Evaluating Good Girl - 5 Seconds of Summer


I have nothing better to do, so I am here now - reviewing this randomly chosen song.

Damn! It is filled with autotune  - but in a good way because it is catchy and gives me the good vibe feeling.
The chorus is repetitive, but it allows it to get stuck in viewer's heads. There are little vocal runs done by several members of this band. I think they give this already catchy song more kick to it.

However, I doubt that this band can perform this song live because it is heavily laced with autotune - especially the belts at the fourth octave, at around A4.

Evaluating Pills N Potions by Nicki Minaj



Nicki Minaj has dropped her lead single 'Pills N Potions' from her new album 'The Pink Print' and I am here to do a review about her song today.

I think it is gonna be a sleeper hit because:
1. It is not her style to create songs that are ballads.
2. Her raps are not as catchy
3. It sounds generic.

However, I am sure it would make an impact on the Hot 100, possibly on the Top 30 because:
1. She has a HUGE fanbase.
2. She is exploring her hip-hop and rapping roots, which will attract more people to listen to this song.
3. She is actually SINGING instead of rapping all the time.

Overall, I think that although her singing could do with some improvement, this song is kinda growing on me. This may be one of her personal tracks to date and I am cool with that :)

Apology

I would like to sincerely apologise - I have gotten a lot of notes wrong on vocal ranges for singers. I have looked through all your comments - be it through comments or email or tweets, I would give all the singers another listen before reediting the singers' vocal ranges again.

If you would have noticed I took away a lot of posts down from my site too because the reviews are too biased and unprofessional, and I wish to start afresh with new posts and song reviews.

I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Update: I have updated ALL of the singer's vocal ranges and will keep on adding new posts professionally from now on.
