It was so beautifully arranged, and the E5 at the end during the run was rewarding as well. I'd have loved to hear Kelly utilize HV because in all honesty, while her Fasetto is beyond beautiful and perhaps one of the best/beautiful sounding falsettos I've ever heard, I love the quality of her HV. Whenever she uses HV, it sounds really nice. Even without it she's nice, so I'm not as bummed out about it.Sasuke Uchihanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-63412900681140962382013-12-13T03:19:32.872+00:002013-12-13T03:19:32.872+00:00For once I totally and wholeheartedly agree with y...For once I totally and wholeheartedly agree with you..her vocals in the christmas show were awesome and Please Come Home For Christmas was particularly beautiful.

She, in my opinion, had a superb delivery of each song. I really love how more & more consistent she's becoming. Hit it or Miss is definitely something she's notorious for, but a quality she's quite easily relinquishing as of late. I'm proud of her. There was specifically one performance she did very well in. It was Please Come Home For Christmas (Bells will be Ringing) where she went from a sustained F#5 to a sustained G#5 (limited strain) to a Bb5 on a trill. <br /><br /><br />The vocals in general were crazy good, I think. You should totally do a review of her NBC Special. And her acting was actually REALLY good. Much better than Carries, which nearly had me in tears of embarrassment and laughter (for the most part) lol They both did well. I'm proud of them both, Kelly especially :)Sasuke Uchihanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-43435391173998814002013-12-06T06:46:48.567+00:002013-12-06T06:46:48.567+00:00I feel like her technique isn't the greatest. ...I feel like her technique isn't the greatest.

I......did you copy and paste that? lol Just asking. I'm GENUINELY curious, because that SAME exact thing in the SAME exact words was said on a video demonstrating her range on the Stronger Tour.<br /><br /><br />I would however agree. Lyric is most arguable. Although, I will say that Kelly has generated a great volume in a dramatic-like passage before in a performance on Ryan (with excellent tonality retention I might add). That was about it, though. The sound output in general isn't equivalent to that of Whitney's, but I'll say that the "small" argument is highly questionable seeing as she generates a decent column of sound for a Lyric Soprano in both the mid & upper.Sasuke Uchihanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-30483836459465559782013-11-09T06:24:23.564+00:002013-11-09T06:24:23.564+00:00Kelly Clarkson has a voice too light to be a spint...Kelly Clarkson has a voice too light to be a spinto soprano. She does not even be a full lyric soprano. A spinto has a darker tone and a trademark: the ability to generate large volumes in dramatic passages effortlessly and without losing tonal quality. If Kelly was really a spinto, her voice should have power like Whitney Houston, who in his early years used to be a spinto. Kelly's voice is not even as big as Lara Fabian, which is a full lyric. She is a light lyric soprano. Her voice becomes hoarse and rough because she forces beyond her range.Alysson Limanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-52536793995863152422013-11-08T14:34:31.943+00:002013-11-08T14:34:31.943+00:00It's hard to tell with her.

I'm not entirely convinced that whistle note is enough to make her a soprano, especially with her comfort in the lower register. She might be an intermediate type--these classifications aren't an exact science, especially in non-classical music.<br /><br />Either way, she has one of the most impressive voices in pop music right now, I think. She wants to do a duet with Amy Lee--I REALLY want it to happen. xDVitriolonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-73315755563837393722013-11-08T05:14:08.135+00:002013-11-08T05:14:08.135+00:005th.5th.Sasuke Uchihanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-81551480301845809062013-10-29T17:10:07.333+00:002013-10-29T17:10:07.333+00:00I just found this video of Kelly covering Demi'...I just found this video of Kelly covering Demi's Skyscraper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in1uHxP7sdY .

The sli...Well, I think she is a spinto soprano too. The slicing tone is well explained and shown why in her American Idol contest appearances she slightly held her mic a bit far so as not to be as "slicing" as it can be to the ears of listeners. I mean, I got your point on why she's considered spinto and not lyric. Her voice has always that weight when belting, unlike Mariah's.<br /><br /><br />I just don't get it why someone would hate (if that's what I really grasped in this thread) your opinion on why she's considered spinto. Also, the Ave Maria is I believe a good performance. Well, of course she's not a classical singer that's why someone hated her performance. Then there is even this: "She just sings as loud as she can in the higher area of her belting range". So demeaning. And I could just imagine how a true singer could sing and not ruin the vocal cords by singing as loud as one can get in the upper register. Man, that would really hurt. And yes, I really smell so much hate with the quoted statement above. <br /><br /><br />Well anyway, if someone insists KC is not spinto but lyric soprano, then fine. But I'll stick with you Stuey; she's a spinto soprano.guesttoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-20235150624480304142013-10-01T17:04:09.763+01:002013-10-01T17:04:09.763+01:00Stuey, what about the video that Sasuke Uchiha add...Stuey, what about the video that Sasuke Uchiha added above (re: the live whistle note KC hit with vibrato.)

Also, play it next to a C7 on a Piano. Here: http://www.virtualpiano.net/<br /><br /><br /><br />The 7th Octave C Natural is the last key to the right. <br /><br /><br />To summarize everything, Kelly definitely hit a C7, and as you can hear, it was sustained w/ vibrato.

While the audio quality isn't the best it's adequate enough to hear the C7 by miles. No, it was not an exclamation either. It was a Sustained C7 with Vibrato.

Someone in earlier comments disagreed, which is questionable. Most of Kelly's belts have a lot of Squillo (her Live belts).

Other songs that will show her keen and proficient use of Melisma is her rendition of Trouble With Love Is on the Ryan Seacrest show. Another is her rendition of O Holy Night. And if you really wish to see an underground performance of her exhibiting great Runs, you must listen to her rendition of Open Arms with Clay Aiken back in late 2003 to early 2004. Her voice is actually quite agile, contrary to what some people believe. Kelly uses Melisma when she feels it attributes the Genre/Song she's singing, which shows incredible sense of Musicality and intelligence. If you want to see a more RECENT performance of her doing crazy runs, Listen to her rendition of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River. She also shows great & intrinsic use of Improv. Her improvs in that song are excellent.Sasuke Uchihanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-57881780807914784412013-08-22T04:22:42.800+01:002013-08-22T04:22:42.800+01:00Nope.
