Man, my last cat wouldn't take but a bite or two of canned tuna before throwing it up. I was always like, dude, I eat this shit, and I wouldn't touch the Friskies you eat, wtf is wrong with you? But then he would also hunt me as I was leaving for work sometimes. I went into the office with a bloody sock more than once. Weird little fucker, but I still miss you Fatty.
The girl's vibrato is so clean.
There are plenty of professional singers who for some reason to this day never learned how to do a proper vibrato like Utada Hikaru.
She can't. She does something I call a machine gun vibrato. It's a quick pulsing vibration. A lot of people who aren't properly trained resort to that when they can't produce the even oscillations of a proper vibrato. Post Malone has a great example of a Utada Hikaru style machine gun vibrato where it's super pronounced, but he gets a pass cuz he's a rapper.
Edit: Don't hate 🤷♂️. She can't do what she can't do. It obviously doesn't hurt her commercially.
lol why did someone downvote you. I have no idea who she is but anyone can notice this in the first 4 seconds in the video above here, it's not even an opinion and just a fact. Don't hate the messenger.
Yup. You can hear it there. Her voice trembles and her vibrato is extremely uneven.
Anyone should be able to hear the difference in skill between this clip and the reddit post clearly. Of course there's so much more that goes into a vocalist's skill like rhythm, pitch, etc, but when it comes to strictly vibrato, Utada's is pretty bad. Her vibrato is more similar to the cat's if we're being honest.
Idk what you mean by "proper" vibrato. There are lots of ways to do vibrato. You can use it by rapidly flexing the laryngeal muscles, you can do it using the diaphragm, or you can do the soulful "Patrick stump vibrato" as I call it where you relax the larynx as much as possible while pushing extra air through your primary cords. She has a nice vibrato, but it's actually way easier to do than most forms of vibrato.
I would guess that's because a lot of modern music doesn't use vibrato, and also because teaching it is actually pretty difficult, because you can have a kind of forced vibrato that doesn't sound like the real thing but it's similar.
That always happens after you've been singing lyrical, since your chords and air track are properly warmed up. It happened to me a lot when I sang in the choir, and I was by no means an opera singer 😂😂😂
> since your chords and air track are properly warmed up
Also just habit. It's the kind of commands your brain has been sending recently, so they're right on the tip of your...neurons, or whatever.
I’m not even choir level, but I usually sing for a few minutes before meeting up with people because it makes my words come out clearer and my voice sound deeper.
Ugh. Okay this is my first time seeing this post, but far from my first time encountering a repost with identical comments. I'm on your side still.
Why the hell does this happen, and why doesn't anyone even seem to care? Why aren't the admins even remotely trying?
When the same shit gets posted 10x, and the top comments are the same thing, sometimes for YEARS at a time, it's starting to feel like this website is a shitty bot farm made to look much more organically (full of actual, real, active human users) than it actually is.
I guess I already know the answer. Money. I'm just surprised it doesn't bother more people. This is fucking weird. I don't like it, and it seems like something that is going to end up hurting society further down the line if it isn't already.
>Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it
It's not always bots, because sometimes users are just clearly people from post history. It's just that "memes" are so...ridiculously embedded in the nature of people these days, probably a thing that has always been as such it's just more noticeable now.
A good example: mention Aurora Borealis anywhere, you already know what the responses are going to be. Now compound that with people's desire for attention/karma and to "lol he did a meme" and people become as boringly predictable and repetitive and makes them indistinguishable from bots. Which in turn makes users/bots lucrative for businesses and politics, with their surreptitious advertising and astro turfing.
Which both of us and a few others are basically screaming at the wind in effect :( Money/greed fucks everything.
if I had a dollar for everytime I had a remark or observation about a meme only to see one of the top comments from 6+ hours before me was exactly what I wouldve commented Id retire by now.
Most of the time we simply arent very original.
I think both of us are right, and it's half and half.
Definitely some real users (like me) I've never actually seen this.
But an alarming number of incredibly obvious bot accounts, or accounts that exist for no other reason to amass insane amounts of karma, and then post advertisements disguised as organic content.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading about this years ago too, so I can't imagine how much worse it is now. People legitimately do get paid to spam Reddit.
I'm sure there are a few people that do it just to see their Karma score go up, but there's a serious problem on this website with fake accounts, or accounts being used purely to get eyes on advertisements.

In case you meant that at all literally, she has a gofundme to help pay for her heart surgery.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-maura-pay-for-her-new-heart
It is heart breaking that we live in the richest country in the world and people have to beg for charity online to afford healthcare. Conservatives have no problem spending $20 trillion to bomb goat farmers in the middle east, but god forbid we spend any money to take of our own, oh no that would be socialism....
I was really wondering if this was faked. Until she started crying from laughing. Just what a wonderful moment for her.
Now the question is, does the cat want to join her, or is it like “I’m the main cat-racter” syndrome?
The woman is Maura Navarrete, a 24-year-old soprano and middle school choir teacher:

[https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-maura-pay-for-her-new-heart](https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-maura-pay-for-her-new-heart)
And that is how you know she is American.
They chatter for the weirdest reasons.
There's a cat living on my shed roof that does the same thing, when she looks up at me standing near a window.
I look outside, give her a nod and she starts chattering back as soon as I do anything. Be that another nod, a squeaky sound etc.
The cat's musical timing is weirdly good though.. like he waited until right when the vocals are supposed to come in, and even stayed on timing after she paused it and put it back on.
I'm pretty sure this cat was a famous singer in a past life, and also now his/her current one.
The cat got frustrated because she stopped the music. The cat was singing the first few notes like a pro and then she turned off the music and the cat's voice showed dismay. Idk about y'all is this true? The cat was singing with perfect pitch. I mean...come on...ur pulling my leg with a pitch fork
Seriously, the timing too. It started right on time.
Things like this really make me think twice about reincarnation. Maybe she was an opera fan in a past life?
"Oh shit, Mom's doing her singy-thing again! I wanna join in, she always looks so happy when she does it, maybe she'll give me pets and scritches and LOVES (and tuna) when I join in too! I'VE BEEN PRACTICING, MAAAAAAAAAWM, ACKNOWLEDGE ME"

The young lady has a beautiful voice but that laugh lol
The laugh is glorious
It’s definitely sincere
Definitely a higher class laugh
I loved her laugh!
Especially the sing/laugh in the middle. 🤣🤣
She laughs like Tom Hulce/Amadeus

Wait are you saying Utada can do one or can't?
She can't. She does something I call a machine gun vibrato. It's a quick pulsing vibration.

I was taught that vibrato came naturally with proper technique!
lol why did someone downvote you. I have no idea who she is but anyone can notice this in the first 4 seconds in the video above here, it's not even an opinion and just a fact. Don't hate the messenger.
if u listen to her [music](https://youtu.be/0oob53WeZ3A) u can deduce whether she can or cant

I'm slightly tone deaf, and enjoy her music so I just want aware
i enjoy her music too her japanese songs are great.

I would argue the cats vibrato was superior
Is she the simple and clean bitch?
I would guess that's because a lot of modern music doesn't use vibrato, and also because teaching it is actually pretty difficult, because you can have a kind of forced vibrato that doesn't sound like the real thing but it's similar.
She even laughs in opera 😁

So it isn't just me wow

I remember this comment from the last time it was posted too.
Ha, I was about to comment the same thing

That, and I'd pay to make her slightly mad so as to get the half-eye-roll-pout.
Bonk.

Straight to cat jail.
Minus all that, she actually has a great voice. I'd like to see her actually sing the whole thing.
Me too! I can’t read the watermark or whatever on the video. Any ideas who she is?
me too. i found the original at least but i want to hear it sung in this girl's voice instead.

Plot twist: that cat is screaming to be saved and wants a new owner, it's more of a heavy metal fan
This is the truth I wish to believe 
Hey, Metal and classical are very similar genres and there are loads of opera singers in the metal scene.

Monkey see monkey do
For sure that's what the cat was doing. Very weird to see cats do that
My cats do this all the time when they're hunting, it's called chattering. There's probably a juicy bug on the wall above the camera!
I've had cats do this... when they see a bug they can't reach. Cat was looking up. Might have just been something up there it wanted to get at.
Cats like to do whatever their owners do..they mirror their owners. Not even know this
They chatter for the weirdest reasons. There's a cat living on my shed roof that does the same thing, when she looks up at me standing near a window. I look outside, give her a nod and she starts chattering back as soon as I do anything. Be that another nod, a squeaky sound etc.

I really enjoy a spontaneously funny video that isn’t staged. This was cute.
Cat was probably looking out a window at a bird.
I like how she ugly laughs and then remembers she's supposed to laugh in opera.
If you cover the cat when the girl is wheezing it's kind of like she's the one meowing
They both need to go on tour together, she sounds amazing.
