Simply adore her. She knows she can "SANG!" Another lovely Legendary Queen that is so underrated. I don't know if you have reacted to her and Will Downing "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This," if you haven't please check it out. It's a very lovely song and they make it so special. Thank you for your reactions.
Kim Burrell can definitely sing, I'm not saying she can't, but she has never moved me or impressed me. Her improvisations prove that she has a great musical ear but her style doesn't move me. I'd like her to just sing sustained notes more often and stop ascending the scale and descending the scale over and over again on every song. Nasty personality aside, her thin tone is nothing special and she always sounds like she needs to clear her throat. She's not even in the top 20 best Gospel voices in my opinion.
@@MostlyVintageVoices I have had to adjust to her tone over the years. I use to hate the sound of her voice. I'm gonna rub alot of people the wrong way with this. But alot of her runs start out the same and end the same.
It was a chromatic ascending scale to the tonic if I’m not mistaken. Most people have a challenging time with that scale because it’s half steps the entire way.
I'm sorry, but I never really cared for Rachelle's singing. She has some beautiful moments, but I find that all her vocal acrobatics and squeaks and squawks to be annoying. And the melody of the song gets lost in the midst of all that. I know some people are impressed with her singing, but I'm not one of them. A riff and run here and there is fine, but when you overdo them, they become annoying. Sorry.
I can understand what you mean by that. I think that’s the Jazz in her that comes out. She incorporates a lot of Jazz into her music because that’s just what she likes and who she is as an artist. She doesn’t stick to one genre.
@New Man...Rachelle Ferrell is one of the most underrated voices of all time...dont be sorry...its your opinion in which you are entitled. It is I that is sorry that you are not touched by her magic. But, I understand where you are coming from...but trust me...NOTHING gets missed with her singing cause she leaves her heart on the record.
New Man You're entitled to your own preferences and dislikes. She's a jazz singer and she was gifted with her voice by TMH . So she uses all of her vocal gifts,just like Patti LaBelle. If you don't like her singing style, you can not watch her videos. Sorry.
