Two day's topic, Michael Jackson's voice. When I heard Michael Jackson, the

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:13.480
singer, I never really recognized the
changes in his voice. When I listened

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:19.320
to him growing up, I noticed
that he had a very high voice range

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.920
I could not tell when he sounded
a little raspy. All I was hearing

5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.000
was a child's voice when he was
a boy. To me, his singing

6
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:39.200
was perfect, and when I would
try to sing with his records, I

7
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:46.640
didn't feel comfortable singing in high range
with him. Michael could sing very high

8
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:53.799
and loud. I wasn't a loud
singer. I just sanged out enough to

9
00:00:53.880 --> 00:01:03.719
be heard. Singing along with Michael's
voice was never easy. Be the two

10
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:11.040
of us need look no more.
Starting out with him was okay, But

11
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:21.680
when he started singing in that high
range with the friend to call mine,

12
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.719
that's the part that's not always easy. When I began listening to Michael Jackson

13
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:36.000
when he was at the age eighteen
or nineteen, then I noticed that he

14
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:44.599
was no longer singing like little Michael
Jackson. I noticed his voice changed then,

15
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.879
but I never paid much attention to
it because I loved his singing.

16
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:56.439
Still. To my ears, he
had a great sounding voice as an adult

17
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:04.439
soprano. Ooh, just the who
bitter you every day. Michael still had

18
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.080
a beautiful, young sounding voice as
a young man. When he started singing

19
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.000
his hit singles in his twenties like
Rock with You, I ain't notice the

20
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:22.599
shaking his voice. More closure eyes, let the rhythm get in to you.

21
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.479
And as the years went by,
as Michael Jackson got older, his

22
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:38.319
voice changed some more. His voice
got more raspy and sometimes deep. But

23
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:45.120
even his raspy voice sounded good to
me. I still enjoyed hearing him sing

24
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:52.360
because I could still hear Michael Jackson. I'm Gael Nobles, thank you for

25
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.280
tuning in, and goodbye for now.
