They Got Them Lows: Contralto, Mezzo, & Soprano (Vocal Showcase)

We don't get to see a lot of appreciation for low notes in the vocal YouTube community so I decided to make a brief vocal showcase displaying some of the most proficient female low registers in popular music. I've included voices that represent each one of the main voice types for women - contralto, mezzo, & soprano. Enjoy!!

I am glad and relieved to see many contraltos like me. A2 is common here. So impressive.

[aduhaduh]

I'm a lyric coloratura and I can support *F3* down to *C3*
I sound like a contralto I love it it's beautiful

[downcastlashes]

this was needed!!! so happy to see another video from you!!

[RustyHeartsTOV]

I love Lalah, she is so rich down there. Love her biphonic singing too.

[chelsealadd]

Brandy!!! Thank you for reminding me of her existence!

[YonceMimi]

Lara pauisini notes was D3 and Bb2 too... Jojo C#3 was down to A2. Great Video!

[gillianomotoso]

Woot! Happy Rhodes for the opening :)

[carlosroble]

Exelente video. Lila Down es una bestia en cada registro

[KimperialMarch]

I love this amd I'm jealous of those resonant low notes!

I can clearly phonate down to B2 and fry a bit lower, but my voice loses a lot of power below E3 (it hurts trying to sing them with the same power and placement as my chest voice).

muchisimas gracias!!! 🥰 es una preciosa ayuda para mi...

[SanaiaBamboo]

Missing from this video was Mariah Carey, Jazmine Sullivan, & India Irie. Still a great video, I love that the women were recognized for their unique gift

[orthohawk]

I can't believe you didn't include the two greatest contraltos in pop history: Karen Carpenter and Cher!

[davidmuller]

Probably the video with themost real contralto in this topic

[whatever]

Happy Rhodes 😳💕 holy shit, I got actual chills.

[shehulk]

What is it called when you can only support the lows?

[sylvainchavas]

Ces enregistrements prouveraient qu'il existe une marge en dessous de la tessiture de contralto décrite la plupart soit fa2 - fa4 (F3 - F5 en notation américaine), car les notes les plus basses notées sur cette vidéo avoisinent le la1 en notation française (donc A2 en notation américaine sur la vidéo).

[scottellis]

Two words for anyone who wants to compile a list of contraltos: Mavis Staple.

[dedvilla]

WOW algunas alcanzan la segunda octava. Creo las notas bajas son poco valoradas. Gracias por el contenido 🥰

[EmilyGloeggler]

I personally hate when forced to sing low, but to each their own. God bless!

[harissonkanang]

I'm Soprano but i can hit A2.. I can support up to D3 sometime C3..
