Loud voice, needs sub titles, couldn't understand a word. :dunno:
I guess I could look up the lyrics.
Still, I'd have to do that for the Australian NA too.

I've never understood why the Yanks go apesh!t over a song about a Mexican with optical issues! :dunno:

The song starts with "José can you see?" after all! 8)

Not as good as I used to.
Thanks for asking!

You mean the bit where she powers up to screech mode because she has exceeded her ability to control her tone at that point and then adds so much uncontrolled vibrato that she oscillates either side of the required note without ever actually hitting it!

Sorry but that is just bad vocal control. The vastly over-rated Canadian singer is just as bad! Celine Dion (or as I prefer to call her - "Screechy Dion") has a very nice and melodic voice until she goes for the power shot and then it all goes to hell in a hand basket! When she tries to add power to her voice she too loses the ability to control her timbre and it just becomes a loud screech with no musical qualities at all.

I really hate to see/hear all the younger singers (male and female) on the plethora of so called 'talent' shows on TV these days who try to mask their inability to sustain a single note at high volume by deliberately using bad vibrato skills which just compounds the problem as they wobble around the note while screeching uncontrollably!

Don't even get me started on the abomination that is 'Auto-tune', possibly the most badly used piece of equipment in any modern recording studio! :wall:

When I hear something that is unpleasant to my ear, I turn it off an carry on.
