Now that gospel and r'n'b are more popular, it has opened that sound up to everyone. I remember in the 90s that most people who heard Vonda Shepherd and Anastacia thought they were black before they clapped eyes on them.Shopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076769822287797475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-69473097264217826232011-08-24T14:53:27.695+01:002011-08-24T14:53:27.695+01:00@shopoholic you are one lucky lady having seen Pat...@shopoholic you are one lucky lady having seen Patti Live!! I'm surprise you can still hear after that experience! lol<br /><br />@anon above, I'm not quite sure what you mean, about the "colour" and "alto" thing. Leona Lewis isn't an alto, Jennifer Hudson isn't an alto, Beyonce isn't an alto. As for colour and vocal richness, i disagree with you. You only have to contrast the likes of white singers like Annie lennox or Alison Moyet to black singers such as Ciara and Janet jackson, to disprove that. <br /><br />As for Mariah being "classically trained", I don't believe that for a minute. Her mum is an opera singer, I get that, and I'm sure that her mother gave her vocal lessons, but to say she's "classically trained" is patently untrue. A "Classically trained" singer whould be able to read music, something Mariah has said on numerous occasions she can't do. She is simply a gifted singer who has honed her naturally substantial voice with vocal training.<br /><br />As for whitney, there will be a vocal profile after the drugs use at some point.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment.divadevoteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771860018742173016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-67761457437597760262011-08-24T09:56:14.955+01:002011-08-24T09:56:14.955+01:00First of all you wouldn't know a voice part if...First of all you wouldn't know a voice part if it jumped out to bite you! You have all of the women of color with the exception of Ms. Patti with a voice part of Alto. If you knew anything about music, you would know that structurally the reason black choirs sound fuller and richer than white choirs is because of skeletal structure. The richness of hitting a note is going to sound different with Whitney, Aretha, or Mariah hitting the note versus one of these young "not of color" girls. I'm sorry, but you need to get your facts straight. Mariah Carey is classically trained--her mom was an opera singer---you can't hit her notes as an "alto". Also, I don't think your evaluation of Whitney was fair. You must be referring to her voice post drug-abuse, because I think you should consider her entire career.<br /><br />Anyway---just some food for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-69079188979078940642011-08-22T05:17:34.570+01:002011-08-22T05:17:34.570+01:00LOL - never heard the Patti Labelle version before...LOL - never heard the Patti Labelle version before, I like the fact that it's completely nuts!!!

And, yes, she's kind of robotic. Adding fuel to her showboating (I have to ask my folks why we like to consider "belting" the most welcome form of singing here-it must have something to do with phatic momentum and audience approval), she just gives me a shudder on this rendition. But setting all these grievances aside, Kyla did debut with what is her only R&B masterpiece to date: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LyGd9Haj1w -AdamantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-92213634693695543732011-08-16T23:43:28.601+01:002011-08-16T23:43:28.601+01:00Eva Cassidy, not to much. like some other.. yet sw...Eva Cassidy, not to much. like some other.. yet sweet and soulfull, good balance between vocalregistrersbirger_92_https://www.blogger.com/profile/02222665590105022736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-45163865009823947582011-08-16T17:10:45.748+01:002011-08-16T17:10:45.748+01:00ChariceCharicejerry ojerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406995537306656188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-21064875439452215192011-08-16T16:29:22.410+01:002011-08-16T16:29:22.410+01:00She's not too bad.

The real problem I have with this version though, is the lack of emotion. This is a copy and paste rendition without any attempt by the singer to add her own personality or flair to it. I'd be interested to hear some of her own material! <br /><br />Thanks for brining this video to my attention though!divadevoteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771860018742173016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-61134711535071278672011-08-16T13:50:26.163+01:002011-08-16T13:50:26.163+01:00You have to watch this Filipina songstress try the...You have to watch this Filipina songstress try the LaBelle version:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYqK3PnsTsM<br />There are some flat notes on the belting part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
