Vikki,
Thank you for posting this, and the explanation of different "weights" of voices. I'd noticed there are variations, but didn't realize there were named categories. That's good stuff to know!

Thanks for the AI explanation too. I thought they were talking about the meaning or theme of the song being not the right fit for the personality. (Sometimes that happens too though... when they say a song was "too old" for the teenage singer, etc) So when they tell Lakisha and Melinda D this year "no song is too big for you," would that mean they have a "Wagnerian" voice type, or that their skill level is enough to pull off any song??

Just curious!
Would you mind terribly pointing out a celebrity example of the other types of voices? I'm not clear what the difference between spinto and colouratura would be.

Thanks! This is an interesting topic.
