Yulia Townsend - Plaisir D'Amour

I put this together as a tribute to the delightful Yulia. From her new album "Montage". The most beautiful creature, with the most beautiful voice. Sigh.....

We saw Yulia in concert in Greymouth, New Zealand a couple of years ago...what a voice and what a fabulous personality. We were a couple of rows from the front and Yulia came off the stage and sang right next to us. it was a truely entertaining 2 hours. Wonderful! Hope you come back to the coast soon Yulia.

This singer is new to me. She is terrific.

@PN9K5 What are you talking about? What is patetisk? Yulia is a young woman not a girl.

SO CRAP

@12harby Having seen your channel, I guess you like Katherine the best. I think mezzos do have more options in the crossover/pop world. Most pop songs are placed at the mezzo or contralto range, rarely at the soprano. I see that Nan Mouskouri sings this song a lot also. Now she was a great singer in my view.

@swanningaround Aby one who has seen the`Katherine from theo2 `dvd will know who is by miles the best .

[swanningaround]

@12harby That is because:

Yulia is a contralto

Katherine is a mezzo soprano

Hayley is a soprano

All three are good singers. Depends on who you like. I prefer Yulia out of the three.

[swanningaround]

Yulia is lucky to have her voice as a contralto. Many great songs are set for the contralto, for example, "you'll never work alone". Contraltos are never forgotten also. Who can forget the greats like Claramae Turner and Kathleen Ferrier?

I really like Yulia's style. She sings and acts in an understated ladylike way - like they did 100 or so years ago.

@alwayswildatheart I was replying to somerone who said that hayley is no 1 crossover singer in the world andYulia could be no2 .Hayley is no where near as popular as Katherine Jenkins ,who has sold more albums ,whose performances gain twice as much revenue as HW ,Hayley has very little versitility and has a very low stage presence ,compared to the singer ,presenter dancer , athlete even sometimes gymnast Miss Jenkins .

A lot of the time Hayley is flat.Yulia is more like Katherine in singing

[alwayswildatheart]

@12harby You can't compare sopranos with mezzos and contraltos - why even try?

Beautiful song and woman.
