    Bassey is a beast. What's really interesting is that I often prefer her vocal moments from her 50s onwards. How many other singers, can you say you prefer from that age onwards?
    She's releasing another album this November in her early 80s!! She's truly deserving of her title as Dame Shirley Bassey.
    The work in this video is insane btw. Well done!

      Underrated by who ? Which bunch of nowadays insignificant ignorants ? Bassey is/was not at all underrated. She is/was the grande dame of British music hall. One of the most sought after vocalists of the past century. One of the top three international headliners in her field ( like Liza Minnelli and Dionne Warwick , in the absence of Streisand who wasn't touring in those years, much to her fans dismay). If you were old enough to be , say, a child of the 70's , you'd be aware of that. Even in those days , there weren't that many great female international superstars vocalists and Bassey of course counted among them.

    Is there any record of Shirley singing unmiked? I know it wasn’t common when she started, but it’s hard to get an idea of the size (or general projection) of her voice compared to others for me. Ethel sang unmiked for decades. Judy is on record doing it. I’m sure Kate Smith did, too. I have no doubt Shirley could, too, but I’m curious as to how she would have faired against Broadway orchestras. Love Bassey, but she’s hard for me to sort. Undeniable talent and skill, though.

      @Aaro Tähtivuori Very bright voice with actually a pretty high tessitura. The way she uses an edge belt (it's a form of belting) up to F5 shows her tessitura. She's also capable of singing in the zona di passaggio at literally speech volume. And the territory I'm speaking of here is above the mezzo territory. She is a soprano who learned how to sing low, but her lower range is still not that special. I can name plenty of sopranos with way stronger lows. And I can also link classical sopranos (even coloraturas and lyric sopranos) who literally sound like tenors when singing in their chest voice. Also another thing is - Jojo considers herself a soprano (she recently was asked about it on her Instagram livestream) and her mother also called her a soprano. Her vocal coach Stevie also calls her a soprano.

      @Aaro Tähtivuori Well, the 'RUclips vocal community' misuses very simple vocal terms quite sadly. I wouldn't say it's right in most of the claims they have. Most teachers would disagree with what all of the 'educational' videos by people like MrSkinnyJeanz say. It's quite frankly misinformation. Also, regarding the F4 and F#4 bit - most pop singers quite frankly have underdeveloped chest voices. If you want to hear the potential of soprano middle range, listen to people like Maria Callas in opera. She's one of the most famous coloraturas and her chest voice is massive - for example in this - ruclips.net/video/7Xws7wKuc4w/видео.html. If you want a light high soprano doing the same - ruclips.net/video/6t365da96z4/видео.html. In general, people on RUclips have very weird standards and base voice types on stuff like 'having ease on G5 belts' which is ridiculous, as literally not a single adult will have ease up there BELTING. And none of them are wary of technique used. For example with Christina, they don't base her voice type off how she sings with the coordination she does, they just see that she's struggling around a certain area. There are a ton of things that people have to look at to classify someone.

      Shirley is a mezzo soprano whereas Whitney was a full soprano. Mezzo-soprano singers are very dominant with their lower and mid ranges in terms of depth and audibility. It should go without saying that the sheer volume of Whitney's impressive mid-range won't overpower the volume of impressive Shirley's mid-range. For a soprano, Whitney definitely developed her mid-range masterfully and used it to great advantage too.
