I saw her live last month and it was easily one of the best shows I've seen all year. She is an excellent singer and performer, her band also kills it.
You're probably a butthurt Joannafag who's disappointed that Divers was good at best and not a masterpiece like you wanted where as HYIMW was the masterpiece you wanted Divers to be.

I'm a huge Newsom fan and Divers is my personal favourite album from her.

You can argue songwriting abilities all day long but OP made a thread about vocals and Julia has a much better voice than Joanna.

It's definitely an 8 at worst. I'd say Divers is a 6 to a 7.

HYIMW is hardly Julia selling out. I don't understand how you might think this. It is no poppier than the poppiest of tracks from LCS.

Why? It might be because it's new to me and I've listened to the other three literally hundreds of times, but I still don't think it's a weak release at all. Maybe not as spectacular as Ys, but definitely still a contender for her best; and I think you could competently argue for any one of her albums taking the top spot.

Why are you guys so stubborn about music taste? You realize it's subjective right? I mean sure you can roughly rank a singers value by their range of pitch and tone but it seems like you guys think your opinions are infallible and jesus fuck it's pretentious.

She comes off as a try hard sometimes, but more often than not ahe seems like a genuine person.

>>60319575

>Just not as good as the others

Well that's what I mean by weak in this context. I think it's just as good as her other albums. Maybe you need to listen to it more, I wasn't super impressed on my first play through either, but that's also been true for me with every Joanna Newsom album.
>>
>>60319660
yes genuinely pretentious
>>
>>60319657
/mu/ is a place where people with mild opinions out-pretentious each other for fun and/or spite
>>
>>60319611

Everyone hates on MEM (relatively to the other albums), but I really think it has a lot of her best songs (CCCC, PPP, Bridges and Balloons, etc), and the delivery on MEM and Ys won't ever be replicated so it's really valuable for that as well.
>>
>Jonanne Newsom

Overrated. And Adele should be top tier. And Bjork shouldn't be on it if we want to consider debut in 21st century only, she had an album out in the 70s.

And thingy should be on here. Angel Olsons. Her voice is great and no it's not just because of the incredible breasts.

She literally has NO range. And all of her music is about encountering men from her past. People like her because her lyrics are shallow and easy to empathize with.

>>60319846
God man it really sucks. 4chan has so much potential to be great without a faggy reddit points system, heavy moderation and open discussion yet just like /pol/ you guys seem to ruin it with a circlejerk that ends up being between two very similar viewpoints arguing. Don't any of you like blues and rock music?

yes, that's why I have to subjective my dingdong into your throat to prove that I am better than you.

She has a decent ranges and a well refined tone. Just because she's pop doesn't mean she sucks.

i just don't understand the appeal of adele. i really dig winehouse though
>>
>>60319971
Her music is definitely boring, but adele does have a good voice. That's really difficult to argue from a technical standpoint.
>>
>>60319926
You have no idea what you're talking about.

We're talking about primarily male topics on a primarily male music board, and you expect this not to turn into a circlejerk? You ma'am, need to go outside more. Find some dudes. Talk to them. Is it not like bouncing rubber off a wall? Yes, welcome.
>>
>>60319950
I'm not really saying that, but what I mean is that a lot of people are giving her more credit than she deserves as a singer. While I agree her breath control is good and her lower register belts sound good too, I don't think she's much better than many other pop singers who have much more exciting music that tends to mask their vocal talent (ie. Sia)

I don't believe she is eligible for this list. If you are one of the best of 20th Century too you don't need to be on this list. Otherwise you could just stick Erykah Badu on here too.

I would add Jessie Ware but her voice is weak. And Florence's voice can be really shit too. I'd add Lykke Li but those are for waifu related reasons.
