-
love brandy and toni
-
I Love Anita Baker & Toni Braxton!!! But Lalah Hathaway's Voice Is Beyond Amazing!!!
-
Mariah Carey nor Chaka Khan are altos in any form; they are sopranos with a broad range. There IS a such thing as singers who can COMFORTABLY sing in more than one voice.
-
Mariah Carey is an alto she just has a wide range
-
@georgyyyyanna I know right..theres no way she's a alto
-
I don't think Mariah Carey is a soprano, I am pretty sure she stands between coloratura contralto and a light lyric mezzo-soprano... It's really hard to tell because her voice has changed so much over time ... but it's still very, very beautiful! If you listen to her work now, it sounds a lot like her very early work!
-
@georgyyyyanna I was about to post that. I'm a soprano and Mariah can go a lot higher than me...
-
@JUSTINMILL3R that's true but the dictionary definition of a Contralto is that they can sing the F below Middle C to 2 Fs above Middle C- and they are rare just like you said

Actually, a lot of these singers are Mezzo Soprano's :) Beautiful, rich Mezzo's... Perhaps only Cher, Anita, and toni braxton are true CONTRALTOs in this, because they have that dark color to their timbre. Remember the Contralto is VERY rare, and just because a female singer can sing low does not really mean they are contralto's. Most females can basically sing the same notes, but its where there ease and power is and timbre that mostly determine vocal type :)
