After
a few short weeks of having no laptop (and proper internet connection) to write
on, it definitely feels good to be back. While I was away (off the online world),
tons of new songs and albums came out, and I only got a few of them on hand, like,
Katy Perry’s new single, Unconditionally,
which is really beautiful and Avril Lavigne’s incredible new track, Let Me Go, with Chad Kroeger, and other
new tracks as well.
It
seems like there’s an ongoing battle of
ballads as the year’s about to end. As mentioned, Perry’s Unconditionally comes face-to-face with
Avril Lavigne’s Let Me Go, plus the
ongoing power of Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking
Ball, and Britney’s upcoming ballad, Perfume.
Of course, the veterans in music will never say die as Cher, also releases her
second single which is a ballad. And surprisingly, it is a cover of a Miley
Cyrus song!
Following
the release of Woman’s World, “I
Hope You Find It” is Cher’s
follow-up from her new album “Closer To
The Truth”. It is originally sung by Miley
Cyrus for her 2010 romantic drama film “The
Last Song” with her then-beau Liam Hemsworth. It is indeed unlikely to hear
Cher singing a cover of a young pop-star but will she do justice to the said
track? Let’s check it out:
Miley Cyrus - I Hope You Find It
CHER - I Hope You Find It
VOCAL PROWESS
You
all must be thinking I’m nuts for comparing the vocals of these two
songstresses. I’m gonna say I will push this through and will compare the vocal styling of Cyrus and Cher ON THIS TRACK.
Miley
Cyrus’ vocal ability is indeed good (thanks to Hannah Montana experiences). In this track, she clearly has a
signature gist of a teen-slash-country tone which is far different from Taylor
Swift’s or even Shania Twain’s but still leaving that certain Hannah Montana mark.
Cher’s
iconic vocal pitch is pure EPIC on this track. It’s like there’s
a strong vocal foundation of her voice to this song which makes it work for
her.
DELIVERY
It
may seem unfair to compare this track to Wrecking
Ball, but Cyrus’ delivery on this track sounds like there’s less heart in
it. Both songs (I Hope You Find It
and Wrecking Ball) are all about
heartaches, but I felt a strong connection of Miley and Wrecking Ball rather than with I
Hope You Find It.
If
you get to listen closely to Cher’s You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me
(from Burlesque, another ballad) she sang it in a different mood, giving you a
different vibe of the song which you can really connect to. There were less “Ooh”s
and “Baby” compared to Cyrus, of which I think was really good, for me to
connect well to the track.
CONNECTION
I
felt a strong bond of Cher’s vocals to this track rather than with Miley’s. Listening to it with Miley’s voice sounds like
a regular ballad, a reminiscent of When I Look At You (which she sang
oh-so-beautifully).
However,
with Cher’s, I felt connected to the song even though I am not heartbroken or
having love problems at all. I can feel the pain as what the host implies, and
I can say that it made the song very emotional.
So
who sang “I Hope You Like It” better? My heart says CHER.
What
do you think? Who sang it better?
