She's obviously not used to moving around and singing. She sounds like a rookie who is out of breath and shyt, like a rapper basically. Certain singers need to stand still, find zend and sing, not everyone is Beyonce.

Always anticipated that the the deeper part of "all the stars are closer" would not go over well live... but damn didn't think it would be THAT bad. Poor girl had nothing left by that part :pachaha:

It could be that she had issues hearing herself over the music or something technically wrong with her ear piece. I heard her sing Coachella before and do way better then this.

Kehlani>>>>SZA
So why Kehlani is where she is and Sza is where she is?

Khelani is no way better then Sza breh. Stop it! Sza song writing even gives her the edge careerwise.

SZA’s voice isnt traditionally good even on wax, so not surprised it sounds funny live. :yeshrug:


That said, she doesn’t sound too off from her records. she sounds like she had a combination of issues going on. She needs vocal coaching for live performances, she needs to do some cardiovascular conditioning and practice singing while moving (I remember Beyonce saying her dad had them running 3-5 miles a days while singing so they could hold notes thru movement), and lastly she kinda seems shook, Coachella is big as fukk, might be the biggest (and most important) crowd she’s played thus far, nerves may have gotten to her.


Great idea :ehh:, I should try that. I'll just rap though :mjlol:

I can’t understand shyt she’s saying. Does she sing in this weird voice to hide the fact that she doesn’t sound good ?
Said the same thing in another thread. Normally I try to support artist from my hometown but for one I never knew she was from St. Louis and two I can’t understand what she saying. I don’t understand the hype over her.

i sought this tack out b/c that beat is hard. her voice actually does all those weird inflections and breaks on the actual track tho. as others hav said she just sounded kinda winded not bad. everybody aint belting out power ballads.

My favorite song off of Anti and I gotta disagree. Her pitch and tone were totally off and this was the first song of her performance that night, so I’m not sure about being winded. She’s just not a good performer :yeshrug:

Why people wasn't saying this about her on Coachella 2016? It's funny they say it now.
