I don’t know that her voice is weak, I just thought the sound production was shockingly bad, which always seems to be the case with any bbc music broadcast.

It’s like they have the levels all wrong, with the vocals drowned out by the instruments. 

Can you tell I’m a sound engineer with all the technical jargon I’m using? ?

I don't know you could hear Mylie's voice belting out. I've found exactly the same issues with her on record. All a bit breathy and weak. I'm usually an exclusively 6 music listener so am always completely out of touch with pop music but actually Mylie has a great voice and from my Glastonbury playlist I quite like some of Anne-Marie and King Princess have become an act I'm really keen to see but just don't get the hype for Billie. She doesn't do anything for me. Glad she does for others and it's nice that someone who looks a bit different has captured the imagination for some younger listeners but I watched it thinking maybe live she'd convince me and she didn't. I was actually wondering if I was watching the wrong thing because so many were talking about how brilliant she was. I thought the crowd are drowning her out and she has the microphone and sound system behind her. 

I went to see Lizzo last night and it was the loudest crowd I've ever heard in that venue but by god you could still hear Lizzo.
