James R. Wigginton VocalEdge

There is was sitting with John Michael Montgomery on his tour bus waiting for show time. Just me and him drinking Jack and talking music. There was a currently VERY famous singing on the stage...hollerin’ belly notes. And HE said,”That’s a real pretty high note. Don’t make me feel anything though.” I half laughed, half choked on my Old Fashion as I told him that I’ve said the same thing my whole career. Sure, the high notes can be MONEY. ....if there’s an emotional motive behind them. Otherwise, it’s just hollerin’. So many young singers look for places in songs to put high notes, whether they are needed or not. Hey… Stop that. Sing for the lyric. And very often, the lyric is begging for you to belt out your best high notes. And if you go for it, they had better be good. Talk to me. What do y’all think? •
