Jessye's the type of musician that knows that high notes don't always have to be loud to be sung. She can actually CONTROL her voice.

Actually...she's not flat. Maybe the note is a little weak and thin if u compare with the rest of the voice, but its not flat

[musoph21]

she's ALWAYS flat on the high B

@musoph21 I heard her come in under the pitch once in Avery Fisher Hall, but your comment is something only a frustrated wanna-be would say. She's not flat here and if you think she is you have hearing deficiencies. Why not post your recent concert footage where you perform the work?, you loser.

@GS07623 thank you for your compliments. So very mature. Why are people so incapable of having an intelligent conversation without name-calling. Anyway, in my mind that note is supposed to have a "more higher placed" sound. I think Jessye's problem is that her voice,while beautiful, is so swallowed that it causes her to be flat and out of tune...which she was on the last note. Tell you what..Check out other versions of the song, listen carefully, and you will hear a BIG difference.

@GS07623 I agree with you sometimes Jessye is flat as all singers are from time to time. But here she is not flat at all... and the note was placed well! Brava Jessye!
