She is not a mezzo soprano. She is just a lower soprano.

Of course, her ease is exceptional despite her age. Also, her soft register is one of the most beautiful soft registers I've ever heard from a singer. She has such an angelic and a very classy tone and enunciation.

I saw Regine live at a mall in the Philippines once. Her power was terrifying...it felt like the mall was having an earthquake for her full 2-hour set. In a good way lol.

I also believe that Xtina's voice can reach and sustain higher notes with vibrato if only she mixed more. But the real issue here is the mixing and not the lack of support. She's actually supporting enough. Sometimes, even too much because she's already pushing her chest voice/chest-dominant mix. I think the point of the video is she has to mix more than Regine and Charice did just to hit the same notes with ease. So it's pretty clear that she's not the light voiced Soprano with a high tessitura like Ariana as what they claim her to be. I believe that the pulling out of the larynx is due to pushing her chesty mix outside her comfort zone. She's actually supporting enough and even too much. Her voice is just naturally not that high. If she mixes more and changes her placement, I believe that she will be able to sustain the upperbelts with more ease. I also think that her low notes were underdeveloped during her 20's and 30's due to stylistic choices and lack of training, but I really believe that her tessitura is really not that high. There are just a lot of factors that made it sound lighter than it is. Her natural voice actually reminds me a lot of my deep voiced sister. They have like an identical timbre.

I also believe that habitually speaking in a high pitched false voice affected her lower range too. Because I believe that her low notes can still be fuller, louder, and darker if only she used a proper technique.

she stylistically lowers her larynx too as you can see in the part 2 of the video to further add thickness and weight to her voice, but her voice in neutral larynx is still somehow full. not as light as what they always say it is.

Actually even before E5, there is already a bit of mixing for women's voices. I think the point of this video is that if Xtina was truly a high and light Soprano like what these so-called youtube vocal critics are claiming then she wouldn't have a hard time sustaining the upperbelts without mixing that much just like how Regine, Charice, and even Jessica Simpson (who has a worse technique than Xtina) did it. Xtina is not a stranger to the technique of supporting too as you can see in her middle range so it's definite that her voice is not as light and as high as what other people claim it to be. By just judging her chest timbre and tessitura in a neutral larynx, her voice is definitely fuller, darker, and heavier than Regine's, Charice', and Ariana's. So it's really impossible for her to be the lightest and the highest Soprano like what they claim.

Misinformation. Some women like Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey actually belts (pulling up chest voice) above E5.

I don't think she was intentionally trying to be raspy tho during her debut. She was growling, yes, but obviously she was trying to sound smooth in songs like "Reflection" and "Genie In A Bottle". It's just that her larynx really close because there was no enough supporting (considering the fact that she was so skinny and almost muscles at all) and also because she wasn't mixing the notes that are obviously outside the natural tessitura of her chest voice already. In "Stripped" era, the rasp was intentional and her techniques have changed too. She started opening her mouth wider, dropping her jaw and supporting more since she gained enough muscle mass to support her diaphragm in lifting her voice. That's why in "Stripped" era, you would hear her belts more open but raspier too. But during her debut era, it really was just a technical issue that is definitely not stylistic. The way she sung "I Turn To You" and "Reflection" with an overraised larynx in her live performances was obviously not a stylistic choice. Her tessitura is really not as high as what other people claim.

​@@johnharrison3281is she soprano or mezzo soprano?

@@samuele.duclosel2811 I'm not sure if she's a high Mezzo with underdeveloped techniques in the upper and lower range or if she's a Soprano with a lower tessitura & some Mezzo facilities. But she's clearly not a high & light Soprano like Regine, Charice, or Ariana.

nah you've been around long enough to know that he is a trans man and that that is not his name be fr
