| Posted: 26 Jan 2020 04:42 PM PST Beyoncé may have a crazy vocal range, but fans didn't exactly see it until the premiere of The Lion King: The Gift and the television special Making The Gift. Is this pop diva a soprano? What does she have to say about songs like "Bigger" and the Grammy-nominated song, "Spirit"? Here's what we learned about this singer, her vocal range, and her most recently-released album.  Beyoncé voiced Nala in Disney's photo-real adaptation of 'The Lion King'This artist is much more than just a singer. In 2019, Beyoncé became one of the voice actors behind the photo-real adaptation of The Lion King. She portrayed adult Nala, alongside Donald Glover (Childish Gambino,) who portrayed adult Simba. Beyoncé even created an album based on the story of The Lion King, entitled The Lion King: The Gift. In fact, her song "Spirit" earned this artist a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Original Song – Motion Picture" and a handful of Grammy nominations. However, one of the most surprising songs off of this album is "Bigger." Beyoncé shared a lot of the production of 'The Lion King: The Gift' during her television specialThis artist took her involvement one step further, sharing the process behind creating an album. Making the Gift, a documentary special produced and directed by Beyoncé, premiered on ABC after the release of Disney's photo-real Lion King adaptation. "This soundtrack is a love letter to Africa, and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it," Beyoncé said during an interview with Good Morning America. "We've kind of created our own genre, and I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind. It's a soundscape. It's more than just the music because each song tells the story of the film." Although this album features artists and producers from Africa, the artist also performs on songs like "Bigger" and "Spirit." It's with these songs, for one of the first times, that fans heard Beyoncé's opera-esque voice. Is Beyoncé a soprano? What's her vocal range?You've seen her hit high notes during "Love On Top," but never like this. During the clip from Making the Gift, Beyoncé is seen recording the song "Bigger," saying, "So I hear some opera in the background. Could you bring me back to the first verse?" She then proceeds to hit crazy high notes almost effortlessly, time and time again. Classic FM reports, "proving that she is indeed an operatic mezzo in disguise, the 'Crazy in Love' singer follows it up with a stunning scalic passage in F sharp minor before hitting an F sharp an octave higher." This is not the first time fans caught a glimpse of Beyoncé's elusive opera-singing. Before singing "I Care" at her Coachella performance, the artist surprised fans with an interlude, proving her impressive vocal range. Music by Beyoncé, including The Lion King: The Gift, is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and most streaming platforms.  |
| Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Lil Nas X win early Grammys - Chicago Sun-Times Posted: 26 Jan 2020 02:24 PM PST LOS ANGELES — "A Star Is Born" is having a rebirth at the 2020 Grammys: After winning two honors at last year's show, the top-selling soundtrack won Lady Gaga two more awards Sunday. The album won best compilation soundtrack for visual media, giving Bradley Cooper his second Grammy. The song "I'll Never Love Again" picked up best song written for visual media, awarded to songwriters including Gaga, Natalie Hemby, Hillary Lindsey and Aaron Raitiere. At the 2019 Grammys, Gaga and Cooper won best pop duo/group performance for "Shallow," and the Oscar-winning song also won the Grammy for best song written for visual media. Gaga will compete for one more Grammy — song of the year for "I'll Never Love Again" — which will be presented during the live show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The pre-telecast ceremony, where most of the awards are handed out, opened with a brief remembrance of NBA star Kobe Bryant, who was killed earlier in the day in a helicopter crash in California. Referring to the arena where Bryant played for the LA Lakers, Interim Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, "Since we are in his house, I would ask you to join me in a moment of silence." Michelle Obama picked up best spoken world album for "Becoming" during the pre-show. Former President Barack Obama has won that same honor twice. Mrs. Obama beat out the Beastie Boys, Eric Alexandrakis, John Waters, and Sekou Andrews & The String Theory to earn her first Grammy win; she was previously nominated for 2013's "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America." And Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus won best music video for "Old Town Road," marking the first Grammy win for both performers. :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19630673/1202137821.jpg) "Let me just hold it," Lil Nas X said, looking at the gramophone. "Um. Thank you." Others who won ahead of the telecast included Billie Eilish's older brother Finneas, who picked up best engineered album (non-classical) for his work on his sister's debut album. Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir won best score soundtrack for visual media for "Chernobyl." Guðnadóttir won an Emmy last year for composing the TV series and she's nominated for an Oscar for her work on "Joker." Beyoncé also won an early Grammy: She picked up best music film for her Netflix special "Homecoming." It was her 24th Grammy. New stars like Lizzo and Eilish have a chance at winning the first Grammys of their career, but a cloud loomed over this year's awards. Ten days before arguably the biggest night in music, the industry erupted when the Recording Academy announced it had put its recently hired CEO, Deborah Dugan, on administrative leave for misconduct. Dugan and her lawyers fired back at the academy, claiming that the awards show is rigged. Tarriona "Tank" Ball of the New Orleans soul-funk band Tank and the Bangas, nominated for best new artist, said she's not letting the drama ruin the achievement for her band. "I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at, and I don't want anything taking away from all the nominees," Ball said. "This is our moment. This is our time." Alicia Keys is hosting the Grammys, which air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. Eastern. The show will be jam-packed with performances, including Ariana Grande, BTS, Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, DJ Khaled, Rosalia, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Tyler, the Creator, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, John Legend and Cyndi Lauper. The show will also include special tributes to Prince and Nipsey Hussle, who is posthumously nominated for three awards, as well as longtime Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich, who is wrapping up his career with the show Sunday. The last Hussle won his first Grammy Award, posthumously for best rap performance Sunday for "Racks in the Middle," which also features Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy. Lauren London, Hussle's partner and the mother of his child, accepted the award with several members of Hussle's family. London called Hussle "a phenomenal vessel" who "did it not just for the awards, but for the people." The Los Angeles rapper whose real name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom, got his first Grammy nomination last year. Less than two months later, he was shot and killed at age 33 as he stood outside his clothing store. Lizzo, the top nominee competing for eight awards, will also perform. Her major-label debut, "Cuz I Love You," is nominated for album of the year along with projects from Grande, Lana Del Rey, Vampire Weekend, H.E.R., Bon Iver, Eilish and Lil Nas X. Lizzo's No. 1 hit, "Truth Hurts," is also up for song and record of the year. Eilish, who will perform, also scored song and record of the year nods for her No. 1 hit, "Bad Guy." Other record of the year nominees include Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," Grande's "7 Rings," Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower," H.E.R.'s "Hard Place," Bon Iver's "Hey, Ma" and Khalid's "Talk." Taylor Swift was shut out of album and record of the year, but she did score a nod for song of the year — a songwriter's award. Her tune "Lover" is nominated against "Truth Hurts," "Bad Guy," "Hard Place," Lady Gaga's "Always Remember Us This Way" from "A Star Is Born," Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved," Lana Del Rey's "Norman (Expletive) Rockwell" and Tanya Tucker's "Bring My Flowers Now," which was co-written by Brandi Carlile. The Grammys will hand out roughly 10 awards during the live show. Most of the 84 awards are given out before the live show. Presenters this year include Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Billy Porter, Trevor Noah, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Cynthia Erivo, Ava DuVernay, Shania Twain and Common.  |
