Robt Sarazin Blake: Recitative (SameRoom) In a vibrato-shaded baritone that recalls a French chansonnier more than an Americana guitar guy, the first singer-songwriter in history to linger on the word "gerrymander" enlists a limber band colored decisively by horn man Thomas Deakin to array sixteen talky songs lasting a mere hour and a half over two CDs.

Beardyman: The man who can make any noise "Perceptually, Freddie Mercury's irregular (and typically faster) vibrato is clearly audible in the sustained notes of famous songs such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (A Night at the Opera) or 'We Are the Champions' (News of the World), and it appears to be one of the hallmarks of his vocal style," the study says.

After watching the spry 57-year-old frontman dash to and fro all over the stage for two hours straight, launch himself into high kicks, and brandish a massive Union Jack flag—all the while belting out the hits in his robust vibrato—you'd never think that Dickinson had been sick a day in his life, let alone fought—and won—a battle with throat cancer.

As I dusted off my vibrato and sang my heart out with everyone else during "The Trooper" and "Wasted Years," I glanced down at the rows below me, and saw something beautiful: a burly, bald dad bent down teaching his bespectacled son (who was clad in a fresh new Book of Souls shirt and matching hat) how to properly wail away on the air guitar during Adrian Smith's solos.

A pretty boilerplate setup by Gaga's elaborate theme ball standards,his was more about Gaga front and center, singing "Bad Romance" while nailing that famously nasty choreography; it was Gaga belting show-tune style alone at the piano, releasing just enough vibrato to remind us she's not lip syncing; it was Gaga climbing down into the crowd and kissing a bewildered older cowboy type on the cheek (who must've been a plant, but sure).

And though no one would have explicitly admitted it, what it was about—love or something else—was entirely up to Jana: It depended on the way she took a quiet, sharp, and precisely timed breath in an upbeat before the first note, on the pressure of her attack on that first note, on the space she left between the first and second notes, on the degree and length and resonance of the vibrato she applied to the violin neck.
