It’s it just me or there are others.

I was wondering if it is just me that I don’t like the later year works of most singers with amazing voices.

I find that I do not enjoy most of the singing of Aretha, Adele, Sara Vaughan, Whitney Houston…etc. that comes after their initial few album and get them established.

Many female vocalists with great chaps falls prey to their vocal ability and don’t try hard enough? or purchase the rights to good songs.

Feel the same about  great instrumentalists. I think many times when they do their solos they are just self satisfying or just lazy. If it is in the context of the rest of the song, “amazing”, greatly enjoy it but a lots of time they go off in a tangent that has nothing to do with rest of the song.

Just trying to see anybody else feels the same way or should I try to make a greater efforts to appreciate the works of this artists.

i agree with you on your reply - op's assertion is a gross generalization, and as such hardly accurate

as for 'chaps' vs 'chops' i suspect this is a english-is-second-language issue... so be nice ... 🤣😀

I wasn't trying to be funny, I was actually curious because I thought that it was a typo the first time, and then thought that it was a term that was not familiar to me, so I googled it and found nothing, hence the question. I'll be nice...

It’s really weird, these very recent threads regarding, “I don’t like something…does that make me…wrong?”  
Are these actual people or A.I.?  

I guess we can’t really tell anymore.  

It’s scary how increasingly fearful we’re becoming of individuals.  
We’re terrified and insecure if we have an opinion that differs from the masses.  
We seek validation, as though there’s “something wrong with us.”

Individuals have individual ideas.  

Seriously, if someone has shrines to Aretha, Adele, Sara Vaughan & Whitney, or if someone else finds them unlistenable…who cares?

Contrary to what others are saying, I think there is something to what you're saying, but I don't think it is something specific to female singers.

Many artists have their greatest creative periods earlier, rather than later in their careers. Whether this is related to no longer having the time required, a loss of the drive to create or just that life becomes much easier, well you would have to ask them. All I do know is that stress and pain are great sources of inspiration and there is a lot less of both, when fame and fortune are achieved.
