Lady Gaga, Disease (The Antidote, live)...purely vocal

She's a good pianist, but she's an extraordinary vocalist.

The way she sings this, with all those little scoops and trills and riffs…she may be the best pop singer out there.

My admiration has grown since she first crossed my musical radar. Admittedly, i don’t listen to much music from the genre in which she got her start, so it takes someone special to get my attention. I recognized a deep and complex soul whose voice and presence elevated her above the miasma of pop schlock. I feel similarly about the amazing Alicia Keys, but that’s a topic for another time.

Here's a vocal coach reacting…not in the least he says she's not being "tone corrected" AKA AutoTuned.

Luckily, I don’t listen to much music where it’s used. It offends my ear cockles, so to speak.

It takes subtle vocal moves, like flattening of her scoops and warbles, to realize it's not tweaked…

Just for fun, Miley's cover of Jolene is also pure , the young lady can sing…
