      @@kawaii33366 that's because the vocal cords are such tiny muscles that its easy to detect when were hurting them. They will always tell us when were hurting them or using unnecessary tension to produce a sound. With singing, we know exactly when were using the muscles correctly and we make sure we dont injure them with things such as rest and consistent exercising.

      I don't think techincally difficult singing can kill a good voice if you've had proper training. But forcing it without proper training will, and so will singing when you're suffering from a resüiratory illness. I don't know the exact link but I'm sure I've seen at least one clip of Idina here where someone remarked on her sounding different and someone else proceeded to mention that she had been ill at the time. It's practically like dancing on pointe while already having a stress fracture in the foot.

    Also what is up with Idina's televised performances? She consistently sounds great at live performances that aren't as high profile, but she historically has been struggling at performances that were televised, even at the Tonys and Oscars. The recent 15th anniversary performance also wasn't as good as this one!

      The problem is her technique it sounds like. Shes adopted some bad vocal habits over the years and in that clip you can REALLY hear it. She was going super wide on her vowels and her layrnx was sky high. Even in the old clip, her layrnx shot up on the final E. I dont think she shouldve tried to sing notes THAT high in the first place.

      Jimmy Wise Belting in of itself is not damaging (if done with the proper technique) and has nothing to do with pitch, so you’re not forcing it to go higher. Belting is placing your sound sound forward in your mouth, essentially.

    PSA ABOUT SARAH BRIGHTMAN: Give 👏🏻her👏🏻a👏🏻break👏🏻 She has been singing those notes for 30 years. Your voice will take a hit after singing those notes a lot. Its like Idina Menzel. Her vocal chords got damaged after belting at a high range for so long. How Sarah definitely wasn’t the best, but she tried her best and she did super well after 30 years. When you sing the high notes that she has sang for 30 years and can still hit them at age 58 without having to change the key signature, let me know and we can talk. Sarah is and will always be The Angel Of Music. (Also Micheal Crawford is The Angel Of Music)
