Kelly Clarkson - Supported Vocal Range (At her best)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2017
- Kelly's lower register has improved over the years, making her support consistently down to G3/G#3 nowadays, however so, below this her vocal chords lacks of the proper connection, preventing her to sing with good tonal quality and with an airy muffled sound.
On her mixed voice, Kelly is known for her high belting and throaty-singing, which has more to do with her musical style more than with her ability to produce well-supported singing. Since her debut years Kelly has shown she's able to carry consistent support up to E5/F5, even though she starts losing resonance on the C#5/D5 area and onwards, support is present when she wants it to be. However so, around F5/F#5 her placement starts getting throaty and overly chesty, making her strain the hell up to C6 (her highest mixed note).
On the upper register, Kelly's connection to her head voice has always been present, even before she debuted. But it wasn't until few years ago that she started showing more confidence with this area and singing with it more often. Althought she has shown good moments of support up to C6, her consisten support really ends at G#5/A5, above this she starts getting too thin, pushed and her vocal chords begin to lose connection (as can be noticed on her Bb5 at "Ave Maria" and her C6s on "Invincible").
Legit shook while making this 'cause, even though I'm a really big fan of Kelly I wasn't expecting this level of slayage.
After the pregnancy she's still able to produce supported F5 on Invincible's performance.
And now she’s got her F# back in I Dare You.
@@CharityRivers is she still supporting F#5 now!!
@@lucia7247 Yes
@@richdwayneadamdelacruz7633 BEECH YESSSSSS
Her vocal ability is everything, her musicianship >>>>>. Her support is amazing 90% of the time (pre pregnancy) and she’s getting better compared to 2015. 2016 & up until now has been great, Queen.
She is amazing, she is very known but still is underrated.
Real Musiclovers she is at the next level but so underrated
@Real Musiclovers Waaaaaay better
Real Musiclovers not really
Carlos Junior not really lol
vocal stan actually she has better technique
In love with that first E5!
It goes to show that even in her worst (2015), she still has the capability to support her upper belts (F5). She has technique, just 1. inconsistent and 2. that she lost her ease because of pregnancy (maybe) or the times she continuously got sick because of it. Hopefully the damage isn't permanent and she can bounce back!
mErDzKy09 I think some of the problems created by being pregnant is due to the fact she had c-sections twice! Instead of me trying to explain why I think this affected her I'll copy and paste some information.
First here's how the stomach muscles work for singing: " Push that weight up using just the muscles in your stomach. Simultaneously draw air into your lungs to their full capacity. ... The muscles you're using are your diaphragm. The best way to think about singing from your diaphragm is to think of your diaphragm muscles as a platform or tabletop."
Now here's what happens to the stomach muscles during a c-section: " In a c-section 6-7 incisions are made throughout the process. Although the abdominal muscles themselves are not cut, the fascia which connects them is cut and this allows the doctor to pull the muscles apart in order to get to the next layer of fascia. Who knows how many extra nicks happen during c-sections and where they happen. The key is with all of the incisions/severing of the body, all of the nerves are also cut. Separating the muscles causes nerve damage, loss of blood supply, and damage to the muscle itself. Without proper retraining of these muscles it is extremely difficult to get access to the muscles. Without being able to access the muscles it is very difficult to tone them, leaving them flabby or pooch like tummy.
I feel many women have a feeling of relief their muscles are not cut, but in reality it is kind of misleading. Although a scalpel does not cut through the rectus muscles, the fascia that is attached to them is cut, and then the muscles are separated from the fascia by pulling the apart. This causes a separation. So whether it is an incision or a tearing or pulling apart, the results seem to be basically the same. A separation of the fascia and the need to either reconnect on their own or through stitches.
You have to remember this is one example. Some hospitals may use a cautery that burn the skin and cut through all the layers at once instead of making all of the little incisions. With this method often the muscles are also cut."
That was a lot of information, but I think it's the reason behind some of the changes in Kellys singing!
Supported range - pink
up
E3 - F5
@@ingropetinal3915 id say consistently up to E5 surely
*D3 - F5
Her closed vowels upperbelts are pure gold.
She doesn't really lose resonance above D5, but her voice the 'Mariah' thing where it lightens in timbre and the harmonics go higher.
F#5 sound so clean
She is an amazing vocalist with a beautiful tone
the fact that she was able to belt out those F5s during American Idol when she was new and untrained is crazy.
Actually, she grew up singing opera in high school and had a full paid scolarship to go study music in college, but she turned it down to go to LA. So, she wasn't untrained.
@@jonathanouellette7050 thanks for the info hun
i mean, no untrained vocalists can suddenly support F5 in mix lol
Her lows are very weak but shes a lyric soprano so her technique makes up for it...Everyone knows shes one of the best belters in Pop music. Very rich earth sound even on higher notes... Ive noticed lately she doesnt hit the G5#/A5 area as much maybe because of maturity.
I don't think they're weak. She maintains her tone down to G3 consistently and can add dynamics. That's great for a lyric soprano. Plus your lower register is somewhat dictated by how high or low your speaking voice is because your lower notes often account for how low your speaking voice can go. And since Kelly's voice is higher than some, it makes sense that she isn't as comfortable lower.
She's amazing! I loved her first E5!
God, those two Trouble With Love Is performances where she's resonating on F5s without even trying, lordy.
G3 - F5/F#5 - B5/C6
These are effortless.
You need to updated this with her Meaning of life sessions and that insane note she hits on Fallon on Whole lotta Woman!
Love Kelly, only her lows are "bad" didn't know that she could support until F#5 belts, amazing
Thiago Melo her lows are decent for a Soprano, they're even good. And she doesn't support F5s nowadays, I think she currently supports up to D5/Eb5
the flawless one Love So Soft has supported F#5's. and Meaning of Life has supported F5's too.
She support g#5
Minho Hyung she doesn't not support up to G#5
swift 1989 None of her F#5s from "love so soft" are supported. Almost all of them are strained.
I wonder If Selena Gomez has a video more than 5 sec?
despairingleonardo the video probably won't even last a damn second lol
Why be so damn rude?!
I think she's got like F3-A4 of lucky moments
Jessica F3 - B4 - E5 I think
She's only ever sung in falsetto so i dont think she's ever supported an E5...
She’s a lyric soprano
G3-F#5-C6 is Kelly's supported range at best.
That F5 from the first Trouble with Love Is clip tho!! Holy shit!!!
You're right in what you're pointing out. Let me tell you I don't agree with the choice of some notes (she has way better Eb5s and F5s, and lots of better F#5, especially from 2012-2013) and, as you said in the box, she has some good notes around G5s-A5s, but you didn't display any of them...
I know but the point of the video was proven anyway. It'd be nice if you show me these :P
Of Course! :) what do you prefer? Example of F#s, G-As or Ebs and Fs?? :) :)
everything you have to show me, on mixed voice and head voice
Oh thank you so much! The first F#5 is nice, the other one is questionable. From G5 and above everything was unsupported, she's being either throaty, screetchy, closed or losing the right placement. That G#5 with Blake Shelton got me shook loool it had good placement but it was squeezed and very closed. But there's nothing different from what I pointed out here.
where did all the links you commented go?!
She have a free mixed Bb5 i think, i don't remember where i listened it
slay
Really nice video! I guess not all the notes sound supported here but that's still fine. She's a really good singer in terms of vocal technique but sometimes she doesn't have a good recognition from the so-called "vocal coaches": in particular they said that she is throaty the half of the times (which means that she's kinda inconsistent), her head voice is very disconnected and that she is just "basic". What do you think about it?
She's not inconsistent, she's often throaty because that's her singing style, she has shown moments of support more than few times, and that's what makes the difference, she does really know how to support and when, like in the performance of My Country 'Tis of Thee, she hits multiple supported E5s without struggling, she totally knows how to sing properly and that's been demostrated throughout her whole career (since she was in American Idol). Her head voice is good and well connected, since the beggining it has been always consistent, I can't see anything basic about her head voice, she starts losing resonance above G5 but that's not a bad thing, she has supported well-connected head voice up to C6.
I'm not trained enough to realize how credible your statements are but I really appreciated your answer. Btw she sounds simply amazing to me, except for the bad times xD
Edgar Cárdenas exactly. Her support in the my country tis of thee performance was out of this world
Jessie j please!
Wow the opening sounds like Big Hit alot. Careful boy lol
You didn't get to her whistle register!! She can reach up to a C7!!! She's incredible! Still great video though, still flaunts her gift.
this is just supported range, whistles are a disconnected register & can't be supported
@@MIXANDMTCH OH, okay, that actually makes sense. Thanks for helping me see that! Have a great day! ☺️
oh! thank you & you too!
I think it's amazing to support a C6..
Her lows are weak but still decent granted that shes a full lyic soprano...
It’s actually quite decent as she supports down to G3. Not many sopranos can do that
Considering she has a higher speaking voice, it makes sense why she isn't as comfortable lower than that. She maintains good vocal cord connection to G3, so she has good coordination. Her natural voice just doesn't allow her to have a clear sound lower than G3. Sopranos don't need to constantly sing in the lower 3rd octave to be good. The only sopranos that come to mind with lower registers that good are Natalie Weiss and Mariah Carey, but they're more the exception than the norm.
@@GetWellSoonR.E.M. tori Kelly seems to be getting there too
She's actually a light-lyric, but her voice has darkened due to pregnancy.
@@abcdefu6063 A lot can, actually. Just not consistently.
The head voice's part, don't seems supported above A5
It does
@@maximhamley6662 how do you recognize supported notes? I have no idea how to do it
@Random Person ohh thanks! but I think I still can't recognize them lol
Can you do one for Ariana?
There's one already online. It's F#3-E5.
Sam: lies, ariana never supported E5, that one is way too tensed even though it carried a bit of support. she once supported some D5 and Ebs but consistent only at B4.
Gray Sings The sustained E5 in her first JALBOYH performance has partial support, so not lies, and even without that she's fully supported Eb5s in her Suddenly Frankie performances.
@@graysang5386 When you posted your reply, she hadn't, but she did in SWT (a lot of changes in her vocal technique were evident: she began supporting E5s and consistently supporting C5s, with quite a lot of supported C#5s and D5s).
@@graysang5386 lol,she has E5
Can you do Regine Velasquez thnk you
None of the F#5s from Love So Soft are supported?
Lichy Guevara she supports up to G#5 past that she's noticably throaty
One of the best singers ever. Up there with the best of them, and definitely better than beyonce
Chris Coyne definitely not less consistent, less developed, much worse low notes, smaller supported range Beyoncé C3-F#5-Eb6, Kelly G3-F#5-C6, not as connected voice, and she doesn't have Beyoncé's dynamics or agility. Basically she's got nothing on Beyoncé. Beyoncé is currently unmatched, by any artist that didn't come out in the 90s ruclips.net/video/tpYyi2fkyMM/видео.html
Chris Coyne and Beyoncé is a mezzo a lower voice and Kelly's a soprano higher voice, and Beyoncé has both better lower and higher notes
Ive Mc Fallen Kelly and Bey can both support F#5's. Bey beats Kelly on lows and HV, but Kelly is better in upper belts.
swift 1989 Not really, Kelly has more ease on upper belts past F5 due to her soprano tessitura but Beyoncé has a much better vocal placement, breath support, and a more even mix when belting F5s & F#5s than Kelly ever did.
I want to know .. where is all of your credintials for what your stating on your vids.? I for one listen to kelly live because she sounds amazing and her voice moves me. Why do you have to pick everything apart. I mean Damm if your theories were so true maybe you would be on the payroll of these artists. .
Can you do Jessie j? She is always praised for her high notes but I'm pretty sure she only supports to D5
Brandon Hall you'd be correct about that lol. Above D5 she gets very shrill, strains, and raises her larynx to the sky lmao 😂
Brandon Hall i agree!. And she lose consistency and resonance
RyderC Daniels that's what I've been saying! 😂😂 she is not so good at mixing
Carlos Hurtado yes!!
Brandon Hall are you a singer?
I swear she's a Full Lyric or a Spinto Soprano. I have no idea people think she's a "light lyric", I get that she's hoarse here and there and maybe they hear thinness or vocal fry but she has a very dramatic, cutting edge to her upper range with an explosive quality/clarity..her voice is big to me, not "light". 4:49 a light lyric couldn't dream of that vocal size.
Piano&VocalGuy89 yeah but “full lyric” is sort of a made up term. Lyric soprano and Dramatic are formal roles and for all intents and purposes a spinto is a lyric-dramatic.
Perhaps she is just an expert belter, but she’s pulls off some dramatic belts. I think many untrained singers dominate arguments and people think a spinto is just a dramatic.
A full lyric, as with any lyric should lack dramatic clarity/darkness/coldness and strength.. and their voice tends to shrink under compression which limits changing color.
I just feel her voice is noticeably large and her head voice is booming, I think she’s a lyric leaning spinto, but I guess that’s why people use the term Full Soprano lol
@@ThePianoguy89 When I say made up, I mean that it's more of an adjective than a classical voice type. I agree she's clearly not a dramatic but towards her upper belting range it gets pretty dramatic to my ear and I would actually argue that that's squillo and cuts forward like a knife. Full-Lyric and Spinto are also very close fachs so I won't beat a dead horse.
Her belting is very throaty so maybe she's just amplifying her tone but it's hard for me to over look how much she can depart from the "lyric" sound, in my experience lyrics are more fragile
@@ThePianoguy89 I know what full lyric and light lyric mean, I was in choir since middle school. I would actually, generally agree with your classifications as well but I can't help but ask about your vocal training because as far as I've been taught, a Spinto is just a high squillo voice that's flexible between lyric and dramatic roles. IE a hybrid voice.
I actually think her voice is fragile from abuse and deeply logged belting which is what Whitney did. Whitney's voice was fragile too even before the drugs and I actually think they both tend to sing aggressively in the chest. I'm being petty and looking at many of her old performances and I genuinely think she was always a full-lyric and to me her voice is developing towards spinto. I actually think she uses squillo to achieve that dramatic sound.
Pop and contemporary have really deluded classical definitions imo. Here's her covering a Whitney song. I think the similarities are there, but Kelly may be manipulating her sound for all I know.
ruclips.net/video/m-Mxge6FdKA/видео.html
Piano&VocalGuy89 I didn’t say she was always a spinto, I said she was always a full lyric. Her sound can get very dramatic. I have no idea where you get the “bright and girly” from... maybe her mid range but I would say she’s got a pretty rugged and in your face voice that cuts.
I feel like her all her pop songs conflate her actual instrument. She’s one of the strongest belters I can think of in terms of size and penetration and should’ve sang blues/gospel/rnb.
Also, Spinto is a hybrid voice, watch this video and go to 3 min mark, this was 16 years ago, there’s no way she was just a “lyric” that is now becoming full.
ruclips.net/video/E5o7q9X5YV8/видео.html
She's a light-lyric with a dark tone. She has possibilities of being a full-lyric, but definitely not a spinto-soprano, her voice isn't metallic at all. It's womanly and powerful, but not metallic.
I agree mostly with your videos but sometimes you include some very strained/throaty notes and i am like "Where is all the accuracy??" lol, 4:42 those F5s were hella throaty.
These F5s aren't strained/throaty, Kelly did give birth in 2014 (a year before that performance of Invincible) and she passed through a lot of voice changes caused by hormonal issues and stuff, one of these issues was the swelling of the vocal chords, which makes them less pliable, giving some kind of raspy quality sound like when you have nodules. There are other factors to take in consideration: she gained a lot of weight (which reduced her breath capacity so she has to push more air to reach higher notes) and also the swelling of the paranasal sinus (preventing her to resonate correctly at the mask area to have a more brighter sound). There's a certain throaty-quality on these specific F5s, but it's caused by these changes I already told you, she's not placing her voice on her throat, it's a little bit pushed but it's not unsupported, she's just dealing with post-pregnancy issues.
Edgar Cárdenas Edgar... Tú sabes mucho.sobre esto. Eres cantante profesional?
Profesional no jajajaja
You can tell it by the sound she's producing and how's she producing it, in comparison with truly throatiness. Also, you can notice the change in the weight of her voice, the F5s before-pregnancy are way more lighter. Also she said she passed through vocal issues when she was pregnant, all these issues are known and very common among pregnant women.
+Edgar Cárdenas Didn't she transitioned from a light to a full-lyric soprano?
Please stop calling chest mixed
0:58 HAHAHHA WTF? Love Kelly, damn.
Absolutely not
Bb5-C6 is anything but supported. LMAO!
overrated!
