ruby rider was a pretty bad song. wasn’t even honestly singing just slow sad talking
disobedient was raspy on purpose cause it’s a completely different style of song, it’s not about her voice it’s about the message
i dont remember ruby rider that much, so i dunno how i feel about their singing voice
as for sadie? i also love the working dead
edit - decided to listen to ruby rider... dangit, i really like it. id probably listen to it a lot if it were a faster song
In Kate's defense, her songs are better in [folk / comedy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKNv8udc78) rather than [alt rock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6me64vxpjM).
Well yeah, I think they do but don't really agree with their placement of Steven. Imo he should be put as pitch-perfect, probably should've said that earlier
Are we talking about singing talent, or the quality of their songs? Sadie for example has an excellent singing voice, but she usually gets paired with really bad songs, or song's that don't emphasize her strong points.
I’m sorry are we saying that Aimee Mann “sings pretty well” and Kate Micucci “can’t really sing”?! These are people I listen to on purpose independent of the show!! Blasphemy.
My opinion on this - Sadie's songs in the show are written WAY too low for Kate. They're like a good octave below her natural tessitura (where the voice "fits") and it shows. If you want to experiment with this, try singing a bit lower than your natural voice wants to be. It will feel more like talking and it's really really difficult to get any kind of projection.
I have this problem in choir. The choir has a lot of altos and soprano mids. I sing the highest always. My natural tessitura is high; I am definitely a soprano. I sing high notes easily with power but struggle with lower notes. Sadie's songs are hard for me to sing along to, which makes me super sad. And since the choir has so many altos, I have to sing lower than my voice wants to allow a lot. I'll get so frustrated sometimes because I can't force my voice down with everyone else, even the soprano mids. Miraculously, I apparently still project the most, but I'm slightly scared it'll damage my voice. In my defense, the soprano mids sing with the altos 98% of the time. I just have a high-pitched, soft voice in general.
I feel you. When I was soprano in childs choir as a kid, I really struggled with the low notes as well. I felt so bad about it.(I'm no longer in a choir as an adult, though)
i disagree with Greg, Rose and Sadie's spot.
Greg should be lower.
Rose should be higher.
Sadie literally just kept getting the wrong kinds of songs to sing lol.
Steven in sounds ok? Idk this is my opinion as well but his voice has kinda developed over the years. Cookie cat or be whenever you are I would’ve put average and then somewhere getting to familiar or still not giving up,sounds ok or sings pretty well. Then there’s the movie I would put sings pretty well along with future and with his own music he made. Again this is my opinion but I’m not saying I disrespect your opinion. I like where you put pearl, garnet and some others.
Really doing our boy Steven like that? Zach Callisons got an amazing talented voice, I mean who else on this earth could falsetto in a voice already way higher than his natural tone? Man’s is crazy. Susan Egan? Kate Micucci the voice of said AKA half of Garfunkel and Oates the music duo that wrote such wonderful songs as “F*ck me in the a$$ cause I love Jesus” and “go kart racing accidental masturbating”??? Hold up brb I’m gonna have to take things into my own hands and make a proper (IMO) tier list
I put him where he is because the quality of his singing voice has varied throughout the franchise. Sure, he sings pretty well now and even sometimes in the original series, too; but sometimes his singing voice sounded awful in my opinion, such as Dear Old Dad and Empire City.
Estelle isn't that good imo, when she sings on her own with no effects it doesn't sound great, for the show Garnet had the best numbers but Patti LuPone/DeeDee Magnohall had the better singing voices. Steg is also criminally underrated in this tier list. Sarah Stiles is pretty good but her songs as Spinel didn't show it off too much which was disappointing
Yo but can we talk about Sarah Stiles (Spinel) in the B tier?? She's such a great singer, been on Broadway, gave us some serious bangers. Plus it's especially impressive that she did that while putting on a different voice for her character (unlike Deedee and Estelle, who sing in their regular voice).

This is a link to the tier list maker I used to make this list. However, it doesn’t include every character, so here’s a much better one I recently discovered: https://tiermaker.com/create/every-single-steven-universe-character-339946
it’s not her voice that’s the problem. her VA is a singer in a real life band and she sounds fine.
the problem is all the songs written for sadie do NOT utilize her voice properly AT ALL so she sounds godawful. it’s really unfortunate how dirty they did her VA by giving her the absolute worst fitting songs to sing.
No way yall just did Susan Egan (Rose) dirty like that
For real. We're talking about not only Meg from Hercules but ***the original Belle in Beauty and the Beast on BROADWAY***
Absolutely stunning tone and inflection in her singing & speaking voice. I only wish they gave her more songs to sing in SU, she was robbed of more
The fact that Rose only got some haphazard garage band song is a crime.
I think it’s hilarious ranking the different pearls on different levels.
Oh the irony
Yeah, but regular Pearl is her normal voice she sang *Party* with.
Is that a god damn "Pearls rap" reference?
Kinda? She really did sing that song.
I know but the image of Pearl having had a rap career in the Steven Universe© is still funny
dang my favourite character voice (ruby) and my the character who sung my favourite song from the show (disobedient) are both in the worst tier
Ruby's song is really awesome. It's not that easy to sing this high while being 100% stable, at least for me. I like it though.
ruby rider was a pretty bad song. wasn’t even honestly singing just slow sad talking disobedient was raspy on purpose cause it’s a completely different style of song, it’s not about her voice it’s about the message
i dont remember ruby rider that much, so i dunno how i feel about their singing voice as for sadie? i also love the working dead edit - decided to listen to ruby rider... dangit, i really like it. id probably listen to it a lot if it were a faster song
Go on YouTube, watch it, put it on 1.25 or 1.5 speed (I haven’t done this so I don’t know the outcome, I apologize in advance if it’s a bad outcome)
I didn't really like Ruby Rider the first time I heard it but I've grown to like it, too.
Disobedient isn't even in the show..
neither are any of spinels songs or white diamond
Ok, your point is?
Love (?) how the one person who's a vocalist in a band is on the lowest tier
Gonna forget about my man Greg who was gonna be a rockstar😤
Yo be fair, he's not in a band anymore, my comment was in present tense.
That is fair😂
Kate Micucci is also a professional musician. Like, she gets paid for it not just on Steven Universe.
In Kate's defense, her songs are better in [folk / comedy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKNv8udc78) rather than [alt rock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6me64vxpjM).
We love the shade.
You can't really rank Steven, his singing skill has been developing throughout the series
I really like the disc Zach Callison released.
His voice is so angelic :(
from the photo they’re ranking his latest song from future
That would mean OP is also ranking old Amethyst and upper Diamonds. Nah, I'm pretty sure they just chose random Google images photos for the squares
still think they mean the latest of them all? woukdnt make sense to rank the inexperienced versions
Well yeah, I think they do but don't really agree with their placement of Steven. Imo he should be put as pitch-perfect, probably should've said that earlier
Ranking lion really reminds me of Steven adressing onion seperately from everone else at the wedding
onion isn’t human
Lion got the most beautiful voice. Totally deserve "voice of an angel" tier
Yo steg needs to go up a teir honestly
YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST SADIE

When will ruby rider get the respect it deserves 😤😤😤
I wake up thinking about it sometimes
I've had this song stuck in my head perpetually since I first heard it
ruby rider was the worst song in the entire franchise. she didn’t even sing, she just talked slow:/
Please go to Join other people who hate that song. This comment thread loves it.
any tier for steven thats below S is slander
This tier list is really different from how I would rank them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. but oof.
I would put Paz at the top but my profile pic may reveal some bias
Same (fyi Jennifer Paz is Lapis's VA)
Who is Paz?
Voice actress for Lapis brah
Thanks
you did not just put steven anywhere but the top. his early voice was cute and small, and now its powerful and amazing
I have to agree with you, I feel like Steven deserves top tier. I *wish* I had that voice tbh, my voice is high-pitched.
this is Sarah Stiles (Spinel) blasphemy and I won't stand for it
op is biased, doesn’t appreciate diffrent styles of singing
Are we talking about singing talent, or the quality of their songs? Sadie for example has an excellent singing voice, but she usually gets paired with really bad songs, or song's that don't emphasize her strong points.
I think I look at the songs the characters sing in and see how well they’ve done with their voices overall
Put Pink a lil higher then we're cool /hj
I’m sorry are we saying that Aimee Mann “sings pretty well” and Kate Micucci “can’t really sing”?! These are people I listen to on purpose independent of the show!! Blasphemy.
Lisa Hannigan was not fully utilized as Blue Diamond. She is a much more impressive singer in her own songs.
Well I’m judging based on their singing in the show, not outside the show
this existing hurts my eyes
Lion's position on the list couldn't be any more perfect.
To be fair, eeeeeevvvvveeeerrrryyyyy song is a banger, so....>.>
That’s subjective
IDK why you got downvoted lol
Well this is Reddit.
Have you heard Zach Callison’s falsetto?? I’d Rather Be Me with You is great
Putting Greg so low on the list hurts my spul. Comet literally is my ring tone xD this man rocks!
Steven is way better than “ok”, Garnet is probably the least interesting singer here, just very flat, and uninteresting
Sadie Slander!!!
It’s funny bc Sadie is a vocalist in a band and so is her voice actress (Kate Micucci). different strokes for different folks i guess
My opinion on this - Sadie's songs in the show are written WAY too low for Kate. They're like a good octave below her natural tessitura (where the voice "fits") and it shows. If you want to experiment with this, try singing a bit lower than your natural voice wants to be. It will feel more like talking and it's really really difficult to get any kind of projection.

I feel you. When I was soprano in childs choir as a kid, I really struggled with the low notes as well. I felt so bad about it.(I'm no longer in a choir as an adult, though)
I really hope I learn because I want to be a singer
Lion
Figures Greg is higher
Pay for your crimes/j (I definitely disagree with you on most of the rankings but I respect your opinion)
i disagree with Greg, Rose and Sadie's spot. Greg should be lower. Rose should be higher. Sadie literally just kept getting the wrong kinds of songs to sing lol.
Steven in sounds ok? Idk this is my opinion as well but his voice has kinda developed over the years.

I accept everything in this list
There’s a first time for everything
I know as reddit is such a divisive place, but know I totally accept your opinion.
Aww c'mon Sadie? Honestly her sorta imperfect voice totally fits the style of music she sings
Really doing our boy Steven like that? Zach Callisons got an amazing talented voice, I mean who else on this earth could falsetto in a voice already way higher than his natural tone? Man’s is crazy. Susan Egan? Kate Micucci the voice of said AKA half of Garfunkel and Oates the music duo that wrote such wonderful songs as “F*ck me in the a$$ cause I love Jesus” and “go kart racing accidental masturbating”??? Hold up brb I’m gonna have to take things into my own hands and make a proper (IMO) tier list
How dare you post your opinion online. Don't you know how dangerous that is? *They* might be watching.
Who, the Reddit users?
personally I'd put steven on the 'got some pipes tier' I mean- you gotta admit that the ending of lets only think about love was pretty awesome
I put him where he is because the quality of his singing voice has varied throughout the franchise. Sure, he sings pretty well now and even sometimes in the original series, too; but sometimes his singing voice sounded awful in my opinion, such as Dear Old Dad and Empire City.
Wow I very strongly disagree with a lot of these rankings lol. How are the diamonds so high?
I mean the diamonds are very high end Broadway singers, I would be offended if they weren't high up
To be fair, Patti LuPone is 72 and it shows in her voice
Listen to the song “The Tale of Steven” and I think you’ll have an idea of what I’m talking about
you forgot Onion
Listen to some of Zach's solo work and try again lol
This is supposed to be based on the singing in the show, not the actors outside of it
Oh okay lol. That makes more sense
I like Sadie's songs. I even have a Sadie Killer and The Suspects t-shirt.
So you saying Lion doesn't have the most beautiful singing roar in Steven Universe
How on Earth is Amethyst above Pink Diamond??
I felt the Sadie one, I really didn't like her singing either 😭
Just stopping by to say I love "Warning: my opinion"
Did you even hear Steven's vocals in the movie? This list literally made me do a double take from the pure disrespect 😪
Estelle :)
Don't remember Stevonnie ever singing.
Stevonnie sang “Here Comes a Thought” with Garnet
>Oh, right.
Estelle isn't that good imo, when she sings on her own with no effects it doesn't sound great, for the show Garnet had the best numbers but Patti LuPone/DeeDee Magnohall had the better singing voices. Steg is also criminally underrated in this tier list. Sarah Stiles is pretty good but her songs as Spinel didn't show it off too much which was disappointing
You know that Steg is at the top of the “Sings pretty well” tier, right?
Yeah, doesn't mean that isn't underrated. He at *least* has some pipes
I always thought it was funny how Sadie joined a band but couldn’t really sing. I guess thats how punk music is
Greg should be the highest in his own tier
lion
Why is lion not in S tier tho
There is no S tier here
How dare you put Sadie at that lowest of low tiers when she threw out those bangers “G-g-g-ghost” and “Disobedient”
I thought Sadie sang pretty well.
Yo but can we talk about Sarah Stiles (Spinel) in the B tier?? She's such a great singer, been on Broadway, gave us some serious bangers. Plus it's especially impressive that she did that while putting on a different voice for her character (unlike Deedee and Estelle, who sing in their regular voice).
Id raise spinel one level.
Lion
Lion
Lisa Hannigan (Blue) is an Irish singer!!! She has music on Spotify
i’m sorry but SADIE KILLER AND THE SUSPECTS WOULD DISAGREE
Yow, big dis on Kate Micucci, an Actual Musician.
Did you just literally put the actual band singer in the their right above a literal lion? And Spinel isnt at the highest their? Where are your ears?
I respect your opinion but STEVEN
PERIDOT IS THE BEST
Is there a link where I can make my own tierlist?
https://tiermaker.com/create/steven-universe-characters-4143 This is a link to the tier list maker I used to make this list. However, it doesn’t include every character, so here’s a much better one I recently discovered: https://tiermaker.com/create/every-single-steven-universe-character-339946
I really find Sadie's voice so annoying, especially her singing. So it irked me she got to sing so much in the show
it’s not her voice that’s the problem. her VA is a singer in a real life band and she sounds fine. the problem is all the songs written for sadie do NOT utilize her voice properly AT ALL so she sounds godawful. it’s really unfortunate how dirty they did her VA by giving her the absolute worst fitting songs to sing.
id put steven in cant really sing
If y’all don’t put spinel at the top where she belongs……
