You mean the "belting"?
I guess so, different strokes for different folks. I LOVE the big vocal....belting, runs, riffs, growls, grunts, scats, trills...the works! Whatever you can make your voice do. I also love the soft melodic vocal from the ppl that can capture that mood....but still turn it up later on when necessary & bring it on home. Not no weak ass fragile vocal that can't do nothing but stay montone. I guess I can make an exception if its carried by a hot beat (that's if their voice ain't lost in it). love is a fate resigned memories mar my mind love it is a fate resigned Over futile odds and laughed at by the Gods and now the final frame Love is a losing game |

Wouldn't classical music in pop format be the most accessible? | |

please explain. the book 'waking up in iceland' can explain better than i can in a post. you should track the book down and read it sometime. i'm a little afraid to explain how i perceived iceland from reading this book, cuz purplehippie's gonna come in here and say "YOU STUPID AMERICAN, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!!!"
but from what i understood from the book, iceland is such a small country, it doesn't make sense to ape what's popular because there really aren't enough venues to humor soundalike bands. it's a simple matter of good business sense to be as unusual and unique as possible. it's less about being rebellious or transgressive than it is about drawing a crowd. individuality is a matter of practicality, and it's just an understood part of the music scene. it makes total sense that bjork came from that kind of a culture. | |

So their small society urges the individual to be original and not a mere follower of a certain trend? | |

Ah, I gotcha. Conservative relative to where she comes from, not as what we know of as conservative. exactly. though i think that relative to ANY culture, there's a practicality to her music that is overshadowed by the fact that her end result sounds so unusual. you know this - she can be questioned about anything she's done in any of her songs, and she ALWAYS has a well thought-out answer that actually makes a lot of sense. not that all her interview answers in GENERAL always make sense, but that's another story... | |

theAudience said: vainandy said: I love screaming but it has to sound like it came spontaneous and naturally, like the singer was absolutely feeling the song. If the screams are planned, they end up sounding like somebody trying really hard to win on "Amateur Night At The Apollo".
Dig out some James Brown... 
...Live At The Apollo (1963) That's the flip side of "Amateur Night".
Footnote: Not only did he scream, but he taught the audience how to scream properly.

...but going back 2 the subject of singers sounding like they R in a talent show, and over-blowing all the time... No sense of building the emotion through dynamics, etc...
Just listen 2 Mary Mary's "Yesterday"... Sounds like there R some singers out there, doing it right... 1st U must look at this thread: http://www.prince.org/msg/8/209712 Find the song. Listen 2 it, if U haven't yet heard it. Peace. [Edited 11/28/06 17:29pm] "He's a musician's musician..." |
