She is a gift to all of us from God.

Incredible. She is unique

[rmcinuk]

I rarely visit the "Paris" videos, knowing she suffered so much at the time spoils the feeling for me somewhat!

How she sang like this with her heart breaking I will never know.

There will only ever be one Sumi Jo, simply the best!!!!!!!

[disquand]

what's the difference between a coloratura voice and a soprano voice... or a mezzo-soprano??? If anyone can help that would be great! ;)

[fellinian]

@disquand

A coloratura singer has a particular agility and rapidity in the voice that allows him to change tone and register and todo very difficult passages. It isa of virtuoso of the song.

Usually it is a soprano singin italian repertory or Mozart's Opera, but can be others kind of singers too.

[3F93]

@disquand There are three generic categories for female voice: soprano (the highest female voice), mezzosoprano (a step deeper than soprano) and contralto (the deepest female voice). Generally sopranos can hit the highest notes and contraltos the deepest, mezzosopranos stay in the middle, but it's not only the range that makes a singer a soprano rather than a mezzo ecc., in fact there are contraltos that hit high notes and soprano that hit low notes: it's also the color of the voice and timbre.

[3F93]

@disquand Coloratura is the name of those difficult and often quick passages that singers do singing series of notes while they stay on a vowel or a syllable (like scales, vocalizes, thrills ecc.) as Sumi Jo does in this video, she's indeed a coloratura soprano. There are also contraltos and mezzosopranos that can do coloratura (especially in baroque music).

[poopsicunt]

nao ha palavras para descrever essa senhora  e uma ARTISTA. Encanta-me ouvi-la.I THINK SHE IS THE BEST

[clerubgirl851114]

good

[TrebleB4Mi]

I like how the last run looked almost like she knew she had to do it to please the audience but didn't really sweat it.

[JuillHope17]

talk about a technician, damn! those runs are fast and hard, and then to be able to pop that d out at the end like it's nothing just shows that sumi jo is one of the major coloraturas of our time. one thing that always annoys me about her though is that her diction is wonderful for the first bit of the song and then it's all vowels with a consonant here and there, lol. she's still quite amazing. LOVE her characterization, and her overall production and musicianship (artistically) here.
