I hope she seeks a vocal coach because her voice has never sounded healthy to me with the amount of air but it was pleasant and she could hit notes. Exactly. If I sounded the way she has been, and not only was no one worried about it, but they were also making excuses and pushing me to keep going? I'd be kind of pissed. Not to mention all the people saying things like "this is how she's always sounded", which couldn't be further from the truth. I honestly just can't tell anymore if she's doing all of this for herself, and doesn't care that much about the damage she's acquired, or if she's only still going because no one has sincerely told her to stop yet. I wouldn't care so much myself if it weren't for the fact that you can hear her voice breaking in nearly every song she sings lately, and that she's almost been relying on backing tracks more than her own voice. It's sad. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LunaeManifestum 8,332 Posted April 21, 2023 Voice changes over time and thats natural but its clear that her voice has changed pretty fast in the past few years. Her recent songs are showing that too and sometimes even by taking some medicines can cause voice changing. I dont know what happened to her during these years but its far from natural and I dont think smoking can cause this change this “fast”. Evil and BOTL are screaming vocal damage 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SarcasticBeauty 1,553 Posted April 22, 2023 21 hours ago, LunaeManifestum said: this. I used to be a Lana stan back in the BTD era but after Ultraviolence I just left the ship. I wonder if she’ll ever top songs like This Is What Makes Us Girls and Carmen for example bc that album remains untouched im sorry THE WAY I AGREE. I listened to all the other albums and she has great tracks on all of them, but nothing touches BTD ULT and the unreleased. I'm glad she's happier, but it feels so uninspired and monotonous. Anyway, Mel really did a good job on this album. I still listen to it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted April 22, 2023 Wait! Did she take the Dollhouse EP out of streaming devices?? I don’t find Dead To Me or Bittersweet Tragedy (her best ballad ever with Seesaw) anywhere in ITunes 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted April 22, 2023 Sweet boy, straight out of the movie screen Candy hearts and chocolate dreams I met my prince upon a popcorn bowl He held my heart and let it go Ice cream upon a summer's day Beginnin' sweetness never stays You speak sour lemonade to me The bitter taste won't let me be One kiss was supposed to be so sweet But I found grapefruit in your teeth Old gum is all you'll ever be to me I spit you out and brush my teeth Enough of your bittersweet Your sugar rots my teeth Clogs up my arteries She really was a genius! The metaphor, clever lyrics and grand production make this song one of my all time favourites from her Reminds me of WTBCF and BOMM which are ALSO masterpieces 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I'm the only one who thinks so highly of the song! Personally I find the Bittersweet Tragedy lyrics a bit too corny, but WDBCF is especially a top tier song to me. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people don't like it for the rough production—but it's actually one of my top scrobbled Melanie songs since I got Last.fm back in 2018 lol. I collapsed so hard hearing it for the first time. I hope to find out more about that song in the future… it's quite elusive/mysterious to me actually 4 Quote i want my blood to rush, i'm crushing for your touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
