Taylor/JLo/Selena/Britney: Most Vocally Challenged?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Selena songs spans about 3 notes and she still can't stay on key in her own chorus. The best is Taylor.

Tbh out of the bunch Britney is undoubtedly the best one, she just lacks training and coaching in recent times but her voice still has strength and a nice tone, her belts still sound alright and they don't lack power.

 

Taylor can sing, but she is vocally lazy and she uses the same delivery and doesn't even try to hit somewhat high vocals since rep, it's kinda upsetting that she's not experimenting with her voice like she used to because i feel many TTPD songs could benefit from a little more vocal boldness.

 

Sel is my girl, but due to lupus her voice has worsened a lot after Rare, she used to have some nice live vocal moments consistently during 2011-2014 and honestly her voice was pleasing to the ears, but her belts always lacked resonance and power.

 

Jlo improved a lot since her early days but I never liked her voice because it feels like she lacks something, but she's an amazing dancer so she doesn't need vocals and honestly, her improvement says a lot about her work ethic, she's very dedicated.

 

Tbh I'd say Britney>Taylor=Young Selena>Jlo>Current day Selena

yeah this

 

Selena had some cute moments here and there a few years back that even not being perfect, she could hold some tunes, most of the Rock God and AYWR performances prove this. Sadly I don't think she can't even record them on studio these days, lupus killed her voice in ways I didn't believe it was possible

Britney could sing when she was younger but like dancing, she abandonded all training and improving 20 years ago. Taylor is ok and can carry a tune. JLo and Selena can barely carry a tune and I also find their tone deeply unpleasant.

Tbh everything was fine until 2019 and I'd even argue she improved her singing skills in 2017-2018 even tho we barely have live vocals to back it up, her studio recordings were some of her best and she seemed to understand her voice's strengths and how to properly use it.

 

After Past Life everything went downhill, since then she sounds throaty and her enunciation is beyond terrible, I hope this is a temporary side effect of Lupus or her meds because it hurts me so much...

Please
Are you all still using this weird website as confirmation of whether someone can sing or not? I have to laugh. This is a random blog, not a professional website

 

OT: Jennifer Lopez

Exactly this.

 

I have nothing against Selena but she is definitely the « worst » one

Posted

In terms of the best voices, it's objectively: Britney >> Taylor >>>>> J. Lo >>>>>>>>>> Selena.

 

J. Lo used to be the most abysmal, but she got shamed and worked on herself.

Posted

Taylor is the strongest, what she lacks in vocal agility she makes up for in cadence and emotion

In 2024, the best to worst is Taylor >>> Britney > JLo > Selena

 

OTH can grumble all they want but vocals from the Eras shows have all been consistently quite good, and she has a lower register that's basically unmatched by anyone else. 

Posted

I'd still listen to any of these 4 every day before I'd listen to the "vocalists" the bottoms here praise. 

 

As my elderly mother said while listening to Midnights on a drive, "It's so nice to not have a singer screaming at me!"

You are making me choose Taylor, She's not good but she's not that bad like Britney o Selena

Posted (edited)

Before lupus took over:

Taylor > Selena = Jlo > Britney

(At least Selena and Jlo tried). 

 

this is good. it's a good vocal performance. As it was during basically all Revival performances. 

 

Now Selena is basically not a singer anymore so she wouldn't belong to this voting list since yep, even speak has been hard for her with that amout of medication. I personally don't even know how she's still in the game, i wouldn't even bother if i was her. 

 

The thing with Ms Spears with all due respect to the pop legend that she is, is that i won't analize happy birthday performances.

I ******* SCREAMED :bibliahh:

The answer is Selena.

 

The only reason Britney can stay "on key" is because she doesn't even sing live.

 

:rip:

 

Like hello?

Selena per her last live performance.

 

Taylor isn't even bad, I mean she's not the best singer you've ever heard but she's improved these past years and she actually stays in key.

Selena has the best soft vocals and a unique tone (when she sings). She had a strong voice during Revival when she was taking vocal lessons
