I think it's unbelievable that you can enjoy listening to people screaming & shouting at the top of their voices & playing their instruments as loudly as they can while you think singers who can hit high notes but control their voices enough to sing low notes & they can carry a tune too can't sing. (If I'd have "sung" like some of the so-called singers you like at school I'd have been told to sing it again properly without shouting until I got it right.) Most of what you think of as true music I think of as so-called musicians screaming at the top of their voices & banging their instruments as loudly as they can. (I guess we're both thinking the other person doesn't appreciate good music, though.) I think you've actually damaged your eardrums already listening to that music. Your so-called high standards in music I wouldn't call that high. In fact I'd call them pretty low but everyone's got different tastes. I've shown you proper music. I agree with you that most old music is better than so-called new music though. I would also agree with you that there is a science to music which anyone who knows about soundwaves & how they're produced & how our voices & ears work would all agree on but I don't think you've found the proper formula.
You're welcome. I enjoyed the Scottish songs the best too. I prefer the songs which depict events in history best in the same way that I prefer songs that mean something. I like some hard-to-sing songs which gives singers a chance to show off sometimes but I also like simple songs to sing. The reason behind that is if I hear songs I know I always find the need to sing along. I like easy-to-sing songs as warm-up pieces before I go on to singing mid-range & hard-to-sing songs & I'm naughty in that sometimes I'll sing songs when I've got a sore throat which I know I shouldn't do as it can damage your voice so easy to sing songs are good then. (I like listening to the words as well as singing along. I like songs with a lot of meaning to them. Do you even listen to the words?) I sing the odd crescendo & diminuendo.
I'd actually call your screaming, banging pieces of music the simplistic pieces. I actually like to listen & sing along to the words. I like songs that mean something. Do you actually listen to the words? (I wouldn't have even started slagging off your music if you hadn't started slagging off Double Bagel's music. I'd have just said thank you very much for sharing & been rather euphemistic about how I said it's a bit different & respected the fact we have the right to different tastes. I'd have just kept my thoughts to myself because who wants to know what I think anyway.) I think Cher's Believe was a good example of someone being able to echo their voice naturally through hard work & practise. I can do that too. I must say I think you've got a weird idea of singing & you classed all the music I shared as pop except for the Scottish music. F.Y.I. Queen, the Moodies, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf & Rod Stewart are rock singers, Kenny Rogers is a country singer, Diana Ross is a Motown singer & Bob Marley is a reggae singer. I disagree with your opinion about the Rod Stewart song I shared. You wouldn't like this guy who I think is a brilliant singer & yodeller then. I also like Louis Armstrong like you do.
There is a lot of voice control there.
I actually picked a playlist so you could pick your own but it only picked up the 1st 1. I'd never heard that song before. I prefer "Sailing" & "You wear it well".
I don't want to fall out, offend or criticise you or your tastes but you were criticising not only mine but Double Bagel's tastes so I got fed up & retaliated. I don't want to fall out with, offend or criticise anyone. I'm 1 of the if not the least confrontational person on here.
