angela  angela

[phubai69]

brings tears, but to all the haters: "pearls before swine"

[dasweeney62]

@insanecaine I agree but the funny thing is when you see her live she has such presence you kinda go 'So what?"

[insanecaine]

She (and Angela) both go sharp and flat. Why can't they stick with the notes without wavering (and i'm not talking about tremelo or melisma).

[loulie1997]

who dislikes this? tell me why?

[musigirl1986]

Consider, too, that we wake up with a new voice every morning and have our best voice only about 10% of the time. Lowering the jaw dramatically is one of the ways some singers compensate for a crappy day vocally... to put it in layman terms. ;)

@8Goldie Too bad, she sounds great -- and that's what matters.  Honestly, the things people are picky about...

[8Goldie]

@SickMouth Yes I know from myself-I'm a dramatic soprano and my professor always tells me to drop the jaw, but this is too much-it looks like she is chewing a gum.

[SickMouth]

@8Goldie It's necessary for some sopranos to make a desired sound. I'm taking voice in university and I've been asked to sing with my jaw lowered dramatically quite a few times to create a certain timbre.
