    It’s just a little thing but I love how Sam said he doesn’t do the growling thing because he’s not good at it. Idk most KZreadrs I’ve watched (and voice teachers I’ve met!) don’t like to admit when they’re just not good at something, which is completely & perfectly human. It reminds me that you might have a couple things you aren’t the best at but it doesn’t mean you’re not still great.

    What I learned is that Christina knows the technique but she knows her voice so well that she just throws the manual away and focuses on producing the sounds that she wants. In the end, if she's not hurting her voice it's a matter of whether you agree with her style choices, but maybe her voice should come with a warning label "do not attempt at home" LOL

    Her natural speaking voice is much lighter than her singing voice. She likes to sing in the back of her throat and darken her tone(make it sound bigger and moodier). She has an amazing head voice, and has amazing control in her head voice. Overall I’ll agree, she’s knows her instrument, but she loves to distort it. If she really focused on what you said about her higher notes, her voice and delivery would be very similar to Whitney Houston. They have a lot of similarities.

Christina’s rasp is fake... she’s been faking her voice since her debut irl her voice is soft and clear and feminine she just does it because of stylistic purposes and also because of singers who has influenced her singing (etta james). Whitney was a mezzo soprano. Christina is also a mezzo soprano.

    xMantra Ns i agree with what you said but both Whitney and Xtina are soprano, at least 85s whitney - a rare sqinto soprano. Xtina got her fake thick voice by lower her larynx, whitney did put her larynx low but with good technique while for Xtina, she overdo it but it's a stylistic choice. Their timbre are both beautiful due to bel canto but Whitney is a legend with way more better techniques / stylistic choice which influence younger generations include Xtina a lots.

    I think it's obvious she can sing but her style precisely is what isn't everyone's cup of tea. For me personally, I feel like sometimes she exaggerates too much in a sense that the songs stop being songs, but rather tools for her to show off her voice. Almost as though the whole feel and the soul and the story of a song is never in focus as much as her voice is. I cannot listen to her for more than 5 minutes, exaggerated runs she does can often feel unpleasant and unnecessary to me, but that doesn't mean that anyone can deny her being a good singer.

For so many years I've kept hearing how Christina's technique is so terrible but here we are all these years later and she still sounds great whereas someone like Mariah Carey or, before her death, Whitney Houston who were master technicians at their craft completely lost their voices so maybe what shes doing isn't so bad.

    She has a great instrument. Im suprised its lasted so long really, but I guess thats just a testament to how good her instrument is and that she does care for it to some extent. Clearly she knows what technical singing is but she also knows it would cost her her signature sound which I guess I can respect. The best aspect of her voice, apart from her immense agility, is her timbre. Her timbre is quite something. Full of color and character and thats why she gets away with so much.

    The amazement she's brought to us is that she's not restricted into one mode or one style. You can check her duet with Tony Bennet on 'Steppin' Out With My Baby' or 'A Song for You' with Herbie Hancock. I think that's the tone and 'technique' you're looking for. But it is her style and mind to pull every heart out on stage that made her who she is today and the person we love and admire. I selfishly wish she could sing as she did back in 2006, but I do respect her choice.

    Have you heard of Darci Lynne? She was 12 when she competed on America's Got Talent and won. Her talent was to sing while performing ventriloquism. I'd be really interested in your thoughts as to how she's able to sing so well without moving her mouth all that much, nor even showing a whole lot of tension from her neck.

    @jvalex18 "as a ventriloquism". Sir/Ma'am. It's ventriloquist. Second she's amazing for a girl who self taught herself for two years before going onto AGT, her story was not a 'sob story' as you say it is. She was a shy girl who found something that opened her up. Second sure AGT winners (And none winners) get shit from the contracts, but she deserved her win. Two years worth of practice for something that is considered impossible to most. You have no right to say she wasn't good as a ventriloquist unless you yourself are one, which I very highly doubt. If she was so bad why is she praised by people like Jeff Dunham and Terry Fator, don't you dare say it's because of her age, not all celebrities are that shallow. She earned her win and the money she got from it.

I remember when BTS went to his show and he introduced each of the members by their Korean names, with near-perfect pronunciation. NONE of other British/American TV hosts have ever done that. James really goes that extra step to treat his guests with all the respect and warmth they could ask for from a talk show host.

    That’s not a bad song but I wanted to add even more suggestions; for many of them, I think a lot of people wouldn’t even know the artist was Christina if they just heard the song independently. She can be a dozen different people with her voice. But anyway, if you want a totally raw, vulnerable representation of her voice, which is actually rather soft, quiet, and feminine in its neutral state (just like her talking voice), I recommend the following: Save Me From Myself Say Something Birds of Prey I Am I’m Ok I Turn To You Without You Tell Me You Lost Me Oh Mother

    Watched a ton of xtina reaction vids. I must say, your commentary was fair, balanced, and constructive. It didn't sound dogmatic like your usual classically-trained vocalists looking down on Pop Vocal Queen Xtina. As a long time, there is a big vocal change from her debut album and Christmas album to her Stripped album. And I think, it was at this point when she really experimented with her sound and voice. She collaborated with pop rock artists (Linda Perry, Dave Navarro) and hiphop/RnB (Scott Storch). When recording Beautiful, Linda famously kept stopping her from doing the soft melismas and influenced her to embrace a more gritty imperfect vocal. I guess, in retrospect, it worked for her. I mean, she has one of the most distinct voices in pop and music in general. Younger vocalists and even comedian voice impersonators attribute a style of singing to her (from Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, to the Malea Ema (the girl who sang the US National Anthem). Loved this review. As you've said, Xtina knows how to reign it in. Check out her live performance of I Love You Porgy on youtube. Also, listen to her deep cuts - Save Me From Myself, I Am, Pipe, and Twice for her lower registers and soft belts.

Christina was around the same age when her grammy tribute to James Brown was voted as the third greatest grammy performance of all time.

She is the 2010's Aguilera/Carey/Spears with overly involved vocals and liberal use of vocal runs. She is just the new version.

Britney is not included in the category of vocalists, so why even bring her up? Christina was the youngest singer to be included in Rolling Stones greatest vocalists of all time list, at around the same age as Ariana. She is synonymous with the nickname "Voice of a generation", her worldwide acclaim from legends such as Mick Jagger, Etta James, Whitney Houston, Axl Rose, reputable publications, from the people themselves is something Ariana has never achieved. They were both the same age when Christina made her most recognizable achievements. Ariana is not very popular when comparing her to Mariah, Christina, and Whitney.

    @@hahahoho6606 I brought Britney up because of my original comment. I'm not saying Ariana Grande is better than Mariah or Christina. I'm saying they are similar stylistically, and that she is this generation's equivalent. Not that they are equal in palette necessarily. It takes a few second to find the 11-19 year old demographic comparing Ariana to Christina and Mariah. There are so many videos referring to them as washed up, incorrectly so. They are culturally irrelevant now regardless of their collective and respective catalogs. That is my overall intent behind the original comment. Also, why bring up Whitney then ask why I brought up Britney? Whitney Houston (may she rest in peace) isn't around to comment on Ariana. We will never know what she would have said or thought. Ariana can't have the praise of the deceased. It's kind of an unfair statement. As much of a shock as this may be, I do not like Ariana Grande. Not in the least. But I can't deny what place she holds for the younger generation regardless of my personal feelings. She may not be on the same tier, and likely will never be, but, that does not uproot the fact that she has taken the spot of the powerhouses that have come before her. It's a natural progression.

You stress often in your critiques that this is what you THINK the singer is doing, vs. simply making judgements based on your preferences. You frequently show us that you can sing well, but you're also candid about what you can't do, and what you're currently trying to improve. Your critiques are all the more valuable simply because you're honest about yourself. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us!
