I would like to see this article about the name Kyla, or at least some mention of it. I am interested in the name's origin, and was not expecint an article about a singer! kylet 19:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
whisper register is complete noncense...its a vocal technique not a register.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.30.28 (talk) 05:32, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a register, not a technique. Since you're already here, you might as well look it up here at the Wikipedia first. --- Tito Pao 14:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Dubious statement about "dramatic coloratura soprano"
- She is Classified as Dramatic Coloratura Soprano known for her raspy and husky voice
I am disputing this statement on the following grounds:
- Kyla's range is way, way low for a soprano. It's more like a mezzo-soprano or an alto.
- The Fach system normally applies to voices of an operatic timbre. It's unlikely to be used for pop singers or for pop songs. I have a feeling that whoever inserted this statement was trying to build credibility by looking up the term from some music text book and then inserted it---right at the very first paragraph of the article.
- It is an unsourced statement. I can't find anything that would support this statement.
If no one else would object to these, I will delete the statement in question. --- Tito Pao 15:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
To me, she sounds like dramatic coloratura soprano because of powerful and big and agile and very high voice. But she could also be a lyric coloratura soprano. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.218.226.211 (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
For MARIAH CAREY--"Carey is said to be able to cover all the notes from the alto vocal range leading to those of a coloratura soprano". According to you, "It's [Fach] unlikely to be used for pop singers or for pop songs". Then, please explain how to classify the vocal range of pop singers. You may watch her videos in youtube and please inform us here what her classification is. Try watching her performances of Somewhere over the Rainbow, Destiny's Child's Emotions, and Mariah's emotions.

Kyla's vocal range
Kyla's highest hitted note is on her performance of Someday of Mariah Carey which is b6. So she is a soprano.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vj rom (talk • contribs) 14:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- So? Can you cite references about this? --- Tito Pao 15:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
KYLA's 4th album was "Not Your Ordinary Girl" and not "Someone to Love". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Earnesthope (talk • contribs) 11:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
According to a video on youtube it says she has a vocal range of 4 octaves ans is a Lyric Soprano, but most of the notes featured dont sound that high/impressive. 82.25.184.162 15:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Youtube videos are only in the most rare of circumstances acceptable as sources, and one that requires a listener to be able to identify which notes are being sung is also in violation of our policy of no original research. Active Banana (talk) 03:32, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced sections
Voice
Kyla's raspy and melismatic vocal technique has earned her the status as Philippine's R&B and Soul Princess. She is classified as a Dramatic Coloratura Soprano and is prized in the Filipino music industry for being one of the few local artists to posses the genuine and silky "R&B voice". She was one of the first local artists to record an album in the R&B genre, since R&B was not widely regarded at the time. She is noted for her wide range, her use of melisma, her belting and head tone techniques, the husky quality of her voice, and her versatility that enables her to render songs from all sorts of genres.
International
Kyla has collaborated with international artists such as Fra Lippo Lippi, Ronan Keating, Keith Martin, British boy-band Blue, Malaysian R&B singer Ferhad, and Malaysian hip-hop duo Too Phat.
After her album, Heart to Heart, was awarded a gold status, on November 29, 2009 it was announced that her album will be released in Malaysia and Indonesia, and will contain Bahasa version of her hit song, "Hanggang Ngayon" as well as "Hinahanap-hanap Kita".

Kyla albums all platinum???? (questionable)
The source is really unreliable and questionable!!! I believe this is the proper certification list of Kyla's albums:
- Way to Your Heart - (uncertified)
- Kyla - (uncertified)
- I Will Be There - Gold
- Not Your Ordinary Girl - 2x Platinum
- Beautiful Days - (uncertified)
- Heartfelt - Gold
- Heart 2 Heart - Gold
You can construct Kyla's article but be sure it contains fact information and NOT FICTION. Kristelzorina (talk) 04:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
