Add video titles in case they break again. Correct link format.

Sep 7, 2021 at 14:25 comment added Andy Bonner @user1387866 Now that I've actually clicked through to the video, I'll add that those definitions are strongly associated with an operatic context, and might not have direct parallels in a pop context that relies on microphones. Perhaps another related question would be, "Is there a term that isn't so bound to opera, applicable in a broader musical context, for an unusually low female vocal range?" (And my guess is it doesn't get any more specific than "contralto." Or, flippant answer: Yeah, "Cher.")
Sep 7, 2021 at 14:19 comment added Andy Bonner One of the concerns is: if the point is "let's figure out the vocal range of this one particular person," that's not of great general usefulness; it amounts to a vocal audition. If the question were "help define these vocal categories, since these brief descriptions don't fully explain them," that's useful. But if it continues, "... by giving video examples of each," then it's a question just asking for lists, which are not terribly helpful. Anyway, I upvoted because, heck, I don't have a good working definition of lyric vs coloratura etc., so that's worth elaborating on.

Sep 7, 2021 at 13:36 comment added user1387866 @Arsak Oh, please feel free to rephrase my question in whatever smart terms you like before posting an answer.
Sep 7, 2021 at 12:56 comment added Arsak @Tetsujin Do you think asking a more general question might be more useful, e.g. "How to differentiate between [the three mentioned] subtypes of contralto?", and using the singer in question as an example?
Sep 7, 2021 at 10:50 comment added Tetsujin To me, it's unnecessary pigeon-holing, like the current obsession with "what genre is this?" type questions - it's like asking if a band is techno or garage, thrash or death metal… the distinction isn't important enough for me to really care.

Sep 7, 2021 at 8:52 comment added Tetsujin One of the reasons to downvote is that a question could be deemed "not useful", which category, personally, I see this as falling right into. How many future searchers are going to find this by title or content & need to know the same answer? It doesn't even mention the artist.

Sep 7, 2021 at 7:25 comment added Tim Far too often, dvs are given with the dver knowing the safety anonymity affords. That or they can't string a sentence together - or can't be bothered. The more effort an OP puts into their question, the less chance there will be for a dv. Also pigeon-holing one individual - at a young age - is not going to be helpful to many folk. Contalto may suffice.
