RB3 Vocal Expert FC Breakdown

[Aleril]

I want to construct a list of the RB3 songs in order of difficulty, but I know that it's very relative due to different singing styles. So I want to get together a general consensus of the hardest and the easiest songs throughout this thread, and more in from there. Hopefully we can get a pretty solid list together, even if there is a whole lot of switching around. I added what I think we can agree are the hardest 2 songs in the game, but some might disagree.

1. Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
2. The Beautiful People
3. Imagine
4. I Wanna Be Sedated

I don't see what the point of this thread is, to be quite honest. Tiering songs relative to each other is pointless navel-gazing. Depending on singing range and skill strengths, some songs will be easier than others for people.

As such, you'll never get a consensus on most of the middle/late tiers. Everyone more or less agrees that Bohemian Rhapsody and Good Vibrations are tricky.

Personally I'd add In the Meantime somewhere near the bottom of the list as well, but for the vast majority of the songs on the disc? Most of them are no great shakes for any halfway competent singer to FC, and I don't see any reason to waste time and energy arguing whether I Love Rock and Roll is easier than Crazy Train.

Definitely agree on the last 2. As for easiest, of what ive played id have to say Jerry was a race car driver. Its mostly all talkies, so unless theres an all talkie song that should be the easiest or close to it.

I FC'd Good Vibrations tonight after spending 5 minutes in Practice mode with the last third of the song. I don't think the actual parts are that tough, it's just initially confusing how it keeps jumping from one part to another or trying to guess which harmony you need to sing.

We could probably spend a lot of time debating what songs are tougher than others, but we now have an extra piece of data: the leaderboards show how many people have gotten 100% on a song. Obviously, the boards are still glitchy, but here's what they say right now:

I Got You (I Feel Good) - 11 FCs
Bohemian Rhapsody - 13 FCs
Good Vibrations - 19 FCs
Crosstown Traffic - 24 FCs
Llama - it seems the entire leaderboard has FCd it, despite being listed as "Impossible" on vox.

Llama and One Armed Scissor is way overtiered. Here is my top five

79: IGYIFG
80: Misery Buisiness
81:Roundabout
82: BR
83: Good Vibrations
All IMO, of course.

i think bohemian rhapsody is harder than good vibrations, and is, in fact, the hardest non-broken on-disk FC in the rock band series so far (not that thats saying a whole lot, i know) rock band 1 had a much harder engine sure, but i think its alot more technically demanding than gimme shelter, which was a bitch to learn sure, but not too bad after that, was. of course this is all strictly imo, and perhaps gimme shelter was harder than i remember, but at the moment thats my opinion.

I know some people say BR is harder than GV. But to be honest, here's the way I see it: GV is harder to learn how to FC, since a lot of pitches are buried under loud harmonies; BR, on the other hand, is harder to consistently FC, since some phrases in the Bridge require pitch perfect precision, whereas GV can be FCed pretty easily after your first time FCing it.

Llama does not belong anywhere higher than 20 on the list. Personally I always thought GV was easier than BR but after playing the ESL on vocals today GV was the only song I didn't 5 star so that should be the hardest FC in the game.

IMO the hardest ones are

Roundabout
I Got You (I Feel Good)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Good Vibrations

Though to be honest these are the only ones that I have a lot more room for improvement personally I think these are the only songs that could present any roadblocks to a FGFC but again this is just me.

[ProffessorJoe]

GV is nowhere near as hard to FC as BR. Not even close. Just my two cents

[Steadysphere]

Llama is definitely nowhere near devil. There's barely any actual vocals in the song, aside from a few phrases before the keys solo and some after the guitar solo.

Put it this way, I'm a mediocre vocalist and I was able to FC it, so I'm sure any better vocalist can FC it without breaking a sweat. It is kinda fast, though, so maybe put it in the late twenties, early thirties.

its my opinion that llama falls under the same catagory as painkiller in RB2, where vox didnt deserve to be final tier, but i think HMX just wanted a song that was final tier on everything in the game, and ammended the tiering system for this purpose. of course, thats just my opinion
