A Comprehensive Look At Female Pop Singers IA

Christina Aguilera


     Take her or leave her. I was impressed, however, when she sang, "Beautiful," from her knees.  Most singers need to stand because they need their bodies fully erect to sustain the force of their voice. The ones that sit on stools and sing are pretty impressive as well. She definitely has a gift, but it is seemingly contrived. As if she's forcing it, and not allowing it to naturally flow. (I think Jennifer Hudson does this, too) I don't like it. It's like can you sing the song or not? When things are meant to be especially in an artform, it will happen on its own. We are the just the vessels that carry it to the light. Then at the Super Bowl, she forgot the words to one of the easiest songs ever. What? Thumbs down.


Technicalities:


Vocal Range:


Spinto Soprano

    
     This would explain the notion of a contrived flow. It translates as "pushed lyric" just as I was describing before. Exactly. Technically, singers with this peculiar skill set do this on purpose in order to sing above a band or an orchestra. (where we creep back into those who are "yelling") But, girlfriend this is Pop...not Op(era) The band is so throw away when we're in this genre. Nobody cares if the guitar player is any good...they're not even listening to it.



C3-C7, and a G#6 and a G#6


4 Octaves(she actually does possess it)


Style:

Pop, of course, but wants sooooo bad to be bluesy. Uh...no.
