Excellent and she nails Joplins' "raspy" voice also, she was a great talent and very attractive woman as well, from reading about her life she seemed to care for people geniunely, and seemed down to earth.
You guys are overlooking something - Laura Branigan played Janis Joplin in the stage version of the book PEARL. This is probably a promo at a radio station for that show.............unfortunately, the Cincinnati, OH performance was canceled so I never got to see the show but I hear she was amazing - the best anyone has ever done of Janis. Wild.
and i want to ask if there's any vids from "Love, Janis" with Laura, i would be soo thankful and happy if someone could share... btw i'm aware that she only did it live, as a performance only....i would eat myself even for a piece of live video from this 2002 live musical)
i'm sorry, but noone can cover 5-6 or even 4-4/5 octaves, guys...no Morten Harket, no Mariah, no Whitney, no Jennifer Rush etc. Not even great Laura ....
These and many other great singers are said to such range, but its no more than just knowledge absence i guess so.
I'm sure Laura could exactly cover 3 (plus/minus two notes), but no more, believe me the greatest opera singers cant do 4/5 octaves, Laura just knew how to use her great vocal range and thats the best of her

She could do no wrong. Her versatility is mind-blowing, but I guess that's what happens when you are so gifted and always sing from the heart

I believe Laura could sing 5 octaves, although I have also read 4. Anyway, whatever it was, she was AWESOME :)
As is evidenced by this spur of the moment stunning performance :)
Way to go Laura!!!
