not like the kinds of variations you see in advanced metal

2017-04-02 23:20:28 UTC  

which song vry_o

2017-04-02 23:20:29 UTC  

but structurally it's there if you pay attention

2017-04-02 23:20:48 UTC  

this has more in common with reign in blood slayer

2017-04-02 23:20:54 UTC  

than it does garth brooks

2017-04-02 23:20:59 UTC  

which is pretty funny considering

2017-04-02 23:21:35 UTC  

the Don McLean guy sings good

2017-04-02 23:21:37 UTC  

real good

2017-04-02 23:21:58 UTC  

he sung that chipper song American Pie

2017-04-02 23:22:04 UTC  

that was him?

2017-04-02 23:22:10 UTC  

yes, that's his most popular song

2017-04-02 23:22:14 UTC  

he needs to stop sliding

2017-04-02 23:22:18 UTC  

..pretty much his only song in fact

2017-04-02 23:22:21 UTC  

if he simply fixed that one thing I'd give him 10/10

2017-04-02 23:22:58 UTC  

like... if we're actually going to talk singing for a sec, it boils down to this

2017-04-02 23:23:14 UTC  

there is classical singing, which is master race but is essentially technical rather than expressive

2017-04-02 23:23:33 UTC  

so all good singers fundamentally do the same thing as classical singers, but what defines them is their divergences in technique

2017-04-02 23:23:41 UTC  

in this guy's case he likes to slide a lot, as one major difference

2017-04-02 23:24:46 UTC  

so really when assessing a singer I basically ask, "does this person have the capacity for classical singing?" and if the answer is yes, "Do their divergences from it help or harm their sound/expression?"

2017-04-02 23:25:08 UTC  

and then there's little stuff like a person's natural timbre but I generally don't hold it against people

2017-04-02 23:25:18 UTC  
2017-04-02 23:25:31 UTC  

this guy also keeps his soft palate a bit more tense to try to sound more like a tenor than a baritone

2017-04-02 23:25:36 UTC  

evidently a powerful singer, but makes choices i wouldn't think to

2017-04-02 23:25:37 UTC  

which is fine, I have no problem with it

2017-04-02 23:25:38 UTC  

YES

2017-04-02 23:25:53 UTC  

works well in my opinion

2017-04-02 23:26:08 UTC  

along with the steel guitar, totally changes the emotion of the song

2017-04-02 23:26:20 UTC  

well yeah, that is another thing I tend to judge on

2017-04-02 23:26:26 UTC  

how good do they play their accompaniment

2017-04-02 23:26:54 UTC  

if they are going all alexi laiho and their singing is B+ then I forgive it

2017-04-02 23:27:10 UTC  

that's actually my opinion of dave matthews actually

2017-04-02 23:27:35 UTC  

Home on the Range [stands] ;_;7 🌻

2017-04-02 23:27:38 UTC  

his guitar playing is surprisingly intricate and on point, so I forgive some vocal faults

2017-04-02 23:28:53 UTC  

either way that don mclean guy sounds more likely than not to have put away 8 hour days working on his voice

2017-04-02 23:29:04 UTC  
2017-04-02 23:29:07 UTC  

oops wrong link

2017-04-02 23:29:09 UTC  

h/o

2017-04-02 23:29:25 UTC  

falsetto should have been way more common

2017-04-02 23:29:35 UTC  

yes
