She goes to the church like 5 min. away from me....greatly anointed singer...yes...she does classifiy herself as an classically trained alto...and in classical music altos don't really exist.... it's either soprano, mezzo-soprano, or contralto....She's probably a lyric mezzo soprano....but either way she's singing the praises of the most high which is most important.

she probably liked singing alto in church choir backin the day and nowadays since she'z teaching she love to sing it (BUT) Ms. Campbell aint no Alto!!!or Mezzo soprano!!!!She'z a SUPRANAH as my great great aunt pearl would say!!!!!!!!!!lol!!!!!

[nikkotoogood]

acctually she would be cultura soprano but because of that strong alto and how she sings her notes it would be considered Dramatic coloratura soprano

@nipace So True She will Be A Very Bad Soprano Have The Audience wanting more and More But God Got her where he wants her in The Church House Amen!

Singers of Lucrecia's caliber, cannot be put into any range cause she's got them all covered, I think. She's all of the above and even more. It's sort of like Aretha Franklin. They are just gifted who are rangeless from the bottom to the top.

@aaroplainsimple15 i wasn't bothered! just didn't know what you meant when you put the quotations around what i said. it's no shade darling. i have always liked here...she too has had her days, but we are all human!!! they are both fabulous...i just can't take karen's screaming and carrying on sometimes!!! but karen is why i like gospel music today. i saw the clark sisters in the hallelujah video years ago!!!

[aaroplainsimple15]

@couturesixfour yes, that was more than enough. i wasn't trying to bother you, i was just curious. thanks!

[couturesixfour]

@aaroplainsimple15 there isn't much to tell, i am not one to hyperbolize. rather simple, karen did Balm in Gilead and then Campbell did Even Me... outdid her!! she was cleaner, her range was clearer, and she was a lil bit nicer to the people, but we all have our days!! however, she summed karen right on up that night!!! i love them both, but she got her there....WAS THAT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR YOU??!??!??

[aaroplainsimple15]

@couturesixfour i wanted to know what exactly happened when lecresia "blew karen out the water", as you described.

[Kdn89b]

@couturesixfour Yes it was... you are correct :). Classical singers dnt use full chest...
