I knew Desiree when we were teenagers. We used to sing in a choir together. She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. Got lots of exposure. I could never understand why she didn't blow up until I read some of the comments here. I have to agree that with all the great things she is - what she is not is a great entertainer. She does not connect with the audience.. and that's very important.

I am confused by this one. It's like she can clearly sing (very clearly and very well) but something is missing at the same time. Her runs are also a bit odd because it feels like they are more about showcasing the technical aspects of her voice alone rather than doing that and enhancing the song itself. Amazing raw talent though. Many singers have to be shown how to channel what they have effectively. Oddly Patti LaBelle was one who readily admits this.

@jazzscherzo Please. She's definitely got it. She just doesn't USE it. For example, she's more beautiful than Beyonce'. Her voice blows Beyonce's out the water. Yet, she plays-down her beauty, and even plays-down her singing. Meanwhile, Beyonce' plays her's up. I do give props to Dez's integrity. Beyonce' plays innocent, yet, works the stroll, more or less. Though Desiree's not "commercially" successful, she seems to be more successful, than most, as far as real life goes.

For positive proof, listen to her sing in her stage performance of "Mama, I Want to Sing" on this site. She was a 4 out of 10...She was sounding flat, off-pitch...almost tone death like someone who could not sing, but we know she can SANG! Again, I love her and have been wondering how her career is fairing. #myopinion

Wow! Chills! I watched the movie version of Mama I want to sing. Besides Ms. LaBelle one Desiree gave me goose bumps. Today she'd have to dress half naked, gyrate, wear pounds of make up as well as have a 20 in. waist in order to get coverage in the industry. She is more in the Whitney, Mariah, Christina & Celine catagory. Why Ms. Colemans stands out to me is that her voice is clear, pure as well as powerful. She doesn't over sing like Christina. Her voice has a prettier quality than Mariah's.
