Tightest vocal vibrato?

Feargal is right up there.

That rhythm guitar sounds... amazing. Great vocals, too. I have some catching up to do.

If it sounds like you're singing into a fan, its not musical. Keep it slow enough to sound like its something you're doing with some control.

Yeah, sometimes it's so tight it sounds out of control. I mean, keep it loose and wild am I right? (????)

Trying to harmonize with a warbler is impossible, it sounds bad. Tasteful and subtle vibrato is nicer for group singing. I think some "trained" singers go over the top with it... to me it indicates lack of control hitting a note cleanly IMO

Bruh.

Nothing even approaches this vocal as measured by vibrations per second. It’s so extreme I’ve wondered if they used some effect on his voice but don’t think they had the means to do that in ‘39. Still it seems like a physical impossibility.

That's not even vibrato; that's square wave tremolo. The Fran Drescher Laugh of vocal effects!

My favorite kind of vocal vibrato is the kind that old school evangelist preachers use when they are singing, the type that is so wide that it disguises the fact that they simply cannot sing. If your vibrato goes a full step above and below the target pitch, you're gonna hit it every time!

That is the secret to my Hawaiian lap steel playing!

To me, the people with the best control were the classic singers like Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como. Professional singers - they could hold that vibrato as long as they wanted, and make it go anywhere they wanted. And they made it sound easy. And it’s not.

The Undertones were a superb band, no question. Power pop perfection.

When Tiny Tim appeared on the scene I wondered if he was supposed to be a parody of Joan Baez. That fast vibrato, and he might have actually been trying to resemble her without going drag.

I can't believe it took 4 pages for this to show up! Makes all the others sound like vibrato amateurs.
