ReplyDeleteEffortless Voice, She is one of my favorite female vocalists
ReplyDeleteI usually agree with your critique but this shit is way off bro...Jill Scott aint nobodies soprano.
ReplyDeletewhat do you reckon? I got that info from a jill scott fan page. Was in a bit of a rush when i made this profile
ReplyDeleteI agree with DivaDevotee because I've heard that Jill is classically trained...she used to sing 'opera' and I think has busted out an aria at a performance or two. I mean, I'm not super knowledgeable about technical things but I think this is right.
ReplyDeleteI feel Jill Scott is a contralto.
ReplyDeleteToo technical and needs to work on enunciation
ReplyDeleteShe is a soprano. She is a dramatic soprano, she mostly uses her lower range in most of her music, giving the impression that she is a contralto
ReplyDeleteJill is a Soprano, she mostly uses her low and mixed mid high notes in most of her songs, listen to the high parts, she has the same timbre Soprano voice comparable to Kelly Clarkson and Patty Labelle's
ReplyDeleteJill is a soprano
ReplyDeletea REAL vocalist.
ReplyDeleteNegative: SHe over sings....A LOT....
ReplyDeleteAlso, Jill can't whistle, she hits "opera style" notes....Its not the same as a whistle.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a fault in technique, that's a fault in musicianship.
ReplyDeleteBut, at the same time, DD posts that as a negative on loads of people's profiles :p. Saying it detracts from the melody etc.
ReplyDelete*devils advocate*
The C7 sounded like a whistle to me...
ReplyDeleteI know this, I'm just stating that oversinging isn't a fault in one's singing technique per se but more so a fault in their musicianship. That's all.
ReplyDeleteTends to sing nasally
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. Dramatic sopranos are often confused with contraltos to due their dark, heavy timbre. One must check the tessituras and comfortable ranges to make the distinction. Also, even though dramatic sopranos tend to be very dark for soprano standards, their actual vocal weight tends to still be lighter than the most traditional contraltos.
ReplyDeletethat said couldnt she be a soprano with a highly developed chest voice explainning her darker heavy timbre, Yes? NO?
ReplyDeleteThe underlying timbre could be apparent in other registers. If she has a developed chest register, that could give her sound more of a heavy, darker tone either way. But this darkness would probably be apparent in the head voice, too, if she were a dramatic soprano. Their head voices are not as light as lyric sopranos.
ReplyDeleteTends to sing nasally
ReplyDeleteThat's what I said!
ReplyDeleteIts not

ReplyDeleteHow does she over sing?? I feel like her voice is to heavy for vocal runs
