      That's such a sweet thing to say, although I feel like it's less about imperfections (every singer has those) and more about a concern for her health and comfort. She's already had two vocal surgeries, and she's only 35. Even though it sounds critical, I think a lot of this is just a reasonable health concern. Take care Adele! 🖤

Of course, everybody has different taste but how can you criticize Adele and comment 3 times to hate on her when you like Jungkook and all that stuff? I mean, if you liked Korean music then okay but you just like BOYSBAND music. For your information, boysbands were created to please the young women's gaze by choosing men no for their talent but for their look. Most of them don't write their own lyrics or play their own instruments and a lot use auto-tune, pitch correction and audio enhancement . Nothing bad with that since even Michael Jackson did that but the problem is that boysbands and especially BTS use it in almost all their songs and even during lives.

    I think her most distinct problem is that she doesn’t have a mix region, she constantly switches between strong chest voice and weak head voice, and this damages your vocal cords a lot. However I do think that the raspiness in her voice is really unique and sounds good tbh.

    Her biggest issue is she leaks too much air. Too much air across the vocal cords, is the kiss of death. Her voice tires quickly and cords get swollen and she has to alter something her throat to get the sound out. What I don't understand with singers is, if you do this professionally and you notice a lot of fatigue and damage...... Why not learn how to use it properly, she has enough money to take lessons!

      It's not an easy thing, especially when some of these more dangerous things u do with your voice, are part of your signature sound.
      And it's also deeply tied to certain emotions if u are a passionate singer - we don't think about what we are doing when really singing a song, we feel our way through a song - it's not easy to work against that.
      It would probably take about a year of rehearsals where she needs to focus on doing it as healthy as possible and trying to get that into her muscle memory.

      Do you have any Idea how muscle memory works? Especially internal muscles like within the vocal tract?
      Imagine a thing you did for basically your whole life, like walking.
      Then you get told that you need to do it differently to prevent damage.
      It will be a long and stressful process, to consciously adjust every step so that you prevent damage/ache/whatever
      Difficult enough.
      Now Imagine the same thing, but you are known and loved for the way you always walked, you make a living of it.
      People pay to see you walk that certain way you always walked, and they expect you to walk the same way everytime they come to see you.
      Changing the way you walk in private, without people seeing you struggle is already hard.
      But trying this with people watching you do it, whilst also having the pressure of maintaining the appearance of your walk...
      That is one hell of a task
      And that's the lvl of difficulty we're talking about.
      But I guess judging prople is much easier
      (and also ignoring the fact that Beyonce had vocal training from an early age, her voice was trained in a healthy way before her career even started - which creates a very different situation to begin with and which is not to be compared with someone who had years of singing, creating a signature sound, developing habits some good some bad and only then starting formal vocal training.)
      There are too many factors to consider.

    I went to music school as a pianist. Completely different instrument, of course. But, I've had incredible teachers who specifically made a point to share their winsdom on proper techniques that will keep my fingers and wrists safe. There should be more professional vocal coaches who work alongside these lovely young pop vocalists, to help ensure their longevity. It breaks my heart when seeing that by their 30's, one's voice ie completely shot, knowing that healthy singing and a solid vocal coach could have prevented much of the damage to their instrument.

So maybe in a way, her success and her vocal damage had been probabilistically inevitable from the beginning?

    The pop singing trap. When you're young and fresh, you can squeeze to "create" a certain type of sound. As you get older/tired, and the instrument is no longer as pliable, you end up squeezing more to keep it under control, which leads to more tiredness, and a vicious circle that ends in injury/surgery/retirement. There was a time when "popular music" was not that far from classical, and many popular and Broadway singers used a classical or operatic technique, which emphasizes breathing and free production. With each successive generation, the "pop" sound gets more pushed, squeezed, constrained, and unhealthy, leading to burnout and injuries.

    Interesting input! As a singer myself, while I am still working on making my technique more consistent, I do agree with your insights.
    The problem is, the 'pushing' and glottal attacks that cause issues in her voice, although unhealthy, are also what gave Adele her signature style as well. This happens with a number of pop singers too, not just Adele - the imperfections are what made them interesting to listen to and hence ignited their popularity in the first place. I think it is important to find that balance where we can produce such 'imperfect' sounds without hurting ourselves. Great video!

    @jamescopeland8050 3 года назад +9

    I think most of it was predominantly due to her lifestyle habits (which she's now changed). Adele used to be quite a heavy smoker and loved a party (meaning alcohol lol). Interestingly when you are a singer and you are a smoker, you can actually cause more damage to your voice by abruptly stopping than if you were to otherwise continue, but of course in the long term it's going to have a negative effect regardless.
    A lot of Adele's work is very stylistic though. For instance, she chooses to start with vocal breaks rather than dip into them toward the end of a note (like Sia does, for example). Glottal attack has very much became a trademark of Adele's singing style, too.
    Ultimately though every use of our voice chips away at it - though some to a significantly higher degree than others - and where we draw the line for what is considered "healthy" or "correct" can be very subjective. A constant though is that the voice always needs care and it always needs rest, and I'd say those are more important than changing stylistic approaches.
    As for her pitch, yeah Adele is very upfront that she's not always on pitch and can often be sharp or fall flat on notes here and there, but then again there's very few people in the world who can maintain perfect pitch every single time they sing

    • @likethecheeze321

      Does she really "CHOOSE" to use harsh glottal attacks? As a fellow vocal coach, 18 years teaching and 10 years of training before that, I can definitely tell the difference between people "adding stylistic elements" and a straight-up BAD VOCAL HABIT. Adele is very much the latter. She needed vocal surgery in her MID 20's. If that doesn't scream "bad technique" to you, then you need to dive a little deeper into the physiology of healthy singing--The kind that keeps performers singing well in to their 70's & 80's.

    It's sad that when a singer becomes famous with poor technique that they seem to feel they can't change that signature sound even when it's hurting them. No one's saying she's not an artist. But it's so important to teach people what good technique is. No one deserves to go through the vocal ordeal she went through before thirty. Good singing teachers need to speak the truth about technique; it is the ethical thing to do. And yes contemporary singers need good technique, not just classical singers. Think of how well Celine Dion's voice lasted with it.

  • @simocham80

    Hi, I think what you say about Adele's vocal technique is right, but I think that the little imperfections make her voice and style interesting to hear. If she didn't do the glottal attacks, if she didn't do the vibrato come later, if she didn't sound raspy at times, (and I think she decides when because she doesn't sound raspy all the time), it would sound technically perfect, but less interesting. I think damage can be caused by so many other things, like general fatigue or stress. It's not necessarily du to wrong technique. She has been singing so much. Even singers with almost perfect technique get vocal damage in time.. I just think that all the little technically unperfect things that you point out are exactly things that make Adele's voice super interesting to hear, and if she didn't do those things she would sound more healthy but less special.

  • @alexd1121
    @alexd1121 2 года назад +13

    Technically dissecting the voices of our most magical artists is the absolute recipe for poor singing. Aretha, Barbra, Freddie, Whitney, Mariah, Adele and other of the greatest singers out there pour their soul into their singing and mean every word they sing and that’s what makes them multi million selling singers, not how much the throat is open, how pitch perfect they are or other irrelevant scientific considerations. If you’ve got a singer’s ear, try to imitate what you like and then develop your own style by finding material that speaks to your soul or better yet by writing things that fit. Technical considerations are relevant for classic singing mainly and even then, the greatest always prioritize truth of emotion like great actors. That’s how one develops identity. That’s why singers with crap voices sometimes break through where big technically perfect singer’s don’t. Adele is smart and lucky enough to sing her own material and write from her truth.

    • @andij605

      Meh. I don't know the rest too well, but Mariah and Aretha and Freddie for sure cared for their vocal chords more. That's why Aretha could have such and incredibly long career, and that's why Mariah's voice isn't completely gone yet. I mean let's talk in 2045 I guess, but my bet is Adele will have to use some AI technology to imitate her voice by then instead of her own voice. I like her so much, that's why I'm worried.

    You spent quite a bit of time critiquing her being flat and raspy and throwing out explanations for why it might be so. It wasn't a style choice. It wasn't breath support. It wasn't this or that or whatever else you might would ordinarily want to cite to explain why a singer's voice is doing something. The actual reason is quite simple: she was very sick with either the flu or a cold. But Adele doesn't cancel a commitment unless she absolutely has to, so she showed up and sang anyway. Kind of like when Patti Labelle satisfied her commitment to perform at the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize concert for Wangari Maathai. If I recall correctly, she left the hospital or ignored her doctor's advice for bed rest in order to be there to perform. You can hear it in her voice, but she still pulled it out.

      Many amazing singers use vocal coaches. Technique got jack all to do with talent. Technique simply allows someone's potential to be better utilized and avoid harming themselves in the process.
      Imagine it being similar to professional athletes: even at their peak they still utilize coaches and trainers and practice regularly. It's the same with musicians. Heck! Neil Peart is considered a legend among drummers and he still took drumming lessons throughout his entire career.
      Talented people still benefit from regularly honing and improving their skills and techniques. It wouldn't diminish their unique talents in any way, quite the contrary.
