Is it how loud the volume is on the vocal? If so, how loud does it have to be? Is it how many lines are sung? If so, how many lines are required? Is it whether or not the vocalist has lines where no one else is singing? How many vocalist are required to constitute a harmony?
I realize that I am being pretty anal about this, so please, no one should feel compelled to respond to these rhetorical questions. I won’t continue to belabor this, but it's way too subjective for me. I truly have a hard time trying to grasp why Glenn’s vocals in LROOE would be considered backing harmony vocals, but his vocal in KOH is a shared lead vocal? Or why there is a co-lead singer on WDIDWMH, but not on LGTIT or WITW? Or why 4 lines of vocals qualify as a co-lead on ATTIG, but 6 lines in LGTIT do not. Oh well, it is what it is. :confused:
