I'm pretty sure that music appreciation is a subjective matter. Or else this thread would have been two posts long. One question and one answer.

Yes. Interesting. :biggrin: Watched a few of them...

I felt smart knowing Rashida Jones was the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton. I try to keep up on my pop culture...but the Maya Rudolph info never reached me. Hmmmph.

Huh. Minnie Riperton is Maya Rudolph's mother. The things you learn...

She must be on some huge publicity blitz. I saw this image yesterday connected to an interview with her:

You've got PM! :biggrin:

Read the story to which I linked...look at my avatar...and I think you can figure out that I agree with you on that one, Dick! :biggrin: :thumbsup: Sam: I had that same revelation a couple of years ago when I heard this particular duet: She IS the real deal.

Sarah McLachlan's rendition of Randy Newman's When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 is one of my all-time favorites, Dick. No bells and whistles. Just her pure voice which drives the emotion of the song.

Don't miss out on Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Jeffery! Hers is the definitive version of Silent Night (Stille Nacht)! :biggrin: She first recorded it in 1910. It stayed in the RCA Victor catalog until she reissued a second recording in the mid-1920s.

I'm not sure if this i a generational thing (it probably is, since the older I get the more issues I have with stuff like this)...but those kind of vocal acrobatics just aren't listenable for me. Ariana has a lovely voice and I'm sure she can hit all the notes...but those forced vocal...

Totally didn't make that connection.

I never would have attached "63" to the woman in that picture...

I made this post five years ago in this thread...and it's nice to know things haven't changed (for me).

Jay: If you include Yoko...don't forget Linda McCartney. :D

Glad to see this thread resurrected. Amazed at one omission. Most beautiful female voice = Lea Salonga. She has the voice of an angel. I am a HUGE Diana Krall fan. She is one terrific jazz singer/entertainer. But as far as pure voices go, Lea is the one! :D
