Too warm a voice to be dramatic, Nippy was a spinto soprano; hence the 'shouty' impression her top notes gave. If awe and marvel were her intended emotions, she conveyed both with flying colors. Name one Whitney song that made people cry as IWALY truly misses the lacrimogenous mark. Compare with this song by the late Dolores of The Cranberries https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Kspj3OO0s
