Jade doesn’t have the best belts but there are definitely decent, and they sound fire🔥 at least in my opinion, idk why but I love them soo much and she is really working to improve them💜💜

@@whitemumbo5766 Definitely too bright too giving it a shrill quality. Its a problem she has in her upper belting tbh because she lacks a fully developed chest voice.
Because she is vocally restricted. She doesnt have much vocal skills to venture aside of belting. Besides, she is old now and her approach becomes lighter and it becomes boring n less exciting.🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'm so glad to see Sohyang, Lara and Mariah in here!😻 Also Little Mixs Mid-Belts brought me so much joy! I definetly would love this as a series!😻 Also I really look out for your next Live Video!🥰
Of courseeeee part 2 !! It would also be great if you added the reasons why the belts are bad, decent or great :) Definitely a series I would look forward too since I appreciate more belts than riffs and runs
It's interesting because whenever you show a decent belt I'm like "wait, that actually sounds like a great one" and then a great one comes and I'm like "oh, yeah, I hear it now" lol Also, it wouldn't be an Ain't No Other Fan video about belting or vibrato if you didn't include Perrie's part in LM's "Falling" cover lol
Series material definitely!! I feel like Demi has a bette G5 for you performance like the one from jingle ball 2015 but I still agree with that particular clip! And thank you for speaking on what’s going on right now.. we can’t pretend it’s not happening 🙏🙏
thank you so much for making this!! this video is much more diverse and well put than the one from a while ago. your channel has improved so much, it has not gone unnoticed :)
Grammy Awards 1992 "If it's over" Live performance by MC silenced all the media haters qnd also artists in the hall. Many media thoughts Mariah can't sing live with whistles but bruh she proved it with F#5's.
I've heard her sing in whistle register live. If someone has developed that register, it's not a big deal to do it live. However, F#5 is nowhere near the whistle register for any female voice, or even male voices for that matter
Okay I think Adele’s Bb4 was actually pretty good 😭 Edit: okay I listened to it a few more times and I think the reason why it was labeled as “bad” was because she goes slightly sharp at the end and cuts off… the initial tone of the note was beautiful though 🙈
All of these singers have had their good and bad moments. The only singers that have bad belting technique in this video are Dua, Adele and Xtina and I'm sure they'll improve and be great someday 😊 Xtina and Adele are already getting better and I'm sure Dua Lipa will be improving with them at some point. If we had to categorise the singers in this video in comparison to each other (I won't be including any K-pop/Korean singers except for Ailee since I don't know them but if anyone does, please do tell me about them; I also won't be including Tamar Braxton) Bad Belting Technique - Dua Lipa (she's not consistent above G4/G#4... the same goes for Xtina and Normani), Christina Aguilera, Normani and Adele (has consistency up to A4) Decent Belting Technique - Camila Cabello (is consistent up to A4/Bb4), Miley Cyrus (is consistent up to Bb4/B4), Jade Thirlwall (is consistent up to B4... her belts are so underrated; they're not the best but they're still really good), Jesy Nelson (is consistent up to B4), Carrie Underwood (I think she's consistent up to Bb4/B4 but I'm not too sure) Good Belting Technique - Leigh-Anne Pinnock (is consistent up to B4/C5), Perrie Edwards (is consistent up to C5), Nicole Scherzinger (I believe she's consistent up to C5 but I may be wrong), Demi Lovato (is consistent up to C5/C#5), Jessie J (is consistent up to C#5), Morissette Amon (is consistent up to C#5/D5), Lady Gaga (is consistent up to C#5), Ariana Grande (is consistent up to D5 with a lot of supported Eb5s in this new era), Ally Brooke (is consistent up to D5), Tori Kelly (is consistent up to D5), Ailee (is consistent up to E5/F5) Great Belting Technique - Tiffany Evans (is consistent up to E5/F5), JoJo (is consistent up to Eb5/E5), Kelly Clarkson (is consistent up to F5), Beyoncé (is consistent up to F5), Mariah Carey in 1996 and 2003/2004 (was consistent up to F#5), Lara Fabian (is consistent up to F#5/G5), Amber Riley (is consistent up to G5), Aretha Franklin (is consistent up to G5/G#5) Even better than these singers are Natalie Weiss (is consistent up to a whopping B5) and SoHyang (is consistent up to C6!!) Edit: Not me forgetting about Beyoncé 💀
@@lyanaua_4lyf81 What makes you think that? Leigh-Anne's resonance is decent and her vibrato (when she uses it) is healthy. She is also as consistent as some of the other singers in the 'good' category (Perrie, Demi, etc.). Her technique isn't the best but it's not nearly as bad as people think it is. It failed her because she lacked confidence. She was overlooked a lot in the early years of Little Mix's career. However, she has supported a few D5s and a hell lot of C5s and C#5s with the little confidence she had.

I wouldn't put Ailee with JoJo because, even though both of them are tied as far as diaphragm engagement, vibrato, resonance and range go, Ailee tends to carry a bit too much tension above E5/F5 while JoJo has freedom up to at least F#5.

Wow. Great video! You really outdid yourself once again! I hope Dua will learn how to belt without tension, she has a nice instrument but values style more than technique which is what most pop stars do
One of the things I was noticing (which I've been told to be careful about as well) is belting and tilting the head back. More often when singers are doing that, their belts are more unstable but when they tuck their chin in or tilt their whole body back, there's usually more support. It's all about grounding and core support, baybeee.
Thank you for speaking out about the horrible situation in the Ukraine. As someone whose family lives there (the vast majority) I appreciate that a lot. Thank you
REALLY cool video! Loved the concept, and even tho I don't agree with every single one, it's accurate ASF. I would've chosen a better B4 for Jesy because she definitely has some Green deserving ones👁️💜 (AND ALSO, the contrast between Demi's red and green B4 was really shocking, loved it tho)
Great video as always! Also, I know you said you didn't use strained vs. supported vocals as criteria, but in my opinion it pretty much feels like it (not a judgment, I agree with each one). I mean, the bad ones sound like strained, pushed vocals while the great ones sounds very efortless. Keep up with the good work! I love your channel! Sending lots of love from Brazil.
"Belting" is a bit of a debated term. In classical singing a "Belt" has more to do with the level of chord closure and using your entire lower register (chest voice) without pushing or mixing. Contemporary singers use the term "belt" to include middlevoice/mixed voice singing. I don't think people know that Lower Register in classical singing translates to Chestvoice In contemporary, Middle Register translates to "Mix" and Upper Register translates to headvoice. In terms of "technique" a good belt is essentially anything that is has a large sound column and doesn't require a mic to carry. SO I AGREE WITH THIS ENTIRE VID tbh..
I mean... Kind of? Ariana's classified as a good belter, but she doesn't have a lot of volume output- If anything, Ariana actually really pulls back on her volume output in order to maintain her tonal quality. Pretty much, In contemporary, a belt is just a vocal style resembling a shout- It doesn't have to be loud to be good in terms of contemporary, It just has to be free enough to have a ring or tonal consistency.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 My only issue with the contemporary definition of 'belting' is that a good ear can definitely still discern the difference between what the mic creates and what the body creates. Historically, a belt is purely lower register (chest voice) but on a note that's relatively high for that register. I get that contemporary changed the game, but I feel that if we're including middle voice (vocal mix) we should at least only classify chest dominant sound as the belts. I consider Ariana an exception to the rule because her 'belts' are incredibly free and healthy. But a singer like Adele is mic reliant for her 'big' sound. Gaga would blow Adele out of the water in pure resonance wither her chest voice.
@Joseph Harris I mean, there are different kinds of mixes though and a hundred different aproaches to mixing- a few of them not even involving blending the two registers. The issue with Contemporary is that people confuse different genre techniques and different labels. No technique label is set in stone sue to that, that combined with different Contemporary genres using the same labels, it's hard to indentify and differentiate two different techniques when it's all just seen as belting or mixing.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 I only say this because, if we don't apply an objective standard than we cannot effectively communicate, teach, explain, or learn. A "Belt" is historically purely using your lower register to product high notes. There's nothing objectively wrong about using middle voice / mix, but comparing a belt (chest voice) to vocal mix (middle voice) is inherently comparing apples and oranges. For example, Gaga at 1:20 is utilizing a true belt technique (in the historic sense of the word.) BUT If you're teaching someone to belt, and then also show them Dua Lipa at 3:14 and then refer to her highly mixed note as a "belt" you will confuse and actually set the learner back. The truth is, Lady Gaga was belting and Dua Lipa wasn't. A belt will always have a horizontal sound column, mixing will always have a lateral sound column. They're still, technically, different. I actually do see the points you made and I've modified my opinion to include good vocal mixes that at least simulate the dense/explosive qualities of a belt. Some singers IE: Beyonce have such powerful and controlled vocal mixing that no one knows where each of her registers begins or ends!
I appreciate your video. As a trained singer, I would like you to explain some of these rating though, as you put some very well executed belts in yellow, and some “worse” belts as green. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.
Who was at 7:45?! I cracked myself up picturing Cardi B. Ps. I think Carrie's D5 at 5:37 was like a laser, she came out the gate so ON pitch it sounded autotuned plus the tone was so rich, it was so perfect imo. Def would have given her a Green/Great for that one. Beyonce's Eb5 at 6:32 will forever be iconic for the speed of that run breaking the sound barrier. Last thing, these were all pretty good vocals I'd be happy for a Red in this vid tbh.
Queen of belting might have to go to Ariana in terms of how high she can go without not sounding not good because, even when she does “make mistakes” she still sounds good, argue with yourself
@@aisha9098 yeah, also imo Ariana is way better than SoHyang, simply bc Ariana's belts sound way better and not scream-ish plus they are not just sustained, Ariana addd an extra belt in a song every half a minute lol
How is Ariana the queen of belting? you guys just make up anything to make her look good at this point. she doesn’t even have good technique in her upper belts, yall just think she sounds pretty ….
Xtina's A4, Tori's F#5, Demi's G5 and especially Jojo's F5 weren't decent in my opinion. The strain was very obvious in these clips. Same with Wendy's notes that may not be strained, but still sounded very closed, even more than usual. Great video! Love the amount of Korean singers here. It would be nice if you'll add Lee Haeri and Kim Yeonji in the next part. Both are very good belters:)
Thanks for adding Lara Fabian and Mariah carey as experts when is come to vocal technique. I'm agree with you except for the Eb Jessie J's was way better than Beyoncé's showed on this video, it sounded pushed. Great video✌
Oh my God Mariah's notes were so free, resonant and pleasing to the ear. I started to get a headache with all of the screaming that came before her but when she came on it was heavenly daaahhling ❤
To be fair, I personally feel like some of these were sung in mixed vocals rather than a full blown belt, but again that's just my personal opinion. I'm still learning about vocal techniques and if I'm wrong, please feel free to tell me what y'all think. I'm interested in hearing about it.
Mariah's phrased F#5's are so resonant and supported, and Beyonce's Eb5 is incredible! Mariah and Beyonce are two of my favorite singers ever they slay vocals
Geez Mariah slaying those phrased F#5 is literally mind blowing. I'm still shook after how many times I heard and watched it.
These F#5s were way too good, it's almost offensive😂
This with nodule with throat! She is a legend
Yes!! I'm kinda wondering why it's not *_her_* in the thumbnail instead of Beyonce
6:31 It's the way Bey's resonance overpowers the 2007 camera recording her for me
It was that mic echo and poor audio doing the work🤗🤗

I would appreciate a Celine D5, and a Whitney F5 or G5!!

Great video as always! Also, I know you said you didn't use strained vs. supported vocals as criteria, but in my opinion it pretty much feels like it (not a judgment, I agree with each one). I mean, the bad ones sound like strained, pushed vocals while the great ones sounds very efortless. Keep up with the good work! I love your channel! Sending lots of love from Brazil.
I think the key to belting is learning how to create space with the resonators (nose, tongue, throat), Lara Fabian and Morrissette does this well
"Belting" is a bit of a debated term. In classical singing a "Belt" has more to do with the level of chord closure and using your entire lower register (chest voice) without pushing or mixing. Contemporary singers use the term "belt" to include middlevoice/mixed voice singing. I don't think people know that Lower Register in classical singing translates to Chestvoice In contemporary, Middle Register translates to "Mix" and Upper Register translates to headvoice. In terms of "technique" a good belt is essentially anything that is has a large sound column and doesn't require a mic to carry. SO I AGREE WITH THIS ENTIRE VID tbh..
I mean... Kind of? Ariana's classified as a good belter, but she doesn't have a lot of volume output- If anything, Ariana actually really pulls back on her volume output in order to maintain her tonal quality.
Pretty much, In contemporary, a belt is just a vocal style resembling a shout- It doesn't have to be loud to be good in terms of contemporary, It just has to be free enough to have a ring or tonal consistency.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 My only issue with the contemporary definition of 'belting' is that a good ear can definitely still discern the difference between what the mic creates and what the body creates.
Historically, a belt is purely lower register (chest voice) but on a note that's relatively high for that register. I get that contemporary changed the game, but I feel that if we're including middle voice (vocal mix) we should at least only classify chest dominant sound as the belts.
I consider Ariana an exception to the rule because her 'belts' are incredibly free and healthy. But a singer like Adele is mic reliant for her 'big' sound. Gaga would blow Adele out of the water in pure resonance wither her chest voice.
@Joseph Harris I mean, there are different kinds of mixes though and a hundred different aproaches to mixing- a few of them not even involving blending the two registers.
The issue with Contemporary is that people confuse different genre techniques and different labels. No technique label is set in stone sue to that, that combined with different Contemporary genres using the same labels, it's hard to indentify and differentiate two different techniques when it's all just seen as belting or mixing.
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013 I only say this because, if we don't apply an objective standard than we cannot effectively communicate, teach, explain, or learn.
A "Belt" is historically purely using your lower register to product high notes. There's nothing objectively wrong about using middle voice / mix, but comparing a belt (chest voice) to vocal mix (middle voice) is inherently comparing apples and oranges.
For example, Gaga at 1:20 is utilizing a true belt technique (in the historic sense of the word.) BUT If you're teaching someone to belt, and then also show them Dua Lipa at 3:14 and then refer to her highly mixed note as a "belt" you will confuse and actually set the learner back.
The truth is, Lady Gaga was belting and Dua Lipa wasn't. A belt will always have a horizontal sound column, mixing will always have a lateral sound column. They're still, technically, different.
I actually do see the points you made and I've modified my opinion to include good vocal mixes that at least simulate the dense/explosive qualities of a belt. Some singers IE: Beyonce have such powerful and controlled vocal mixing that no one knows where each of her registers begins or ends!
@@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013yeah but if you pull back too much you’ll strain or boom a voice crack pops out lol
A belting video and no Celine Dion or Whitney Houston 🤨🥲
IKR!! And he need to put Mariah Carey because if he didn't lambs will attack him lol.
I was waiting for themmm
I’ll fix that for a part 2😉
@@itssteven4184 as they always do for some annoying reason
@@cxutiegamer3676 maybe because she is apart of thee vocal trinity?🙄
I appreciate your video. As a trained singer, I would like you to explain some of these rating though, as you put some very well executed belts in yellow, and some “worse” belts as green. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.
Jessie J's Eb5 has to be the best I've heard in a while
It's Tamar singing "Ding-a-ling of Gold" for me 😂😂😂
The ones l LOVE the most/best, are?! Beyoncé, Mariah, Tori, Normani and Ally!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 (l just wish Whitney was here!😭)
This is interesting. I’d love to see Faouzia in one of these.
i thought that Faouzia would be in this ☹️ you should include her in a lot more of your videos because she’s an incredible vocalist!!
a series is needed!
8:02 that was fire🔥
Amber Riley and Aretha make it seem so easy🥲
I've never heard something so impressive like Mariah's F#5
Ailee not just slaying all but slaying hearts since inmemorial times 🧡🧡🧡
We need a part 2
✍🏼✍🏼✍🏼
Who was at 7:45?! I cracked myself up picturing Cardi B. Ps. I think Carrie's D5 at 5:37 was like a laser, she came out the gate so ON pitch it sounded autotuned plus the tone was so rich, it was so perfect imo. Def would have given her a Green/Great for that one. Beyonce's Eb5 at 6:32 will forever be iconic for the speed of that run breaking the sound barrier. Last thing, these were all pretty good vocals I'd be happy for a Red in this vid tbh.
Tone wise, Mariah all over the spectrum. Demi on her upper belts is just gorgeous, I'm not even a fan. But it's so open and resonant, just yum!
Queen of belting might have to go to Ariana in terms of how high she can go without not sounding not good because, even when she does “make mistakes” she still sounds good, argue with yourself
she does have great tonal quality that a lot of her fails really go over peoples heads.
@Nasir Germain you could've said that without the "couldn't hold a candle to them" comment. Y'all be so weird and hateful for no reason
@@aisha9098 yeah, also imo Ariana is way better than SoHyang, simply bc Ariana's belts sound way better and not scream-ish plus they are not just sustained, Ariana addd an extra belt in a song every half a minute lol
@@filipmarinkovic6281 yea and her technique in belting has improved a lot
How is Ariana the queen of belting? you guys just make up anything to make her look good at this point. she doesn’t even have good technique in her upper belts, yall just think she sounds pretty ….
Amber Riley sings with such ease!
10:31 is that a power of a god??
Yessir🙏🏽Aretha is the most anointed singer I’ve ever heard
@@theodoreboy25shes so talented omg
Jessie J always impeccable 🔥
8:43 a whole other level
Morissette's F5 is over and beyond me! Great!
Ariana, Perrie, Jessie J and Bey!!!! 💕
PERFECT VIDEO! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
Xtina's A4, Tori's F#5, Demi's G5 and especially Jojo's F5 weren't decent in my opinion. The strain was very obvious in these clips.
Same with Wendy's notes that may not be strained, but still sounded very closed, even more than usual.
Great video! Love the amount of Korean singers here. It would be nice if you'll add Lee Haeri and Kim Yeonji in the next part. Both are very good belters:)
JoJo's F5 has some support
Taeyeon so good in C5/C#5
Why does each color you’ve chosen for the named singers here describe the exact colors I would expect for them 😂🔥 nice job
So many choices here were... choices. For both good and bad.
7:44 WHATS HER VOICE???? I have been looking for her for soooo long
Thanks for adding Lara Fabian and Mariah carey as experts when is come to vocal technique.
I'm agree with you except for the Eb Jessie J's was way better than Beyoncé's showed on this video, it sounded pushed.
Great video✌
Yeah Jessie's Eb5 was very well supported
You are my favorite TH-cam Channel !!!
Oh my God Mariah's notes were so free, resonant and pleasing to the ear. I started to get a headache with all of the screaming that came before her but when she came on it was heavenly daaahhling ❤
To be fair, I personally feel like some of these were sung in mixed vocals rather than a full blown belt, but again that's just my personal opinion. I'm still learning about vocal techniques and if I'm wrong, please feel free to tell me what y'all think. I'm interested in hearing about it.
Jessie's Eb5 on Reflection was not only "decent", it's was pretty well placed and tonally beautiful.
Ofc part 2
I wanna see Katy, Rihanna and Taylor too
Mariah's phrased F#5's are so resonant and supported, and Beyonce's Eb5 is incredible! Mariah and Beyonce are two of my favorite singers ever they slay vocals
