I guess no one here read the Rolling Stone interview where she said she was going for a sound that was
like "Janis Joplin singing Aretha", or something to that effect. Given that piece of information, I think it's pretty obvious that the
hoarseness was intentional. I hope she doesn't drag that sound throughout the entire album, though. I can take Janis only in small doses.
So shes "faked" the hoarse vocals? thats sort of annoying...if someone has a naturally horse voice it works i.e Pink but Alicia has never had
a hoarse voice...i know some people have said she has often sounded out of her range but it didnt sound hoarse, a little strained maybe but thats a different
topic altogether lol
Intentionally tryin to sound hoarse is like trying to make people think shes singing passionatley and with soul and then you hear she deliberatley tried to
sound like that and it feels false instead of coming from the heart.
