LET GET READY TO SOPRANOOOOOOO!!!
by horne_jeffrey | created - 16 Dec 2013 | updated - 13 Jan 2014 | PublicLET GET READY TO SOPRANOOOOOOO!!!est form of singing where female performers hit the highest note while singing their songs. Key words to describe soparanos are whistle register, songbird, four octave, and five octave. To be a soprano, singers vocal range must reach at least four octaves, if I am not mistaken. Female sopranos can be compared to opera singers since they hold their notes for long period of time. I hope you.enjoyed my title of this column, which is designed to make people laugh. I thought the guy who always says let's get ready to rumble was a soprano without music, lol.

Probably the best singer of all time. There will be none like Whitney Houston. I enjoyed most to all of her songs. She was well known for her four octave vocal range. Some may say Mariah Carey slightly sing better than her. I am a huge fan of both ladies that if some say Carey out sang Huston, I wouldn't blame them. RIP Queen of Pop and Gospel.

The list won't be the same without the Queen of Soul, Mrs Aretha Franklin. If it wasn't for her, there would be no Carey, Houston, Aguilera, or J Bilge. One of the most gifted singers of all time.

Similar to Aretha, if it wasn't for Patti LaBelle, there wouldn't be no Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Rihanna, or Brandy. My favorite song is probably someone to love you baby and I love you I need you.

Before Mariah Carey, she was known as the original songbird due to her five octave vocal ability. She was one of a kind singer. While Minnie Riperton is well-known for her loving you hit, my personal favorite song of hers is Back downory Lane. RIP original songbird soprano.
My favorite song from this gifted soprano singer is Free, which is an all time favorite of mine.
