Nr. 9 – Ella Fitzgerald

As a young woman Ella Fitzgerald won a singing contest where the prize was to sing with an orchestra, although she was denied her performance since she was too ugly according to the promoters. But since then Ella has proved again and again she is the queen of jazz. She was a rare talent and no one could or can scat like her. I never get tired of her versatile voice. While writing this blog I’ve been frustrated many times of why I chose to write in English, with my limited vocabulary, but this is by far the most frustrated I’ve been writing in a second language – when describing Ella’s voice. This might give you an idea of what I think of her talent. Look at her, or rather listen to her! If this was a list of the coolest or best voices, she might very well end up as number 1.
