Any idea what category leona is closest too? its quite confusing for contemporary singers, some people have said shes an alto with collutra soprano cababilites like mariah (but leonas lower notes arent as good- although much better now), others say lyric soprano..i dont think we got anywhere lol! Most said xtina is a sprinto soprano.”

I think we can safely say that Leona is not a dramatic soprano, because her voice is not thick enough.
But, i feel her voice is still not light enough to be classed as a Lyric Soprano.
She definitely has coloratura abilities, in the sense that it is very agile, and she can do runs in head voice (i think when we classify voices, we use head voice)
She's can't by a spinto surely, because it doesnt possess enough of a dramatic quality. This is so hard!
