shit...aight...one more try:

what does "low singing rang" mean? and are there any non-black females who sing in this range?

I'm guessing he means those that sing in a "lower register" although I could be mistaken.

As to the second part of your question, Dusty Springfield or Rosemary Clooney might qualify.

I'm confused. Is the question who can hit very low notes well, or who has a poor range?

I think it's supposed to be the former. I think most people would associate "low" with the former and "small" or "narrow" with the latter.

OK

hmmm In that case, let's see...

Maybe latter-day Joni Mitchell (those ciagarettes have made their mark)
Many of the others I can think of have been named.

Beyoncé isn't a gr8 singer. She has a gr8 voice. But she's not a gr8 singer.

I'd say Keyshia Cole.
India.Arie (her low register is eek )

Beyonce can NOT sing that great... she is average... i hear so many girls sing like that... and her voice is annoying... and now she just hollers
