Wow. Just saw the results so far.....LG got 0 votes?? Come on, she sounded great on most of that record! I M O She sounded great on the record but some of her live performances were really pitchy and unpleasant to hear.

I always thought she sounded a ton better in acoustic performances, probably because her voice wasn't trying to compete with a full band. I feel like that was part of the issue in LG era. She wasn't used to performing with a full band and I think she struggled to be heard, thus blowing her voice out.

These pitchy performances from the LG era, where are they or is there one particular YouTube that highlights what you're saying? I had heard this before so when I got the first DVD (Buffalo NY) I was expecting it to be much worse. But I actually like the way she sang on it and unless it was completely auto tuned I thought she was on key for the most part.

She tended to go flat sometimes. She wasn't horrifically out of tune like Taylor Swift was in her early career for example, but she wasn't pitch perfect either. If you listen for it, you'll hear moments where she goes flat.

UMS and TBDT. GL era vocals were odd, AL lazy and LG fairly poor. UMS was spot on for me, TBDT pretty consistently good too

Yeah, Tay Tay really sucked at first but no one cared because she was not taking "no" for an answer and she was so cute

For example this performance sounds awful Of course that she sounded good on the DVD, that's probably the reason fans think UMS era had the best vocals since the Budokan DVD is her best one.

I think part of her problem in LG era was that she wasn't used to how stressful touring was. She didn't really take proper care of herself, health wise. She was always drinking and eating a lot of sugar. Traveling all over the world, sharing a bus with 4 other people. They all got sick pretty often, from what I remember. She wasn't used to being on the road, traveling to different places where you are more prone to get sick. The food was different than what she was used to, she even said in some places she didn't eat because it was too gross, and she lost weight. By the time she did her next tour, her habits changed completely. She had her own bus and she ate a lot better and did yoga before the shows. She continued that in her later tours, eating a vegan diet when on the road, warming up for 45 minutes before shows, etc.

I agree completely. I've been "on the road" around the world my whole life. It's tough, no doubt.

Well, she was sick for the majority of the let go promo, pre TTSMU, so that worked against her, unfortunately. TBDT was the beginning of her occasionally using autotune, and GL was the birth of The Accent... So I'm going for UMS!

The AL era started off very strong. I still feel like her vocals AL era were the strongest of all her eras(not necessarily on pitch all of the time,but her vocals were solid at first, especially in the above clip.) But toward the end, I don't know WHAT happened. Maybe she changed vocal coaches or something but her technique wasn't the best. Still... performance-wise though, I'm gonna have to give it to GL that is not a improvement of the actual track even with real instruments still uninspiring.

I think UMS & GL had the best vocals. TBDT is pretty good too. AL is the worst for me.
