Most music is auto-tuned these days. There are no homely girls on the pop charts.

There are a couple, I think. Country charts, however...

All the auto-tunin' on earth doesn't help Taylor Swift.

I can't stand the auto tune. It gives me a headache right when I hear it.

She sounds so out of breath...

Happy Monkey · 06-30-2009, 12:51 PM

She's dancing, and only singing in order to easier maintain the lip synch. A pre-autotune voice track from the studio would be a better test of her voice.

Clodfobble · 06-30-2009, 04:09 PM

Yeah, I defy anyone to sing and dance like that at the same time. You can't bend down and touch your toes while you're singing, it changes the shape of your diaphragm. There is no such thing as a performer who dances aerobically and sings live. She's not bothering because she knows it's lip-synched.

Sundae · 06-30-2009, 04:20 PM

While I agree mostly with you Clod (re sotto singing to match lip-synch) I have to point out that many, many talented musical performers sing and dance aerobically. Even less talented ones (my two ex-housemates who performed on cruise ships for example).

Okay they get far longer breaks between the combined singing and dancing thanks to talky bits and/ or a change of cast for different numbers, but they do manage to do it.

dar512 · 06-30-2009, 04:20 PM

Like HM, I'd like to hear a pre tuned version of her singing.

But that's just to prove a point. I'm not that impressed with the post-processed stuff. There's a lot better pop-tarts out there now.

I guess what I really mean is bending and crawling a lot, the stuff that looks like what is referred to as "aerobics" exercise here in the US. You can do a lot of prancing and spinning and such, as long as your torso is relatively straight. But bending over in the middle of a lyric (a la 2:30 in the video) just isn't happening.

Sundae · 06-30-2009, 05:23 PM

I get what you're saying.

Musical theatre is choreographed to take this into account - something I hadn't really appreciated before, seeing only the hard work of rehearsal and from a performing side.
Bending and crawling and furious dancing do happen, but not at times when real belting out is needed. Makes sense - her choreographers don't need to work within the same boundaries. Both look effortless, but one is carefully planned to fit around real singing and the other is planned for maximum visual effect.

Tulip · 06-30-2009, 11:47 PM

So, y'all are saying if there's that much dancing involved, then the singers aren't really singing live at concerts???

Clodfobble · 07-01-2009, 08:56 AM

I'd venture to say a decent number aren't really singing live even if there isn't any dancing involved.
