She absolutely should have won the competition - she has a wonderfully unique voice and she is a true artist. Her singing reminds me very much of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson.
Vocally somewhere between Hunt Lieberson and Von Stade, with Natalie Stutzman’s chest voice/low contralto notes. Great company to be in it goes without saying. ❤
That is what I am thinking - lovely, unusual quality, perfect vibrato (so quick and even - my favorite), and her musicianship…melts me
@@SteveL2012Stutzman wishes!
@@buddys_dad As you say ; she melts me, EVERY time I listen her. And this is just a video. What could happen with a live performance ? Maybe I should faint ?
I have listened hundreds of singers in my life, I'm singer too. Beth is breathless. Not only because her chest voice or her terrific and deep musicianship. She has something special and unique. She does not sing ; She IS what she sings - flesh and bones "till the point of her hair" like the French say.
I don't like to compare an artist with another. However, must go back to my teens to find so similar feelings and inner sensations listening a singer. It happened with the voice of Joni Mitchell.
Where do we find such a phenomenal chest voice in current singers if not Beth Taylor?! I believe I have already watched all of her videos available on UA-cam. That's what opera needs: OLD SCHOOL OF SING! BRAVA! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She harks back to the contralti of the Golden Age
@@scottgrunow5201 She is a FIND! I've been following Beth Taylor since there were only 3 videos of her on YT, all by Helmut Fischer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WONDERFUL!
My choice as winner. Very special voice . Hope you have a long and fruitful career dear girl. 🥰
for me she IS the winner, love from the Netherlands
I loved this the best of all the performances of the five selected finalists. Both as song choice and voice.
Top spellbinding magic. Beth was faultless with overflowing that-something-extra. Agree with others, deserved to win.
What a luscious voice. Beautiful.
Impresionante la elegancia de esta mujer, tanto en su fraseo como en su presencia escénica. Una delicia el tratamiento vocal y musical.
Simply gorgeous...
One of my favourite songs, sung as well as any of the greats I can think of! In my opinion better!
Beautiful.

yes yes yes a low female voice that can carry over an orchestra
