She's actually only two years younger than Jojo, come to think of it. I wish her voice had a bit... more to it. I like what she does with it, but the voice itself just isn't that interesting. Oh, well.

Really? That's disappointing.
I thought she was some tween amateur waiting to blossom, but she's already old enough to consume alcohol in a DVDA film.
Yeah, her voice sounds "immature" in that way; like it's the voice of a teenager, I guess.
I did enjoy that riff. But I agree with you on her voice lacking that something.
Not all singers are born with that oomph!

Tori Kelly, ja?
There's no doubt that she's incredibly talented, even when she was 11 years old. But I do agree that there's something about her voice that doesn't sit well with me. Her riffs agility are unreal, but there's a.. Shallowness to her voice. There's not much richness and depth to it, IMO o___o.
Props to her tho. To be able to sing a song off of Christina's Stripped album like THAT is pretty commendable :3

Yep, me too!! <3 That's why I also find it weird that she's constantly compared to Mariah Carey just because of her range.
Yes, she has an amazing range, but she lacks that volume and fullness in her voice that Mariah had, in my opinion o__o.
I've been singing and training for years, but I don't really know if that depth is something singers can truly work on improving, or if it's just the natural tonality and timbre in their voice

I can't speak to the way it feels in the throat as well as you could, but I think it's mostly nature - and for some singers, age, health issues, or bad habits introduce a huskiness that can make a voice sound "fuller" somewhat. Mariah's voice took on a weightiness around her Music Box era, for instance, that slowly turned into a husky tone that was most pleasing in 2002-2003.Yep, me too!! <3 That's why I also find it weird that she's constantly compared to Mariah Carey just because of her range.

Beyoncé's voice in Destiny's Child (final album aside) and her debut solo era was quite shrill and thin to my ears. She's done an anti-Xtina and worked up her technique to an incredibly high level. She kind of grew into a fuller voice because of what she learned from her experience in Dreamgirls*, even though she's still no Whitney or Mariah.
I can't think of any other singers whose voices "embiggened" without the use of steroids (hi Kelly Clarkson) or Camel cigarettes, though.
*Jennifer Hudson wasn't taking any notes.

Bowing down to all the truth in this post tbh. <3
I think Mariah's increasing huskiness also has to do with the fact that she's reported multiple times that she's had vocal nodules since she was a kid. Depending on the size and shape of these, and how they resonate, I can definitely believe her story on that one o_o!
I never would have even considered that Bey did an "anti-Xtina" LOL! It's actually kinda true. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Xtina but her voice is definitely not what it used to be ;____;. I guess it happens with years of performing, though. Especially because I believe she said she started her career without any formal voice training.
Did Kelly Clarkson use vocal steroids?! I had no idea!! LOLL! I know she was another who also developed nodules after a while.

KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Where the lie at tho?
all she needs is some competent PR and a label that gives a damn. I mean now that Iggy's made female rappers a 'thing' again (somewhat) I do think Banks will get a new label and some coins behind her... the image she has right now is PRIME for the game. Once her image gets filtered and spun juuuust right... I think she can still happen as long as her material stands up.

My friend and I went on a Janet Jackson music video binge session, and uhhhh...
Are we going to pretend that Britney's entire LIFE hasn't been completely lifted from Janet's own portfolio and performance style? I mean speaking just visually... the excess of fedora-wear with a bra or crop top and blue jeans, the excess of hallway walking with actresses playing their girfriends, the excessive dance breaks with an army of male dancers serenading them (with the inevitable turn to the camera while walking away, i.e. the "I'm out, cunts"), the excess of eyefucking the camera with the fakest smiles in the history of the medium, the excessive lip syncing during high energy pop-and-lock performances, both lifted from Michael Jackson... not to mention Britney's "Am I fuckable???" vocals throughout the 2000s were obviously inspired by Janet's own "Please stop fucking me, Jermaine" whisps of humanoid plight that make my eyes roll so intensely that my BRAIN starts to sting.
Janet Jackson is an icon, not my icon but one nontheless... but it's obvious to me that Britney Spears' entire career life has simply been a case study in taking all of Janet Jackson's achievements and aesthetics, switching them to white mode, adding blondeness, and seeing what happens.

You're exactly right, which is why it's so strange that people keep comparing Britney to Madonna.
Soulscribe

Any female that achieves a great deal of success is going to be compared to Madonna (Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga come to mind too), and it showcases how much disrespect the mainstream has towards Madonna's legacy. It seems like they've just devolved her career achievements into "successful person with vagina," as if any of the above women have done anything remotely aligned with Madonna's career shifts, let alone come CLOSE to replicating Madonna's genius and sustained success.
Madonna is her own beast, and no one has EVER or WILL ever come close to playing the game like she has. Britney's self-inflicted career suicide like... 5 years after her debut is enough to suggest that she's not in Madonna's league. Beyonce is the only one (so far) who has sustained a successful career for over a decade, but she's done so with safer career choices, and hardly any visual transformations. She's safe and likable enough to stay on mainstream's good side all these years, and she's held on to her winnings the whole way through to become the juggernaut she is now. Rihanna shares Madonna's old affinity for self-transformation, though Rihanna's never come close to capturing the zeitgeist like Madonna has done time and time again. I suppose Gaga's taken the same "hard choices" that Madonna's taken but not really in a challenging, provocative way that's pissed people off... but more like adding to what she's done before and annoying the public with the excess. Very different reaction. We'll see how Gaga builds and sustains her career before comparing her to Madonna, but until then, there will only be one. And nothing's more disrespectful to Madonna than having the nerve to suggest that Britney Fucking Spears is at her caliber.

Janet Jackson has had a longer, more fruitful career, plus Britney never had the inconvenience of competing head-to-head with Madonna and Mariah Carey for a decade-plus. The early 2000s was a pretty open field in the "pop diva" space.

I would possibly argue that Janet provided a much more different kind of sound than her contemporaries did, at least that's what I got from listening to The Velvet Rope.
