Maybe it's a remix, and she in fact is singing to a different song? ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

LOL every vocal line seems to be in a different key. I need to share this with my wife. It drives her NUTS when a singer is off key. I like it in some instances (e.g. a few New Order songs - Bernie isn't the strongest vocalist on the block, but at least he's in the ballpark), but this kind of blatant. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Maybe I should show my dad this as well. He gets infuriated with those kind of people MAKE IT STOP! and then he walks away, because he can't take it. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Get ready for the funappalooza: the first line and the dead vocal tone are already giving me a headache ... or maybe my sunglasses are too tight for my big head. And she picks up some dirty book and starts reading it.
There's a thread similar to this one (think it's called "how to write a crappy pop song" or something in the spirit of that). |

That pretty much sums it up. Not only out of tune, but jeez, she sounded like she swallowed kermit the frog too. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Woow...unbelievable !. She even did a music video. Maybe she just paid an amount of cash for the recording of the song + video, and everyone just did the job, no comments or questions asked. How unfortunate. Or maybe it's a deliberate thing, to get many youtube views...you never know. |

That was lame - and the clip was awful and made no sense. The singing is dreadful, nothing in tune, awful music too - a shot to the heart and gives Christians a bad name. -------------

It was... interesting, in some way. This vocal performance reminds the wonderful Gnesa (warning: the following is 100% unfiltered dance-pop-r'n'b-mainstream, do not watch if you're rounded with punks, progsters, jazzmen, metalheads, etc...): |

Wow, that was terrible. If they weren't a Christian band, most rock critics would like them. They'd call her singing "authentic". The video won't load past about a minute in. Am I missing anything?

| Unfortunately it played all the way through for me. She's put in the stocks at the end but then someone was foolish enough to let her out. |

I kind of liked her singing, actually. Yes, it was flat, but it was almost like she was flat as an aesthetic choice (kind of like Curt Kobain). The "Christian Side Hug" vid that Chester posted, on the other hand, was terrible. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

I was recently getting to Doom Metal and it's obvious how they intentionally try to sing "out of tune", in a Joy Division-sort of way.
It's meant to symbolize how the world has gone out of order. -------------

That went completely over my head. All I could think of was 'please make it stop'. OK it made me laugh a bit as well so I had mixed feelings. |

The thing that strikes me about something like this, is the fact that none of the folks involved have had the balls to confront this woman with her terrible vocals. I could understand that, if she was a reincarnation of a young Sophia Loren, but that is certainly not the case... ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

They didn't bother because it is obvious and it's funnier to just say that it's awesome. I think out of tune vocals are pretty common in pop, the weird thing about that is that the producer didn't bother covering it up with vocoder/autotune then delay. Check this one out, it's unbearable and a pretty popular song: Also the Cranberries singer sounds extremely out of tune in most of their songs. Lots of reverb or delay though. Sharon del Adel (Within Temptation, but also sings dance music) sounds pretty out of tune to me, but is usually covered up by lots of effects. Same with Madonna. Actually a lot of people like Within Temptation and she has also influenced a lot of amazing singers who do sing on-key, so maybe she's not that bad. But in any case, it seems a lot of slightly out of key stuff is often tolerated and liked, comes up sometimes in blues and also certain styles of traditional music, sometimes rock as well. |
