    Pat Benatar is a powerhouse vocalist in a petite frame. She had a lot of great songs in the 80's such as "Heartbreaker", "We Live For Love", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", Fire & Ice", "Love Is A Battlefield", "We Belong", "Invincible", "All Fired Up", "Treat Me Right", "Promises In The Dark" etc.

      @@joefaller4525 That's a very nice song. I like that, Promises.., and Hell Is For Children. The way she hits "Hell" with such passion and conviction is a bit scary, like she's possessed by the ghost of an angry betrayed child.

      I've been told Opera also trains one in emotive singing (like the anger expressed in "Fire and Ice" or "Hell is for Children") and stage presence. Both are needed for Opera to work, and evidenced in her singing and concert performances.

    When I was a kid in 1980, thought she was pretty good so bought her 2cnd record Crimes Of Passion and was really impressed every song on the record was good, no filler, and was really surprised to find her beautifully done cover of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Kate was sacred ground for me, but Pat's cover is so beautifully done, I really fell in love with her first 5 records, the 5th of which is a live record. She's an enormous talent!, her husband and collaborator Neil Giraldo is a great guitar player too!.

  • @mjpottertx

    The rocker edge…..from her playing Zephyr in Harry Chapin’s rock opera “The Zinger”. It ran a month or so, but Pat sang Zephyr for about 15 years. Along with Ann Wilson, one of the best female rock singers EVER.

    She didn't just do some classical singing. She was trained as an opera singer. Look for her vintage videos - her cover of "Crying, (live)" the True Love album, the lullaby she recorded for charity, etc. Her voice is stellar.

    You mentioned at one point you weren't sure if something she did (a lean) was intentional. I'm no singer let alone coach, but am pretty sure *everything* she did was intentional. She was very much like Floor...just a lot earlier. From what I've read, her mom was a coloratura soprano and Pat was indeed following in those footsteps for quite a while. Real training there...

    @kenhall1513 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Listen to her work on the two earlier albums, In the Heat of the Night and Crimes of Passion. "We Live For Love" on In the Heat of the Night is an excellent example of her pure high soprano on those early albums. I feel you can hear the toll the 'rock voice' took on that high range over the years (and yet her work continued to be so amazing!) in how the emphasis moved to the range you hear on "Shadows of the Night". Also listen to "Wuthering Heights" on the Crimes of Passion album -- beautiful bell tone on the high notes in the almost a capella beginning of the song (so good!), and running up and down the range so effortlessly. She was one of the first performers I just couldn't wait for more from.

    She’s a very well trained singer. As a kid- learning from singing with records - I was not at all a rock singer but using her songs as guides to go into high notes was a goal as I was solidly an alto. I still love to do some Pat Benatar karaoke when no one’s home. There’s a LOT more growl in her voice here than on her records - but it’s all good technique because she can pull right out of that and sing clear and clean. Listen to her cover of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights on the Crimes of Passion album which really shows her versatility. Without great training (in Opera!) no way would she be singing so well at 70. Love her so so much! ❤️‍🔥
