#tbh all of them on vocals

[raspberrysmoon]

thinking about joey richter right now

theres something about the way he plays his characters. im not sure what it is. it might be how drastically his voice changes from role to role, or how costuming affects his figure, i dont know. but none of joeys characters look like each other. not really

jon's characters are always jon. paul, richie, trevor, daniel, gary, boy jerry? they look just different enough to seem connected, but not the same. maybe its because his mannerisms barely change- paul and richie both fiddle with their hands while theyre just standing, doing nothing else. maybe its because he just... acts them similarly. but even gary and paul, they feel like the same person. the only exception to this is wiggly, which comes down to vocals.

all of coreys characters are the same way. frank pricely and solomon lauter blend together in my brain like paul and richie do. angela too- despite her lack of characters. lex and grace are angela in a way that none of joeys characters really encompass.

pete and ted, despite being played by the same man, and being brothers, are so strangely distinct from each other. then, wilbur cross, ethan green, thrash and dan reynolds look nothing like the spankoffskis or eachother. all the way back to ron weasley and owen carvour. they dont look like joey. they sound like him, usually, owen and wilbur especially, but they dont really ever look like joey. i had no idea that dan reynolds or ron weasley were even played by him until i was told.

not sure what it is that makes him special. none of his roles- none of them- look like each other. even lauren, kim and curt, who all have a similar phenomenon. emma perkins, brooke and jingle (her elf from black friday) come to mind for lauren, while officer bailey, agent curt mega (of course) and mark chasity come to mind for curt. they just seem like the actor theyre being played by, and they seem like each other.

but joeys characters dont blend together like that in my mind.

down bad so i need to know everyone’s favorite patrick vocal deliveries, like yeah yeah, favorite lyrics we all have em, but like what are the lines that when sung by patrick stump just straight up obliterated your entire fucking brain chemistry

Guys is this a safe space?👀

Just stumbled upon a st*y k*dz concrt (2023 i think) on tv and ig it was time for solo perfs bc there was 1 one member on stage singing,(vocals, not rap) standing with a mic stand (so there wasnt any dance or jumping, it was a loud ballad) singing OFF KEY the ENTIRE TIME without any backing vocals...

Out of curiosity, was that a one time thing or do they suck in vocals?

i dare you to write an essay about vivo 🙊

oh my god, yes, finally someone who wants to hear about vivo THANK YOU BEL ANON FOR THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY.

so first of all, who is vivo? vivo is a kinkajou anon, and you would probably ask me now: what's a kinkajou? oh baby, i think that you're ready to learn a thing or two it's a yellow monkey (idk i'm dumb, ok? but he is cute and he has a little hat and big brown eyes and lin-manuel miranda's voice), he lives in cuba and he is a puerto rican rapper making music with his best friend andrés.

okay, you may be thinking: what's a kinkajou doing playing music in cuba, don't they like usually live in the rain forest? well, maybe he fell in a shipping crate as a baby, next thing he knew, he was somewhere new, he wasn't singing the same chorus-

and then andrés found him and saved his life and they have been best friends ever since.

but then, like 15 min into the movie, andrés dies. pretty fucked up if you ask me. and now vivo is on a mission to deliver a love song written by andrés to marta, the woman he was in love with. and gabi, his new friend, helps him.

(of course they don't get along at the beginning)

the whole story is amazing. the soundtrack slaps, but what else did you expect, it's literally lin-manuel miranda. the thing is, it's actually so underrated and no one ever talks about it, so it's my duty to force all of you to watch it now. please, do it. i promise you it's amazing.

I tried listening to Olivia Rodrigo and I'm sure this is really good for its target audience of Teen Girls Going Through A Breakup but has she actually ever put out a song that isn't about a guy cheating, breaking up with her and moving on to someone else?

like babe he's not coming back it's been 2 years you gotta find something else in your life

[happylandfill23]

is it odd to listen to your own music while doing things

[lalilsa]

chiquita and rora vocal tone are my favorite thing in this world

[sanstropfremir]

if eric nam asked you instead of mark lee which 5 idols, out of any idols, you could put together to form a supergroup, who would they be?

taemin ten chen kyungsoo sungkyu EASY. would the group be a mess? absolutely. but would the music be insane? also absolutely.

[comas-are-for-sleeping]

literally Cannot stop thinking about how all the musicians i love for their rlly raw political music that hits just right and yet now (and tbh realizing always) theyre silent on everything going on rn? like i thought they actually stood for something bc their music does Not tip toe around shit but here we are??? and nothing??? maybe im not paying attention but like. dude.

and they cant even make the “oh but itll ruin my career” because they built themselves on saying theyd say what they believed in whether or not it fucked with their popularity or their ability to make money. like these artists made me give hope in artists creating art for art’s sake, but also to spread really important messages. and yet

[linagram characters' vocals ranked from best to worst]

huge thanks to my friend for reminding me to do this, i was meaning to, but then. uni.

so yeah, you know how milgram didn't actually just get ten (eleven, if you count es) people who are not only murderers, but are also good at singing and their real vocals may not actually be that good (for example, mahiru)?

yeah, so here's a ranking of how good everyone's real vocals are to how. bad they are.

1. naomi (has a surprisingly pretty and calming voice, though she rarely sings. her younger sister is pretty good at singing as well, so maybe it's a genetics-related thing in some way. she stopped singing at all after her father had said that her voice is perfect for singing lullabies and since she's not interested in becoming a mother at all.. yeah.)

2. kei (his vocals are definitely not for everyone, but THE RANGE HE HAS?? he can easily go from a very high-pitched and feminine-sounding voice (he's also really good at sounding like a child) to a very low-pitched and scary voice in a minute. when his friends heard him sing for the first time, they couldn't believe just how good he was and joked about him "stealing their girlfriends" because of how talented he is. he doesn't know why he's so good at it and just thinks it's because all sanadas are creative in some way.)

3. aimi (just like naomi, has a very soft voice, though hers sounds more "cute". some of her family members have joked about her having the talent and the looks to become an idol, but aimi isn't really interested in that. she's not interested in having fans, she just wants to have friends.)

4. riku ("he's in a band, why is he not the best one" honestly.. i don't imagine his voice being THE best one? i certainly think riku's voice would be very powerful and he would have a wide range, but it's not always that pleasant to listen to. i imagine his vocals being good, but not.. unique, you know? he's very insecure about it too and it doesn't help that he has some problems with his throat, so he has to be very careful. i also imagine him to be a better songwriter and a guitarist rather than a vocalist.)

5. yurika (just like kei, she can easily change her voice and it's surprisingly strong, so yeah, she can still definitely handle a song like meme. however, she's lower than riku because her voice is a little.. like, again, i don't think people would enjoy listening to her real voice that much. her real singing literally sounds like screaming sometimes.)

6. eiko (not particularly good, but not particularly bad. her vocals are not that special, but she's also not as bad as the prisoners below. she doesn't really care about that though, since she's not interested in singing anyway. however, she's confident enough to assume eiji will like her voice in her first vd, so yeah, queen behavior.)

7. reina (her voice is way too high-pitched so when she starts singing, it sounds like a crying child.)

8. asahi (WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM A 12 YEAR OLD.)

9. akio (can't sing to save his life. arata loves to make fun of him for that)

10. shun (shun.)

it's a bit hard to talk about the guards' vocals, but surprisingly, hiyuu is actually the most musically gifted out of all of them. just like kei's voice, his voice is not for everyone and it's very quiet and whispery, but he has the most experience with singing and music in general out of all three. he would most likely be between riku and yurika.

miki comes second, i think she would have the potential, but because of how much of an anxious wreck this girl is, her voice wouldn't be that strong and it would be hard for her to sing fast-paced songs or songs that require more powerful vocals. it would be hard for her to sing certain notes too and she doesn't have much experience, so i think she'd be somewhere between yurika and eiko.

eiji. oh, eiji. i actually think his "milgram" vocals would be SO GOOD, like i just know his cover of animal with the amane cover instrumental would sound amazing, but in real life.. he's not that good at singing. yeah, he's terrible actually. most of the time he can't sing even one line because he just goes "UGH THIS IS STUPID" and leaves. which is a shame because sanadas love going to karaoke, so kei kinda forces him to sing at least something. he'd be somewhere between akio and shun. asahi point and laugh at him.

[tenrose]

I still have my opinion about the song but the more I watch the choreography, the more like it. Also I think Dami, Siyeon and Gahyeon really own that swag vibe with their moves and attitudes.

[rigels-nigels]

I think Lacrimosa is something that could be so knives core

[talysalankil]

Every time i think ‘no this is definitely my favorite stray gods song’ I’m hit by another one

[gothmods]

Immune to the psychic damage of pitchfork reviews because i cannot take a reviewer seriously if they dont actually talk about music as in the musical construction of a song the elements that go into it the key the tone like GOD what is the point of writing about music if you arent going to engage with composing as a craft
