ALTOS UNITE??

[8bashful]

Don't underestimate the altos' worth and ability, I'm a soprano and I actually can't sing alto stuff, it's just too low for me. Singing low is also a talent...plus altos provide the harmony, which is important

[Serenatennis]

Only altos truly understand this...



[SafireMancer]

i've listened to a couple of these on youtube . . .This is my favorite. I like Natalie's choices better than the rest. it was more honest less performed.

@bananzie94 Yep, I hate that.

[bananzie94]

a sentiment shared by altos everywhere. we are indeed the most underrated section of the choir

[forevermadalyn]

i've been an alto for years but just this year got switched to soprano 2 by my new choir teacher. it's actually quite a change but i caught on quickly. and to the people wondering why she's singing so high when it's a song about being an alto: if you listen to the lyrics, she's singing about how she wishes she could sing the melody for once, which is usually higher. so she's kind of showing what she can do, basically.  personally, i LOVE singing harmony. i feel more important that way.

[NewArtsParadigm]

Ha ha! Especially funny if you've sung all those parts!!

[mabyer2]

I'll sing it, I'm and I have a high C. But it's easier when you're classically trained it's easier.

[YumTumTugger808]

Can we see an ALTO singing about being an, oh, I dunno, AN ALTO?

[1039smoothslappyhrs]

@Singer4Jesus It's about a soprano getting stuck in the alto's section!

[1039smoothslappyhrs]

@mallk10 Soprano. Sorry.
