Week 399, 2/3/60
Guest Host: Betsy
Panel: Henry, Carol Burnett, Durward Kirby, Bess
Program Staff: Hazel Oxholm
Lighting: Sal Bonsignore
The set is redecorated to add a "feminine touch." Norman Paris plays accordion and piano on stage accompanied by women on harp and double bass.
Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir Nielsen, Reykjavik: "I have a soprano singing voice ... I also sing tenor and baritone ... I also sing bass." Sings "Ol' Man River" like Paul Robeson and "Ain't Misbehavin'" like Louis Armstrong.
The rest of the episode:
Some dresses are modeled, and then the models are revealed to have what at the time were male-dominated jobs. May Grayson is a bartender, Loretta Rudney is a Pinkerton private investigator, Margaret Allen is a barber, and Rona Levine is a doorman.
Edna McKuen, Phoenix: "My home town voted me Man of the Year" (only female member of the city council).
Guest Jean-Pierre Aumont: In response to the "feminine" theme, he claims that one area in which men still have it over women is designing women's fashions.
To "prove" this, Henry and Durward are provided with materials from which they are to design dresses for Carol and Bess. - Комедії

She's not a freak !! Her voice is a gift.
She encouraged people to laugh. If I sang that low, I'd be humiliated and disgusted to make those noises. All the same, more power to her for saying its okay for people to laugh at it. Even she did.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 Singing that low would actually disgust you?
@@abracadaverous Yes. In fact, it would break my heart to sound ugly like that. Realistically, it is not something to be proud of, unless one likes to sound bad or encourage people to laugh at it - which she did. (Think Florence Foster Jenkins and that woman was laughed at for her voice and bad singing) If you disagree, that's your choice to remain in your echo chamber. Anyone who thinks that sounds good is unrealistic and needs to take the cotton out of their ears.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 You'd be disgusted? Why? Singing that low as a female is incredibly talented. I'm just a bit confused on why it's so disgusting...
Emily... what the fuck.
Why are they laughing at her? This is an amazing feat!
+Alyssa White Because it's unexpected, and the singer herself obviously sees the humorous potential, so why not?
+Alyssa White Laughing and clapping, keep in mind, She is obviously exploiting the humour value of her extremely low voice, hence why she chose such an infamously low song, and why she chose to draw out the slide to B2 as long as she did.
+Alyssa White People tend to laugh at what they're not used to... I remember when I was a kid a show on TV making a joke out of a man with a high countertenor voice, whereas these days people would have admired him for his talent. Maybe people are getting a bit more broad minded and don't always need to put people in little boxes as to what is acceptable or not.
When you sing this in front of Carol Burnett and other comedians/stars, it's bound to get laughter as well as them being a bit awestruck. Prior to her descending low she demonstrated being able to sing Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. By the way, my daughter can descend this low with consistency, although she obviously spends the majority of her time in the alto/soprano register.
I think it's because she imitated two of the male singers who usually sang these songs. They would have laughed as well if a man had done so.
It's a Bb2, which is impressive as she sings the note with a richness you wouldn't normally hear from other women who can get that low.
Apparently, you have perfect pitch, I envy you if u do have it. I am now a 6'5" 320pound male, but from 5th grade until I graduated, I played the clarinet. I was band captain my senior year. My voice is now very, very deep, but my pitch recognition is very poor when I sing. My pitch was damn near perfect on clarinet when I graduated. Our director tuned the band to me for my last two years. I wish I could sing better, but my ear hears high pitches when I should be singing bass or counter bass.
What the time stamp? I can hit Bb2 sometimes, every morning too, But I got chest G#2, but, obviously, was weak, but I recorded that, is in my channel, can you watch? ( I am 14 years old!)
@@kevinkelley3657 that's a shame Kevin. If it makes you feel better I don't have perfect pitch. My piano is in tune and I used that to locate the pitch 😆
@@annajullian8648 i can sang even lower than you. Im 13. One moment at the time, i sang down to c#2 chest when i accidentally sing 'hold on' by beyonce with an octave lower. Anyway, my vocal fry end at the tip of 1st octave, which its bb1. But compare that with my lowest chest note (which id said c#2), i say it's impressive cuz that gap doesnt make any difference.
@@shipincognitoandanonymous609 are you sure that its chest? Do you have proof? Only boys can do that at your age
I want to emphasis that she was capable of singing bariton, tenor, mezzo and soprano, even coloratura soprano. So all speculations about her voice type are inappropriate she had just an extra ordinary voice
Dang she could sing every vocal part in a choir
A Contralto Profondo (Deep contralto), that's extremely rare.
not really as she can sing high so she is an extremely rarer soprano sofgato.
i can go that low and im not trying to brag
My grandmother sang this way, as I do now. She passed away two years ago,and I want to keep the tradition alive. My voice is weak past tenor range, as it was inherited.
I thought I was the only one I knew. Lol. My family loves it. I fool everybody on the phone and pretend to be a guy all the time. It's awesome.
Annabelle the great
“I can do that low and I’m not trying to brag.”
Well that’s exactly what you’re doing, so...
Unbelievable. I've heard fantastic countertenors and men with great falsetto voices but this is really a first. That's impossibly low for a female voice but she's doing it.
I don't know if I'm hearing myself wrong, but I noticed I can also do the same low voice? Although the lowest sound strains my vocal chords and is a little more breathy than the singer's here.
“Countertenors *and* men with great falsetto voices.”
I realize this isn’t your point, but those are essentially the same thing.
@@FirstnameLastname-bn4gv people have a misconception counter tenors have a higher voice than tenors. when like you say its just people with good falsetto. and usually deeper voices have fuller falsettos so counter tenors a lot of the time are also bass or baritone.
A lot of positive comments here. Guess I must be special after all - having even a deeper baritone voice as this woman.😳😱😍 If ever I record I know where to post.😉😇
Btw, I make fun of how low my voice is, but...I digress...I used to make fun...because It was pushed in society that women should not have such low voices - especially, for singing. To be an Alto is/was nothing spectacular. Glad to know not everyone feels that way. At one time I "was" a Soprano.
@@andiharp9275 yesss! Oh em gee! I'd like to hear you sing like her! A truly gem.
I love that the hostess at the end said with deepest empathy that they shouldn't laugh and asked if she minded the audience laughing. What a kind, considerate soul. I personally think this singer was unbelievably talented with such a rare range (AND TONE) housed within one body, but the times were completely ignorant to what were deemed gender norms. In the simplest social understanding, a woman is meant to sing in a higher range and a man is meant to sing lower; anything outside of that was seen as queer or odd and/or funny. I believe the singer laughed with them in a way that a person sort of jeers at oneself as a means to join in on the joke rather than being hurt by being the butt of one. It's not about being butthurt or hyper-sensitive, but appreciating something for its uniqueness rather than poking fun because it's an anomaly. This woman was a talent and a half! I wish at some point, she could have heard gasps of inspired awe and applause rather than cackles and slapping knees.
Well stated😍😇
@@andiharp9275 Absolutely.💖
Yes, but I also kind of got the sense that she had a good sense of humour about it all as well, because when the hostess asked if it was okay she immediately went 'yes, of course,' and then struck out that jazz number 😂
This amazing Lady is Mrs. Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir (b. 11. April 1915 - d. 28. September 1997), an Icelandic singer and entertainer.
Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir was a Contralto Profondo with a very wide vocal range from Akranes in Iceland. She was able to sing from Soprano to Bass, but her strongest register was her chest register, which gave her a powerful Tenor/Baritone sound.
Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir studied in Denmark, and lived there for a large part of her life. She also lived for a time in the United States. She moved to Iceland in 1992.
interesting!
+Vidar Eggertsson I think she was/is a soprano sfogato an exceptionally good one at that.
was. she died 1997
She's terrific and exceptionally diverse! Thank you for the information on her. Sad that she isn't well-known over in the States. What a gift she was!
September 8 of 1997
To me going really low is just as impressive as going really high . We need to appreciate women with deep voices more
You probably won't ever see this but thank you. I have a very high voice with a wide range that I didn't appreciate when I was young. I then lost my voice almost completely.Due to muscle tension dyphonia and severe GERD. I have learned that I can sing now song.Well , maybe even a little more than some but in a contralto range. Unbreak My Heart didn't hurt to sing. 😢
CAN YALL STOP LAUGHING AND LET DA WOMAN SING
JEEZ
She encouraged it, so who are you to begrudge her encouraging people to laugh at the way she made those sounds? Yeesh!
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 oh dear ! This is the first time I agree with anything you ever said
i'm also a female baritone , i was also always confused because i liked to sing so called "manly" songs and i sounded better in them ..also i can do a very good Severus Snape impression which is very difficult even for guys to do
Awesome *-*
Miro aj I love you
María Daeva haha love you too :D
سعودية اشعرية not difficult for guys to do. Thanks for the Arabic name, by the way. It fucks up my typing.
Oh my god same! I used to hide it because I was self conscious, but after a while I started to own it 👍. Now it's a game we play that my friends give me show tunes and I have to sing them as Severus snape سعودية اشعرية
does someone know the name of this talented singer??? she is one in a million... sad people just admire high register in woman😞
See description please
Please look in the video description.
Her name was Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir, from Iceland :)
Izayoi Higurashi people ignore low register in guys too... I'm a basso profundo, and I just get told that I'm creepy as everyone goes to listen to the tenor.
@@Turt3752 bro it is like the tenors barely do the minimum when hitting the f in santa fe and have girls throwing themselves at them lol
I've always been self conscious of my voice because I sound very masculine at times. Well, this woman inspires me to own dat shet!
its not the notes shes singing that make her voice seem low, it is the quality of it.
My God , this woman has an insane voice! She's amazing!
That's incredible. She has a huge voice range.
She was icelandic named Hallbjörg Bjarnadóttir
Her voice is beautiful and I love her.
How did she go that low? Mariah Carey goes low too! I bet they'd do a great job playing male characters. That's what I'm trying to do, due to my lack of brothers.
Mariah truly can’t go this low, I think her lowest is around an Eb3 but anything below that she’s either have to drop her larynx or like it would be pure air
That girl have a range of an octave lower compared to mariah carey
Winter Belle No I think Mariah’s lowest is like an f2
@@maryhaunny944 Mariah might have an F2 with fry, but it sounds like she gets below an F2 in chest here.
I've always been hard on myself because when I sing or shout, I sound more masculine. It shouldn't be a bad thing if a woman sings like a man, or a man sings like a woman. This is awesome!
So what if I don't sound like Celine Dion? It shouldn't be a bad thing that when I sing, all people hear is Kurt Cobain.
Glad to see I'm not the only person in the world with a mans singing voice.
That laugh at 0:32...!!!
Damn!!! XDDD
Assoluta LOL
She would've been close to 50 I think and she was rocking that dress, ppl don't even do that now...
Her voice is so beautiful. Really magical.
she's wonderful!! what a huge voice range!
Counter-Alto to its max. Holy crap she is good
This is my DREAM OMG. I think they're just laughing because they presented it in a comical way, I don't think they're laughing at her skill. Plus it's SO unexpected and amazing!
Those are some fantastic low notes for a female!
I WANT TO DO THAT
I've got a baritone range
I GOTTA
I really love listening to the host talk from 1.51-1.58 ... just so polite and kind-sounding. I wish we still talked that way sometimes.

I feel so bad for her... She has amazing talent yet people are laughing at her... ;-;
She is an Icelandic singer and comedian. They are supposed to laugh.
Oooooh XD
She encouraged them to laugh.
Her Louis Armstrong impression is really freakin' great.
The men wish they could sing like them
if I had a voice that low I'd voice act the heck out of my characters!!!!!
SHE'S AWESOME!!!! I want to sing just like her!
She s singing so beautifully 🥺❤️🙇♀️😭
That’s the most impressive female baritone I’ve heard yet
Wouldn't you love to see her on one of today's talent shows? GOLDEN BUZZER!!!
Just incredible!
This is amazing.
THAT WAS AMAZING!
So much talent
This gave me chills! Her voice is incredible
Outstanding
My mind is blown 🤯. This is fantastic.
Wow!!! That's amazing 😮😮😮
She is amazing!
Wow amazing
Its very incredible
awesome!!!
She went from baritone to Peter Griffin at 1:02
I was looking for the Peter Griffin comment lmao I thought the same thing when I heard that part
She has such an amazing voice
Uaah!!! This is spectacular!! I love it!:D
She’s amazing
Wow! I must have watched this 50+ times! I just love her so much! So talented, just incredible. I mean that last note on “He just keeps rolling along!” Wow! 🤩🤗
This woman had not only an amazing voice, she was a great singer too ! 💫
Amo esto
That is some serious talent
I would like to add my 2 cents - its great fun, laughter is wonderful way of expressing an appreciation of this unique talent - bravo!
I love this one!!! :)
A beautiful contralto voice.
how beautiful
my friends love it when I do this! And funny, this is always the song I sing to show off my skills!
While they’re laughing at her she has a beautiful and unique voice! I would’ve loved to see such a beautiful woman like her with a powerful voice in person. I am sure she is no longer with us. May she Rest In Peace ❤️
Beautifull! Take these Tabus away and open your ears and perspektives! this kind of laughter you got from countertenors too, and today they are stars!
Thank you =)
goals
Her voice truly was a gift, and I'm just blown away as I've never heard ANY woman sing that low.
First time listening to her and already a fan!!! Miraculous
Honestly as singer She defiantly knows how to have the correct placement.
wow what talent 😶
Im impressed. Such resonance. When I saw the title of this video, I immediately concluded that it would have been more of a contralto tone and registry.
She's better than any tenor singing today - great singer for any voice range
that just literally blew me AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in complete disbelief! I've never heard a female baritone until now!
Some male tenors can’t go this low!
She makes me feel better about being a baritone. I always wanted to be a tenor and I found myself being sad and I wanted to change it but this video helped me realize a little more that I like my voice.
Wow. Beautiful I’m so glad she’s embarrassed it because what a gift!
Please post other segment with this singer, would love to hear her other voices
She...is a BEAST!! Just flat out incredible lower register.
She has a really great voice
Down to a Bb2, wow!!
Nossa que máximo!
She have an amazing voice wtf!! Makes me wanna sing too! 😭😭😭
That is beast.
I dreamed of having a high Soprano voice before but now, I'm dreaming of having a Contralto profondo! :)
She makes me so happy! I sing as a female tenor in my choir she is like my goal to sing lower (with practice if not close to it)
Yup. It doesn't matter what year or day it is; the talent is out there, somewhere.
Those Rolling R's are AWESOME!!!!!!!
wow, incredible!!!! I want her voice range!
my first impression..
WOW.. 😮
Wow!
This is incredible. She sounds just like Paul Robeson and Louis Armstrong. If I closed my eyes, I'd think I was listening to them.
I was watching this with my mom, and she shouted "QUIT LAUGHING YOU A## HOLES!" 😂 i love my mom
Me too lol 😂🤣
Absolutely Marvelous!
I didn't know women could be baritones!
I definitely heard of female tenors but a female baritone?
I'm mind blown!!
I have that same deep voice. That's why I have enormous stage fright... 😔
Wow, what an amazing voice! I'm a woman and I can hit some low notes, but my goodness, what talent! :D
This isn't a baritone....she is a very low contralto.
Monteiro Eduardo It is.Low contraltos are ussulay called "female boritone" cuz they sing as low as a male(baritone)
By pitch standards, she was singing in the baritone registry.
+Sarah White female baritone is a misnomer.
I am a very deep toned bass baritone
A falsetto man isn't an alto, or soprano.
+Jermaine Elliott
you then have never heard the voice of a true baritone. Tracy Chapman is an example. Her voice seems rather manly. This great singer has a rather feminine voice compared to Chapman.
Yet Chapman is a contralto and contrasoprano aka messosoprano
Hector Manouele d' Faustine Bran there can be a male Alto or soprano if they have the register
I always thought it's possible, but I've never thought I'll see video with it :D
Sorry for my bad English ;)
This is funny....kudos.
Goodness! As a contralto, on my best mornings I can sing down to A2, but I certainly don't have any power past C#3. (My tessitura is E3-A4.) She can even do character voices at the end. Do you realize how challenging it is to get that grit and be in tune? Yes, we laugh because it's unexpected (I've seen people laugh their first time hearing Geoff Castellucci or Tim Foust) but we keep listening because it's beautiful. The hostess was so sweet to make sure she's okay with the laughs, although I'm sure that by her age, she gets a kick out of seeing reactions. That slow glissando shows she KNOWS the audience is in awe, and she's milking the shock factor. Love it!
That's identical to my range. I can bust out an extra octave if I falsetto it.
