I feel compelled to highlight two vocalists whose works I have been allowing myself to indulge in as of late. I just feel as though there is something to be said for any artists these days who take such pride in the honing of their vocal skills to such a mastery.
The first singer is the world renowned operatic voice of Andrea Bocelli. While he does have many wonderful pieces I shall only post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcrfvP11Hbo He also does songs such as Nessun Dorma and Canto Della Terra which are amazing. You may have even seen him as a guest on American Idol or on Sesame Street.
The other artist is a girl named Cortney Wolfson. She is definitely not as big as Andrea Bocelli, but she is extremely talented in her own respect. A graduate of the University of Michigan, she is now a rising broadway star. The piece I have chosen to post is from her days at Michigan called Blue Hair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noR1WlBeTLc Her voice is very different from that of the opera, yet it has a quality of excellence all its own. Along with her voice, her personality is what sells the experience. She will no doubt rise quickly in the musical world.
More than actually comparing these two, I have tried to share two very different, very unique, and very talented artists both in their own areas of artistry. If nothing else I hope you have simply enjoyed listening to them.
