Faithfully (Highest Version) - Regine Velasquez & Mark Bautista

[HaveownStyle]

Oh this was absolutely terrible. Go and watch glee rachell and finn performance of that song.

[estacioc]

@HaveownStyle what are you talking about? No offense, but don't compare Lea to this Philippines legend. Regine is in her 40's and sings effortlessly and beautifully. Lea is a good singer no doubt but her voice is more common. In a competition, Lea wouldn't win (i.e. american idol what not) because her voice is for the general masses. nothing too special to make her a "diva". I mean even the black girl sings better than Lea.

[estacioc]

@HaveownStyle and if I may add, Regine has been singing LIVE for over 25 years and her voice hasn't deteriorated. If Lea can sing half as great as Regine 25 years later, than I'll salute her. And Lea doesn't sing Faithfully live as good as her CD rendition. She breaks a lot and isn't fluid in her transitions to higher notes. Regine only did this song ONCE without rehearsal and it was fantastic.

[HaveownStyle]

@estacioc Sorry regine might give her lifetime to sing. I didn't say anything about that. Do you see a common i did about that? My opinion does still the same. Lea sings better than regine this song. I love regine's voice but what i said is not about that okey ?

[pinoyidol2006]

First of all, Lea Michele's faithfully was NOT in falsetto.

Secondly, why can't both Regine and Lea have to be compared? They are both fantastic, IMO.

[j0rts132]

REGINE SHOULD'VE INCLUDED FAITHFULLY IN HER ALBUM

[winget22]

Ang maganda ke regine my feelings kapag kumanta....

[eyestrained07]

oh please, don't mention Lea Michele in this video. She's not worthy to lick Regine's feet. Lea's A5 is practically 100% falsetto!

[10smirya]

@eyestrained07 I'm sorry, but where in this video does Regine hit an A5?

[eyestrained07]

@10smirya Regine doesn't hit an a5 here, but she has other videos where she hits a5 with ease and power. Just search "Regine Velasquez A5" or "Regine Velasquez High Notes" and you'll get your fill of Regine's belted A5. The reason why I'm not impressed with Lea Michele's A5 is that her A5 is practically all falsetto and lacks power. Not to mention that Lea's belts lack resonance. Even our local gay impersonators can easily hit A5 singing Faithfully using falsetto.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

Lea Michele's A5 is not falsetto.... and you can watch Walking on Sunshine for a sustained A5 belt

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf ROFL. Lea's A5's are so false. We have so many gay impersonators who sound like her. Nothing impressive.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf and yes I've seen her so called "live" Walking on Sunshine perforamnce. So false.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf haha the gay guy in this video watch?v=snHN7Z7aBD8 is even loads better than Lea Michelle. Don't even bothering comparing Lea to the girl in that video 'coz she'd obliterate Lea in a heartbeat. And these two are not even serious in that vid. They're just mucking around. Seriously, Lea M. is so overrated it's not funny at all.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf her Walking On Sunshine A5 is not just falsetto, but worse, it's LIPPED !

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07 I'm pretty amazed you felt so vehemently you had to reply 4 times.

1) You didn't deny that Lea Michele is not using falsetto to hit A5.

2) I think it's pretty damaging to the voice to repeatedly hit A5s night after night when you're on tour throughout the US and beyond so I think lipping is forgivable. She sung it live once or twice, that seams to prove she can do it.

3) It's different hitting G5, and then A5, and then G5 again. It's much easier to just hit an A5 straight up.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

I'm trying not to sound offensive here, because I do think Regine has a nice voice and I'm not bashing anyone, but just curious, are you one of those ppl who think that Filipino singers are among the best in the world and the rest of the singers are just overrated? Cos I've seen quite a few of those, and if that's the case, let's just agree to disagree cos I don't think there's much mileage in discussing the issue any further.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf read my replies again, I clearly stated that LEa Michele's A5 is falsetto. When I use the term FALSE, it clearly means FALSETTO. Because FALSETTO in Italian actually means FALSE VOICE. haha. You are clearly ignorant about voice being a musical instrument. No wonder you are a fan of Lea Michele.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) But her A5 isn't falsetto, it's obviously chest voice. You can criticise it for being not as powerful as Regine, but it plainly is chest voice. I have a diploma in music, so I think that counts for something.

2) I'm not a Lea Michele fan. And besides, if Lea Michele were Filipino, you'd be less of an asshole to her.

3) I think lipping is okay in doses, I'd prefer live but I'd rather they not damage their voice. Regine is more consistent, I accept that. But at the end of the day

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont)

at the end of the day, a) this isn't the highest version. b) the run that Michele does is more difficult than simply hitting the note c) Michele's A5 is not falsetto. You're clearly someone who simply idolises Regine and there's nothing wrong with that. she has a great voice. Just stop acting like a dickhead music critic when you're obviously not one. Critics always give balanced assessments rather than screeching out ranting speeches on Youtube.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf ROFL. Keep convincing yourself that Michele's A5 is chest voice and not falsetto and maybe someday Santa will become a real person. And again, the worst part about Michele's A5 is not that it's falsetto, but hers is always recorded and lipped! What a joke.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf Michele's runs are a walk in the park for Regine. haha.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf and at the end of the day, that's probably most would consider it a joke that Lea has the "highest" version of any song seeing that she can't hit her high notes LIVE.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

a) She hit them live a couple of times. But yes, Regine hits them more often. Regine is more consistent. I already said I like Lea Michele but not a huge fan. I accept that Regine is a better live performer.

b) It's pretty self-defeating to assert that Michele's runs are a walk in the park for Regine seeing as that she avoided them here. Clearly Regine was not ignorant that such a vocal existed and chose not to sing it.

c) Michele's A5 is chest. Period. Stop being an idiot.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf you still believe that Lea's A5 is chest voice and that she performs them live? so did Santa drop by your house this evening?

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

Stop being an idiot. Admitting that Michele's A5 was chest voice will not make Regine any less great a singer, nor does it mean that Lea Michele is a better singer than Regine. It just means that Lea Michele hit the note. Which she did. End of story.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

Btw, I don't even know where this whole barrage of bullshit came from, since my original post was simply a purely factual statement that Michele's A5 belt was chest. Suddenly I've become a Lea Michele fan who's ignorant of the "voice as a music instrument." Suddenly I'm made to sound like I think Lea Michele is a better singer than Regine. Why don't YOU read my replies instead.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf you're the one who's using the words "bullshit" and "idiot' in your replies, so clearly I'm not the one ranting here.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) That was after you became a prick and started saying I was "ignorant" because I didn't worship Regine.

2) Using the word bullshit & idiot does not mean I'm ranting, it just means I'm annoyed. If you post rubbish and I replied with a single word "bullshit" that hardly makes it ranting.

3) Srsly? You're accusing me of ranting? My original post was a 1-liner saying that Lea Michele's A5 was chest voice and suddenly I had 4 post replies, most of them being strawman attacks.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf your claims of Lea Michele using chest voice in A5 and her performing them live merits your "ignorant" status.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

You cannot have your cake and eat it too, you know. If Lea Michele's A5 really was just falsetto then she could have easily hit them live since it is not as demanding as hitting it in chest voice. BUT, as you said YOURSELF, she failed to do it live. You seem to be conceding that her A5 WAS CHEST VOICE unless you're saying she can't hit an A5 in falsetto live which is totally ridiculous since anyone can do that. Deal with this point.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf You already said yourself that Lea M. is inconsistent. She also has one of the worst breathing techniques I've heard. I wouldn't be surprised if she can't hit A5 consistently even in falsetto. No wonder she chooses to lip.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) 4 replies because I didn't "get it"? You were replying to my original post, you idiot, I didn't even reply yet. How would you have known I would've gotten it or not?

2) This is one of the worst comebacks I've ever seen. Any average woman can hit an A5 in falsetto live. So Lea Michele is a worse singer than the average woman even tho she has been vocally trained? Your argument has clearly imploded if you have to make such ridiculous statements to support your conclusion.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf a sustained A5 in falsetto requires some pretty good breath control (as falsetto requires alot of AIR) which Lea Michele clearly doesn't have.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

The A5 in this song is like less than 1 sec long - in what universe is that sustained?!

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf In Walking On SUshine it's sustained

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf as for this song in Faithfully, seeing as the GLee arrangement calls for throwing in several high notes, she is at risk of going flat in hitting that A5 even in falsetto for a second. Again, probably another reason why she has to lip.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

Your argument is again self-defeating. Why is she at risk of "going flat"? You stated that it is because the arrangement "calls for the throwing in several high notes" i.e. Lea Michele is going flat because she cannot reach the A5, hence she has to lip. But why on earth will she be unable to reach A5 if it's in FALSETTO and not CHEST VOICE? Even I can reach A5 in falsetto and my vocal range is bass. Furthermore the A5 here is NOT sustained so all that rubbish u wrote doesn't apply

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf because a mediocre singer like Lea M. can easily go flat when hitting subsequent high notes whether in shifting registers (chest to head/false or consistent false) . It's no surprise Glee producers of their live shows make her lipsynch. They know her limits.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

You're just attacking her without engaging with the argument. WHY does she "easily go flat" if not for the fact that she cannot reach the supposed "subsequent high notes"? Doesn't the fact that she cannot reach them live imply that they are NOT falsetto but CHEST VOICE notes? Unless, of course, you're saying that Lea Michele is tone-deaf, which is a pretty ridiculous statement, even for you.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf nope, never said she was tone deaf. But she does have poor technique when it comes to high notes. That's why it's not surprising she lipsynchs her high note arrangements, whether they're a combined of mixed register and falsetto or sustained high note falsetto tacked on at the end. Her poor technique results in her inconsistency making the lipsynch option for her very attractive.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

Ok, but:

1) Mixed register =/= falsetto. This is not in the discussion since you very emphatically told me that her A5s were clearly falsetto.

2) Poor technique when it comes to high notes seems to be only a problem when it's in Chest Voice. Honestly when did u ever hear of anyone lipping a falsetto note live? A5 is not even a high note if sung in falsetto, but it is a high note when done in chest voice.

3) Stop saying "sustained high note falsetto".This is Faithfully, the A5 is less than 1 sec

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf ROFL. Where did I say that Mixed Register = falsetto? Read my reply again. It was pertaining to shifting in registers when trying to attack subsequent (not sustained) high notes. And no, poor technique doesn't only affect singing chest register singing. And what the? A high note is not a high note when done in falsetto? omg. You're even more ignorant than I thought.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) You said "combined of mixed register and falsetto". I was pointing out that mixed register =/= falsetto, hence "combined of mixed register and falsetto" =/= falsetto. It wasn't clear from the phrase you meant shifting in registers, but ok, now that we've cleared that up, let's move on.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

P.S. MIxed register is falsetto/head voice mixed with chest voice. There isn't such thing as something being "combined of mixed register and falsetto"; mixed register is already mixed. I thought you should know that since you know so much about the "voice as a music instrument" and I am so ignorant. Right now, you're simply trying to fudge what falsetto entails and expanding what can be considered as a falsetto note.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf ROFL. you clearly don't get it. When I say combined of mixed register and falsetto, it means a singer can SHIFT in registers while singing one song to get through a high note arangement. A singer can hit F5 in mixed then shift to falsetto when jumping to a G#5 if need be since her chest register can't hack it or if the arrangement calls for it.  Gets?!

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) Dude I've gotten it already. It wasn't clear from your original comment since you nowhere did you mention "SHIFT in registers" so I didn't understand what you meant. In my previous comment, I simply told you what I understood it as originally. That's all.

2) U're misrepresenting me. I'm saying that A5s are not difficult to sing in falsetto. Hence a falsetto A5 is not really that "high" since it is easier to reach. The same cannot be said for chest voice notes.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

But there you go. A singer switches to falsetto if her "chest register can't hack it", which means that A5 is easier to reach in falsetto than in chest voice. This concedes what I've been saying all along, which is that it is NOT THAT DIFFICULT to hit A5 in FALSETTO live. Thus far, you've been treating A5 as some extremely difficult high note to reach in falsetto which is plainly NOT the case.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf but for those with poor technique in managing high notes like Lea M, even shifting to falsetto poses risk in going or hitting it flat. Her poor breathing technique being a major cause of that. That's why she has to lipsynch.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) You've not satisfactorily explained how poor breathing technique is a major cause for Lea M. not being able to REACH A5 in falsetto. The only thing you've said thus far was of sustaining A5 falsetto notes, which is not of relevance here.

2) Lea M. may not have the best voice in the world but she has quite good breathing technique. She sustained a 10 second long belt in Don't Rain on My Parade, that seems to exhibit more demanding breath control than simply shifting to an A5

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf Don't Rain on My Parade ends at D5. And yes, as early as that note, her voice is already very tight and her breathing in that performance poorly budgeted . She expels way too much air which you can hear between her phrases. Really loud breathing. And no her F5's are not comfortable. They are tight and while chest dominant, doesn't exhibit much power which is due to her poor breathing technique. 

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) If her voice is already very "tight", then she wouldn't be able to sustain it for 10 sec; her voice would have cracked 1 sec after she hit the note. And there's a good vibrato to the note which indicates that it is not "tight". And you do not need brilliant breathing technique to hit a falsetto A5.

2) Oh pls. "Really loud breathing"? THAT'S your understanding of poor breathing technique? Gimme a break. I can show you opera singers who "breathe loud" but have great technique.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf Do you hear Pavarotti, Callas, Sutherland sucking in and exhaling between their phrases? No way. Opera singers are required to sing CLEAN and alot of that is owed to breathing and good phrasing. And yes, Lea M was already very tight at D5 and her phrasing of DROMP was choppy as well. Again, due to her bad breathing technique. & u still need good technique to hit a clean and strong A5 falsetto if you're shifting from another high note.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) You're drifting from the topic. Yes, I don't deny singing cleanly are marks of good breathing technique and control, but that has more to do with the phrasing of a melody line rather than hitting the note. Lea M. may have difficulties in phrasing longer melody lines but that's a separate issue. We're discussing her ability to breathe correctly in order to support her singing high notes and she does it correctly by singing from her diaphragm and not her throat.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

2) You keep dodging the issue. You keep saying that she has bad breathing technique and is "tight" during Don't Rain on My Parade. But the fact remains, she held and sustained a note for 10 secs. It may only be moderately high, but this demonstrates that she has sufficiently good breathing technique to sing in falsetto. You keep saying that her voice was tight from the start but if that was true, her voice would crack immediately and she would be unable to hold the note.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf the long D5 note was tight and constricted (hardly any resonance). She may not have crakced but it was still a poor execution of the note. For a good version of that long DROMP note, I look to Barbra's sped-up version (altho Babs might not have held it as long as 10secs), Linda Eder's and Regine's. Lea M's execution do not come close to those three ladies.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) If you're referring to her Tony's performance, that was a bad performance, look at her other ones. There was clear vibrato.

2) You're drifting again. I'm not even saying that Lea M.'s DROMP was the best - I have no problem saying Lea M. is not as good as Barbra yet. BUT Lea M. held the note for 10 secs. Fact. This demonstrates sufficiently good breathing technique in order to hold a decently high note. Stay on topic. I'm not obliged to prove that Lea M. sung DROMP the best.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf My point in not being impressed by her DROMP is that as early as D5 she is already struggling. That's why I am not sold on her being able to hit A5 comfortably whether in full chest, long sustained falsetto or jumping to falsetto A5 from a mixed-register high note. She simply does not have the goods to perform it consistently hence the lipping.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) Look, if she was struggling, she wouldn't be able to hold the note. I already said numerous times. If her voice was truly tight, then her throat would tense and her voice would crack, and she would not be able to sustain the note for 10 secs. Surely you don't dispute this is how the voice works?

2) No, you cannot conclude that, because many singers can't even do the DROMP note but can hit the A5 in falsetto. Lea Michele is more than capable of hitting an A5 in falsetto.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf when she finally performs that A5 live then I'll believe it.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

The discussion is not whether Lea Michele can sing A5 live or not, the discussion is whether the A5 is falsetto or chest voice. I already told you that if it was really falsetto, then why would she bother lipping it? It's quite easy to sing in falsetto. You said it's because she has bad breathing technique and hence she's at risk of going flat, therefore she needs to lip. I said that she seems to have decent breathing technique since she can sustain a mid-ranged belt for 10 secs.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont'd)

Your reply did not really engaged with what I said. The most direct response was that you said her voice was actually tight but I pointed out that if her voice was really tight, then she wouldn't be able to hold the note + there are plenty of women who can't sing the DROMP note but can hit A5 in falsetto. Hence, from my view at least, since Lea M. has trouble singing A5 live consistently, it seems that it is sung in chest voice rather in falsetto.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf even if a woman can hit A5 falsetto once on a good day, it doesn't necessarily mean she can consistently hit that note cleanly and strongly in every performance if she doesn't have the vocal technique to support her performance. Lea M is obviously one of those women that's why she lips. Inconsistent even in her A5 falsetto.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) Lea Michele hits E5s & F5s pretty consistently live - surely that is more difficult than hitting a simple A5 in falsetto just once during a concert?

2) You keep saying that she doesn't have the technique, hence she cannot hit an A5 properly in falsetto. But, as I keep repeating, her DROMP shows pretty robust breathing technique as she can hold a note for 10 secs which takes SOME decent skill. Sure, she may not be Barbra or Callas, sure, she's not the best singer out there,

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf E5's and F5's are several notes away from A5. Whether in chest or in clear, strong falsetto (as in her Walking on Sunshine Perfromance), it will require technique to hit that consistently. And again, her DROMP performance is a bad example because if anything, it reveals the flaws in her breathing technique as her breathy tone was in constant display in that song. And again, she still has to prove that she can hit that A5 falsetto live.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) I never said it doesn't require technique to sing a falsetto note. All I said was that it is EASIER to sing than a chest note.

2) Yes, E5s and F5s are several notes away from A5. But we are comparing E & F5s in chest voice vs. A5 in falsetto. I've already shown you that the A5 falsetto is easier because there is less tension on the vocal cords + it requires less breathing support. Unless you disagree with that logic?

3) For DROMP, she may sound breathy or nasal,

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf it might be "easier" to hit falsetto A5 than chest -dominant mixed register A5, but it's no guarantee you'll hit that note consistently with the same strong quality everytime especially in a fast paced number and in a concert wherein that's not your only song number. So it's no surprise the producers opt for Lea M to lip it than risk any flaws in her singing.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

I'm not sure I find your arguments very convincing:

1) The shifting of registers to hit the A5 note only happens once in the concert, which is during this number.

2) Yes, there is no guarantee you'll hit a high note consistently. But the same can be said for her E5's and F5's in chest voice, which as you conceded are more difficult to sing than a weak A5 falsetto note. She has a higher chance of tiring her voice in belting these relatively high chest notes than singing A5 falsetto

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont'd) yet she still sings these notes in chest voice, no?

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf I'm not entirely convinced either that she performs those E5's and F5's live all the time. And again, those "chest" notes of hers are not impressive.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) watch?v=ZhLTx6f2bMo . In this live performance, she hits E5s/F5s without vocal rest which seems to indicate good vocal technique. If she can do it in this setting, it seems likely that she can do it in a concert where the E5s and F5s are more further spaced out.

2) I am not obliged to defend the "impressiveness" of her chest voice; that is besides the point. The central crux is whether she hit A5 in falsetto or in chest voice.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf the drama desk awards? How many song numbers did she perform there as opposed to the Glee Concert? Lemme guess only one as opposed to several in her Glee concerts. You have to consider vocal exhaustion due to performing more than ONE number. And urgh...it was a chore to listen to that. More of lea's breathy tone all over the place. Yikes.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) The high notes in the Glee concert are spaced out - Lea only sings a few of them in every concert. Be reminded that this is a GLEE concert not a Lea M. concert - the bulk of the concerts are group singing which don't require her to sing those high notes. She probably only hits around 4-5 E5s & F5s in a glee concert with plenty of vocal breaks in between when other ppl are singing.

[ddsclassq]

@eyestrained07 actually, not to offend you i might add, but Lea has a very good breathing technique. :)

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont'd)

Lea M. may struggle with longer melody lines, I'm not disputing that. It may not be the best rendition of DROMP, it may be worse than Barbra's or Regine's. BUT, the fact remains, that she HELD THE NOTE FOR 10 SECS + the note did not go flat. That demonstrates a certain level of vocal technique that is more than enough for an A5 falsetto. If you disagree, then u need to show how an A5 falsetto is MORE difficult than a note belted in the 5th octave.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf again her 10 second D5 is nothing to write home about and is not clear proof that she will be able to hit that A5 falsetto consistently. You work on too many assumptions. Until I see a video of Lea performing that A5 live, your assumptions don't hold much sway.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

No, you're misrepresenting the situation. I didn't come up with the assumptions - you did. You were the one who said that Lea Michele cannot hit an A5 falsetto consistently live because of her bad breathing technique. That was your assumption about the limitations of Lea M's vocal ability. i simply gave you an example that I felt demonstrated her decent breathing & vocal technique. The onus is on YOU not me to show another problem with her vocal ability that makes her unable to

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont'd)

hit an A5 in falsetto. All I did was show a counter-example to your thesis, I provided no new assumptions into the discussion that I am aware of.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf your assumption was belting D5 (even horribly) automatically means she can hit that A5 falsetto easily and consistently thus requiring no lipping. And with that I certainly disagree. She lacks consistency precisely because of her poor technique as shown in the same performance you try to use as an example.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

*sighs* You said she couldn't hit the A5 falsetto because of bad breathing technique. I gave you an example where she sustained a 10sec long note which seems to demonstrate decent breathing. Therefore, your assertion that she cannot hit the A5 falsetto live does not stand. You have to give me ANOTHER reason why she "lacks consistency" and how she has "poor technique". I've already shown you that falsettos are easier than chest notes, they put less strain on the voice, you said

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

nothing to that logic, but have continued asserting in a rather circular fashion that she has "poor technique" without really substantiating your claim.

Ok, to make things simpler, you need to show me why an A5 falsetto is more difficult than the D5 10 second belt in DROMP. I've already told you that that falsettos put less strain on the voice and require less breath hence your initial claims don't stand.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf You're the one going in circles with your D5 assumption. And as for less strain in the voice, those were your words, not mine. Falsettos actually require more air than chest notes (which I already said in my previous post).

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

1) The D5 was my counter-example to your assertion that Lea has bad breathing technique. You need to tell me why Lea could still do the 10 sec belt and still have bad breathing technique. Simple as that.

2) Yes, less strain in the voice were my words. Falsettos do NOT require more air than chest notes - they are a lot weaker and hence require less air to produce the sound. Even if more air is required, chest notes put more tension on the vocal cords and are hence more tiring.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

(cont'd)

But hitting an A5 falsetto is less demanding on the vocals + breathing than a D5 in chest voice. A falsetto puts less strain on the vocal cords and does not require as much support from proper breathing than a chest note, so I'm not very convinced by your repeated insistence that she somehow lacks the vocal technique to hit an A5 in falsetto.

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

@eyestrained07

('cont) shifting to an A5 when her chest voice "can't hack it". I don't see how you've managed to conclude that Lea M. has "poor breathing technique". Indeed, she seems pretty comfortable up even when belting F5's in chest voice, so that seems to demonstrates sufficient control of her breathing in order to hit an A5 in FALSETTO.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf and um, your suggestion that I look at Lea M's walking on Sunshine clearly indicates you don't get it.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf and yes, 4 replies had to be made because you're clearly not getting it.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf btw, lipping if you're a diva is unforgivable. The hilarious thing is LEa Michele's high note arrangements are not even as difficult as Regine's yet Lea still lips! Regine rarely, if NEVER lipsynchs even if she is already hoarse form singing. Now THAT's a real singer. Not just someone who is hyped by the Glee PR machine to kids who don't know any better.

[eyestrained07]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf and no , I don't say a singer is great because of nationality. I love any diva who sings great regardless of nationality. Lea Michele just so happens to be a mediocre belter who is overhyped and clearly I'm not a fan of. As for annoying fans, lots of Lea Michele fans are annoying as well like you who go here and bring her up in a Regine video. There are even Lea Michele fans who go to Streisand videos and diss her. The nerve.

[eyestrained07]

@10smirya I think the worst part about Lea Michele's A5 in Faithfully is that hers is lipped.

[JamesFrancis009]

i love regine talaga!!!! sya lng talaga kinalolokohan kong singer in the whole universe!!!!

I know lea michelle..but her version was recorded (studio)..this is live....

[reignraven]

pero bongga tlga version ni regine d2. bagay ung song xa boses nya na naturally powerful! .. this is may not be the highest version of the song but i know that SHE can do it higher than this one . .

[asdfhuliashduflasihf]

With all due respect, this is not the highest version. The highest she hits here is an F5, and Lea Michele does an A5... now you can say that singing the highest note isn't the be all and end all, but your title is a bit misleading...

[reignraven]

@asdfhuliashduflasihf i agree . . guys lets not be too exaggerated . . but this is great also am i ryt?

[aeondale11]

kaya siguro lumipat si mark sa gma kasi puro baklita mga male singers sa asap...hahaha good decision mark!

[muziklaber]

@rs51247 and what are you imbecile?

[jmaejhe]

@muziklaber napaka narrow minded mong tao at wala kang alam for sure in a real duet ..d lahta nang singer dapat kasing galing ni regine lahat may kanya kanyang galingd i kailangan ni mark makisabay kay regine atleast naging magnda ang duet noh di niya kilangn bumirt

[muziklaber]

@jmaejhe I believe I am entitled to my own opinion. Besides I never compared Mark to Regine . And tell me , Is there a thing between a real duet and not a real duet?

Just because everybody is liking it does not mean I have to like it too. For all we know some are just trying to conform to the greater number to avoid conflict. You made such a very stupid response. Wish you could have used somebody else's comment instead of your own. It would have saved your a** a little grace.
