Guest Drowned Bedtime Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Just be thankful her voice has deteriorated as much as people like Tori Amos. I actually don't like her voice anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eu4ria Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I remember a long time ago watching an interview on tv and this quote stood out that i still remember it to this day "I never really thought I had a great voice, I just had something to say" or something like that. Anyone else remember that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I love her voice, in any form or phase. "Dance 2night" nasal, BAT off-key, "Take a Bow" smooth, "I Want You" sexy, whatever - it's the SACRED voice of pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eu4ria Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 i know, it took me awhile to arrive to that party. better late than never!!! But isnt that the great thing about her music? being able to listen to songs you may have ignored in the past and realize later on how good they are. For me that is the best part.

Anyone else remember that? I believe she was talking about why she got into the music business. And I agree her voice at times is very thin these days. I dont know if its just age or something to do with the Evita training? But even after that she delivered songs where I thought she sounded amazing. I Deserve It and Gone are two that spring to mind. Her voice is beautiful on these. Also I dont know if she would have been able to sing a song like ROL pre Evita and that remains my favorite Madonna song of all time, so for that alone the training was worth it. But I agree that I wish she could belt out songs like she used to when she first started out. I think as a whole I do prefer her pre Evita voice the most. I also think she sounded her best during the Girlie Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 oh, you came in during the voice training/maturing period. i loved its evolution from the beginning. as much as i bytch about that entire period, of course i love it. i couldnt wait for the evita soundtrack!!! i even spent 30 fucking bucks on an import from england that was released a few weeks before and it was just the highlights from the movie. i still dont own the proper release. UPLOAD!!! I didn't say I came in during that period, I said I liked her voice especially in that era. I became a fan during the Like A Prayer period when I was 6 years old. And I LOVE her voice on that album as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Her voice is fine, it's the choice of how she records each song for effect. Thats where a good or bad choice is made. Perfect examples are the 2 new tracks Celebration where in my opinion she sounds perfect, and Revolver where she sounds tinny! Just a choice thats made in the creation of the song, not her voice really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eu4ria Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I believe she was talking about why she got into the music business. Right thats true. but i think that quote still rings true today, no? For me she has always represented much more than her ability to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yummy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Her vocals are not what they used to be. Her melodramatic trained vocie is all but gone. That's why I loved the Music album, it's still held that resonance from the ROL vocals but it's still has soul and substance that's been missing since.....She's trying to capture that 80's minnie mouse sound which is going backwards not forwards.

Guest Pud Whacker Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 back to teh question: in revolver she sounds like a britney. its ugly. not my cup. but its the processing of the voice, its not the voice. I LOVE IT LIVE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Can I just say that I am happy that she redeemed herself with Into the Groove on the S&S tour though. I thought I would never hear her sing this song good live ever again after that awful Gap commercial vocal that was used on the Reinvention tour. Blah that sucked ass.

gemini1313 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 i agree with you about her voice getting grating or changing. I HAVE ALWAYS SAID that Evita Voice Lessons screwed up her natural vocal charm. Her voice used to have a warmth & soul. Last i heard of it was on the AL album. The voice has just gotten more crowish with each period. I first started to notice the change on the BRITNEY DUET SONG....i was like.....ewwww, her voice sounds unpleasant to the ear all thru that track. ( "come over here i got something to show ya") I think thats why i didnt like HC so much. to much tin crow voice. I HOPE LIVE NATION BRINGS HER FULL CIRCLE.

Guest waiting Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I used to love her voice for its distinctiveness. When her voice came on the radio you just knew it was her. No vocal acrobatics... just rawness. Her voice in Rescue me is amazing - what the hell happened to it? Also the way she sang Live to Tell - I always loved the way she sounds when she used her deeper voice - nobody had that sound. She sounded fantastic in most of the Girlie Show as well- loved that voice. Now, I never hear her produce these sounds anymore. The raw growl and the deep expressive bellowing voice she used to have is gone gone gone. I thought she even sounded great in Evita. When I first started not really liking her voice was actually ROL - she sounded too "perfect" - like it was stripped of its personality. It has only gotten worse over the years.

Skin Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Also on a personal note I myself can sing better to her older lower range growly songs. This crow voice I cant cut. Bitch is out of my range now. Probably why I can see best to people like Pink these days. (Also note that I sing only to myself thank you very much. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
