Well, we will have to agree to disagree. I will give you that her voice is crazy mature and superior to all the other girls and men except for possibly Jacob. And that while she is belting, she is belting perfectly.
But I believe she has a serious boredom factor, caused by a lack of range of intensity in her delivery. That aint perfect. If she wants people to stay interested until the end of her ballad, she will need to rise and fall in her intensity, or raise and lower her “belt” factor. I would like to see her “power down” toward the ending of her song more than she does.
I’d like to see her be calm yet heartfelt. I’d like to see her plead, mourn, crow with joy, right into the camera/audience, as part of the meaning of the song. I’d like her to move me emotionally. I have dozed off on occasion or daydreamed during her songs. I am NOT alone.
No, you are not alone. Not by a long shot. Some performers I stop what I am doing, usually posting or typing and I watch their while performance, entranced. Some, I stop watching soon after they start singing, bored and go back to typing. For me, Pia is one of the later. Predictable in that she stands on one spot like an opera singer. She’s been called on it a lot lately so I think this week she will move around the stage.
