Singers who can belt super HIGH!!! — Page 4

I'm glad someone finally mentioned Mandy Gonzalez, but what about Marcy Harriell? Her "Woman Is The n* Of The World" in Lennon was INSANE.

Also, Hugh Panaro hits a C somewhere in "Tunnel Of Love" in Side Show.

Carolee and Nancy Opel.

I always thought Sherie was a mixer more than a belter, but there's a note in "Love is My Legs" that she certainly belts and always makes me go "...wow."

Lisa Howards fakes it well too. There's no break between her chest and head voice, it's insane.

Raul has an amazing belt.

i think its been said...rachel york. watch the BWW video with jonathan pryce and you'll hear rachel sing too! its awesome!!

Yep, but those are your favorites, m'dear. Ok... I'll add Carmello to my list too. :)

Jason Danieley .

Floyd Collins?

That high C at the end of The Riddle?
Healthy, supported, full voiced. Perfection.

Also, all those extremely high options at the end of "Big Black Man" in Monty are him.

And I think Eden is not so much a belter, but an extremely talented mixer. That's why her voice seems to be endless. I think mixing is the new belt. But the trick is to fool the crowd and make it sound like belting.

Shoshana is also an insane mixer. Carollee belts, Patti belts (sometimes - Evita, Anything Goes) LaChanze, Mary Testa (the second coming of Merman), Lansbury in Gypsy and especially in Anyone Can Whistle.

These new mixers aren't as impressive as the older, classic belters like Garland, Minelli, Merman, etc... but ah well.

By the way, Billy Porter's a mixer too.

Patti LuPone blows everybody away!

Which singers, male or female, can sustain the longest notes, belted or otherwise? I've heard a Linda Eder and Davis Gaines manage to hold on to a really long note? Others? thanks for the info. Roman in Austin, Texas...... T.O.P.L.F.

Aw, I LOVE Carolee on the JH concept album. She was the only reason I bought it (and then I fell in love with it for other reasons). Also, she has KILLED me more than once with "I Have Found" on Infinite Joy. I just die. Seeing her live is the most nervewracking thing ever, I always feel like I'll have a heart attack from how amazing she is.

"Anytime" is probably my favorite Finn song and Carolee singing it is... absolutely the most beautiful thing ever. It never fails to move me, it's so amazing. Such a powerful song, great choice to sing, Andrew.

Going back to what Jon said on the first page of posts, I was also disappointed with Beth McVey's performance as Pennywise. I much preferred Nancy Opel's high belt in "Privelege to Pee."
