Question

Why can't Beyonce ever sing opera to save her life?

Answer 1

It is because she does not sing the style of opera. Her voice somewhat lacks the power needed it opera.

Answer 2

Opera is a whole different ball game to r&b. it takes much much more control and training like you wouldn't believe.

Answer 3

You obviously have a 'thing' for Beyoncé, and there's nothing wrong with that. But she will never, ever sing opera; at least, not as it should be sung. To put it plainly: she doesn't have the right voice for it, and that's that. I know you'll disagree, but you'll get over your infatuation, eventually.

Answer 4

Because for opera you need a good voice...

It's not news to anybody here that she uses autotune, plus the style of music she sings lacks the oopmh of opera. It is quick and floaty, opera is more guttural and thick.

Answer 5

You need to think of opera singing as a job that needs a minimum 4 years of training at a top music college.



For this job you need to be able to memorise several long songs often in foreign languages for each opera performance.



While you are singing these songs you also have to act.



You need to a have a very powerful voice so that you can sing over a full orchestra and still be heard on the back row of the opera house.

Answer 6

"What can't she do in Opera that won't take her longer than a year to master????"



Opera singers train for several years to reach the required standard, so there is NOTHING Beyoncé can do in a year to turn her into an opera singer. And singing in front of 50 people in a small hall is not quite the same as performing in a huge opera house holding 2,000 people and with the sound of an orchestra to sing over.



Please end this obsession of yours.

One of the most diverse muscles in our bodies is the tongue. This amazing tool not only helps you talk, but also helps you properly sing. When you sing, it is important that your tongue rest in specific areas as certain notes or scales are attempted. Learn here how to sing https://tr.im/M2uAz

The tip of the tongue is the easiest to control, but is not what is used the most in singing. When you sing, the tip of your tongue should be lightly pressed against the back of the lower teeth. This will ensure that it doesn't get in the way, or hinder the middle, sides, or back of the tongue when attempting certain notes. The back of the tongue, probably one of the hardest areas to control, should be the section that is relaxed. Once you get used to keeping the tip of your tongue lightly pressed against the back of your teeth, this should be easier to do. You can even put the tip a little lower if you feel it's in the way or becomes irritated. So, the back of the tongue should be relaxed, yet ready for use. You should be able to control it a little bit at this point. As you practice singing a little more, try to notice what the back and middle section of your tongue are doing. On lower tones or notes, the tongue will lie flat. On higher tones, the contrary. When it comes to lower tones, the tongue doesn't have as much work to do because the lower sound that is emitted originates in the chest cavity and is formed through the throat. With higher tones, however, the higher the tone, the more 'active' this back section of the tongue must be. Now that the tongue has been covered in some detail, it should be noted that singing is difficult on the muscles and surrounding cavities and ligaments. However, difficult does not mean painful. If in hopes of reaching a certain tone or trying to hold a sound, you thereby cause stress to your neck or throat muscles, you are not going to last long. Controlling these muscles, as steadily as possible, and working them to a certain point each day, without strain, is one of the most important factors when it comes to practicing and learning how to sing. Remember, you should never feel pain nor strain.

Answer 10

Probably the main reason Beyonce can't do opera has a lot to do with that she doesn't need to sing opera to be a successful singer, and she probably doesn't want to. If she hasn't a problem with it, why do you? If you must compare her to other singers, it would be more appropriate to compare her to other R&B and pop artists. She can sing the the hair extensions off Nicki Minaj.



Your first "example" only indicates how thin Beyonce's voice is--not how strong it is. Her low notes are very weak and she can hardly be heard over the guitar.



The second example is pure nonsense--she is again singing with a microphone.



No one is saying Beyonce can't sing, but even at the recent Superbowl, she didn't want to chance singing a live performance of the "Star Spangled Banner". She lip synched her own vocals that were recorded earlier (actually Whitney Houston did the same things years ago).



But you really need to listen to some actual opera singers--attend a couple of live performances of a full production, to get an idea of what opera actually involves and what it's supposed to sound like. You might prefer Beyonce's lighter voice, but it's not suitable for opera. Maybe opera singers shouldn't sing something like "Bootylicious" either, but opera is more than just singing a couple of songs on key and in a high register.



First of all, stop with thinking "high pitches" mean opera. This is an opera singer too:

Furthermore, in addition to just singing, opera singers need to know several different foreign languages. It's not enough to just learn things phonetically. You have to have adequate understanding of what the heck you're singing (words and phrases can lose meaning in translation).



Here are some examples of other opera singers and how difficult and intricate this music can get. Plus these arias would be part of two to three hour productions.



Joyce DiDonato (mezzo-soprano)--

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysGFMx6NOEY



Beverly Sills (soprano)--I take your Beyonce voice control and raise you one-- especially listen to the held note at 2:36 to 2:59 where she actually gets louder toward the end. By the way, the entire scene is nearly 14 minutes long in which she would be on stage in a heavy costume under lights and singing with no microphones over an orchestra and full chorus.

Natalie Dessay (soprano)--this starts off acapella. Then the orchestra comes in (so the singer had BETTER be on key).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TenJ_F9Tqps



This is soprano Kathleen Battle, whose voice was considered "small" by opera standards--and still isn't using the same sort of microphones as Beyonce needs (any mics are to record the concert).

Probably among the most demanding operatic repertoire, is music written by Richard Wagner. Tackled by only the most powerful and well-trained singers. Skip to 1:24 when Jessye Norman comes in. Notice how open her mouth must be in order to project her voice. Here she is in concert performing another Wagner arias. Wagner operas can be 3 1/2 to 5 hours long (not counting intermissions or how long it would take to do the entire "Ring" cycle). And how long is Beyonce on stage?

Beyonce is very successful at what she does. All you are doing by constantly insisting she is something she is not, is diminishing what talent she does have by comparing her unfavorably in a medium she never even attempted to venture into.
