Positives:
A properly trained singer with great technique. Her belts are resonant and supported well, reaching up to G5 in early recordings, and up to F#5 in Do What U Want. She is capable of rapid firing high belts, (see the last chorus of Marry the Night). Her low notes are very dark and full, but can also mimic a talking voice. Her head voice can be thick with an operatic weight, or light and airy. The contrast in colors in her tone is impressive, though her voice sits naturally with a darker tone.
Distinctive, unique vocal phrasing, that allows for her to communicate an array of emotions. Even though she is capable of singing a melisma, she does not over use the technique to show her abilities. Great legato lines and respectable staccato ones as well. Ability to hold pitches for extended periods without wavering. Her voice can transcend through multiple genres, including balladry, dance/pop, country, jazz and rock.
Her vibrato and placement are some of her strongest points. Her vibrato is wide, controlled with an operatic quality and is executed excellently. Her placement for her belts is becoming stronger over time, there is less strain on her D5's, Eb5's and E5's.
Negatives:
Most of Lady Gaga's problems lye in her upper belts. Starting at D5, her belts can sound like shouting when unmixed. Starting at Eb5, the belting voice gets thinner. She rarely uses her head voice live, though this could be an artistic decision. Her pitch tends to waver along off-key when dancing heavily (see live performances of Judas), though this can be expected. Most of her problems have been erased recently thanks to vocal coaching, but these comments were especially true in the early stages of her career.
Her range with exclamations: D3-E7
ARTPOP Vocal Range: F#2-A5
Her pretty shocking F#2 in "Do What U Want"
