Reviewing single - Goodness Gracious by Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding(which I would do a vocal profile on later) released her single - Goodness Gracious on her vevo and I am here to evaluate it and give my honest opinion.

When I first looked at the music video, my first thought was: never watch this video at night in a dark room - it'd blind your eyes! The music video was a little too colourful for my liking(even though I adored the music video). When the music kicked in, I could hear Ellie's signature wispy vocals coupled with a few vocal runs like 'calling your name!'. I could instantly tell that this song doesn't showcase her range.

Overall, this song does okay to me as it is quite catchy, sprinkled with some autotune and this song is good enough(to me) to go!

Vocal profile of Demi Lovato

Lowest note: C#3
Highest belt:  F5
Highest note: E6
Exclamation: E7
Vocal range: 3 octaves 1 note 1 semitone
Vocal type: Soprano
Vocal rating: A+

Vocal positives:
Her strongest range is from G#3 to E5, where her most powerful belts are placed and are also the most resonant. Notes like F3 and below are well supported. Her emotions are conveyed well through her vocals as she is able to go gentle for one moment and in the next moment showcase her wild chest register.

Vocal negatives:
Notes below G3 sound nearly inaudible live and notes above E5 sounds like her screaming. Her pitch is either a hit or a miss live and singing an F#5 proves a little difficult for her to execute. Her voice sounds shrill and uncontrolled at notes above G5.

Vocal profile of Selena Gomez

Lowest note: Bb2

Highest belt: D5

Highest note: G#5

Exclamation: B5

Vocal range: 2 octaves 6 notes(recent times)

Vocal type: Mezzo-soprano

Vocal rating: D

Vocal positives:

Her low notes below F3 are dark, low and healthy. There is a solid tone to her mid-range from B3 to about C#5. Her A3s are well sustained throughout most of her songs. Her strongest range is from G#3 to D5. 

Vocal negatives:

Struggles at basic belts like Bb4 when doing little body movement. Notes below G3 are often inaudible live and needed to be supported by backup singers. Her lack of vibrato and proper technique makes notes below E3 or above A5 sound harsh live. She becomes nasal at the notes at the fifth octave.
