...but because he's down in a baritone range (and maybe due to Hannett's production), his voice recedes into the instruments.

well I mean part of it tho is this type of singing placed in a nominally. (if weirdly skewed) wanna be professional modern pop context in which singers can generally....sing or are at least pitch correctedif she was in some indie post punk band no one would bat an eyelash

I wonder if both cultural norms, and the fact that higher-pitched voices have more prominence to the ear, conspire to make this more of an issue for female singers
yes. and see also genre -- listen to Camaraderie's reverb version --

this sounds more like the average karaoke rendition of a song than anything to me.
my ex sang like this

key hint is how she sometimes does wind up in key through pure chance.
yeah, where the person is singing at/near the top of her range (or psychologically induced range), as opposed to nearer the middle where the singer will feel more confident/comfortable to sing a wider range of notes

Would be totally willing to read and compare microtonal transcriptions:

like this was the main aesthetic similarity between this and Rebecca Black -- the one note-ness -- though Brand's voice is capable of more overtones and expressiveness so she sings variants (or microtones as you will) of the same one.

yeah with my ex it was always Celine Dion, when she should have been singing alto-y country.

Ozzy sounded way worse than Brand on his last two tours w/ Sabbath btw. like...way....way....worse.
do you miss her?

almost like "I'm used to this song in its former key but the band lowered the key to help me, but i'm still singing it in the original key" bad

Scott Weiland was having a lot of trouble when I saw him play a few months before his death, he was missing notes that weren't even especially high in his range.

I would definitely rather listen to Sarah Brand than Ian Brown, the worst live singer I've ever seen by some considerable distance.

no that was my first reaction even before the pitch. I'm like "is this mumblecountry"?

Feels like a lot of people itt investing way too much thought into this terrible song and terrible singer. Y'all really want a new Farrah Abraham that badly, huh?

I will give her this much: as awful as the song + singer are, the cumulative 45 seconds or so that I've heard of this (once for myself, once for my gf who probably noped out quicker than I did) have lodged themselves very firmly in my head.

Loathed the Farrah Abraham, but I wouldn’t mind a new Laurel Halo - the unadorned pitchiness of Quarantine was a thing of great beauty.
