Be honest with me. Could any of the famous singer chicks in the

No. Their vocals probably don't go that high. Maybe after a lot of classical training.

Grimes (Claire Boucher) is, at most, a couple years' worth of formal classical voice lessons away from being one of the most famous Queen of the Nights/coloratura sopranos in the world. She routinely sings up to a B6 (or sometimes even higher if you count scream-singing) in live performances (e.g. this video, starting at around the 3:50 mark - https://youtu.be/uorp0uUuKPU )

To put that into perspective, the highest note in "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" (aka the Queen of the Night Aria - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z-LtheSy7w ) is an F6, which is a full major 4th LOWER than that.

dude fuck off
why are you faggots so obsessed with her?

>>71675420
For starters, why is she using a microphone?

>>71675468
I wonder when one of the Grimesfags is going to pull a Ricardo.

Don't ask questions if don't want answers to them.

Can only speak for myself. I'm a classically trained professional opera singer, multi-instrumentalist, and neo-classical composer. Grimes is pretty much the only active musician/singer on the cutting edge of modern music worth giving a damn about right now. Because of details like >>71675420

>>71675713
I'm actually Mozart and there's no way she could do a Papagena.

>>71675570
The same reason why virtually all modern singers (classically trained or not) do - because she's performing over amplified instruments in an acoustically compromised environment.

>>71675784
Secondly, why can't she sing intelligibly even when using one?

>>71675752
Papagena's notes aren't even particularly high though. That said you're right they should have classical training before performing.

>>71675806
Probably because you can't hear.

Also, all vowel sounds loose their sonically identifiable characteristics when a singer sings higher than around the C above middle C (aka C5) which is clearly MUCH lower than any of the repertoire being talked about here. Hence the common stereotype (apart from obvious language barrier issues) of opera singers being difficult to understand. Or incredibly high-voiced singers like Grimes.

One of the ways you can tell Mozart was a great composer is because he followed a formula that addressed this specific problem. If you listen to the aforementioned aria ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQ7W8-_Ekg ) carefully, you will notice that the lyrics are always sung by the singer in a lower vocal range first (no original lyrical content appears during the coloratura melismatic sections) and only after that initial statement do they go up into the stratosphere. Young Mozzy knew what he was doing.
