Vocal Type: Light lyric soprano
Vocal Range: 3 Octaves C3-C#6
Whistle Register:No
Vocal Pluses: Smoky lower range, which is dark and heavy. Her midrange is lighter, softer and has a warm timbre that carries through the to the top of the range. There is an intrinsic sweetness and youthfulness to the voice that is accentuated by her excellent phrasing. The chest voice is clear and light, effortlessly extending up to an A5 with the help of her excellent technique and clever mixing of the chest and head voice. The head voice is bright and robust, with great dynamics.
Vocal Negatives: The voice's lightness is often interpreted as it lacking power as whole, with the term "weak" sometimes being applied to the voice's tone.
I've always thought that her voice was rather weak, but I also agree with you that it is very sweet - and suited those 60s Supreme classics beautifully.

A classic diva! A voice that I can easily listen to for hours without her upper registers or belts inducing a migraine! Its to be praised! I have been listening to this one a lot recently :)

before saying her voice is weak please listen to "tell me again that you love me" and "one more chance"
