vlad is grossly obsessed with aaliyah/r kelly. every time he interviews someone he'll find a way to bring them up and it's usually to slight. he could interview E-40 and they'll make their way into the convo

Aaliyah had a beautiful voice, but chose a certain style which set her apart from the other girls.

That style, while still beautiful was not the popular sound in the 90's. Back then the divas were expected to hoot and holler on every Diane Warren power ballad. If you didn't, haters would say you couldn't sing.

Aaliyah had a beautiful head and chest voice. Never understood why people said she couldn't sing.

because for most, to sing was to hoot and holler. Still is. Also because she hadn't learned to control her voice live (on stage, because she slayed an impromptu one on one acapella) which on TOP of not hooting and hollering sat her down more notches on people sang scale

not many know or respect the actual technicalities and variables of singing

I remember Aaliyah saying she didn't like the recording process with Darkchild. She said she likes to take her time and he tried to rush her.

I think Brandy X Darkchild was perfect for NSN. I know it really helped Bran to be the vocalist she is today.

Aaliyah is a good studio singer. Her live vocals have never impressed me tho. She darkens her tone more and her delivery is never as polished. But I do commend her for always singing live.

s

um ... she never got a chance to polish those vocals babe :dead:

that takes time, but I haven't listened, but I'm sure what he's saying is she had an exceptional natural voice with all of the potential in the world

and that's exactly right. The whole "aaliyah can't sing" narrative was always dumb af, and as usual, blacks or "niggers" were the ones spewing it

Or it coulda regressed like Monica, Mariah, Alicia and plenty other female vocalists. Dont get me wrong, u'll never hear me say Aaliyah cant sing cause her voice was beautiful. Her studio vocals were just always better. And Brandy at 21 n before has delivered solid vocals live. Lets not.

Well we don't know wtf it would've been, that's my point.  Aaliyah has delivered solid vocals as well, just scattered. And after her Debut, Brandy's live vocals WERE NOT good,  sorry :dead:
She didn't come back around until much later

Key word here is decent and I agree. Im not impressed by decent performances. And we cant blame ppl for judging her for what she gave when she was alive. She was decent live and very good in the studio.

Aaliyah was a good singer
nothing amazing but good. Beautiful tone, especially her head voice. wide range from low to high
and decent amount of power when she belted. I dont think she "held back" she just paced herself
its not good to compare with Bran because she was always exceptional vocally. Even during NSN when her voice got thin and hoarse a lot
she was still a smart enough musician and vocalist to sing around those issues and sound pleasant

That's what I was thinking. Brandy wasn't an appropriate comparison. Aaliyah always seemed to have great control of her voice though.

I'm not understanding why this is so difficult to grasp. Her debut vocals were stellar then she had some inconsistent vocals during NSN. She's NEVER sounded bad tho.

I will say, u did like ADC on Jay Leno. She did that. Similar to Aaliyahs One I gave my heart to on MTV. One in a Damn million INDEED! But not consistently good at all and DEFINITELY not great :omf:

i mean guys ... why is this even still a thing in 2020

the girl was SANGING at like 6 and 7 years old

we're not gonna act like her voice for her age wasn't "amazing"  :plzstop:

she was doing everything vocally Usher & Mya was doing at that age right? :dead: ... ok then
Exacltlt, and I those are more appropriate comparisons.

and let's get this straight finally

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

she was EXTREMELY nervous @ 19 as a young black girl performing for the Oscars

but what she did from 1:40 forward was AMAZING. The power and clarity of her belts.
I think we forget that they used to just PLOP these kids into adult settings and say slay  :dead:

truth is Aaliyah was an excellent vocalist

Brandy literally started being known as a bad singer BECAUSE of the NSN era.  No one said brandy couldn't sing before that.  That's why she developed stage fright and why she stopped singing live.  It's really plain as day.  She went from never lip synching to really only being completely comfortable IF She could  lip synch

Every single singer out there has had bad vocal performances. The voice isn't always going to be a perfect instrument and that's the beauty of it. As an Adult, Brandy is a beast more often than anything else and that's a testament to her abilities and training

How many times do we have to spell out that she SANG during the self-titled era and before it?

Your point was that people didn't know Brandy could sing based on NSN lives and we agree. We're saying that if they dug into her pre NSN lives they would have seen otherwise. And her NSN vocals were never bad, just not up to par with what she could do. What's not clicking?

If Brandy died at 22, she wouldn't have been a SINGER at that point imo either.  Her live performances used to be quite bad
But she had SINGER performances prior to her current state at that time. Out of 3 eras, at least one should be able to solidify this.

I can see how Aaliyah may have not had as much chemistry with Rodney in the studio by stating that she likes to take her time and not be rushed. Brandy is very agile and can get her shit done spot on and quickly. Monica I can see singing a whole verse and being done with it. Aaliyah is not the most agile even as an adult. But I wish we coulda hear them do a couple tracks together.

"I'd leave the studio for a minute and come back and she would have completed the whole song" Missy Elliot, who worked with Aaliyah more than any producer, told Vibe. "She worked really hard that way."

Aaliyah was a good singer
nothing amazing but good. Beautiful tone, especially her head voice. wide range from low to high
and decent amount of power when she belted. I dont think she "held back" she just paced herself
its not good to compare with Bran because she was always exceptional vocally. Even during NSN when her voice got thin and hoarse a lot
she was still a smart enough musician and vocalist to sing around those issues and sound pleasant
