She used her falsetto voice for those cool parts in Sorcerer. I'm pretty sure the same was done for this relatively new vocal. Even with the most sophisticated technology, I think it would be hard to recreate a voice as unique as Stevie's

It's not really that hard to sing in a falsetto. Most male lead singers today seem to rely on it to get to those higher parts... Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Chris Martin of Coldplay come to mind.

And now I can tell with my own ears that it's Stevie doing the high falsetto parts. You go, grrrl!

Too bad the backing track SUCKS!

I have a feeling that it might chart in Europe, but unless it receives a MASSIVE rerub by someone with talent, I don't think it stands a chance in the States.

But you have to remember that the original song Dreams only had a few notes lol...the music in the song well, in general is very repeatitive. I like it a lot ...

Well, of course. But never on this song. She ditched the high notes on the Bella Donna tour and they never came back.

A very big thank you to Bandon, James, Gary and Daniel... you guys all rock!
Thanks for making this available to the rest of us.

I'm in Stevie-Freak heaven right now.... *sighs happily*
Hope she shows off a little bit of this range on her next album, too.

But those key notes make the vocal memorable.

Another example is "Planets of the Universe," which is sung pretty flat throughout until the last chorus when that higher range comes out unexpectedly. "You and I will simply disappear" is what really stands out.

She really only needs to do it a few times in a song to take the quality of the vocal to the next level. I also think in general that Stevie does her best work when some hard-ass, like Iovine, is pushing her to get her best vocal down, or when she feels like she has something to prove, which seems to happen usually only when she's collaborating with someone on some outside project.

Well, depends on your voice. It happens to be the most fragile part of the voice. It is the first thing to go when you sing incorrectly or abuse your vocal chords. I don't know if those two guys are smoking, coking, and drinking they way Stevie did. Her falsetto was throttled by the end of 1980. Which, actually, isn't too bad, considering three tours and vast amounts of abuse. Amazing that it has reappeared.

GO STEVIE!

No, I don't think there's much studio trickery involved there. The tone of the vocals in the high parts sounds very natural, not overly processed. There may have been a little autotuning, but that's really our Stevie up there in that vocal range... WOW! I never would have thought she had it in her. I'm so happy to be proven wrong.

What has gotten into this woman lately? She's on a rampage!

It's still a bit of mystery to me, though, because if you're using your voice right, singing falsetto doesn't necessarily cause damage. One thing I notice about the remix is that she's singing in her "softer" voice, and I think it's easier to transition to a falsetto when you're singing softly. Meanwhile, she sings in more of a "belting" voice on her arena tours, probably because she feels it carries better through those larger spaces. And it's more of a struggle to transition to a falsetto in that mode.
Tha's my theory, anyway.

Can someone please explain to me why, if she can still sing this fabulously, she doesn't on the records and only teases us with a little bit here and there on the likes of Sorcerer and some power vocals on Everybody Finds Out? It boggles my ****ing mind that if she can kick out an amazing vocal like this, why doesn't she do it more often? No one is expecting her to do it live, we all know she'd embarrass herself, but at least do it on your records, dear!

AMEN - I say sing it like you mean it. I often tire of the voice she sometimes uses on her recordings. I think it would not hurt her to kick it up a notch. Then again, she has made millions singing and I am typing on a message board about her singing

Maybe she figures that we'll all bitch if she does the tunes live & doesn't go for the high notes like she did in the studio.

*cough*Sorcerer*cough*

She had no qualms doing it on that track and if she put a bit more effort into tailoring the songs to suit her "stage voice" during the rehearsals (i.e. not dropping the keys to the point where the songs are utterly unrecognizable), I'd be less prone to bitchin'.
