Talk:Karen Clark Sheard

Whistle Register
"One her highest full voice recorded notes a B6 can be heard on her song "You Showed Me" from her newest album It's Not Over."

I have removed this as it is personal research. A B6 is at the top of the 6th octave and is impossible to hit in chest. It is most probably a B5. Tuner programs display notes an octave higher than they should be quite frequently. ~Snail456 at 07:15, 4 February 2006.


 * Yes a B6 is considered impoaaible in chest(the highest I've heard of is a D6 by Monica Naranjo) and even in head. but does any one know her highest note in any voice. I read on her article that its in the 6th octave but im not sure what note. I would really like to know. She has a great voice. ~67.181.94.96 at 01:28, 5 February 2006.


 * Is B6 whistle register?I thought it was E6 and higher? ~216.79.251.222 at 04:29, 5 May 2006.


 * That was a C6 note that she hit, and yes, it is quite impressive that someone can sing that high in chest voice! ~216.79.251.222 at 04:43, 5 May 2006

Scales start at C and end at C so count c-d-e-f-g-a-b-c and u will see that b is higher than c. ~ 207.200.116.6 at 00:53, 2 July 2006.

''In her younger years she, as well as her sister Denise, were often heard singing operatic notes in the upper rungs of the eighth octave. Sheard is also known for her dramatic chest and head registers that can also enter into the eighth octave.'' Undoubtedly, Mrs. Clark-Sheard has an AMAZING voice, but I was just wondering, which songs does she sing into the eighth octave? TamYum 06:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok so Karen has hit a C6 and B5......I want to hear this eighth octave and even whistle register. C6 is close but not close never counts. ~24.162.74.108 at 18:07, 4 July 2006

Karen sang a C6 in full voice on the song "You Showed Me" from her 2006 album, It's Not Over. I have yet to hear a song in which she sings in the eighth or ninth octave, but I suspect she is able to. Also, the whistle register is described as the range of notes from C6 to C8 (on a standard piano), but includes notes higher than that. Since Karen sang a C6, she is able to sing in the whistle register, although there is some complication over this because the note was in full voice, rather than falsetto. However, a C6 is a C6, no matter which register.

I agree! :PJdot01 03:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Operation
I was just wondering, I know that she was very sick a while back and that she nearly died, although I never knew what condition she had. What sickness did Mrs. Sheard have?


 * Never mind, someone answered it, thanks

 * Sounds as if it was lifted from a fan page or something. TamYum 15:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, remember: This is an encyclopedia entry. We all love Karen but lets not overdo it. Jgcarter 04:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Name It, Claim It Clip —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.162.74.108 (talk) 02:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC).


 * Hey man, I don't wanna sound like a traitor, 'cause I love me some Karen...but I don't think Karen's note on "Name It And Claim It" counts as whistle register! The only singers (that I know of) who really belong in that category are Minnie Riperton (as the undisputable heavyweight champion), Chanté Moore, Mariah Carey, and Shanice. There are others I'm sure, but I don't think those are Karen fits the category. Karen's from another planet altogether. So how about you start a category called "Category:Out-of-this-world singers" and put her in that? — Souldier77 10:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

That wasn't a D6 in "Name It And Claim It" I"m sure. I don't think that was even a D...I bet Karen can sing in the whistle register, even if she does it in head voice.  We just haven't heard her do it.Jdot01 03:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * All this jargon is confusing me! lol Jgcarter 05:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of Karen's highest notes...I think you guys should hear the reprise to the song "Yet Praise". It's on Marvin Winans album "Friends". On the reprise Vanessa Bell Armstrong is called up to sing and then Karen is called up......Karen hits this crazy note! I think it might be higher than the note in "You Showed Me". I have the song, I can send it to whoever wants to hear itJmillz2005 06:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)05:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you send it to me? Jgcarter 21:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure I can e-mail it to you..or I can upload it and send you the Downloadable link. Jmillz2005 21:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The Downlad link will probaly work better...thanks! Jgcarter 21:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The highest note of Karen's (of which I know) was c#6 - she hit it at uncf's aretha tribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.87.208.254 (talk) 14:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
