Quote from: ophababes. on July 18, 2024, 05:44:04 PMyall need to realize what constitutes as the "vocal bible" is SUBJECTIVE. some ppl think it revolves around belting, some ppl think it revolves around voice control. NO ONE is "right". so if she think bran aint the vocal bible, LET HER. vvcvvv its all subjective. get over it bbys.
Brandy was given her title for a reason, and dismissing it because she isn't a belter shows a lack of understanding. Critics who do this are simply jumping on the bandwagon of hate. If people knew the original intention behind her title, there would be no confusion or misinterpretation.
People are allowed to disagree and have an opinion...but to have an opinion based on an assumption of what you THINK the title means and not knowing what it was intended to mean is silly.
If someone wants to say she's not The Vocal Bible because her vocal style isn't the most intricate or nuanced, that I would accept (even if I disagree) because at least you have some understanding as to what the title represents. But saying she isn't because she's not a belter just shows how the term just completely goes over their heads and they equate belting to being supreme because they are casual listeners who don't know music.
There is no point in people having their own criteria for what a Vocal Bible is because they term never even existed before it was coined for Brandy. People just need to get tf over it.
