Gladys Knight Vanessa Williams Mary Wells Aaliyah Gloria Estefan Just to name a few....  Aaliyah? Yes.. 
She didn't have that much of a range... And she knew that... I liked her voice that way..... | |

She didn't have that much of a range... And she knew that... I liked her voice that way..... Good list of women who know when enough is enough. Add Donna Summer. Power voice but never oversang. I would have to say Patti is the worst offender and she inspiried Christina and Mariah. | |

 aaaaaoooooAAAAAaaaaahhhhhEEEEa
aAaaaaa(cough cough) Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!!.....(long pause).....Meeeee!!!!!
That's funny. 
This is old territory, but I get the impression that when people use that term it's an attempt to bag on... a) Those that can "technically sing". b) And have control over their voice to the point that they can musically do things with it (i.e. ad lib). For classic example of effortlessly understated vocal elegance, check the execution of the verses and ad libs during Who's Zoomin' Who? and Jump To It (easy to find tunes from The Queen I was just listening to) who at almost 30 years into her career could still show the diva wannabes how it's done. The vocals just ooze out like butter. I would apply the term to those who don't have the discipline to clearly establish the melody of a song before goin' off. tA  Tribal Disorder

Damn near all these female R&B singers of the last 10 years. They sound like they are trying to overdo it and compete at "Amateur Night At The Apollo". Andy is a four letter word. | |
