Reply To: How do u judge a singer if hes good?

Control and tone is very important. I personally feel that in jewish music today (which i do love anyway), there is too much of a focus on getting the people who can hit the highest notes, regardless of if they have pleasant sounding voice and good control over it. There are even kids choirs (i.e. yeshiva boys choir) that have a lot of screaming to hit high notes in which some of the kids are probably damaging their voices (and NO, most of them do NOT get proper voice lessons, so those who think they do-youre wrong). There is a difference between screaming and singing. A very good jewish singer who has exceptional control who DOESNT scream or go crazy high is Ari Goldwag. The guy has a smooth, beautiful voice with excellent control and tone. Again, I do love almost all jewish music, these are just things that I personally wish were a little different. Im NOT bashing jewish music, I listen to it all the time.
