Who Sang The "Doll Song" High A-Flat Best? (Ab6) 

This is what they're saying: «Everything that sings and sounds And sighs, in its turn, Moves her heart, which trembles with love!»

The first one. Her staccato was amazing. They can all hit the high note but they didn’t all do the staccato.

Maria Aleida's staccato is unreal, so she steals the show for me.

Sabine said: 🥚 🥚 👁👄👁

Can we just agree that whoever told Audrey Lena to be ‘sexy’ should never direct or choreograph anything again to me it was just weird and unnatural even her stance at the beginning made me feel awkward

As an alto, this video terrifies me

The last women’s choreography was clever in adding the small squats to the high notes because squatting makes it easier to sing high notes.

2:09 she sounded like a violin

1:06 the guy in the back is how I look when my life is falling apart

me when i see a spider

The first one, Maria was my personal favorite.

3:00 WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT PLEASE SISTER STOP

The dudes in the back at 0:57-1:13 are my last two brain cells during a test

*Maria and Rachele* were the best for different reasons: Maria (The first lady, utilized staccato unbelievably well). Rachele (The last lady) on the other hand utilized Legato incredibly; it might appear to be easier but making sure that every note is placed in such a flowing manner is actually difficult!

We just gonna ignore the fact that Sabine is wearing the wig from Mars Attacks?

0:29 I didn't know Quicksilver could play the harp

1:52 I guess Elsa is making a different kind of snow now

Maria Aleida by far: her staccato was completely flawless ❤️

2:51 never knew lady gaga could sing like that

3:07 my dog when I stand on his tail

I'm french and i just realised that this song is in french 😐

These vids just kind of make me sad because I know I’ll never be able to hit these notes myself

What my choir director expects of us in warmups

Let's be honest, none of us typed this into our search bars.

4:04 you can hear their goosebumps

Can we disqualify the ones who avoided the staccato?

3:49 Damnnn I didn't know Princess Bubblegum could sing opera

1:03 has got it. Her technique is exactly right.

I’ll take that cute pianist in the practice room

your channel is addictive

1:08, for a second there I thought that was Trisha Paytas

1:30 imagine sustaining an Ab6

My kettle sounds a bit different today

No one: The ghost in my room: 3:16

rachele gilmore will forever steal the show for me. her resound in the space she’s provided just- mmm! literally the best high note i’ve ever heard

I can't believe no one is saying Karola Agay at 1:35! She has such a mastery of dyanics. The soft breathy tone she starts with opens up into a beautiful squillo over the first legato phrase - the volume of which is extremely even, immensely difficult across such a large range of pitches. Then she disguises her breathing so cleverly, breaking it into four parts - two larger breaths at 1:42 and 1:45, and two smaller breaths (just barely audible!) between them - so that she's able to INSTANTLY phrase from her sustained legato at 1:46 into her magnificent stacatto at 1:48, adding an additional high flourish on the ascent! Contrast it against Maria's similarly excellent stacatto at 0:33 - Maria's breath is so well disguised, but Karola sings the phrase completely uninterrupted. An immense talent.

Pretty much everyone killed the note itself, but overall the best for me were 1. Maria Aleida 2. Rachele Gilmore 3. Kelly Curtin

Opera is so pretty to me.

My personal favorite is MARIA ALEIDA because she has the most staccato🙂😇

This reminds me of something my choir director once said directed at the soprano section, " Just because you *can* hit a note... doesn't mean you *should* .."

Maria Aleida is phenomenal! It's a shame she's not more famous. (Although she's probably making bank singing with Andrea Bocelli, so it's possibly her choice.)

Someone take those pointe shoes away from Svetlana before she hurts herself

María Aleida, her staccato is a dream. Perfect.

1:05 is me at the disco

Wow this is unbelievable Maria and Christina J were my favorites but I love the charisma in some of the others

Maria Aleida 0:20 Svetlana Feodulova 0:39 Kelly Curtin 0:56 Christina Johnston 1:16 Karola Agay 1:34 Sabine Devieilhe 1:51 Holly Flack 2:13 Gabriella Will 2:32 Audrey Luna 2:51 Christina Poulitsi 3:09 Serena Eduljee 3:29 Rachele Gilmore 3:45

Okay, I’m not a singer but I am a dancer. Let me tell you that I almost cRIED after seeing the second girl not getting all the way onto her platforms 💀💀💀

I'm a low alto bordering on tenor. I'm highly disturbed

The first woman was really good. They're all really good.

3:02 why he rubbin himself tho

Maria Aleida. I could listen to her singing this over and over and be so excited 🙌🏻

0:39 svetlana feodulova gets extra credit for going on pointe like that's just nuts

2:52 Something’s different here...

Maria Aleida gives one of the best performances, though I could listen to Rachele Gilmore all day. Aleida also goes up for the last note instead of down, which is almost unimaginable. Christina Johnson, however, is the only one here who managed a vibrato on that high note - kudos for that.

I love Rachele Gilmore’s performance. She was amazing.

As a basso profundo, I'm doubting we belong to the same species

2:10 PYTHON JAW ACTIVATED

That last one wow

Maria Aleida for sure! Her staccato and pitch are spot on! She is incredibly talented! 😍😭

The last lady was a replacement with only one hour to get ready. Search Rachele Gilmore for the whole performance. It's excellent under the circumstances.

00:30 I just realized the dude playing the harp looks like Quick silver omfgejejd

First and last but the last feels and sounds very natural and smooth

I'm amazed no one else gave this hands down to Karola Agai, she's the only one that had the lightness and airiness, and was able to be delicate enough with that high staccato arpeggiation at the end, because she's the only one who didn't have to strain for those notes. Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful Soprano I'd never heard before

Rachele Gilmore takes the prize for brilliance and grace under the intense pressure of a last minute Met debut!

sabine may have had a wack hairline but i just absolutely love how she added form and shape to her singing. holly flack as well! her voice was strong and she carried that Ab6 extremely well

maria wins me with the staccato. i like rachels control though

Maria made that look and sound effortless!!

Some sopranos wouldn't even dare to try this 😂😂

0:21 literally just did this to replay her part.

1:53 when you do that little stretch thing in the morning and you extend your arms then your ass and legs shake like crazy and you yawn really loud

Sad that Natalie Dessay wasn’t included in this. Her rendition is my favorite opera performance of all time.

Maria Aleida, a thousand times. Though Rachel Gilmore was very good...up until that squawk combined with plie at the end.

2:34 ...Yes, Hi, I’ll take him and his cake. Please & Thank You.

What in the name of Davy Jones is going on at 2:50

Alternate title: Who has the best jump scare scream?

Rachele's performance is one of the most amazing things i've ever heard in my entire life. she will forever give me chills every time i hear her. when you know the background to that recording, that just makes it even more perfect.

2:01 is Mars Attack 😂😂

1:52 *gworl* i think your wig is a little high. that hairline is skyrocketing

Rachel Gilmore blows me out of the water every time. Especially when you know the story behind that performance. I can't imagine the nerves and excitement...and then to blow it out of the water like that. It just gives me goosebumps every time I watch that performance. I go back to it again and again.

I went to go see this opera in person a few months ago and I sat in one of the front rows and let me just say that it's one thing to listen to this online and compare everyone to each other, but actually seeing it live and being in such a close range to them is such a mind blowing experience. It's easy to judge everyone in this video, but they all deserve some major respect for even being ABLE to do that with their voice. Man, it's amazing what people can do to their bodies

Maria’s stacatto won me over!

this is SO DEPRESSING as a soprano who can only reach a top D lol

Thank for this video!!! I was happy to hear it!!!

To be honest their voice is higher than my chances graduating this year.

Oh dear Lord, what production was Audrey Luna in?

Maria Aleida's was held for just longer enough to be able to really appreciate the clarity of the note. I'm aspiring to that clarity and breath support of that note. It's heavenly.

1:17 Bendelacreme when she gets older

Maria and Rachele were definitely my favorites. Maria's staccato is so flawless, and while Rachele didn't really have much of a staccato, her legato was so smooth so i'll give her that.

Maria is best with those flawless staccatos. While Christina was far from the best, I have to say I was impressed by the vibrato on her Ab6

The first one hands down. So crisp in her runs and sang it so perfectly and clearly without effort.

Wow. Rachele at the end, blew me away. She is in the stratosphere. You can hear the audience reaction well into her hitting that note.

why is quicksliver playing the harp?

The first lady was my favourite, her staccato's were very satisfying

I can’t wait till I learn the notes to this and be able to sing it🖤👏🏻

2:08 omgggg the transition is sooo smooth and on pitch my ears💖

WE NEED DIANA DAMRAU TO DO THIS ASAP

My favourite was Sabine, hers sounded so pretty and delicate, which is how I imagine a ‘doll song’ to sound.

I just broke the e string on my guitar trying to bend to that damn Ab6...

I sang this on stage one time and it brought back such nostalgia ahhh!!

Maria Aleida. Memorable, her notes were clean, the staccato was so flawless! She resembled a doll too!
