>>
>>130040835

Who would match this voice?

Nobody these days.

Unironically, Ironmouse the vtuber, especially when you reach the latter half of the song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOS-e2d-cM


>Ironmouse originally planned to pursue a career as a coloratura soprano opera singer, but was diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), an immune disorder that has left her largely bedridden and isolated. It has also led to a lung infection called mycobacterium avium complex as she revealed in 2021.[6]
>>
>>130042219
Why is she putting on an uwu kawaii anime voice while singing it sounds like shit
>>
>>130042256
That's just her actual voice ever since her lungs got infected
>>
>>130042219
lmao theater kid singing
>>
>>130042256
Anon...

>Ironmouse's distinctive, high-pitched speaking voice is the result of a lung infection stemming from common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) which also resulted in her being on oxygen support 24/7; she has remarked that some people have refused to take her seriously because of her voice, and that some fellow streamers have been shocked to find out that it was her real voice, and not being manipulated with a voice changer.[7][12]

>>130042288
It seems kind of in between musical theater and opera.
>>
>>130042297
I mean she's singing in the normal female vocal range. I feel like it'd work better for some jap shit with operatic singing rather than traditional orchestral music honestly.
>>
you can tell if a music powerhouse does exist today they're just gonna make cringy tiktoks demonstrating their talent but not songwriting themselves, that or doing metal probably
>>
>>130042367
Most metal singers are not that great desu. Even in like power metal where all of the singing is more operatic.
>>
>>130040868
Ejae singing a non kpop demon hunters song

>>130042415
Autotune
>>
>>130042456
she is starting to sing live again, but they haven't asked the Kpop Demon Hunters singers to sing songs other than Golden and she's not used to singing live since she mainly writes songs for other people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBV2X2E9tek

https://youtu.be/QGsevnbItdU?si=UjWNrpeWWcYZEuB0&t=137

i hope she keeps returning with new material and practising so we can hear her voice more
>>
>>130042539
Those vocals are alright. It's better than the processed stuff but they could definitely work on their technique.
>>
>>130040835
seriously though, where are they? even the modern ones i can think of like ariana grande and cynthia erivo in Wicked and adele are last decade
>>
>>130040835
Can't believe this shit's twenty years old... Damn...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PmDByN9AZ0U

Where are the male vocal powerhouses nowadays? Surely Sebastian Bach can't be the most recent popular one
>>
>>130043111
Of course he’s not, retard
>>
Nicole Scherzinger actually has impeccable range. She just has to be sexy 100 percent of the time tho so it overshadows

The Greta Van Fleet singer has great range like the band or not

There's a Journey tribute band called Departure. They've actually done "Oh Sherrie" live and the dude nailed it.
>>
>>130044278
she is like a bird!

I wish the current crop of popgirls this decade had a vocal powerhouse among them. They're good at singing, but they don't show sheer power
>>
Who the fuck cares
Technically good vocalists like Houston or Dion don't make good music
>>
ari is still best this decade. no new popgirly can top her

Do you want me to name every single one after Sebastian Bach? I would hit the character limit.
>>
>>130046453
go ahead, i will have more beautiful musicians to listen to
>>
>>130040835
Vocal powehouse is just the singing equivalent of some fag pointlessly guitar noodling. Technically good but lacking soul.

90s: whitney, mariah, celine

That's a very good point. A lot of potential standout talents are lost to the landfill hell of social media because they don't know any better and they don't have any proper coaching/guidance to get them to do some actual work that could stand the test of time. It's fucked up.
>>
>>130040835
a lot of ''talented singers'' get into these niches of doing vocals for edm tracks or symphonic metal where they're treated as disposable (feat.) instead of having their own albums and shit like that. it's a weird kind of pigeonholing. the music industry has proven that these singers don't really need to write their own stuff in order to make their mark, but it seems like the labels and producers themselves don't really want to bother with that kind of profile anymore. to cite an example, i guess chappell roan can sing fairly well even if the music itself isn't that great but the vast majority of what gets pushed has vocalists coasting or doing the breathy sort of sensual singing instead. who else got popular through her singing ability in the last 10 years? laufey? kali uchis? jorja smith?

>>130045977
I hate the waifu posters, but yeah unironically. She has pipes. More 00-10s than 20s tho.
>>
>>130049852

>>
>>130049852
adele, ariana and kelly clarkson are all s tier
>>
>>130054230
>ariana
i saw wicked on a whim and the opening with ariana with theatre sound was amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfOkv-Iv5a8

especially since she does that high note in the movie

And who in pop can currently match

Don't worry, Eurovision usually provides a few ballads every year
