I feel like that part was made for her lol

But if she had to actually suck helium in the show, we'd witness the scariest voice ever: Cheno on helium.

It's probably not even close to being the highest, but I saw Cheno in concert on PBS late last night...and the song "Girl in 14G" made me cringe in awe. I shuddered at the end when she goes nuts skipping back and forth between "13, 15 and 14 G".

Yeah--as I said Ty Taylor is definatly Cifying in the first song, but during flying home he hits a high D and it def sounds like full voice.

Any note above Christine's top E in POTO should only be audible to dogs and bats.

The CHARLOTTE SWEET CD is available through amazon.com.

The original cast included Merle Louise, Michael McCormick and Jeff Keller, among others.

correection: Amneris in the opera AIDA does not sing an F above high C. She is a mezzo in the opera, and no one writes those kind of notes for sopranos, let alone mezzos.

I hear you guys on the Glitter and be Gay - pretty impressive. Harolyn Blackwell shattered a few glasses in Candide a few years back. Not a memorable production, but there was some good singing.

I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

I listened to a clip of Cheno singing "Glitter and Be Gay." EXTREMELY impressive, she had to have hit some F's and E's in that.

What's the last note in Privilege to Pee? Whatever it is, both Nancy Opel and Carolee Carmello belted it out of the park.

That song is frickin awesome. The belt notes are G's...amazing! And the last note is sung in "head" instead of the mix/belt they use before. The last note is a high C.

Mariah Carey's whistle tones :)

p.s. Half of this high singing is officially mixed voiced, but its making the voice have the intensity and power of the belt that gets me.

I vote that if it sounds like a belt, it's a belt. I know Sutton is mixing and stuff, but...seriously...she mixes so far forward and up that it just is amazing to me.

What about Linda Eder's "Man of La Mancha?" During her little aria thing in the middle, doesn't she go pretty high?

What about Gilbert & Sullivan material-how high does that stuff go? (I'm thiking of "They Call me Little Buttercup" and "Poor Wandering One")

Linda hits an F above the staff.

"Poor Wandring One" if done in the original key, has an E flat above high c in the obligato near the end.

The Linda Ronstadt version put a key change in the middle of the song, so she was not hitting the origianl notes at the end.

Oh yeah--Linda does do that--she's crazy!
