Famous Singers' Vocal Evolution (Or downfall...)

All my socials, music & courses:

Edited by Martin Olsson

Christina is actually in her second vocal prime. Yes, sometimes she sounds tired like in this particular performance. But she is in much better shape than 10 years ago and her tone is richer than ever. She has delivered a lot of great vocals in recent years.

[Justlov]

It is sad to see some of the older singers falling out. They are talented but you can tell the instruments (voice) are wearing out. But some sound really great in terms of tone.

[Alteusgirl]

Bon Jovi has not sang the high note of living on a prayer in decades he always does the : "letting others sing it". He apparently cannot do it anymore

[janalock]

I think the era in which the songs came out also influence the performance. When Genie in a bottle came out, that airy, head voice, breathy sound was very popular. Now she can play around with tone and range and show of her vocals.

[Jah_LEASE_yah]

Ed is way more comfortable on stage in the new performance then in the old one. You can tell young Ed was very nervous.

Christina gained back her entire range(minus belting range). Improved her vibrato, her lows became much richer, and got her agility back. The only thing she’s not better at is belting and I’m honestly tired of people acting like belting is the definitive factor of how great a singer is. She can do dynamics, has the best falsetto in the industry and delivered some of her best vocals ever during the Liberation tour in 2018/2019. She’s gotten so much better but people don’t see that because they think you have to be able to belt high to be good.

[Thersyl]

He wasn't in the clip, but Sting still sounds great, I've recently seen him live and boy he's still got it even 40 years later!

[walleclyde]

The thing about Livin' on a prayer is that 30 years have passed, and Bon Jovi's songs aren't easy on vocal cords. So he was apt to not be "good" after so many years.

[emmanuelmabuange]

Joel aggressively pressing the buzzer has to be made into a meme😤

[hannasuszko]

This is very sad, I don't know, it doesn't seem quite right to me to judge so harshly the quality of a singer's voice when he is already old. OBVIOUSLY they will not have the same performance like come on they are OLD. It's normal they don't sound like they did 30 years ago...

[Bexinmo]

Bon Jovi is still amazing, if not as a singer, as a human. He has been married to the same woman for 30+ years, he owns a restaurant that helps feed the poor (it's pay what you can), he's not into drugs or alcohol, he's never had a scandal, he's just been a really good person. So what if his voice hasn't aged well, he's still a rockstar in my book.

[daydreamer]

Adele's voice aged like a fine wine fr. It has got a husky texture to it and now she's way more confident with it. The agility in the upper belts improved as well

[SimplCup]

9:55 the best impression from Joel so far. That sounded wonderful!

[lilme]

joel being really energetic for almost 12 min lol

[jack.blaise]

Ed Sheeran was always amazing, and he has only grown as a singer and storyteller.

[wellimagamer]

You should of seen the Bongo Guy at Paul Simon's show at central park in 1991, he was amazing

[hannahp]

I actually really liked that arrangement of Livin on a prayer. Like, sure, Jon Bon Jovi doesn't have the same vocal range that he did 30 years ago, but at least they can do the song in a way that makes it sound really good.

[robi]

Bobby Kimball suffers from dementia and developed hearing loss over the years, this (2019) was one of his last performances.
I think making fun of him in this stage is not really fair.

[snapcracklepop]

That clip of Xtina is like 4 years old. They should have used her singing in the billboard music awards earlier this year.

[brandt]

Who thought it would be a good idea to give Joel that button😂? Great and crazy video btw!
