Musical waterboarding Good idea
Coral groups use 4 parts - Bass, Tenor, Alto, & Soprano, but when they classify pop (as in non-classical music) singers, I've always seen them use a simplified version of classical music categories which is:
Male Voices
Bass - Barry White for example
Baritone - (Most common male voice) - Jim Morrison, David Bowie
Tenor - Michael Jackson
& occasionally Countertenor - (Rare exceptionally high tenor) - Geddy Lee
Female Voices
Contra-Alto - Amy Winehouse, Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, Nina Simone
Mezzo Soprano - (Most common female voice) Sheryl Crow, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Pat Benatar
Soprano - Kate Bush, Ellie Goulding, Jewel, Christina Aguilera
I thought listing a few examples might help. I just mentioned singers that I've only seen listed as that type of voice. Like both Mariah & Pia (really but Haley doesn't rate a listing?) are listed as sopranos but I've seen both of them listed under Mezzo Soprano before too so..
Also here are a few links that describe each voice type, which might help.

Btw, I've tried to figure this out before just using vocal range & couldn't do it. I'm 99% sure she's either a Mezzo-Soprano or a Soprano, but don't know which.
