Now that is interesting. Christine is a mezzo. I am a mezzo. Yet I can bring
my chest up to B if I wanted (although I no longer want to; used to do it as
a pop singer.) At any rate, I have read in various books that another way to
classify voices is how far they can bring their chest voice up. And I've read
opposite things on that, as well. . .Contraltos can and should bring it up to
Ab, Mezzos to F# - G, Sopranos to E-F vs. Sopranos to G, Mezzos to F,
Contraltos to E. I've come to the conclusion that that analysis is faulty.
