some stuff as gnere. is soem guy singign but he's a rapper ,or soem stuff sounds differnt (soem japanese guy) but it's credited as "rap"

same as puttign "instruments" as credited .. but that guy

no liners i've seenuses lead

I have seen some

They do exist

and i miss the chorus/choir distinktion

What distinction?

ironically it's the same word in norwegian, "kor"

chorus is chorus, choir is.. a chour

It's either a choir, or background vocals

choir

what?

(chorus and choir are used pretty much as synonyms in English for what I know)

it’s not, reosarevok

choir is a lot of peope lsinging in a choir isn't it? whiel chorus is .. the chourus

kor

choir = multiple people, afaik

this labum has "kor"

chorus is used often as "group of people singing" being the ssame as choir

chorus can be 1 person singing it

in languages withouth this distinktion yea

(or more)

SultS: yea!

"c : an organized company of singers who sing in concert : choir; especially : a body of singers who sing the choral parts of a work (as in opera)"

(from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chorus )

I mean, it is also a part of the song, but that's not a kind of vocals...

i hate putting this "kor" (as in chorus) as choir as in "choir" (also kor in norwegian9

if only 1 person sings only the chorus, I can’t credit it (I’ve wanted to)

you can sing the chorus , but you sing IN a choir

SultS: uh i stil do that :P

:P

it *was* called chorus before

CatCat: wtf?

what?

You use "choir vocals" for one singer singing a chorus?

That's like... ugh

of course

they are singing the chourus, kor and kor is the same in norwegian

nikki, unfortunately it’s not automatically background

CatCat: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/choir

reosarevok: what else am i supposed ot use

Nothing to do with it

SultS: I also tag every single one of them, in the hope that one day I'll be able to fix them :P

huh, vocals?

Dunno

Not choir :p

I use background for only background, so I would get them mixed up :P

sults me too

SultS: I'm pretty sure most of them are background vocals in the chorus section of the song though

but it's not like I can tell :(

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

we need "vocal credits" :/

no it's someone (usually a 3 people) credited as "kor" which has the double meaning of )chorus/choir in Norwegian)

on some track

eg x, y og z kor på 1-3, 5, 8-11

Individual people as choir is a wrong rel 99% of times

probably but it's what i can do

No

You can enter them as vocals, which is true

i wish i could chose "chorus as "kor"" but i cannot

Instead of as a choir which they are not :)

you're the one that said that they meant the same in english!

yeah, I would add them just as vocals, if I haven’t heard the song… + annotation

that's what I was told when i complained about last time

CatCat: no

"chorus" can mean a choir in English

no, becasue they aren1t vocals they are kor

CatCat, choir does vocals, that’s what they do

Choir always means a group of people singing chorally

Like these guys http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7...

then that shouldn't be a "vocal" type but a "group" type :P

(girls, whatever)

reosarevok: i know that!

I do wonder why chorus was combined with choir in the past though…

SultS: see my confusion

well i put the "kor" i nthe comment lien so it can be fixed

semantically it is correct in norwegian,

transalting it atleast

it's not right to chose "vocals"

CatCat: while I'd be happy with it also being a group type, they perform vocals "chorally"

not for translating

How is it not right?

then it's "chorally" a vocal type and we get "chorus" back"

I mean, "spoken" is a type of vocals

And that's much less "vocals" than chorus

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

<reosarevok> "chorus" can mean a choir in English

i got flack for it too

I have never seen choir === chorus

or was that "other"? yea I think it was

SultS, http://www.bbc.co.uk/orchestras/symphonyorchest...

"The BBC Symphony Chorus is one of the finest amateur choruses in the country. It makes more television and radio appearances than any similar choir.

"

I added "other" withouth going trough dstyle and whatont becasue i thoguht it was for bad that it had t ogo throught al lthast jsut to be obvious.. i wont do it again as it was decided that NO

even if i am tempted

reosarevok: SO HOW is adding "kor" AS "choir" wrong THEN?

:////

Because a choir can be written as chorus

choir is kor in .no, chourus is kor in .no

But that's not the only meaning of chorus

disctionaries make a clear difference of the two

dictionaries*

SultS: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chorus

fuck mirriam webster

c : an organized company of singers who sing in concert : choir; especially : a body of singers who sing the choral parts of a work (as in opera)

yeah, I've heard "choir" and "chorus" used interchangably?

it doesn't load poerly for me and it's american and dildos

to refer to "the group of people singing"

derwin: me too

but why can't we have "chorus" in vocal then?

He sings with the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus"

(curious choice of chorus :D )

he's a gay man from LA obvously :P

CatCat: this is a British English dictionary

Which makes that unlikely

reosarevok: it's an example to illustrate the semantics

Sure, it's just a curious choice

it's probably one they could find that didn't say "choir"

(as that's more often9

incidentally we have a "fagot kor" here

fogot beign an instrument here

fagott*

Well, the BBC has one so they didn't have to look to the US for it :)

Anyway, "why we don't have 'chorus' "? no idea

a gay man's chorus?

No, a chorus

(nobody required it to be gay for the dictionary :P=

*)

reosarevok: last time i asked why not have chorus added, I was litterally told that "choir means the same so use that"

hah, i was wonderign it it was a pun

it is..

<3

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

even if they mean the same thing, they (both) also mean a different thing

imo

yea!

why not keep the examples in a dictionary interesting?

so i'd liek ot have tem separate for that

CallerNo6: that's probably what the guy who wrote it thougght

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

(or the LA Gay Men's Chorus)

yeah, but as http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/choir... says single person can be credited like this as well

That's a verb

heh this choirus of gay men do an annular christmas-concert in Lilleborg kirke.

some how I don't see that in certian areas of f.ex america

being gay, or black, is now fine in america
