Diana Krall Survey

Contraltos in general are a relatively hard sell for female vocals I think. Contralto is the lowest normal range for a female singer I believe, making it the least distinguished from male vocals. A contralto has to up the ante in other complimentary ways more so usually to score with the masses I think. I have seen Lady Gaga and Katy Perry categorized as contraltos, though contralto is a classical music voice designation technically. I think Diana Krall is no different. Sometimes she does and succeeds, sometimes she just relies on her vocal chops alone which is a tougher sell, at least for me.

I still can't believe this gorgeous creature is married to Elvis Costello !!!!

Shes actually looks better in photos than she really does. A great vocal talent.

Saw her in concert a few years back, it was one of the most memorable concerts we've been too. The high light was her Jazz numbers, the entire audience was swinging and grooving.
