Not everyone can be a real coloratura .... coloratura means people who can sing very agile and easy to a e6 f6 g6. Real rare coloraturas can go even to a a6 b6 and C7. Not every soprano can sing those notes in head voice. Real coloratura like Erna Sack and mado Robin are very rare.

Lol you're the first to complain about that

haha you're so mad

Whitney was a spinto soprano in her prime but yes after she got a mezzo soprano. I dont know about the lyric part. Whitney houstons voice sounds too strong and full to be a lyric. The drugs and Smoking make her voice less powerful.

I agree with some of them but not all of them.

People say her voice had dropped over the time to be a mezzo overall. I believe she's a spinto soprano in early years.

I agree ! It is an old video though ^^

I do not fully agree. What do you mean by light music ?

Because fachs defines roles in opera because opera isn't just singing, it's also acting and based on the scenes and the characters in them, the characters are supposed to look and sound like a certain. And light music means pop, jazz, blues... contemporary music genres. Although singer could have a classical music vocal training, but sings pop, then classical and pop cannot still be combined each other.

Wagnerian is a specific type of dramatic soprano who trains to sing the operas of Wagner, which generally use heavier orchestration, and are notoriously long, like 4 hours or more. Therefore, training one's lung capacity to last the long hours of heavy singing, long lines of singing, and producing the volume output to not be drowned by the orchestra, is crucial to sing Wagner. Usually, very metallic dramatic voices shine in Wagner like Kirsten Flagstad, Birgit Nilsson, or even Astrid Varnay, despite her voice was not as stainless steel clear as the former two, she had a much darker and cavernous sound.

You're welcome !

Joan Sutherland had many issues singing in that repertoire due to a not strong technique. She's from my point of view a lyric soprano. Never heard of Callas singing lyrical pieces.

@@glambert4ever163 Maria Callas is a Soprano Assoluta but I agree with you, she mostly sang repertoires written for Coloraturas , Dramatics , Spinto and her voice in general would not fit the lyric repertoire it's to dramatic and large , Joan Sutherland is a true Dramatic Coloratura soprano her , technique is was better than Maria Callas when it came to coloratura and she's far too agile to be a lyric soprano , Lyric sopranos have little agility compared to Coloraturas , A true Lyric soprano is Leotyne Price , Leotyne Price never consistently sang outside the lyric repertoire , compare Joan Sutherlands rendition of the aria Sempere libera from LaTravia to Renee Fleming , Renee Fleming is less agile and even skipped the E flat it wasn't return in the aria but a lot of Coloraturas added the E flat so it's become a tradition , Joan Sutherland was also known for her Speed and dexterity , definitely not a lyric soprano

@@majahandlovu8115 i don't hear any dramatic quality from Sutherland.. Her timbre is too bright, girlish and very light.

@@awokwok1029 Maria Callas herself is not a dramatic soprano

@@majahandlovu2050 Callas herself said that she is a very heavy voice but always lighten her voice.

Holy shite. Hello Fuse?

@@feooooo1884 Hello! 😊

Now I know. I ask my vocal teacher, and he told me that I am lyric coloratura soprano because I have a certain agility when I sing 😊

@@NynyshAulia People mistaken Maria Callas as a mezzo when she started her career.. But she actually a soprano...

@@awokwok1029 Ikr 🤧

Thank you !

Whitney has as bright of a timbre naturally as Celine… Listen closely and ignore the tonal modifications.

@@KajiVocals Celine and Whitney both have bright timbres which indicate their naturally Sopranos but the difference between the two is that Whitney matches the trates of a spinto soprano and Celine a full lyric if Whitney was a full lyric she would sound like her mother Cissy Houston or maybe like Celine dion full lyric Sopranos don't always sound the same for example Audra Mcdonald and Julie Andrews For opera/classical Leotyne price and Harolyn blackwell but their trates remain the same

@@majahandlovu8115 Audra McDonald has a way darker voice than Celine and Whitney lol. She also has trouble hitting belts past C5. And head notes past G5. She is a soprano but a big-voiced one (at least after having kids). Julie Andrews was a high lyric coloratura soprano, trained as one too. Very very bright voice. Leontyne was classified by her coach as a big-voiced lyric soprano. And she had some issues with her technique too. Harolyn was an UNDERDEVELOPED high lyric soprano. No chest voice. And no, sopranos don’t have bright voices necessarily. It is only bright as relative to mezzos. But the voice itself might be dark. Vivian Reed, dramatic soprano = dark voice. Linda Hopkins = soprano, dark voice.

@@KajiVocals Audra is definitely not a Spinto soprano even though her voice was dark her voice sounds a bit lighter in her upper range , Harolyn blackwell has perfect and better control than Leotyne Price if you compare their renditions of summertime you will hear the difference, Full lyrics can have lighter voices such as Harolyn blackwell but their trates remain the same as a full lyric with a heavier voice the difference between Celine dion , Whitney and Cissy Houston , Celine and Cissy are both Full lyrics , Whitneys upper belts sounded more echoed than Cissy and Celine , and if Whitney was really a full lyric she would sound exactly like her mother

@@majahandlovu8115 Full-lyric vs light-lyric are not FACH. They are contemporary categories that reference the TECHNIQUE used. FULLER approach vs LIGHTER approach. Cissy used very little vocal weight. Someone's voice 'echoing more' doesn't mean much as it will depend on a) the acoustics of the room b) the microphone c) the technique used.

Exactly! Vocal fach does not applies to pop music.. I wouldnt use some of the examples used here. Doesnt show what the voice type really is.. like for the Dramatic soprano.. showing La Nilsson singing Vissi D'arte, which is more of a full lyric soprano aria. It would be very much better if it is 'In Questa Reggia' from Puccini's Turandot or 'Hojohoto' from Wagner's Die Walküre, Dramatic and Wagnerian soprano arias correspondingly. And also Whitney is actually a Mezzo-soprano. Anna Moffo is a Lyric Coloratura Soprano. Rosa Ponselle is more of a Dramatic Soprano with coloratura qualities. She doesnt sing the higher notes like all Coloratura Sopranos do.

You are right. Although it is an old video, still there 2 clasically trained singers.

@@gd3172 Whitney was a soprano

Yeah right !!!!!! She amazing.

Very clear lyric.

@@KajiVocals where? Her voice wasn’t bright enough to be a full lyric. Karen Clark sheard is a full lyric. Whitney is no where near as Soprano who can translate head voice range to mix chest belts.

@@Blueridge4000 Please listen to literally any performance in her prime and pay attention to to the times when she’s not darkening her tone. And even her darkened tone is very bright all things considered. She uses the full mass of her voice, darkens her voice with a lowered larynx, lifted soft palate, retracted tongue and dark vowels and yet her voice is still very audibly soprano. Karen is over-brightening her voice and has a habitual raised larynx. Her voice isn’t too much different from Whitney’s naturally. Both bright sopranos with high tessitura.

@@KajiVocals Whitney was a Spinto soprano because if you compare her voice in how will I know it's really bright and a bit light but in Hold up the light it's darker and more powerful , an example of a true Full lyric is her mother Cissy Houston , Cissy has was better technique than Whitney , her voice is dark full and rich but it's a bit lighter compared to Whitney

@@majahandlovu8115 Lighter relates to the lesser skew quotient and a high open glottal quotient degree in the voice. Neither of these things are biological or dependent on voice type. Cissy’s tessitura is audibly lower if you truly research her voice and hear her sing full-voiced similarly to Whitney, and her tone is audibly darker and richer… Cissy’s technique is decent but not better than Whitney’s. Cissy’s vowels were very inconsistent in the whole entirety of the voice. She has developed a very bad wobble very quickly and had bad tongue tension as early as the early 1970s. Spinto soprano voice is voice that’s akin to a true dramatic in tone except a tiny bit brighter and higher-set. Renata Tebaldi is a spinto-lyric soprano. Spinto with a tone of a lyric soprano. Listen to her tone. It should tell you everything. Also just saying, Whitney’s volume output for the coordination she used was not that big. It is big but if you listen to a true dramatic (Vivian Reed) or mezzo (Etta James) sing the same way they’d overpower her with absolute ease. Then you have Shirley Bassey who started out as soprano (classified by her coach) and developed into a higher mezzo with time. And she would overpower all the three ladies combined. And without a microphone.

Whitney was a spinto

Whitney was a lyric soprano. The voice was far too bright and high to be anything ‘dramatic’.

@@KajiVocals Could be possible. Maybe a full lyric when at her prime

@@KajiVocals I personally think Whitney Houston was a Spinto soprano if she was a Lyric soprano she would sound like Cissy Houston , Cissy and Whitney sound similar it's just Whitneys voice was dark coloured but Whitney during her debut especially on songs such as How will I know , she can easily be identified as a lyric soprano but from 1987 -1994 her voice was naturally getting darker and fuller , so i think that's proof that she was a Spinto compare her performance How will I know and hold up the light you will here the difference

@@vangogh66110 Whitney was most definitely a spinto soprano her voice was full , rich and dark if you compare her vocals from How will I know her voice is girly and bright and in Hold up the light her voice was darker fuller and richer I think that was an indication that she was a developing into a Spinto

No She is full lyrics soprano

Very clear lyric.

I agree. She definitely does not sound like a full lyric.

Debatable tbh it's possible she is a lyric with dramatic approach. Idk enough about her "natural" voice to make any garauntees.

I think you don't understand what is squillo. You need to have also scuro and overtones from chest. Lara is mostly mix voice. No way to create overtones with minimun TA participation

@@whitneyandmariahremasters8597 Then you try to sing like her with merely TA participation and let me know if you are able to produce gigantic voice like hers in Je T’appartiens

@@yongsua1989 I'm not saying she is a bad singer. Because she clearly is not... I'm just stating facts- If you don't like them then its your problem buddy! The video is clear. And I think is possible to sing like her with TA participation. Opera singers can definitely do that AND also Shirley Bassey and Whitney Houston can probably keep up in their primes. This is about vocal technique at the end of the day.

@@whitneyandmariahremasters8597 The video isn't clear, because Lara sounds closer to opera singers than any other pop singers stated in this video unless you are tone deaf.

@@whitneyandmariahremasters8597 Don't think, just prove it to me by yourself.

Yes

If include sopracuto soprano, then not so. They are second (or still highest along with sopracuto soprano/sopranino).

She’s not.
