      I've been told Opera also trains one in emotive singing (like the anger expressed in "Fire and Ice" or "Hell is for Children") and stage presence. Both are needed for Opera to work, and evidenced in her singing and concert performances.

    When I was a kid in 1980, thought she was pretty good so bought her 2cnd record Crimes Of Passion and was really impressed every song on the record was good, no filler, and was really surprised to find her beautifully done cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Kate was sacred ground for me, but Pat's cover is so beautifully done, I really fell in love with her first 5 records, the 5th of which is a live record. She's an enormous talent!, her husband and collaborator Neil Giraldo is a great guitar player too!.

  • @josiepkat
    @josiepkat 17 днів тому +1

    She’s a very well trained singer. As a kid- learning from singing with records - I was not at all a rock singer but using her songs as guides to go into high notes was a goal as I was solidly an alto. I still love to do some Pat Benatar karaoke when no one’s home. There’s a LOT more growl in her voice here than on her records - but it’s all good technique because she can pull right out of that and sing clear and clean. Listen to her cover of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights on the Crimes of Passion album which really shows her versatility. Without great training (in Opera!) no way would she be singing so well at 70. Love her so so much! ❤️‍🔥

    Listen to her work on the two earlier albums, In the Heat of the Night and Crimes of Passion. "We Live For Love" on In the Heat of the Night is an excellent example of her pure high soprano on those early albums. I feel you can hear the toll the 'rock voice' took on that high range over the years (and yet her work continued to be so amazing!) in how the emphasis moved to the range you hear on "Shadows of the Night". Also listen to "Wuthering Heights" on the Crimes of Passion album -- beautiful bell tone on the high notes in the almost a capella beginning of the song (so good!), and running up and down the range so effortlessly. She was one of the first performers I just couldn't wait for more from.

    Much respect for the work and talent. She may be the best female straight-up rock singer ever for a few reasons. Although I like several of her songs, "Anxiety" being somewhat of a departure from the norm. She did some more interesting bluesy stuff later in career. Like anyone from my generation, I was captivated by her whenever I watched MTV in the 80s, but I really wasn't into that type of stadium music. There was a Boston-based 80s band called Face To Face with a singer named Laurie Sargent I think I prefer. Maybe not as technically proficient as Pat, but she went on to explore more musical avenues.

    In 1979 or 80, I was living in Albany, New York and there was a bar on one of the main drags that booked some pretty famous acts. One day, though, a buddy of mine recommended that we go see this "guy" Pat Benatar. We'd never heard of him and had no idea if he would be any good, but the place booked some really good ones in the past and well, the tickets were cheap.
    I was standing maybe 30 feet from the "stage" when Pat came out and he definitely was not a he. Her clothes looked like they were spray painted on. Anyway, the band started to play and she rocked the roof off of the place. Hands down, one of the best concerts I ever went to. She still has that same energy. Don't know how she does it.
