It's a D at the end and quite many sing that note. The interesting thing is when both hit it!

Alberto ne chante pas mal ,elle possède la flexibilité et l'agilité en plus du registre suraigu et du contre Ré.
Dommage qu'elle soit si peu expressive ,et qu'elle ne ressente pas ce qu'elle chante .
C'est l'inverse pour Baltsa qui est excellente comme chanteuse et comme actrice ,et qui s'apparente plus à Callas que Alberti .

This could have been good if someone had taught Aliberti to sing... or rather, if she had remembered what her teachers had taught her, instead of contorting her voice in a vain attempt to imitate Callas.

[@draganvidic2039]

There’s differences though.
Aliberti’s voice is smaller and she seldom uses chestvoice.

[@kbhprinsesse]

@@draganvidic2039 nonetheless, she sounds horrible, distorting her voice trying to sound like someone else instead of singing with her true voice and accepting its limitations, for instance its small size to which you refer.

Many italians sing in a similar way even if I get your point.

@@draganvidic2039 so? That doesn't make it good singing.

​​@@kbhprinsesse....se è orribile la voce dell'Aliberti non ti dovrebbe piacere neppure la voce della Callas, visto che sono simili, se fa schifo una fa schifo anche l'altra 😅
