As to what's going on in pop music these days, I can't really comment, but I do hear a lot of bare-naveled anorexics singing in fairly high "little girl" voices. Whether or not they are genuine sopranos (soprani?) I couldn't say, 'cause they probably don't know. Most of the female pop singers of yesteryear, such as Peggy Lee, Jane Morgan, et al tended to stick pretty close to their lower registers and at least sounded like altos. Times change.

But Alice is right. Your voice is determined by the machinery you were born with. But a good voice teacher can help you develop it to its full potential. Which doesn't necessarily mean you will sound operatic. Just as an example of what can be done with a well-developed voice, Kiri Te Kanawa, who is a full operatic soprano, has been doing a lot of pop songs and show tunes of late. She backs off on the operatic horsepower and sounds very much like a pop singer. A well-trained singer has a lot of control over the way their voice sounds.
