You may have already seen this as it is a bit old but I just came across it. I hope you enjoy it as much as did I.

or "Summertime", "Ball and Chain" or "Try"Probably not, but I think she could.

That was horrible...had to turn it off after 5 seconds.How can people stand to listen to crap like that?JMNSHO...
You're kidding on that one right?
Must be a parody..... That blond sounds about as natural as tin-foil
Whatever the music genre, and whether you like the music or not, at 11yrs old, that little girl can really sing well. Sure she may have a pitch problem or two and it was not a perfect performance--what is?, but VERY few grown ups can hold a note the way she did and she'd wipe the floor with half of the contestants left on American Idol.
Bianca Ryan...Now THERE'S a natural sounding voice!!!

but at 11 how's her voice change going to affect her? No one knows. Who cares? she's great.
Also, who was the female judge? Brandi?

that brand of pseudo-diva-esque cloyingly over-emotive drivel that passes for soul makes my skin crawl. Maybe a litte taste and restraint is in order. Hope she finds a good coach.
Makes an 11-year-old girl sound exactly like a generic modern pop singer.....If I didn't see or know who it was, I would have guessed she was 22....
I heard this girl perform on that amateur talent show, and she did not have or need pitch correction for her songs. She had excellent pitch, it was quite suprising.The stuff on her web site is definitely digitized and awful, but I don't think it was just for her pitch. I think that this is what a low-quality music producer thinks a pop singer must sound and look like. Stupid idiots.
"I heard this girl perform on that amateur talent show, and she did not have or need pitch correction for her songs. She had excellent pitch, it was quite suprising."If that's the case, it may be even sadder. For the same pitch correction that hypes non-talent also masks real talent. But even worse, the singer's drive to refine the talent is diminished.
I had no idea why the TV singers all sound the same, Celine Dion with less volume and occasionally less steel. To me, the girl is just awful and in no way sounds like a girl and with no knowledge, not like a woman either. The butchering of Billie Holiday is perfect, destroy the best and we will all settle for far less. Infinitely, apparently.However, as a sidenote, I am looking for an Antares system currently and planning on making a fool of myself on American Idol as soon as possible. I want my 15 minutes of shame.

It really puts a clear perspective on a major reason why music in recent time has gone in the toilet.....I've noticed this "generic" vocal sound prior to your revelation, but I had no clue why that came to be, until your revelation. The thing about it is that it's not that difficult to recognize. (The most depressing part of that Biancha Ryan clip was everybody falling over themselves in their praise, as if they stumbled across the next Judy Garland or something.)
This type of music has become accepted because there are so few alternatives.
And if you notice, even before you brought forth your revelation, if you check out my links to YouTube, what do you notice about them? Sometimes, the raw emotion of the singer makes up for any technical deficiencies he or she might have.
I have never encountered such magic from a singer enhanced by pitch correction.
The link- I've referenced this performance before. The singer, I think in her late teens or early 20s, struggles to maintain her composure, and a raw, almost "child-like" quality comes out at times, a tonal complexity that really makes this performance special.
And sadly, this raw emotional element is what's being murdered by digital processing. The change in vocal tone, the inflections, the seduction, the essence of performance, is lost. And it cannot be recovered.
The best way to demonstrate the ills of pitch correction is with examples devoid of it. It's so depressing that performances like this have become so scarce.
but calm reflection indicated a lot of correspondence, and thought that it may not be productive, so why bother...I simply suggest that you reconsider whether what you wrote could be misinterpreted, or whether you did indeed mean the comments exactly as stated...
I'll leave it at that...

You have indeed spared me much correspondence...

I bet you there are some audiophiles out there who are into music that uses this type of vocal processing, but they don't realize it. And they've been blowing thousands to get midrange performance that is impossible to attain.

A god given talent for sure. Lets hope she stays away from all the evil temptations the most young talent go through. (Whitney Houston)
And that her voice doesn’t change too much when she gets her pubes!
Impressive presence for her age. Too bad she sang off key so much of the time, a common problem for an immature voice trying to be more.
...as a lot of vocal and musical stuff sounds strange via it.
...my mind is unchanged.As I said, I admire her effort, she just is too young to achieve mature voice control. Sometimes it doesn't matter; look at Grateful Dead.
Stiff, cold, mechanical.If the pitch of her voice was altered, as alleged, it would explain why it looked more like lip-synch than actual performance. Other than the timing looking correct, it never at any time seemed like that voice was coming out of her mouth, and that's distracting to the point of being unenjoyable, even if the vocal performance was genuine, although most seem to agree that it was not.
It takes much more than good singing to make a good live performance. Good performances seem to be a bit of a lost art.
Guess there are more tone deaf people out there who are into the sizzle rather tahn the steak...Just MHO...

You are mistaken. She won the competition handily.....
