I didn't know of her, until she was recommended, so here is a little blurb about Siti Nurhaliza to get you up to speed:
Siti Nurhaliza is a Malaysian artist, who to date, has garnered more than 200 local, as well as many international, awards. She rose to fame after winning a talent show in 1995, at the age 16- she's now 33- and has since released fifteen studio albums, with her latest, All Your Love, being her first in English.
Vocal Type: Coloratura mezzo-soprano
Vocal Range: 2 Octaves 4 notes D3-A5
Whistle Register:No
Vocal Pluses: Siti Nurhaliza is a technical singer that sounds to have excellent understanding of her voice. She is capable of complex melisma that often dips into the major Locrian Scale, producing exotic and alluring melodies. It's skill that can be used throughout the range - listen to Kunia Dalam Samaran to hear how she jumps effortlessly between registers- and can be done so at incredible speeds.
Siti Nurhaliza 's lower range is heavy and dark, with good dynamics and is easily assessed. The midrange is versatile, being able to be used with a soft timbre that has a breathy, light quality to it- see My Heart Will Go On, below- or one that has a more solid, rounded tone, that matches the weightiness of the upper range.
The belting range is heavy, relatively so even when mixed to reach the higher fifth octave notes. She has excellent control over it, always using it with great vocal and breath support. The result is a healthy and resonant tone that sounds good with or without her controlled vibrato.
The head voice is thick and bright, and can used either with a lighter pop inflection, or with a dramatic operatic tone.
Vocal Negatives: Siti Nurhaliza can be prone to copying the vocal styling of western singers which diminishes the impressiveness and magic of the voice somewhat.
