Just attended my second Sara Bareilles concert. The last one was a little more than 3 years ago.
In my opinion, Sara Bareilles is under-rated. That's because she doesn't have style that most singers have, like the vibrato. Her sound is clean and sharp, and may sound "simplistic" for most people to enjoy. But in fact, you realise that it's damn hard to sound exactly like her (you can try it and record now if you wish). Her vocal techniques - including the usage of mix and chest voice to evoke certain emotions is certainly impressive. Well yeah I would categorise her as pull-chest, but that style really works for her. Recording studios often make good singers sound mediocre while bad singers sound better (think autotune). Live is always the best representation. I had a taste of her soulful singing, and what stands out was her sharing about the song's history (She wrote all of her songs how awesome can it get...) through today's concert. Even something mainstream like "Brave" sounded so inspiring. I hope she continues to produce such good music!
P.S. my favourite songs from the set are Manhattan, Come Round Soon, Chandelier (WOW), Chasing the Sun, Gravity.
