Edmond Burke, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey et al


I’ve started researching a new piece. Have acquired an ebook of Edmond Burke’s On the Sublime and Beautiful. Also just watched this YouTube video titled “Christina Aguilera – BEST Vocal Runs”:

(Did you watch the full video? I did – but that’s because I’m hardcore. My housemate got about halfway.)

If you’d like to suggest any other vocalists who turn one syllable into many notes, please do. Some singers I have in mind are Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce. (However, I will also be exploring further afield than contemporary US female vocalists. Note: Oops. Just remembered that Celine’s Canadian.) Specific song suggestions are welcome too.
