I know exactly what you mean. I'm a soprano,(though I was in orchestra) and so was one of my roomies on our music trip this year. She complained about the high Cs a bit. Playing notes, whether singing or on an instrument, in extremes is difficult and takes a lot of effort to create a decent tone. _________________

To all of the people complaing about Sherri straining her voice: It might not have anything to do with her knowledge of "how to sing." It's most likely is that she sings with passion. Singing Opera, and singing in a rock band are two different things. She sings like an angel, they all do. |

please don't get all smart, ok? it's not like we are saying we don't like sherri's voice. I just wonder sometimes how long it'll be as wonderful as it is if she keeps singing the way she does. |

I didn't think anyone was getting "all smart". It's just someone with a different opinion. Additionally, I am not trying to be smart by pointing that out, I swear. _________________ "The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."(J.Joyce) |

sorry, i'm just saying. the way it was typed with the "quotes", etc. made it seem a little sarcastic. With the internet, it's hard to tell  plus, my friend called and woke me up at 2:15 AM, which is when i replied to that.

I'm not complaining about Sherri's voice. Under the right conditions I think it's just gorgeous. But as tripandfall said, it may not be gorgeous for long if she keeps singing like that. What people seem to be interpreting as complaints are in many cases really concern. Improper technique can lead to vocal cord nodules and other serious problems later in life; women's voices hit their prime in their late thirties and early forties, so Sherri has a long time to pace herself. Touring musicians need to take obsessively great care of themselves on the road. I'm thinking of people like Brandi Carlile who, though she sounds very different from Sherri, most definitely sings with passion and is almost constantly on the road. She takes measures to stay in top form and when I saw her in April she sounded fantastic, even after going for two hours in a stifling hot room. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I certainly never thought it was complaining, but I think we're kind of jumping the gun. True, if she is straining her voice, it would be important for her to learn ways to preserve it (as it does seem to have a fragile quality). But we're saying all of this without knowing at all what she actually does for her vocal routine. And I keep thinking that Kim, a great singer for many years, might have figured this out, too. But hey, I guess one of the things message boards are for is speculation, and if this one pans out, maybe it'll help her. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Really? I do agree on Sherri's part but I have a weird thing about Stacy's live vocals. Like her high notes are kinda weird to me? Like too airy if that makes sense? Say if she's hitting high notes on an older song.. it just doesn't work for me, but I don't think it's as if it's hard for Sherri to get the high notes out, I just think her performances are emotional whereas for Stacy, I think she struggles more for the high notes but she's totally comfortable in the lower range, a range where Sherri really can't reach. So really, I both think they have weak and strong points during performances. |

They both have a great voices, but they cover different ranges and they can team up to form one really amazing voice. I can't wait for them to get Chauntelle really worked into that. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

So...not to sidestep all the great talk about sopranos and altos and whatnot, but I lovvvve the feel to "Come Clean" so, so much. When the chorus hits, it's so beautiful. I keep watching that first webisode just to listen to it. _________________ Hi. I'm Eric.

I think Sherri's voice is naturally waaay higher than Stacy's, which would make it appear that she's straining... but I think she was probably just born that way. And it's gorgeous, because without that there would be no Eisley. The difference in their voices makes it what it is. _________________ the thrill of Hope... the weary world rejoices. |

ha I think it's pretty rediculous for us forum members to be picking at their vocal skills as if we are experts, or that they would even care |

no one ever said they would care. and as it's been said before, no one is complaining about sherri's voice at all. I personally love it and agree that there would be no eisley without it. I only brought up the subject of sherri's live vocals as an observation, not something to debate over. so as far as im concerned, it's not ridiculous and everything's all good
