Like Susan Boyle- when some women open their mouths to sing, angels come out. I try to sing in my high octave when I can, to keep that part of my voice open, but it is the most challenging range- yet is the sound that is the true sign of a gifted singer.
Charlotte Church was 10 when she made her first best selling record, and she sang like an angel. Truly, like a little angel.
Yet, for me, I always find it so fufilling, being the rock lover I am as well, when an operatic, Broadway voice translates into rock and roll.
I mean, pipes are pipes, and these girls have got 'em.
**And I cannot leave this gem out, either.**
