Lana definitely has the voice for old school blues. Her range is over 3 octaves and has that jazzy tone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ilovetati 15,297 Posted April 19, 2015 but her voice gets messy and she ain't able to hold that note. She holds high notes effortlessly and she has belted low ones on numerous occasions. Cruel World live, HSB live, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruel World live, HSB live, etc. I love you dear, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Lana has a good voice, nobody doubts that. But for a jazz or blues singer it's simply not strong enough. That is also the reason why I fear her cover of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. The way how Nina sings it, it's just way out of Lana's league. I can freely admit this while loving my girl. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HunterAshlyn 686 Posted April 20, 2015 Also... Being a blues singer is about more than just actually being able to sing. Let's get THAT straight. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKA Lizzy Grant 2,238 Posted April 20, 2015 people always bash The Other Woman, but honestly its one of the most stunning songs on UV 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentino 884 Posted April 20, 2015 I really don't think Lana has what it takes to be a blues or jazz singer, honestly. Her live performances have never been very convincing to me, and some of her weakest moments have been when she tries to imitate a jazz singer (Million Dollar Man, I am staring at you). Her voice isn't really suited for it, she's not that great at ad-libbing live, she's not even really consistent with her live performances as they are now... I love her, but I dislike nearly all the live performances of hers I've looked up. She sounds nice in the studio, and I think that's where she's most comfortable. If she wants to imitate a jazz singer there, that's fine because she can do as many takes as she wants or take a break if she feels sick or whatever. But being a jazz singer live? I think the live aspect of jazz is pretty important, and Lana has never managed to impress me vocally live (there are some studio performances of hers that I'm iffy about). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creyk 11,677 Posted April 20, 2015 She gets lots of praise for her Milion Dollar Man performances.... Besides, she is constantly improving as a performer I personally love the way she performs and I'm sure she will continue putting on great shows 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respect your view but personally I feel like the song she performs best live is Million Dollar Man, and I'm not even being sarcastic. I think she makes a brilliant jazz singer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the live aspect of jazz is pretty important, and Lana has never managed to impress me vocally live (there are some studio performances of hers that I'm iffy about). I think Lana's live performances usually don't impress because she's constantly having to sing over her band, the crowd etc. (granted, SNL was a quiet gig but at that time she was just starting out, she was nervous and since then her vocal strength has increased significantly) For instance these performances are both stellar, and indicate that she's quite capable of giving the blues genre justice. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrgk60YRtxo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ckKRXNmJho I mean I'll agree she's no Nina Simone, but her cover of the other woman was fantastic all the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovetati 15,297 Posted April 20, 2015 I was defending The Other Woman, y'all. Her vocals are amazing in that song. And anyone saying she can't sing blues needs to watch Million Dollar Man live in New Orleans and Olympia. Also, Nina Simone's range was quite limited but she made the most of it with her emotive style. Billie's was one octave. There is much more to being a jazz singer than the qualities people are listing here. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
