Atomsk Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hey all, I'm new to the forum here, so I guess a quick intro is due. I'm a pretty new fan to Paramore. I've known about them for a while now, but I was never into them until recently while watching videos on Youtube. When I saw Hayley singing, I was hooked. Paramore is incredible, and it's insane how they perform live with such precision. So yeah, something's been bugging me lately on Youtube. The thing I most like about Paramore is watching Hayley sing live. She's a great live performer, and it's refreshing to see that her singing abilities are not studio-produced. (BTW: I'm a fan of Paramore for the whole band. All the musicians are crazy good. But I think Hayley is what tie's it together for me.) I dunno what's going on though. It seems like a lot of her recent performances aren't at par with how she used to sing (Cause I've seen videos from previous years). Idk, I guess it seems like she's yelling/shouting/talking a lot more than singing. I keep telling myself that the constant strain of singing hard everynight on tour can get to someone as good as Hayley, but I want some reassurance from more hardcore fans. I don't want to see what hooked me on the band ruined, yaknow? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristen Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sometimes belting can seem like shouting, but she's really pushing those high/long powerful notes out. And they've been on tour for awhile now, and while she knows how to take care of her voice, it's probably had some effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to agree with what you said here. They've been on tour for a while with a few breaks in between. But eventually, after as many shows as they've played, your voice will get the best of you until you take a good long break. It's like a car. After 200,000 miles, you car can be two things: 1.) Really crappy if you didn't take good care of it. or 2.) In good shape because you did your best to take care of it. And she does take good care of her voice, like no dairy (she used to do that. I don't think she does anymore.) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Josh, I can see what you mean, and I agree with what all of you guys have said. Hayley takes really good care of her voice and knows what's not good for it, but it is inevitable that her voice is going to suffer after a lengthy tour. Hayles is just dedicated to putting on a good performance, she won't shy away from the bigger notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hey guys thanks for the replies. I'm glad to hear it. Well I think Final Riot is ending soon, so hopefully then she'll have a well-deserved break . But yeah again thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristen Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 And she does take good care of her voice, like no dairy (she used to do that. I don't think she does anymore.) etc. I think she does. Recently I read at a meet and greet or something someone asked if she was drinking a milkshake/eating ice cream (something like that) that was dairy and she said it was soy.

Wildman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think she must be tired, sore throats are common among vocalists. I saw her live online at the concert I wanted to be at, she sounded very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyHeartBeats4U Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 All singers probably have bad days & I'm sure singing non-stop when on tour can really hurt your voice after a while but Hayley always sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxchick93 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 i get wat u mean. earlier preformances she sounded better. but earlier they didnt play as much. i still think she sounds amazing even though some time she does all these wierd things with her voice she changes it up alot. so its cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth. Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yes, I think it's because of constant touring and such, all the singing. But I still think she sounds amazing. Plus, I think the songs on Riot! are more yell-ish, while AWKIF songs have more melody, in my opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDIEGO Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Did you see her perform live recently? Cause she's been crazy busy on tour and i'm sure now that this is the end of the tour her voice is crying for a break! Take a look at this youtube video of her and about her singing, her voice and the fact that it can be straining!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx2QNj6nJz0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah I've seen that video. It definitely shows off her voice. Especially the part when she sings "Give us Life again". That part is incredible @__@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
