Hey guys welcome to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is in the
singing. I got quite a few requests to do this a
vocal coach react to 5 unrealistically hard vocals that are not
made for the singers. So let's just dive right in, haven't seen it yet so let's
check it out together here we go.
Mariah Carey up to plate.
Was that an A. Yeah (sings) I mean it's high but it's not that high. Especially for a girl so I don't
know why that's unrealistically high. Says studio version so was she
lip-synching I guess. Yeah probably.
So she's a half-tone lower than
(sings).
G sharp 5.
(sings)
I mean again guys in my singing course, by the way this isn't just a plug for
the course. For myself I actually warm up as a baritone, I warm up all the way to a
c6 every day I sing for at least an hour or warm-up for an hour a day. I sing four,
five, six hours a day, every day five, six days a week but I warm up to this all
the time. So for me I just don't think it's that high. So anyway but let's
continue.
She could sing a lot higher than that so I think it's kind of unfair so far in
this video. I know it's cool and it's kind of fun going whoa you know she's
not so super human after all. She actually was pretty superhuman. She.. I
know she sets a vocal trouble later in life but she was pretty superhuman
supernaturally human but anyway let's go. Demi Lovato "Fall In Line" so this is the
Christina Aguilera piece. I just did this, we just released this tune "Fall In Line"
it's a good tune, hard tune to do. I did it with Xiomara Crystal. Check it out.
Fact I'll put that in the description so you can check out our version of this. We
kind of did a couple of gnarly notes at the end and whatnot. So check it out and tell us,
let let me know what you think here we go.
Again that's
that's not that high.
Okay. Whoever's putting these videos together they're definitely skewing them
to say whatever they want them to say. So these notes are not necessarily that
high for these singers guys. Yes there's conditioning but there's also like I
don't know if she was coming off a chest cold or you know a nasal thing or bad
sleep or a lot of travel or you know just whatever just body fatigue you know
whatever but these notes aren't necessarily high for these singers and
they're not unrealistically high to sing. I do it every day so as a baritone so
surely they can do these as female singing this stuff. So anyway let's
continue.
In some ways it's almost like to make fun of them a little bit but.
Yeah I mean I guess I guess if you haven't warmed up and you didn't try
those notes in advance. I don't know that I would have gone for those notes to
humiliate myself on stage like that or maybe she just took a chance and missed
I don't know but again this is pretty skewed because I .. they wouldn't have
it in there if they didn't think they could do it night after night so.
See so if she dodges it so the second time she knew that she couldn't do it
she couldn't pull it off so that's alright. I mean it's not the end of the
world right and I'm not sticking up for her I'm just kind of saying I should
stick up for her but.
That doesn't sound lip-sync to me this is fully lip but listen, let's listen
closely to that guys. I'm.. you know like I said this video is kind of throwing down
making a lot of accusations on a lot of singers and I'm not saying that they
don't deserve some of this for sure but I don't think that was lip-sync guys cause
there's some some tuning issues in the voice and if you're if you're recording
something and it's spot on in the studio and you're doing this live I don't think
it would sound this bad.
Okay that's fully live so. Cause you can hear the breath.
Okay I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go.. I'm sorry. I'm gonna go way back I started to
jump around. I'm gonna go back to two minutes and eight seconds in the video
and listen to this one more time.
Here we go.
Okay yeah maybe it was because I didn't hear any breath and the vocal on that microphone
does sound like a studio mic but it's weird because whatever the other note
she did, she didn't sing at that great in the studio so it kind of made me wonder
if it was lip-sync. Maybe it is okay I gave her give them credit for that.
She's out of breath.
Ok she ducked it.
It's not that hard of a note. So I'm surprised that they're ducking it.
Guys if you go back and you listen to a lot of this stuff too, like in the last
couple things. This is pretty auto-tune so it's kind of like let's take another
listen to that because who even knows what notes she really sang and
the engineer just decided oh that's gonna be an F5 right. Listen
closely to some of this stuff.
I you know again really listen here we go
See on that (sings) that lick right there is so auto-tuned it can't even grab the blues
note to differentiate what note it's supposed to re-present. So I don't even
know if she ever sang the F5 for all I know you know. In the studio much less live.
Okay you know like I said some of this stuff these package deals of putting a
lot of these girls and bands and stuff. I can't speak for what they really sound
like. By the way at Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy and this is yes a plug for my course.
We talk about all this stuff. We use zero auto-tune zero. If they can't do it
we do it over and over and over again or we just don't do the song. Now I know in
today's technology, everybody uses it and so it's almost like the normal thing to
do. To me that's not gonna grow your voice, it's not gonna help make you
better. So if you're just getting a computer and you're pretending it's like
an actor who thinks he's you know Superman or something and then all of a
sudden starts walking around yeah maybe I really am Superman you know when you
didn't really sing the note you didn't you didn't, you're not Superman you're an
actor for crying out loud. Let's just kind of call it what it is alright, alright
here we go.
That is strained.
Whoever put this video together they're just trying to be brutal. That's
okay cause this is pretty funky but they definitely had it out, they wanted to
make their point and so they created a video to you know make a statement and
then convince people of their argument that these vocals are too hard to
sing, they're not too hard to sing. We do it all the time at KTVA.
Nice boots though. Or are those leg socks. Leg socks sorry.
Boy they're really picking on her aren't they.
Anyway. Alright you guys I just wanted to do this. Okay so I've reacted to your
unrealistically, they are actually very realistic and these notes are not that
hard to sing and if I were to pick out a couple of the singers that can do them
it would have been Mariah, definitely Christina and some others that can sing
this stuff and and then some. So they might have had a bad night or or I know
you're making your case for how you know these are unrealistically hard, they're
not. Anyway if you like what you heard please like and subscribe to my channel
