    Wow. What a voice and what a song. Both beautiful. Open throated, relaxed, free, and easy. No veins popping out on the side of her neck like you see with lots of other singers.

    WHAT a beautiful & "authentically her own" voice - wonderfully natural, beautifully cultivated. Surprised her name didn't also bring up the STUNNING recording of Poulenc's Gloria (really sublime & one of my favorites this time of year - - hearing it, I had to hear more of her!) Brava!

    What I love about Lauren is that she totally has her own individual sound. So many of my generation Xers wanted to sound like Kathleen Battle or Leontyne Price. Now there is enough time and distance and a larger pool of Singers/Influencers to draw from so that younger Millenials can create their own unique Voice.

      I mean, I'd kill to sound like Leontyne Price or Kathleen Battle, but short of a genie in a bottle, it's just not gonna happen for most of us 😅 better to cultivate what you have.

    This "person" has no talent, no musicality, no intelligence. The only reason why they let her sing, and win, is because she is black; so, this is a prime example of reverse racism. Black "people" whine and complain about racism, but they are the first to spew hate. This individual is homophobic and transphobic. How dares she.

      @wallis.giunta 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m sorry, Raqueline, but you’re just plain wrong. Lauren is a world-class artist (I have performed alongside her) and is more than deserving of every bit of recognition she receives. Your racist and hateful comment speaks of your own fear and negativity. Lauren is a true artist who brings light and love into the world.

    • @wallis.giunta
      @wallis.giunta 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Reading your comment again, it’s pretty clear what you’re aiming for: Triggering outrage and engaging a dialogue that no side can win. I’m just going to keep on loving Lauren and standing up for her, and all my Black colleagues. That’s what actually matters.

    Oh dear. Pretty lady, probably a fine voice in there, no support, middle is already a slight wobble problem. Loud, high, resonant yahoos do not make fine singing. I guess she is gone now? This was 5 years ago.

      @@RyanFrenkrealme Thanks, but I was referring mostly to the way she sings and the fact that it won't last long. I don' t doubt that she is still getting some engagements; she is pretty and she is black. I do wish her luck. Trust me, unless she really learns some things, it will be gone soon.

      @josephcollins6033 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RyanFrenkrealme Buddy, before you spar with me you want to work on your reading skills and touch on the grammar as well. I said that she had a fine voice; technique is not about native (talent?) abilities and is often the result of bad teaching. I complimented her. The racist thing is comical now, used by idiots who do not observe and think. My opinions are based on quite a few things I won't get into here; I know about the voice and singing. You sound like a typical opera queen which always means being a "buff". Enjoy your recordings and realize that your listening skills and scientific knowledge of the human voice (and how it is used for a great art ) are slim to non-existent.

    Top notes are not in good place! Unstable and at times shrieky (Violetta). Needs to be corrected. Italian enunciation is poor. Agility is not top-notch either ... However, the colour of the voice is magnificent. Not ready yet.
