        chorus is used often as "group of people singing" being the ssame as choir
      • 2012-04-05 09613, 2012

      • SultS
        chorus can be 1 person singing it
      • 2012-04-05 09623, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, it is also a part of the song, but that's not a kind of vocals...
      • 2012-04-05 09617, 2012

      • CatCat
        i hate putting this "kor" (as in chorus) as choir as in "choir" (also kor in norwegian9
      • 2012-04-05 09648, 2012

      • SultS
        if only 1 person sings only the chorus, I can’t credit it (I’ve wanted to)
      • 2012-04-05 09650, 2012

      • CatCat
        you can sing the chorus , but you sing IN a choir
      • 2012-04-05 09601, 2012

      • 2012-04-05 09626, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You use "choir vocals" for one singer singing a chorus?
      • 2012-04-05 09633, 2012

      • nikki uses background vocals for all her chorus credits
      • 2012-04-05 09634, 2012

      • reosarevok
        That's like... ugh
      • 2012-04-05 09638, 2012

      • CatCat
        of course
      • 2012-04-05 09649, 2012

      • CatCat
        they are singing the chourus, kor and kor is the same in norwegian
      • 2012-04-05 09651, 2012

      • SultS
        nikki, unfortunately it’s not automatically background

      • 2012-04-05 09606, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Nothing to do with it

      • 2012-04-05 09641, 2012

      • SultS
        I use background for only background, so I would get them mixed up :P
      • 2012-04-05 09652, 2012

      • CatCat
        sults me too
      • 2012-04-05 09603, 2012

      • nikki
        SultS: I'm pretty sure most of them are background vocals in the chorus section of the song though
      • 2012-04-05 09612, 2012

      • nikki
        but it's not like I can tell :(
      • 2012-04-05 09623, 2012

      • reosarevok
        If the "chorus" credit is "person who sings the chorus, as opposed as the verses", then it's vocals + annotation if you want to store that info
      • 2012-04-05 09629, 2012

      • CatCat
        we need "vocal credits" :/
      • 2012-04-05 09622, 2012

      • CatCat
        no it's someone (usually a 3 people) credited as "kor" which has the double meaning of )chorus/choir in Norwegian)
      • 2012-04-05 09634, 2012

      • CatCat
        on some track
      • 2012-04-05 09657, 2012

      • 2012-04-05 09625, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Individual people as choir is a wrong rel 99% of times
      • 2012-04-05 09635, 2012

      • CatCat
        probably but it's what i can do
      • 2012-04-05 09638, 2012

      • reosarevok
        No
      • 2012-04-05 09648, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You can enter them as vocals, which is true
      • 2012-04-05 09654, 2012

      • CatCat
        i wish i could chose "chorus as "kor"" but i cannot
      • 2012-04-05 09654, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Instead of as a choir which they are not :)
      • 2012-04-05 09614, 2012

      • CatCat
        you're the one that said that they meant the same in english!
      • 2012-04-05 09620, 2012

      • SultS
        yeah, I would add them just as vocals, if I haven’t heard the song… + annotation
      • 2012-04-05 09623, 2012

      • CatCat
        that's what I was told when i complained about last time
      • 2012-04-05 09628, 2012

      • reosarevok
        CatCat: no
      • 2012-04-05 09633, 2012

      • reosarevok
        "chorus" can mean a choir in English
      • 2012-04-05 09634, 2012

      • CatCat
        no, becasue they aren1t vocals they are kor
      • 2012-04-05 09656, 2012

      • SultS
        CatCat, choir does vocals, that’s what they do
      • 2012-04-05 09658, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Choir always means a group of people singing chorally
      • 2012-04-05 09624, 2012

      • reosarevok
      • 2012-04-05 09630, 2012

      • CatCat
        then that shouldn't be a "vocal" type but a "group" type :P
      • 2012-04-05 09631, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (girls, whatever)
      • 2012-04-05 09637, 2012

      • CatCat
        reosarevok: i know that!
      • 2012-04-05 09646, 2012

      • SultS
        I do wonder why chorus was combined with choir in the past though…
      • 2012-04-05 09653, 2012

      • CatCat
        SultS: see my confusion
      • 2012-04-05 09611, 2012

      • CatCat
        well i put the "kor" i nthe comment lien so it can be fixed
      • 2012-04-05 09632, 2012

      • CatCat
        semantically it is correct in norwegian,
      • 2012-04-05 09640, 2012

      • CatCat
        transalting it atleast
      • 2012-04-05 09647, 2012

      • CatCat
        it's not right to chose "vocals"
      • 2012-04-05 09650, 2012

      • reosarevok
        CatCat: while I'd be happy with it also being a group type, they perform vocals "chorally"
      • 2012-04-05 09652, 2012

      • CatCat
        not for translating
      • 2012-04-05 09618, 2012

      • reosarevok
        How is it not right?
      • 2012-04-05 09623, 2012

      • CatCat
        then it's "chorally" a vocal type and we get "chorus" back"
      • 2012-04-05 09624, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, "spoken" is a type of vocals
      • 2012-04-05 09635, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And that's much less "vocals" than chorus
      • 2012-04-05 09638, 2012

      • CatCat
        only becasue i was insane oen tiem and added it even thoguh i shoudln't have

        well, if you take that choir = chorus, then CatCat is correct in adding these ARs http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/choir%5…

        SultS: what I mean is that even if the BBC Chorus is called a chorus, what they are and do is the equivalent of our choir, so they should be credited as such
