave birth to her child whereas Christina gave birth a few years ago, which contributes to the deepening of her tone and possible minimization of her range. Christinas belts are becoming more scratchy. Other than that i havent heard much deterioration. Rather i hear improvement.
@MrFutureseer Mariah's songs are more vocally challenging than that of perhaps any other singer/vocalist in popular music. Mariah's songs require intense control and range of the voice and she has had to deal with a lot more than Christina has vocally speaking. Also, Mariah's voice started to deteriorate in the late 90's due to personal problems in her life that resulted in her consuming a lot of alcohol. Mariah at least HAD periods of vocal brilliance and greatness, unlike Christina.
@MrFutureseer Also, Mariah regained her voice in the early 00's; that claim can be ascertained by watching Mariah's performance at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Christina is vocally improving you say? Sorry, but her performances on The Voice had made me lose all faith in the chances of that happening.
@ManOfBamboo By recently i mean very recently. When she was performing on the voice, she as well as Mariah, was intaking large amounts of alchohol due to many reasons especially public scrutiny.
@MrFutureseer And Christina's performance of the Star Spangled Banner at this year's Super Bowl event? Christina's intelligence and memory was not the only thing that was missing from that performance, healthy, tonally pleasant belts are what was missing too.
@ManOfBamboo I meant recent recently lol. That event was during this time of scrutinty. I aknowledge that she does tend to not sing well. But there are times when she sings very excellently. The performance I love you porgy was very well compared to her history of Vocal fails.
@ManOfBamboo Christinas style is primarily belting, using many melismas (albeit they dont always flow with the music) and usage of head voice/falsetto. In recent times she is belting more often and has a bad habit of rising her chest voice as high as it can go and leaving her comfort zone. She has only TRULY screamed a handful of times, but does border screaming very often. She generally does practice restraint when needed, but in her own performances she does whatever she wants. Hey its her
@MrFutureseer Please tell me that you are not one of those people that are of the belief that the only people that need to be professional vocalists are opera singers!!! "Pop star"? Those are key words here, actually... If you are going to be a pop star, you are going to need a healthy voice to support your INTERNATIONAL career (in which you will be performing and touring on a constant basis in your life) --- so if anything, Christina should be MORE than professional as a vocalist by now...
@ManOfBamboo Well no I dont believe so, But I do believe that there isn't such a high standard in Pop music. She is considered great compared to other Pop stars, especially current pop stars. I mean look at pop nowadays, there is hardly any true vocal talent. Christina has plenty, however her irrationality gets in the way of this, which is why she gets so much negative attention from people with higher standards (not that there is anything wrong with that) like people such as yourself.
@MrFutureseer Whitney was not a technically perfect singer/vocalist, but her vocal power and vibrato were still unmatched; Christina has never demonstrated any form of mastery over either of those two things. "What i consider a true scream is a shrill scratchy messy tone" --- and THAT is Christina's voice. Her tribute to James Brown at the 2007 Grammy Awards is what most of her fans consider to be her best performances and there was not even ONE healthily belted note in that performance...
@ManOfBamboo Well that performance itself had a true scream in it. Christinas belts tend to be scratchy but they are still ample and full. A true scream has terrible tone, scratchy as hell, and is very shrill. The james brown tribute had plenty of these.
@MrFutureseer There is indeed nothing wrong with Christina giving her fans what they want. However, there IS something wrong with Christina's fans putting her on a pedestal that she musically and vocally does not belong on. Christina's style is primarily belting and using many melismas: but as you so correctly put it, she overdoses on her additions of BOTH of those things most of the time. Christina has TRULY ALWAYS screamed when singing. "Christina knows vocal restraint." --- That's news to me.
@ManOfBamboo Christina knows vocal restraint when it is needed, rather than in any singing situation. When it is a performance where she is expected to sing the way that she became famous for, then she lets loose. Alot of Christinas fans actually dont place her on such a high pedestal. The only ones that do so are the raging stans that you see online. Alot of people I know that are fans just say, her voice is amazing, not her singing style. She is known more for her voice rather than technique.
@MrFutureseer If Christina knows vocal restraint, then why do we never hear that from her? There is "letting loose" Aretha Franklin style, and then there is letting loose amateur style. When Aretha vocally went all out in her performances, she never stopped belting with perfect accuracy, breath control, power, and resonance. When Christina lets loose, she just sounds bad and as though she has forgotten how to sing. If Christina really knows how to sing properly, then why wouldn't she do so?
@ManOfBamboo Because of the fact that she is not willing to do so. That is all. That is my point entirely, that she decides to do all of these things. There are a few performances where she practices restraint. During her back to basics era there were a few tributes she had performed where she held back. You cant truly expect perfection from her, because even with vocal training it is easy for your voice to fail you, which hers has alot. Because of the bad habits she had before hand.
@ManOfBamboo Also christina has never been trained proffessionally and was primarily a stage performer, not a vocalist. Many of her original singing (minus when all she was doing was singing) was strained due to choreography and stage presance. Stripped/back to basics and her first tours all had stage props and dancing. Mariah and whitney mainly sung, whereas Christina as a pop star used gimmicks to keep a show going. She should take it easy on her voice, but its not on the top of her list.
@MrFutureseer Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston were never trained professionally, and listen to them in their respective primes. No discomfort, strain, or tension in their belts whatsoever. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Christina. What about the songs that Christina just stood still to perform? Christina has never been a naturally dancer or mover, so we cannot (and should not attempt to) chalk Christina's technical vocal problems on movement, when the real problem is just HER.
@ManOfBamboo When you look more at her early years, she was a much more intense dancer (along with her live performances of burlesque) which can lead to lack of breathe support. Whitney Houston was in fact trained at a young age, however she also did not let this keep her from singing the way she wanted to (her high larynx condition). Your also forgetting that these vocal prodicgies were inspiration for christina, which would explain her want to be able to sing in their range, despite her lack
@MrFutureseer Whitney Houston had never had a formal vocal lesson before in her life, I mean sure, she was surrounded by a group of legendary female singers in her family, but Whitney never actually received professional lessons. If Christina WANTS to sing the way she does, then that is absolutely splendid, just don't attempt to tell me that Christina is a GOOD singer as long as she sings the way she does, because her live performances are proof of otherwise.
@ManOfBamboo of vocal ability. Im not saying this is an excuse, however this is a reason for her leaving her comfort zone too often. Whitney and Mariah set a new standard for singing with their melismas and belts, which shaped out a new form of singing for the newer generation. Barbra didnt have this,so she developed her own voice, her own way rather than mimicking said Divas. Christinas style is camparable to Whitneys very much so, however her technique doesnt compare which is why she strains.
@MrFutureseer If an Olympic level sprinter (such as Usain Bolt) wants to let loose in a one hundred metre race, then does he just start running in other competitors' lanes in the race like a barbarian with no discipline or professionalism, or does he maintain his technique and what he learnt from practice and training? No. There is giving something your all and then there is being unnecessarily sloppy, which would describe Christina's average vocal performance.
@ManOfBamboo Well although that is a professional field, it cant be compared to singing in the pop field. Pop supports anything that sounds pleasant to the ears to some large audience. These people are not always trained and are literally picked out for nothing more than agthering a large crowd (justin bieber, Rebecca Black, etc.)
@Aontiverozol Original christina at the top of my head = You lost me, aint no other man, hurt, the voice within, beautiful, and cant hold us down. Look it up yourself! lol even though I highly doubt your intelligent eenough to do that.
@Aontiverozol LOL If you truly think there is any similarity between the two you are so deluded. compare songs and images together. Prove that she copied. Can you do that? No you cant. many of gagas famous flicks have already been done by christina. If i have been silenced then you wouldnt keep coming back lol. You have no factual basis for many of your arguments and you spout out repetitive nonsense in an effort to make yourself sound educated even though you have no clue what your talkingabout
@Aontiverozol You were just stating many people can sing opera like its easy enough for Mariah to sing. Mariah has never performed Opera music so i was just assuring you knew that she is most liekly incapable of singing it. Many Opera singers can in fact sing Mariah songs as many opera Singers can utilize the Whistle range and sing in full voice unlike Mariah and can utilize much more complex vocal gymnastics than Mariah ever has.
@Aontiverozol is inspired by or if she is paying Homage to. Her not myself tonight music video was a tribute to Madonna and Christina even said so BEFORE the video was released. Yet almost all of Gagas work is a copy of Madonna and she never credits Madonna at all. Christina's last album was also the most illegally downloaded album of the year it was released. If Christina DID copy her then where is Gaga's I am? Her You lost me? Her All I need? her lift me up? lol.
@Aontiverozol Mariah has a song entirely made of whistles lol. Its called angel prelude. By musical critics and instructors. Christina has been plenty original. Her last album was nothing like Gaga lol have you even heard it? completely different sound and she had begin working on it right after back to basics, which was before Gaga had even gotten a record deal. Her image was also nothing like Gagas and she has always dressed odd. Gaga herself is a copycat. Christina always credits whomever she
@Aontiverozol Uhh why do you think people need to drink water regularly throughout the day? Why do you think the first sign of you being thirsty is the drying of your throat? seriously are you that uneducated? When did I say she doesnt whisper? ive stated that she does whisper. AND that her dysfunctional chords cause her voice to be breathy. She whispers ALOT in her current music. I even provided you examples.
To the two morons below, who are beaugarding the entire comment wall, Mariah Carey is not the one singing in the video above. Please take your futile argument to another video that cares.
@Aontiverozol Hell yeah it cant, because training wont make you sound like a gasping bird! lol. Mariah only uses her whistle to be connected? Have you heard her original stuff? Whistle register itself is considered the show off register of singing. There is very little creative direction with it besides placing. Many people cannot sing opera due to the standards that lie within it. Wich is why Mariah could never sing it. Her voice is too weak.
@Aontiverozol Christina does write most of her songs lol. She mainly cowrites. But her she always takes creative direction and works with her team. Mariah also mainly cowrites. But she has written entire songs herself.
@Aontiverozol if the oxygen around you is very humid then yes your chords can be hydrated/ If your in most common areas of the US plus a stage then your going to dehydrate without water.
@Aontiverozol where did I contradict myself? show me. Her airy sound is caused by her nodules AND her whispering. Listen to the one and boy I need you. COMPLETE whispering and nonstop exhaling.
@Aontiverozol LOL air mostly has water in it? You are very uneducated. Chords cant be hydrated by an air flow as the rush of air along with the vibration of the chords causes them to dehydrate. Thats like saying our skin and hair is never dry because of the atmosphere around us LOL. I started commenting about mariahs behavior due to your commenting about Christinas. hypocrite much?
@Aontiverozol Mariah is one of the greatest vocalists of pop which is a very overrated music genre. Actual VOCALISTS that demonstrate proper technique sing opera, which is a very well defined musical genre. Every note has a purpose? yeah lol the purpose being she triies to show off.
@Aontiverozol She stopped because it wasnt her way of singing lol. When has she said ANYTHING about vocal technique? Where are you getting all of this info about her personal life? lol. I never said she was my fav. LOL did you even read what I put? I favor mariah out of the two. But that oesnt give you the right to call one shitty because you think the other is better. Christina's not too bad a writer either. I actually prefer some of her soul songs over half of Mariahs.
@Aontiverozol Mariah has always whispered sinc ethe beginning. In her debut album many of the songs including vision of love had breathy vocals. They are just less noticeable due to her belting.
@Aontiverozol it isnt irrelevant as your providing the same argument as you were earlier lol. What im saying is actual FACTS about the vocal chords and how they function properly. Breathing isnt harmful as your vocal chords arent in use as you breathe. Plus most people tend to stay hydrated while BREATHING lol whereas singers chords are being dried out due to the actual act of singing.
@Aontiverozol being a vocalist doesnt put you on another level. It just puts you in a different profession league. as a Singer Christina is fine. As a vocalist mariah isnt perfect. Shes not terrible, but she is definately overrated. Whistle isnt even classified as singing to many people.
@Aontiverozol overuse IS improper lol. Her technique isnt good and you dont seem to get it. Christina never took lessons until she was already in the music industry. How is she being arrogant? for singing on a stage? Christina is always respectful and apreciates everything she has unlike Mariah who speaks as if she is better than others. Isnt that right Dahhhling? lol. Mariah isnt half the woman she used to be.
@Aontiverozol STILL BE HUSKY. She was pointing out they make her voice deep. My point being she doesnt "slay" anyone as her technique isnt very smart, nor is it healthy.
@Aontiverozol it does damage your voice as large amounts of air are being passed trhough them, drying them out while they are trying to perform harmful technique such as belting. Your chords need to remain moist while singing.
@Aontiverozol Did I ever say I admire Christina? No I havent. I admire mariah muuch more than CHristina. I respect Christina though as an artist. Not a vocalist. To be a vocalist you must use your voice AS an instrument, not make it sound like one. "else she sound like that"? Even when your trained in Opera you can still be a shitty singer. Its called singing pop music for a living lol. As you said its different for each person as to how nodules effect them. I dont have to repeat myself abouther
@Aontiverozol The same can be said about Mariah. Mariah (since about...2000?) has had her voice deteriorate due to her improper technique and over use of whistle regsiter. Christina definately has SOME technique otherwise after a decade her voice would be gone. Anyways Christina isnt even a vocalist.
@Aontiverozol Even with nodules one can belt and have vibrato idiot lol. As I said her Nodules only prohibit the closing o fher chords whihc produces her raspy deep voice. Her vocals are very amateurish as a professional vocalist (as such in opera) never whispers. Their voice is always ample and full. They have more training? Mariah was trained IN Opera from a very young age and had about the same amount of training as any singer. She has none because, its obvious lol. She is constantly gasping
@Aontiverozol Christina has some technique. Not great technique but shes got some pipes. Her technique is one that many bluey souls like Etta James, and many Gospel singers use. Its not essentially safe for your voice, but its a very emotional and soulful art. This does NOT make her a good vocalist. But it makes her an ok singer.
Yes she has gotten fat but her vocals are perfect and sung better then Michaels. What have we become?, looks over amazing talent!. Be ashamed.

@Aontiverozol Saying her voice is frail is not an opinion as she stated herself that she cant sing unless she ha splenty of rest. There are plenty of Vocalists that can sing excellently without as much rest as she needs. Her singing style is amateurish as it is not used in professional leagues of singing minus pop. A non amateurish style is one that utilizes complete mastery of said persons voice, along with being able to sing without causing self dmage. Unlike Mariah whos losing her voice.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer
MC has never said she can't sing unless she has plenty of rest, she said "TO SING THE WAY I DO, WITH THE HIGH REGISTER I NEED TO SLEEP AT LEAST 16 HOURS" which is completely understandable, as the vocal folds need to be baby fresh to reach those 7th octave notes.
And MC's voice has decline because of nodes she was BORN WITH not anything she did bad about her technique.
BoobsTits01 4 months ago
@BoobsTits01 She has never stated that she was born with Vocal Nodules. She merely stated that she had them from a young age. She does her best to sing with these nodules as she sings through her vocal chords, rather than with them, damage is inevitable with her condition.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer
Actually, Mariah's mom did say on a magazine interview that Mariah was indeed born with the vocal nodes, and it's perhaps one of the reasons why she was able to access the whistle register as her vocal folds are different than most people's. So that's Mariah's excuse for vocal decline. What's Xtina's excuse besides simply being too arrogant to learn how to sing without barking and going off pitch?
BoobsTits01 4 months ago
@BoobsTits01 Well thank you for the information about Mariahs vocal chords. However I won't be indulging anyone else in Aguilera talk. If you want to know my opinion on Christina's voice then just read the conversation earlier. Btw just in case you misunderstand my point, I like both artists, Mariah more vocally, and Christina more lyrically.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol You see the fact that she whispers can be proven. I have sources. Listen to the song the one for example. Nothing but whispering. That is providing proof with my reasoning, unlike you who overuses emotional text and capital letters to attempt to appear like you know what your speaking of, rather than just get a life and move on. I thought that you were done as you said so and left. Then you come back and start shit again. You have no life. How about you get real, and get off.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol is making you feel insecure which is why you spout nonsense thinking that its fact, when its your deluded opinion. If you like Mariah thats fine. I dont really care. But when you start making exaggerations, like she is all this shit then you become nothing more than an annoyance. She whispers, and her voice is weak. there is also minimal volume to her voice, and these factors, plus many more keep her from being able to sing opera. She had her time. But she cannot compare to many.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol The fact that she whispers is fact as she does so many times just as Christina screams many times. An opinion is your saying that she is one of the greatest vocalists on the earth, which many people could disagree with. Her singing style is amateurish and her voice is frail. These are opinionated facts if we are talking about vocal ability rather than a persons musicianship. You clearly dont know the difference between fact and opinion. They are true and valid and your ignorance

All you have to do is study a persons voice from past to present, with their habits, styles, and capabilities. Mariah has good resonance. Its not INHUMAN like you claim. That is utter bullshit. However her voice isnt full enough to handle the complexities of opera without suffering from intense rehabilitation.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol How does utilizing Proper technique equate to being able to sing Opera? Proper technique is utlizing proper technique by common singing standards. Opera is having absolute perfect voice, resonance, pitch control, breath control, range, power, and usage of many singing styles and foreign language. These two terms do not go hand in hand idiot.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol You seem to qorship teh ground of a pop star that really doesnt care about you at all. Mariah cannot sing Opera due to her nodules. Her voice isnt suited for it. More than humanly possible? your so full of shit. You probably dont even know what resonance is lol. Your full of Shitty opinion and no logical answers at all. I never said christinas voice wasnt deteriorating. However Mariahs has deteriorated more. Mariah needs to rest up so much between performances to sound decent.

@Aontiverozol Lol. How in hell is that a contradiction? Your just applying two different statements to two different people. Lol Do you even know what a contradiction is? Christina CAN use proper vocal technique. Because her voice is still full, unlike Mariah. Christina CHOOSES not to whereas Mariah also CHOOSES not to but also CANNOT minorly due to her nodules. Two different concepts for two different people. Mariahs voice is not full as it used to be and it tends to squeek between notes.

Honestly Christina Aguilera's voice is so technical that her vocal agility far surpasses even the strongest opera singers in the world. I mean seriously, if she sung "Queen of the Night', those 16th note runs and High F's would probably bore her silly because they would be so incredibly slow to her. There is not ONE professional opera singer alive today that can match her agility. It is because of her constant drive to take her voice as far as possible that she remains on top, even to this day.

MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol Your still making it appear that Lyrical singing is very difficult when in fact its not. However Opera is a very complex and prestigious singing art that most people in fact CANNOT perform. Almost anyone can sing lyrically. Albeit probably without melismas, but it is still possible.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@Aontiverozol Opera requires immensely powerful Vocals along with Mastery of foreign languages and innate Vocal ability along with Years of training. Even with training most voices cannot reach the power nor the range required for Opera and it is an art that can only be utilized by those born with the talent and training. Mariahs voice is too weak for Opera as her vocals are very airy and thin. Opera singers can sing lyrical stuff. Whats to say they can't. Is there some technique behind lyrical?

@Aontiverozol It isnt healthy nor smart. It damages your voice due to the fact that healthy vocal chord functions are only properly ustilized when your vocal chords are hydrated. Especially singing because there is always some amount of strain while singing. Therefor when they are dried out they are more likely to be damaged from vibration.Thats not like saying your vocal chords are being harmed by bbreathing because your not using them while breathing.

With that being said, Mariah's voice is unarguably more than just an "airy sound" --- I would encourage you to listen to and watch Mariah's performance of "If It's Over" at the 1991 Grammy Awards, but it would appear that your dislike for Mariah's voice is already concrete...
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo I don't dislike her voice or singing at all actually. I very much like Mariah as an artist and a singer. But when discussing such subjective art forms there are many imperfections in such things as technique and it all ends with personal preference. I was merely stating that Although Mariah is in fact a good singer there are many flaws and imperfections in her singing. No singer is absolutely perfect anymore.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Well, that much is obvious. Mariah, like most vocalists that ever lived to sing in front of the world, possesses blatant vocal imperfections, but in terms of ability and skill, she is perhaps one of the most talented vocalists that ever lived. Flaws? Yes, Mariah's singing has them, but they aren't nearly as evident in Mariah's singing as they are in the singing of certain other "vocalists" from both this generation and every generation that came before it. :)
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo I think the term Vocalist is actually thrown around so much that people don't truly know what it means anymore. I personally love some of todays singers- as they are able toconvey so much depth and soul in their music. However people mistake this for being a true vocalist. The termsinger, yes that can be applied to both Mariah and Christina as they are both excellent singers. For a singer,it is the imperfections that makes them so great. As for vocalists though, we demand perfection
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Well, a vocalist by technical definition is merely 'a singer, typically one who regularly performs with a jazz or pop group'. So while the term if often falsely thrown around for people like "Katy Perry", I do not think that this is a situation where the word has been falsely used. I mean, Mariah IS a vocalist, and one of the greatest vocalists in the history of recorded music, too. Christina is a terrible singer with no noted technical experience as a singer whatsoever, but hey...
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo What would you consider technical experience as a singer? also the term vocalist is applied mainly to professional singers who have been trained to use their voice as an instrument in the most proper ways. This doesn't truly apply to either artist but applies more to Mariah than Christina.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer But Mariah could be and IS called a vocalist, correct? "Technical singing"? The basics, really --- the ability to healthily belt out a note from the chest region of the body instead of from the top of one's throat, the ability to control and resonate on a belted note with minimal to no strain, the ability to sustain a belted note without NEEDING to add excessive, pointless vocal runs that ruin a song's melody to hide the fact that you cannot actually just SUSTAIN the note... etc.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Well the term style also has a play in this. Who's to say that Christina truly can't? Just because she doesn't choose to doesn't mean she is truly incapable of doing so. The term Habit also comes into question here as well. Christina has demonstrated healthy habits with her voice (whenever she is off stage or prepping she mostly always demonstrates proper vocal technique an example to show is her mtv video diaries when she warmed up with Alicia keys). Her style however harmful is
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer There is style, and then there is just blatant lacking of professionalism. We cannot (and should not attempt to) merely chalk a singer/vocalist's bad habits down to style. Screaming is not a singing style, it is an amateur habit that Christina has ALWAYS done and never dropped. Of course Christina is capable of singing properly, everybody is capable of that, but the initial point of my comments is that she chooses not, which has now resulted in her current vocal decline.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo I mean that Christina KNOWS how to sing properly. Thats what most people's point is that she doesnt know how. Yet she does. Im not making excuses for her. She is really just a pop star with a great voice, but bad habits. I actually like her singing. Its alright if you dont. But i dont critic a pop star to be professional as a vocalist. Christinas technique is bad, but not extremely terrible.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Well, neither you nor I actually KNOW that CHRISTINA knows how to sing properly. If Christina were aware of proper vocal technique, why did/DOES she not employ said singing technique into her singing during live and recent performances? Why has Christina's voice started to naturally deteriorate whilst she CONTINUES to refrain from using proper vocal technique if she 'truly knows what to do'? Why should she not be professional as a vocalist? Is Christina just arrogant and stubborn?
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Christinas own personal beliefs in talent and the voice as a singer is what causes her to use bad technique. She isnt very arrogant as she has never called herself anything amazing, she is generally humble and isnt really full of herself. Christina has taken vocal lessons early in her career but chose not to follow what she learned due to her natural habit of singing the way she does. She would rather employ her own way of singing rather than what someone tried to teach her.

@MrFutureseer Christina is actually known for her arrogance. Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Pink are just a FEW names on a long list of famous people that have claimed Christina's legitimate rudeness over the years. Christina can have her own personal beliefs in talent, but as long as those same beliefs are the reason for why she abuses what COULD be a great voice with such horrible technical vocal flaws (of which she has never corrected or sought professional help for), then her beliefs suck.

@ManOfBamboo Christina is usually actually made a bitch by the media. But there are plenty more sources that claim she is kind and sweet. Pink mainly didnt like Christina because of Ron Fair, not necesserily Christina. Mary j. Blige later got over her beef with Christina and asked her to perform at her benefit which she did. Mariah carey mainly doesnt like Christina due to her...uhh...issues at her party which Mariah was very kind about. /watch?v=7xjZCYq0AW0 this video pretty much sums up

@ManOfBamboo how Christina can be still considered a great artist by many even with her vocal flaws.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo technically alot more than just screaming (which she truly hardly does but has done so) and is a great showy way to sing. Its her style. Its what made her stand out from the rest of pop during those Britney and Timberlake years. Her sound is a very bluesy way of singing. Im not saying that makes it okay for her to do (but hey its her voice). She isnt some trained opera singer (Like Mariah who was trained in Opera). She has some terrible habits, but this doesnt truly affect her art.

@MrFutureseer 2. Christina's "singing style" is primarily screaming, and to say that she hardly ever screams in her performances is complete and utter BS to me. Screaming is all that Christina has EVER done. It's her style? Well, it's also the reason she can no longer sing the way she used to. Mariah's vocal ability/health deteriorated due to alcohol abuse and the amazingly challenging vocal demands of her songs, Whitney's because of drug abuse and vocal nodules... what is Christina's excuse???
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Christinas voice is not truly as deteriorated as Whitney's but is more deteriorated as Mariahs. Christinas recent performance flaws could be due to many reasons minus vocal deterioration. I truly dont hear as much unnatural deterioration that wouldnt have been caused by age, alchohol, stress, or Childbirth. Her range has gotten smaller yes, but overall theres not too much difference in her voice. Christina truly does NOT scream often but does border it very often.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer The point of my arguments is not to discuss HOW much Christina's voice has deteriorated, the point of my arguments is instead that her voice HAS deteriorated, and that in turn is due to the monstrosity of a vocal technique that she has used to sing over the years. Age? The woman is only just turning thirty-one-years-old; her voice should not be dying out this early. Christina truly DOES scream (and to deny that claim, you would have to prove that Christina belts healthily)...
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo By her not screaming im judging more by the tone of her voice, while belting rather than the actual functioning of her vocal chords and larynx while doing so. She does tend to rise her larynx (much like Whitney) which may also contribute to her actual screams. What i consider a true scream is a shrill scratchy messy tone which although christina has demonstrated, does not tend to do so much. She actually tended to scream more in her younger years.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer The tone of Christina's voice is scratchy and uneven. Christina merely shouts and yells at the top of her throat instead of creating any kind of belting power from the chest. A belt that does not possess control, power, resonance, and vibrato = a scream, no matter how good the sound of said belt may sound in your ears. Christina's lower register is the only region of her voice that does not sound forced and tensioned, and even in that voice register, Christina has had problems.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Well I never stated that her range was perfect in any way, in fact its full of problems. Her tone doesnt tend to become scratchy until she begins to raise her belts which do tend to be unsupported. Her head voice also doesnt sound too tense until she tries to reach whistle range. Unless you are only discussing her Chest voice.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Christina's tone starts to sound forced, scratchy, and shrill on simple C5's these days... Christina's head voice, while not unpleasant in terms of sound, has no body to it... much like Celine Dion's head voice, Christina's head voice just sounds 'pretty' --- it doesn't really have any 'BODY' to it, unlike Barbra Streisand's, Patti LaBelle's, or Whitney Houston's...

@ManOfBamboo Mariahs began to die out at Christinas age. Mariahs whistles became less sharp and more airy. Also in the late 90's early 2000's quite a few of Mariahs performances were strained. Also mariah just recently gave birth to her child whereas Christina gave birth a few years ago, which contributes to the deepening of her tone and possible minimization of her range. Christinas belts are becoming more scratchy. Other than that i havent heard much deterioration. Rather i hear improvement.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Mariah's songs are more vocally challenging than that of perhaps any other singer/vocalist in popular music. Mariah's songs require intense control and range of the voice and she has had to deal with a lot more than Christina has vocally speaking. Also, Mariah's voice started to deteriorate in the late 90's due to personal problems in her life that resulted in her consuming a lot of alcohol. Mariah at least HAD periods of vocal brilliance and greatness, unlike Christina.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Also, Mariah regained her voice in the early 00's; that claim can be ascertained by watching Mariah's performance at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Christina is vocally improving you say? Sorry, but her performances on The Voice had made me lose all faith in the chances of that happening.

@ManOfBamboo By recently i mean very recently. When she was performing on the voice, she as well as Mariah, was intaking large amounts of alchohol due to many reasons especially public scrutiny.

@ManOfBamboo I meant recent recently lol. That event was during this time of scrutinty. I aknowledge that she does tend to not sing well. But there are times when she sings very excellently. The performance I love you porgy was very well compared to her history of Vocal fails.

@ManOfBamboo in her head voice, and other registers.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Christinas style is primarily belting, using many melismas (albeit they dont always flow with the music) and usage of head voice/falsetto. In recent times she is belting more often and has a bad habit of rising her chest voice as high as it can go and leaving her comfort zone. She has only TRULY screamed a handful of times, but does border screaming very often. She generally does practice restraint when needed, but in her own performances she does whatever she wants. Hey its her
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Please tell me that you are not one of those people that are of the belief that the only people that need to be professional vocalists are opera singers!!! "Pop star"? Those are key words here, actually... If you are going to be a pop star, you are going to need a healthy voice to support your INTERNATIONAL career (in which you will be performing and touring on a constant basis in your life) --- so if anything, Christina should be MORE than professional as a vocalist by now...
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Well no I dont believe so, But I do believe that there isn't such a high standard in Pop music. She is considered great compared to other Pop stars, especially current pop stars. I mean look at pop nowadays, there is hardly any true vocal talent. Christina has plenty, however her irrationality gets in the way of this, which is why she gets so much negative attention from people with higher standards (not that there is anything wrong with that) like people such as yourself.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Whitney was not a technically perfect singer/vocalist, but her vocal power and vibrato were still unmatched; Christina has never demonstrated any form of mastery over either of those two things. "What i consider a true scream is a shrill scratchy messy tone" --- and THAT is Christina's voice. Her tribute to James Brown at the 2007 Grammy Awards is what most of her fans consider to be her best performances and there was not even ONE healthily belted note in that performance...
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Well that performance itself had a true scream in it. Christinas belts tend to be scratchy but they are still ample and full. A true scream has terrible tone, scratchy as hell, and is very shrill. The james brown tribute had plenty of these.

@ManOfBamboo show and people see her to hear the way she sings. She is giving her fans what they want. Theres nothing wrong with that.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer There is indeed nothing wrong with Christina giving her fans what they want. However, there IS something wrong with Christina's fans putting her on a pedestal that she musically and vocally does not belong on. Christina's style is primarily belting and using many melismas: but as you so correctly put it, she overdoses on her additions of BOTH of those things most of the time. Christina has TRULY ALWAYS screamed when singing. "Christina knows vocal restraint." --- That's news to me.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Christina knows vocal restraint when it is needed, rather than in any singing situation. When it is a performance where she is expected to sing the way that she became famous for, then she lets loose. Alot of Christinas fans actually dont place her on such a high pedestal. The only ones that do so are the raging stans that you see online. Alot of people I know that are fans just say, her voice is amazing, not her singing style. She is known more for her voice rather than technique.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer If Christina knows vocal restraint, then why do we never hear that from her? There is "letting loose" Aretha Franklin style, and then there is letting loose amateur style. When Aretha vocally went all out in her performances, she never stopped belting with perfect accuracy, breath control, power, and resonance. When Christina lets loose, she just sounds bad and as though she has forgotten how to sing. If Christina really knows how to sing properly, then why wouldn't she do so?
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Because of the fact that she is not willing to do so. That is all. That is my point entirely, that she decides to do all of these things. There are a few performances where she practices restraint. During her back to basics era there were a few tributes she had performed where she held back. You cant truly expect perfection from her, because even with vocal training it is easy for your voice to fail you, which hers has alot. Because of the bad habits she had before hand.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Also christina has never been trained proffessionally and was primarily a stage performer, not a vocalist. Many of her original singing (minus when all she was doing was singing) was strained due to choreography and stage presance. Stripped/back to basics and her first tours all had stage props and dancing. Mariah and whitney mainly sung, whereas Christina as a pop star used gimmicks to keep a show going. She should take it easy on her voice, but its not on the top of her list.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston were never trained professionally, and listen to them in their respective primes. No discomfort, strain, or tension in their belts whatsoever. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Christina. What about the songs that Christina just stood still to perform? Christina has never been a naturally dancer or mover, so we cannot (and should not attempt to) chalk Christina's technical vocal problems on movement, when the real problem is just HER.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo When you look more at her early years, she was a much more intense dancer (along with her live performances of burlesque) which can lead to lack of breathe support. Whitney Houston was in fact trained at a young age, however she also did not let this keep her from singing the way she wanted to (her high larynx condition). Your also forgetting that these vocal prodicgies were inspiration for christina, which would explain her want to be able to sing in their range, despite her lack
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer Whitney Houston had never had a formal vocal lesson before in her life, I mean sure, she was surrounded by a group of legendary female singers in her family, but Whitney never actually received professional lessons. If Christina WANTS to sing the way she does, then that is absolutely splendid, just don't attempt to tell me that Christina is a GOOD singer as long as she sings the way she does, because her live performances are proof of otherwise.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo of vocal ability. Im not saying this is an excuse, however this is a reason for her leaving her comfort zone too often. Whitney and Mariah set a new standard for singing with their melismas and belts, which shaped out a new form of singing for the newer generation. Barbra didnt have this,so she developed her own voice, her own way rather than mimicking said Divas. Christinas style is camparable to Whitneys very much so, however her technique doesnt compare which is why she strains.
MrFutureseer 4 months ago
@MrFutureseer If an Olympic level sprinter (such as Usain Bolt) wants to let loose in a one hundred metre race, then does he just start running in other competitors' lanes in the race like a barbarian with no discipline or professionalism, or does he maintain his technique and what he learnt from practice and training? No. There is giving something your all and then there is being unnecessarily sloppy, which would describe Christina's average vocal performance.
ManOfBamboo 4 months ago
@ManOfBamboo Well although that is a professional field, it cant be compared to singing in the pop field. Pop supports anything that sounds pleasant to the ears to some large audience. These people are not always trained and are literally picked out for nothing more than agthering a large crowd (justin bieber, Rebecca Black, etc.)

@Aontiverozol You were just stating many people can sing opera like its easy enough for Mariah to sing. Mariah has never performed Opera music so i was just assuring you knew that she is most liekly incapable of singing it. Many Opera singers can in fact sing Mariah songs as many opera Singers can utilize the Whistle range and sing in full voice unlike Mariah and can utilize much more complex vocal gymnastics than Mariah ever has.

@Aontiverozol is inspired by or if she is paying Homage to. Her not myself tonight music video was a tribute to Madonna and Christina even said so BEFORE the video was released. Yet almost all of Gagas work is a copy of Madonna and she never credits Madonna at all. Christina's last album was also the most illegally downloaded album of the year it was released. If Christina DID copy her then where is Gaga's I am? Her You lost me? Her All I need? her lift me up? lol.

@Aontiverozol Mariah has a song entirely made of whistles lol. Its called angel prelude. By musical critics and instructors. Christina has been plenty original. Her last album was nothing like Gaga lol have you even heard it? completely different sound and she had begin working on it right after back to basics, which was before Gaga had even gotten a record deal. Her image was also nothing like Gagas and she has always dressed odd. Gaga herself is a copycat. Christina always credits whomever she

@Aontiverozol Hell yeah it cant, because training wont make you sound like a gasping bird! lol. Mariah only uses her whistle to be connected? Have you heard her original stuff? Whistle register itself is considered the show off register of singing. There is very little creative direction with it besides placing. Many people cannot sing opera due to the standards that lie within it. Wich is why Mariah could never sing it. Her voice is too weak.

@Aontiverozol She stopped because it wasnt her way of singing lol. When has she said ANYTHING about vocal technique? Where are you getting all of this info about her personal life? lol. I never said she was my fav. LOL did you even read what I put? I favor mariah out of the two. But that oesnt give you the right to call one shitty because you think the other is better. Christina's not too bad a writer either. I actually prefer some of her soul songs over half of Mariahs.

@Aontiverozol it isnt irrelevant as your providing the same argument as you were earlier lol. What im saying is actual FACTS about the vocal chords and how they function properly.

@Aontiverozol overuse IS improper lol. Her technique isnt good and you dont seem to get it. Christina never took lessons until she was already in the music industry.

Isnt that right Dahhhling? lol. Mariah isnt half the woman she used to be.

@Aontiverozol Did I ever say I admire Christina? No I havent. I admire mariah muuch more than CHristina. I respect Christina though as an artist. Not a vocalist. To be a vocalist you must use your voice AS an instrument, not make it sound like one. "else she sound like that"? Even when your trained in Opera you can still be a shitty singer. Its called singing pop music for a living lol. As you said its different for each person as to how nodules effect them. I dont have to repeat myself abouther

@Aontiverozol The same can be said about Mariah. Mariah (since about...2000?) has had her voice deteriorate due to her improper technique and over use of whistle regsiter.

Mariah was trained IN Opera from a very young age and had about the same amount of training as any singer. She has none because, its obvious lol. She is constantly gasping

@Aontiverozol Christina has some technique. Not great technique but shes got some pipes. Her technique is one that many bluey souls like Etta James, and many Gospel singers use. Its not essentially safe for your voice, but its a very emotional and soulful art. This does NOT make her a good vocalist. But it makes her an ok singer.
