      Until either of those singers go on hormones/have surgery to change their voices, their vocal abilities (especially their vocal ranges) are always going to be limited by their biological sex and that’s just a harsh reality of it.

      It's a stylistic preference. Usher, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson, Jason Derulo, Michael Jagger, Chris Brown, NSYNC, BTS, they all sing and dance. From a few moments of madness, to entire well planned out choreography. There are many who play instruments while singing, so what do they do specifically that no male does?

      Stupid good indeed. However (and this is a hot take), she ain't no pop star. She's more of in the vein of rock and alt rock. Frontmen and women SHOULD know how to hype up crowds. Rockstars should know banter cause no one is there to watch them dance. Also doesn't help that Paramore came out in the age where live shows were crazy and showmanship was part of the deal (all the guitar flipping and jumping around). I remember the watching We The Kings on a mall tour here in the Philippines and they were all around the stage. That era performers was epic and Hayley was the best at the showman thing lol

    As once Queen Taylor Swift said and I quote, “Female artists in music have dominated this decade in growth, streaming, record and ticket sales, and critical acclaim. So why are we doing so well? Because we have to grow fast. We have to work this hard, we have to prove that we deserve this, and we have to top our last achievements.”

      Agreed, but it also has to do with what the fans of said artist expect. Artist like Taylor Swift are mostly followed by girls and us gays, and we expect that kind of drama theatrics and vocal slayege. Male singers tend to do different types of music as well, Ed Sheehan, Charlie puth, Shawn can do just find with their lyrics, their guitar/piano, and their looks, usually theit music is more similar to Taylor's folklore, but because women of the past put the bar so high (cause they had to) women nowadays are expected to reach those standards. Nowadays I also feel like unless you are a rapper it's harder to grow as a male artist.

    It’s so frustrating because female singers are expecting to put on a whole ass show. With most female pop singers doing dance numbers, costume changes, walking/running in heels and belting lyrics. Where as men are praised/given the same credit for just standing there. This is more a comment on media because it is up to the artist in what they do onstage. But I fell that female singers are pressured into doing these big stage numbers to ensure they get the recognition they deserve for their vocals alone.

      @@jackdawkins1241 No, It has nothing to do with gender or sexuality- It's based on wanna-be singers. It's only people who want to sing themselves who do this. (most people can't really tell how hard a vocal is and mostly just assume that it's genetic) We can argue that most wanna-be singers are either women or LGBTQ, but considering that men who are wanna-be singers are just as bad... It can be said that the internet vocal community isn't really very representative of their communities outside of the vocal community. So gender and sexuality is just kind of irrelevant and missing the point.
      Besides, No one's blaming men for this. To try and distance men from stan wars is unnecessarily defensive. Especially when you try to distance men from pop music- Pop music is short for popular music, and considering that men contribute to the music industry probably just as much as women do, they definitely care about pop music. They'd have to be going incredibly far out of their way to avoid pop music- Chances are you'd have to literally abandon your favourite artist at some point to avoid it. And no person is going to be doing that unless they have a vendetta against people in general.

Men = more testosterone = biologically, statistically, deeper voices. Kind of embarrassing. Though remember, this is only a discussion in pop (and maybe pop rock if you wanna count in modern pop punk bands, and indie bands that don't focus solely on technique, this is why rock is a different discussion). Though female singers even with their more developed lower registers, still tend to have bright and hyperfeminine tones, some deeper/more unique and warmer female tones like WILLOW, Miley, Azealia Banks would be MUCH appreciated :)) AS WELL AS lower register/toned males!!

    As an opera and musical theatre singer, I gotta say that expectations are Sooo much different. Some of this is biological stuff I wish you went into detail on (ie higher voices start mixing sooner in their range but can often mix higher than lower voices before needing to switch to head voice and whistle register; making it unfair to compare belt range and balance as higher voices need more head voice sooner into that mix due to thin vocal chords)
    Musical Theatre in particular is THE WORST when it comes to double expectations. The majority of roles on Broadway are for men, there are plenty of gender breakdowns to look at, yet the majority of auditioning actors are cis women or trans or non-binary. Because men are so desperately needed to fill these roles and because so many directors and rights holders are against gender-bent casting, guys don’t need to be as versatile to get consistent roles. Plenty of guys have made full careers singing nothing but Golden Age legit Bari roles where you don’t have to sing above a G4, and then get patted on the back like crazy the one time they stumble through “Bring it home” in concert (Omigaosh, he kinda knows what falsetto is, never seen that one before) where as women need to be skilled in every style and genre to stay a float, every performer known as a legit soprano in MT has either switched over to opera or came to Broadway after decades in opera, or they have several belt roles under their belt from early to mid career (a la Kristen Chenoweth in Charlie Brown/Apple Tree/most of her roles, Audra in Dreamgirls, Jill Paice in Chess), Kelli O’Hara actually fits in both categories. Any modern big belter is also bound to have some legit pieces in their rep (Cynthia Erivo, Taylor Louderman, Sutton Foster, Stephanie J Block)
    Basically, ladies kinda need a 3 octave range to stay afloat, guys are applauded for having almost 2 octaves.

One of the big selling points is emotion turned up to 11, which is probably why I like vocal imperfection in blues and rock and roll but not in pop.

      Propably it's because perfect pitch doesn't exist in the way you think it exists. If it existed even Pavorotti (Who also has "perfect pitch" and is better to sing sustained notes (bc he is a classical singer)) would sound like a robot.
      To ilustrate better, imagine that pitch is a yellow line that go up and down everytime. It happens because our vocal folda has to vibrate to make a sound. So when you sing a note this line goes up and down really fast. Frequently these vibrations will simply not be able to stay the same, they will also fails to go down or up.

I think the same applies to female pop stars rather it’s vocals, dancing/stage presence, songwriting, artistry, longevity/reinventions, etc they are no choice but to be better bc in the industry sexist discrimination is real and artist development for major label pop stars are basically non existent due to major labels cutting budgets from streaming taking away the massive revenues they used to have when physical albums and digital download were the main consumers. Female pop stars especially female pop stars of color gotta be 100x better while mostly white male pop stars are able to be stale in their talent, meanwhile the most talented male pop stars are the ones who are men of color who thanks to r@cism aren’t given that much prominent or if they do it’s an expectation and a catch

However at that time Joes voice wasn't that good now though it's just amazing m

    God, men in pop embarrass me, Straight up. And it upsets me too- I'm a dude, and I've always wanted to get into singing, but because I have very few selections to pick between in men (And even then they're still not that good in the general scheme of things), it's resulted in me having to tonally match women and it's just become this cycle of men being bad in pop, which causes untrained male pop stars to tonally match women, which then makes them worse than the generation before them. It's just... eh.
    Pop is a sad genre.

    Yep, they should step it all the way up or better yet, the mainstream ones need to take a step back so the underrated male vocalists who can keep up with the talented mainstream female vocalists, can step forward. Eg.
    1. Jordan Fisher
    2. Avery Wilson
    3. Gabriel Henrique
    Edit:
    4. Adam Lambert (he's somewhat mainstream yet also underrated).
    It's hard to think of others at the moment, but I'm certain that there are many more.

      Jason Derulo's catalog is trash, but he's really underrated as a vocalist
      Dan Reynolds ( idk if Imagine Dragons qualifies as pop or rock )
      Chris Martin ( one of our few notable baritones btw )
      Hozier ( probably baritone as well )
      And there's probably a few more but right now I can only think of R'n'b singers

    I couldn't agree more with the last statement! Musical theatre and opera have such high standards for EVERYONE. Which is why I almost exclusively take inspiration from there.
    I have also noticed that in both industries you get a lot more diversity when it comes to voice types and qualities while Pop music tends to promote the same voices (with the same problems) over and over again.

    Yes. Finally someone said it.
    Artists like Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams, Ariana Grande and on and on and on … have more talent and creativity in a single EP or Album than most modern male artists have in their entire body of work.
    Taylor has dropped three number one albums in less than a year in the middle of a pandemic after having her entire catalog and life’s work essentially stolen from her which left her no choice but to re-record all SIX of her albums and that takes an unbelievable amount of work having to work with engineers to duplicate the exact sound and vocals that were made over a decade ago so that fans can listen to the new versions without having to pick between the original or re-recorded ones in case the music didn’t stay authentic and true to the original that they fell in love with years ago. A fucking monumental task and the reason most artists don’t go that route at all. I get hives just thinking about them taking that on lol
    Ari released two absolutely incredible number one albums in a year of her life that included the Manchester bombings, breaking up with her boyfriend of years, calling off an engagement, and her ex dying of an overdose. In one year. The fact that she delivered two albums was unbelievable in and of itself but to maintain that best of the best quality that all her music has and release what I think is the absolute best work she’s ever made is just harrowing.
    And I won’t even get into Beyoncé’s career and her Coachella Homecoming performances and documentary after a long and complicated pregnancy with twins …. What the absolute fuck.
    I know I’m listing three of the best female artists but I honestly feel like everytime I start listening to a new female indie artist I’m just blown away more often than not, so I don’t know what it is, but these ladies are superhuman and while there are obviously exceptions and some truly incredible male artists as well, there’s just not as consistent of a broad spectrum of talented artists. Especially when we’re talking about solo artists.
    Sorry for the novel. I get passionate.
    It’s embarrassing.
    🤦🏻‍♀️🤙🏼

      As a fan of all these groups I hate to say it but a huge majority of Kpop is very heavily autotuned. Because they are expected to dance in their performances it's very rare for a Kpop group to actually sing live. I'd say Kpop group singers lip sync a lot (purely because most audiences still expect them to dance and it's impossible to hit a lot of notes while dancing at the high standard they do). Huge Kpop fan but live singing in Kpop groups is very rare.
