Jayalakshmi singing 'Sathyanayaka Mukthdaya'

The Indian phenomenal child singer has a natural vibrato. If she learned English she could easily pick up western musicals.

The Phantom of the Opera was huge success as it is the longest running musical in history. Look at how many Christine Daaes from twelve or thirteen countries singing the cadenzas from 'Think of Me'. Wow I have heard cadenzas from opera singers. It is so opera like. I think from the Internet I gather that cadenza is a free style like in skating to show off the singer's vocal skills. Some of the Christines are opera singers. Here is an ear aching experience.

Some were better in this than in "Think of Me' and vice versa. Sierra Boggess, I think, was overall best.

 
The Phantom of the Opera 'Christines vocals' comparison Part 2


I think these two songs were the most demanding and difficult to sing. Perfect for an opera singer.
