    Michel’le is a great example to never judge a book by its cover. It’s amazing how the body works because you wouldn’t expect someone who talks so high to be able to sing the way she does. It’s absolutely remarkable!

    She may be the smallest little lady you'll see, but she is definitely the biggest voice you'll ever hear. Her career should've been commercially successful globally like a Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. But that may have been too much for her considering the evilness of the industry and how innocent and sweet she is. Michel'le has been mistreated by so many people. She's been through a lot and I wanted to cry for her on every episode of Marriage Bookcamp during her season a few seasons ago.

      I feel like her being connected to Dr. Dre definitely put a hault to her promising career. He basically ruined it for her and her connections. What make it worse is how she had to turn to Suge Knight for protection because at one point, he made her feel safe. She's 1 of my favorite singers 💖

    This “Explained” series is like a masterclass session of learning how singers sing differs from how they speak.
    As for this session, I notice that how the throat not only connects to the mouth, but I am noticing how the confidence plays a role of the singer to sing. In a sense from the navel around the gut area is where I mean. Also where lower navel is where the creativity could play a contribution too.

      Uhm an adams Apple is a larynx that protrudes and can be clearly seen… Most women do not have them but all DO have a larynx. It’s like when someone says “that person has abs”, it’s cause they can be seen but everyone has a rectus abdominis muscle under their fat

    Was just listening to her the past week. Found her in 2013 and loved her since.
    Since her song climax from Something in my Heart goes up to F5 and it sounds high for her I assume she's a mezzo soprano. The highest I heard her go live is G5. She doesn't go higher.
    She's just so unique.

    • @BlackMusicArchive
      @BlackMusicArchive  Před rokem +6

      I'd agree. She has she has one G#5 that she did in the studio. From what I see and hear when she sings, I don't think she's comfortable above E5/F5.

    Sarah Vaughan talked way higher than she sang. Opera singers have said its better to talk higher like Mickey Mouse so it's not so hard on vocal chords. Michel'le kinda exaggerates it, but she's doing it right.

    Her voice on World Class Wreckin Cru's, Before You Turn Off The Lights was amazing.
    Loved her since a child!
    Funny story, my aunt(who is 2 years older) would spend the weekends at my house. I had a stereo with two tape decks, a record player at the top so my mom would buy me a bunch of music. I had Vision of Love on vinyl and Mechel'le on tape and my aunt would always make me perform Mechel'le songs while she did all of Mariah's.
    Fast forward to today, this heffa doesn't even like Mariah anymore while Mariah and I are still great friends🎉
