Band Hero Vocal Charts

Vocal tiering is incredibly subjective, always has been. It's definitely the hardest instrument to rank(same goes for Rock Band too), so what might be an easy song for someone may be very hard for someone else. Sometimes there just isn't an obvious "hardest song" in a game, so what may be the hardest for me may not be the hardest for you, and vice-versa.

I think the general consensus though is that Under Pressure IS way too high-tiered. I think it got that rating mainly because it's Freddy Mercury and Queen, and we all know how insane of a singer he is. It also might be easier for some of us since it's one of Queen's greatest hits....almost everyone knows the song, so it might not be as hard. Like for me, I love the song and knew it like the back of my hand, so it didn't take me very long to FC. Someone else that might not know the song would have a very rough time. I do agree that there's harder songs, though.

I have yet to get Band Hero, although I do intend on it(just too many songs in that game I want to sing badly). Don't know about Turn on the Lights(never heard it), but ABC is a young Michael Jackson, so of course that's hard, and American Pie definitely is as well.

Thought I'd give my own impressions about Turn Off the Light. Pretty much the only song I was able to play aside from working on what you see on my GIF.

BRUTAL, yet I managed a sightread pass. Getting a

will be hard for me on this monstruosity. The highway goes really fast, like on Fame or What I Got. Visually, the chart has things I've never seen myself, Superstition would barely get close to it. But all in all, seems an easier song to learn than Superstition.

Edit: Without mentioning that it's another reason why I don't want an engine which forces people to articulate lyrics.

I only played a handful of songs on Band Hero, but I don't think I can give an accurate assessment yet because I had some trouble calibrating it to feel exactly like GH5 did (even when I matched the calibration numbers to those in GH5, it still felt off).

That said, this game does seem tricky. I had immense trouble with American Pie, and I expected that to be fairly straightforward. And of course, ABC is anything but simple as Do Re Mi. Judging from the scores posted on ScoreHero, the community still has a lot of work to do.

I want to see a full community FC by the time I come back!

I found American Pie pretty easy?
Granted I only sing on medium, but usually I suck, but I almost FC'd it my first try on vocals. I'd try on expert but I'm a pretty terrible vocalist as it is.
