Perfect pitch is when you can recognize the exact pitch of a note you hear (like C sharp). The bass player of my band has perfect pitch. However, he cannot sing for toffee. I, on the other hand, have only relative pitch. But I can sing perfectly 'in tune'. That's why I'm the singer and he's the bass player!

jmathisfamily - Ok. I've heard Olivia and Dolly sing acapella and hit every note precisely. I've not heard Mindy sing without music. She may not have perfect pitch, but on this song and all her other songs I've heard by her, she is right on the money. Her notes are very clear and clean.

Possessors of perfect pitch exhibit the ability in varying degrees. Generally, perfect pitch implies some or all of the following abilities:
-Identify and name individual pitches (e.g. A, B, C#) played on various instruments
-Name the key of a given piece of tonal music
-Identify and name all the tones of a given chord or other tonal mass
-Sing a given pitch without an external reference
-Name the pitches of common everyday noises such as car horns

That's actually not what perfect pitch means.
"Perfect pitch, is the ability to identify the frequency or musical name of a specific tone, or, conversely, the ability to reproduce a frequency, frequency level, or musical pitch without comparing the tone with any objective reference tone, i.e., without using relative pitch."

Olivia, my searches haven't turned up anything regarding Mindy Smith having perfect pitch. Did you read this in a magazine?
By the way, having perfect pitch doesn't mean you will never hit a sour note; believe me I wish this were true. My mom can hear when others sing off key, but she either can't tell or can't correct her own off-key singing. Also, I've heard singers with relative pitch who have excellent pitch delivery. Still, Mindy did a great job in this song.

Hi Olivia, I didn't know Mindy had perfect pitch. I have perfect pitch also and usually can tell when I hear it in others. For example Debby Gibson, Michelle Branch, Loreena McKennitt, and so on...
Maybe the reason I didn't catch it this time is, for once, I was focusing more on the song as a whole - which is beautiful and profound - than on the individual notes being hit dead center.

sunshinegirl1967, that means Mindy Smith sings her notes perfectly in key. While many singers tend to lose track of a few notes, great singers like Mindy and Dolly sing every note perfectly. |
