@@jaysonwright1817 Listen again. That was not Cindy carrying the top note at all. That was Terry all the way through to the G5 on "We Can Make It Right". In fact , it was always Terry until Amanda came in and she did it and then it went back to Dawn when she returned.

[@jaysonwright1817]

Calvin375 I know the musicians that play for the group back in the day. And Terry has not been able to hit a clear G5. If you listen to other live performances, she’s very winded and is taking the melody. Terry is honestly an alto but can slightly sing 2nd soporano.

[@Calvin375]

@@jaysonwright1817 I've seen her sing that G5 in concert and I also know exactly what her voice sounds like. Terry is the one on the top on this song and many others. She is not slightly anything, but a lyric soprano. Apparently, you have never seen her live and you are not familiar with her specific vocal fach/ classification. They have many videos on her where she's singing soprano in full voice as well as in her mix/head voice. She is the only one in the group that can sing a F6-G6 without a disconnect in her range. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpS1emmJnJWCesk

Goosebumps Goosebumps! Holy Christ, how can they be that good?

[@janepatton8100]

You're right Holy Christ... The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. . God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consummation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming 😊... Thanks for taking the time to read this comment. May God bless you with all things necessary for life and goodness. God Bless!
