Listen to any Christina song if you want to hear a belter. Fighter is a good example. Or her part of the Moulin Rouge song, Lady Marmalade. Belting is harder (in my own personal experience) to do well without hurting your vocal chords. A lot of power chick pop is belted.

A softer singer would be, I don’t know, Jewel? (Her early acoustic stuff.) Most folksy or acoustic guitar-playing singers are not belting. It’s a more breathy tone. However, you can use both techniques in the same song, so it’s not like you have to be one or the other.

Does this help at all?

soft singer and belter are pretty self explanatory, but if an explanation is still needed:

soft singer: marilyn monroe
belter: axl rose

I think she handled that really well. How is Mr. King still relevant? There should be a mandatory age cut off for tv personalities and driver licenses.

He’s the worst. He had Baryshnikov on once and it was the worst interview ever. He never knows anything and always sounds so clueless.

Sometimes I think Larry King is actually dead, and CNN is just pulling off an extremely well-executed “Weekend at Bernie’s” plan.
