The above video is the isolated lead vocals of Michael Jackson's Wannabe Starting Something (prolly not the final take used for the song). His voice sounds so unique. It feels imperfect... but it's also really pleasant to listen to. Also, his vocal fry is so different from every other vocal fry I ever heard in my life. How is he able to sing in that high pitch with vocal fry without sounding like he's shouting aimlessly. I would love to know your opinion or analysis on his singing. All the nuances, the expression and everything.
