She has a perfect staccato teqhnicue!! Also,she's singing in the 6th octave effortlessly!!!

[@NatsuDragn33I]

Holy- How can a voice do that?!?!? I would give anything just to be able to whistle like that and she SINGS like that? Er, sang? I dunno, I'm stunned.

[@bubsd487]

Its weird because she can sing in the 6th octave effortlessly

[@bleuify]

the worst part about it is that the technique she’s using on her voice to sound like that is a technique used by violin players to produce shorter notes

[@Pupkiwi]

She is doing it all in head voice no whistle register

[@gayhomelesswithpinknails4424]

Droitzel Glaedr isn't whistle, is head voice!

[@strangeworld907]

No doubt,She can ultimately slay the Mozart Queen of the Night High notes And She looks like a classically trained singer.

[@Kleeroose]

How did it even go down in history without getting enough attention is a mystery for me

[@projetor.m.2353]

I constantly come back here to revisit this amazing performance, and I'm always struck by it. It's almost like magic.

[@zackparsons3937]

Gershwin's sister said "her voice is a miracle I only wish my brothers had lived to hear her sing their songs".

[@jillsalkin7389]

She's an astounding singer!

[@blckxgrey]

she has an amazing vocal controls

[@SKMRify]

Brilliant.

[@zeissfan06]

Fabulous, isn't she? However, in one bootleg (though the sound quality is not the best as it was recorded using handheld cassette recorder during her concert in the mid-80's), she sounds so much better than this ;)

[@SKMRify]

Okay.

[@strandedtraveller1038]

Maureen is one of those rare talents who make people go "Is she a human musical instrument?" as soon as she starts singing. I feel like if she was trained to sing opera she would definitely have become one of the best coloratura sopranos in the field.

[@SKMRify]

Walter Velvet Gregson: Interesting comment, as she's one of the closest women in vocal quality to the great Ingeborg Hallstein. Another would be Debelah Morgan.

Singing the picc solo? And I barely played it in high school!

Lyrics Let the drums roll out Let the trumpets call While the people shout "Strike up the band!" Let the cymbals ring Callin' one and all While the saxes swing Strike up the band There is work to be done, to be done There are songs to be sung, to be sung Hey, you son-of-a-, son-of-a-gun Here's a plan Come along, yea a bow Get it on, let's go Hey, leader, say, leader Hey, leader, strike up the band!

Can she sing the diva dance

She's probably one of the few who could actually do it justice. Even Dimash doesn't tackle the very difficult staccato run down the scale.

She is better than Justin Bieber

Why have I never heard of her. Amazing

[@tatystar5724]

I ask myself the same, only discovered her some months ago. Think about: for a person who recorded "Poseidon" on 70`s, come to what she`s doing on this video...

[@juliusnepos6013]

She has a hit here which is "A very special love"

[@somestevenuniverse]

honestly I'm just hear to find who has the highest whistle register

[@SKMRify]

She's modifying her head voice to imitate the piccolo, so it's not actually a disconnected 'whistle' register.
