KATIA KERES "The Voice"

by jenny heying

Described as having an amazing voice, Katia Keres didn’t disappoint those in attendance at Silk Stockings. Jumping in to “Dreams” to open her show, her voice led the way. And following with ‘Runaway”, it was clear her voice is more than amazing. It’s simply awesome. Her voice leads us through every song and it resonates throughout the venue. She’s the ultimate professional and it’s clear that she has vocal training and if not, wow. With backing tracks subtly supporting, her voice dominates the show as she covers songs from every genre.

With “Feel like Making Love”, her voice is soft yet powerful. With “Fever” her voice is sexy and dominant. Her voice is always predominant and the focal point, but it moves with each and every song.


Between songs, she banters with her audience and you can’t help but fall in love with the Brazilian accent. The Miami resident knows how to please.

Her show is diverse and professional. Katia moves delicately from one song to the next, each providing a moment before passing to the next. You don’t want a song to end, but you want to hear the next.

Katia has what most performers want, a voice that suits any song. It’s crystal clear and while her voice is center stage, it is not overbearing. It clears the way for your ears to be soothed and your mind stroked.

Her set list is diverse with songs ranging from Celine Dion to Sheryl Crowe to Sade and everything along the way. In fact, if there’s a great vocalist, she’s on Katia’s playlist. The mood is set and Katia floats along with it.

Performing “I Still Love You More”, “Nobody Does It Better” and “Cry Me A River” Katia showcases an incredible voice that is suited for Second Life® and real life.

If I seem to be talking a lot about Katia Keres’ voice, I am. When you take in her performance, it’s the first and foremost thing you notice and what you will remember long after you’ve left. She hits and holds every note she attempts and her range is beyond what most singers would hope for. She’s entertaining and does so unobtrusively. She puts her voice on the line for you and with it; you sink in to a warm place you’ve never visited before. That is Katia performing.

Among her songs tonight, she did a breathtaking version of “By Your Side”, a lovely version of “Besame Mucho”, an inspiring cover of “Valentine” and a simply put, incredible version of “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You”. Each time she lets a note out, it’s breathtaking. She finished with “The Woman In Me”, “Restless” and “I’ll Stand By You”.

If you want to hear someone sing in Second Life®, there are many to choose from, if you want to hear an incredible voice, choose Katia Keres.

And by the way, the dress she wore was gorgeous.
