I feel like she's singing just for me. And that she really loves me. Then the song ended and so did the fantasy and I remembered that I needed to take out the trash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0acCbkzjEjA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmLpHey81I0 The Truth is like Poetry.

All fantastic and original voices and talents. Except for Julie Andrews, though, they would be in my personal B group, more as character and attitude than total versatility and range. Julie is an A for sure. Thanks for bringing her up. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I like both of them very much. Alison, especially, if she explores the full range of her potential rather than almost all bluegrass/country/folk someday, she might become legendary. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Ok, I had never heard of her. If you'll excuse my saying so, I think.she needs a better sound designer and set list. I listened to 5 by her. Sunny, Shadow of your Smile, Lala Love, Love For Sale, and Shop (something-four letters)(can't find it again). She has nice round tones, and is underpowering her chest voice, singing easy. But the orchestrations are overpowering and not matched to her tone. Then I found Masquerade. Same problem going in, then she builds to some truly worthy vocals, especially her higher, head-voice range. Worth a listen. So I can see what you like there. https://youtu.be/eLReSs64-v0 Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I'm not really an outlier here as I enjoy many of same singers, but I will add that I can enjoy some people who practically do a whole song singing one note. Like Rihanna's "Desperado", which I was noticing the other day. She does enough with the word inflection/tone and the rhythm keep me interested. Plus a sultry voice to my ear doesn't hurt. (yes there is some autotune at times) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7awq_VEdZzk Interestingly, only a few opera singers (to my knowledge) can switch to a suitable voice for other genres, even though by any standard they are highly skilled and precise. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Great minds think alike! I could listen to Alison Kraus all day. However, I'm not sure she would cross over to other types of music well. She is perfect for Bluegrass and softer country music. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ul3fPdeGYw Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
