She could've easily been up there with the vocal trinity of the world. It would've been very interesting if she was more recognized for the talent and music she put out for the world to listen to. She's so painfully and criminally underrated, it hurts my soul. I've always loved her singing.

Wow I didn’t know she trained as a coloratura. One of the few singers outside of opera to sing in the upper 6th octave in head voice alongside Deniece Williams and Susaye Greene, who have distinctly lighter voices. Even without those highs How Can I Ease the Pain is a vocal masterclass. Incredible, emotive singing throughout.

Now, even through all of the special effects on stage with that industrial rock band, Lisa’s voice sho’nuff stood out and as Trent introduced her… I stood up and applauded. No one there knew who she was, but I was honored!!

Why do you consider Céline a Mezzo-Soprano ? I find it interesting because, most specialists consider Céline a Soprano but Céline herself said " je suis mezzo-soprano " I.e., "I am a mezzo-soprano".
@BlackMusicArchive Жыл бұрын
Hello, the answer to your question can be found in the sections, "The Mezzo Soprano in Pop Music," and "The Soprano Voice" section of the video between 1:08 and 2:00. A soprano voice is most comfortable and has the stamina to sustain lines of E5 F5 G5 A5 (the upper middle) before scaling off into the high range Bb5 and beyond. In your typical Celine Dion arrangement an E5 or F5 is the high note, and she generally hits it once, she doesn't stay there, and this is not taking into account the constant downward transpositions she does (i.e. dropping "All By Myself" down from F to Eb). If Celine is dropping keys to avoid hitting Eb5 E5 or F5, that would indicate those are "high notes" for her and the high notes for a Mezzo-Soprano begin at Eb5 E5 or F5 (it varies by the singer). And most importantly Celine has been trained, can read, write, and arrange and most importantly she is the one singing her music, I believe she knows her voice better than me, a youtube commenter, or a vocal coach doing reaction videos. If you would like to learn more about the soprano voice or the difference between a soprano and a mezzo-soprano, check out, "EXPLAINED: The Soprano Voice." The lecture is taught by world-renowned, grammy award-winning soprano Leona Mitchell. There is an entire section dedicated to Whitney, Mariah, and Celine.
