Talk:Isabel Suckling

"...the youngest classical recording artist to date..."
This is what the sources say, but it cannot possibly be true unless they mean the youngest classical recording artist for Decca or some such qualification. Off the top of my head I could name Jackie Evancho, who was 10 when her album was #1 on the Billboard Classical charts. But also the claim is not even that Suckling is the youngest classical solo artist, so if anyone younger than her has recorded classical music as a part of a group has been younger, then the claim is false. There are scores and scores of choirs with younger singers than Suckling (not to mention younger artists who play instruments who have recorded classical music).

Since these examples can easily be cited, it would seem reasonable to note in the article that the "youngest" claim is contradicted by other cases, which also can be cited. 99.192.62.205 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC).

I know this is a fraught topic, but I've altered 'Classical' in the info box to 'Crossover, having looked at the contents of the debut album (All Through the Night, Brighteyes, Imagine).

12-year-old *soloists* don't sing classical works (other than the odd part within a choral liturgical work). They don't have the developed voice or the technique. Ioan_Dyfrig (talk) 13:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
