Operatic/classical singing is such a silly affectation, I don't understand why or how it has persisted for so long.
Singing from your diaphragm should not require you to also put on the funny accent and wobbly vibrato.

It's one of the worst sounds in existence
And it's a western affectation. Nothing to do with technique.

Aspirational* types like being seen going to it.
Also frequented by wealthy types who believe it makes them cultured.

I love opera, but I don't like crossover stuff like this, stay in your lane etc.
a technique that creates big volume / projection to fill a theatre without the use of microphones just doesn't work for pop songs
was listening to this when I checked in on here

And nothing deadens my soul more than the conductor saying "But now it's time for something a bit more modern"
And the orchestra launches into Eleanor Fucking Rugby. Again.

this is a nice transcription of the score for Eleanor Rigby. a whole orchestra ruins it
clicky
that orchestra was probably totally bored too, and would rather be playing something more difficult

Worked for Klaus Nomi
But then again he had the funny accent to start with.

Good point well made.
He was a wonderful bundle of contradictions though (and could sing equally well in other styles).

One can but hope.
Although, it's a bit of a truism, isn't it.
