How did most artist back in the 2000s and before sing so good?

I mean Mariah Carey especially in her Christmas album WOW!!! Her voice is outstanding! Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, and whoever…. Amazing!!
Jessica Simpson, Boyz To Men! I wish I would have lived in the 90s or before to experience it. I’m jealous of Mariah Carey’s voice. Her voice back then was amazing! I grew up in the 2000s so I guess it’s good.

They had actual talent and no "autotune" microphones. Listen to music from the fifties to the nineties and they're even better.

Freddie Mercury's duet with Montserrat Caballé, "Barcelona", is phenomenal - and his final few recordings with Queen, some made just days before his death, will still be some of the most remarkable vocal performances recorded a hundred years from now.

Dump autotune microphones and focus on sound instead of looks and the music industry will change overnight for the better.

Roy Orbison wouldn't have got a record deal today simply because he didn't look right. Elvis Costello and his heavy glasses, Hank Marvin's guitar abilities would have been passed on for the same reason.

When did music become a "visual" experience more than an audio one?

It's because they all have that gift and the beautiful part is they shared it with us and the vibration of their tone their beat their rhythm they're frequency and it allowed us to grow and feel and believe it's a fabric of life as One

Are you an artist I love art I love creating things making things fixing things and vending things

I kind of look at things like this if you look back through generation generation the closest that we've all been together on one page I believe is in the '80s and 90s seventies eighties and '90s and that's where everything was just I mean everything was good and now everything is kind of sideways going different directions not as one like we're supposed to be so the vibe of our lives our reality is all mixed up all messed up so it's being described right in front of us by art by music by the things going on in the world and we all needed to get it back together as one I don't know if that makes any sense but it kind of does to me

They had great voices. Now they don't look for that. Except for Olivia Rodrigo, amazing.

Artists from the 90s and earlier, like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, were celebrated for their powerful voices and exceptional vocal skills. They often had strong foundations in vocal training and live performances, which honed their abilities. The music industry back then emphasized talent and live singing more. This focus on skill development, coupled with the unique production styles and timeless quality of their music, has left a lasting impact. 🎶 Their music still feels fresh and inspiring today, and their iconic voices continue to captivate new generations. 😊

Practice practice and more practice.

Also no autotune.

They had really good sound engineering and good physicians that took good care of their throats.
