It sounds as though she was trying to personalize the melody on the upper passages, but the result was a sort of pitchy mess. Otherwise, there is a genuinely classical feeling to the voice, and there is an obvious passion and respect for the music in her delivery. Raw material perhaps, but a hot mess, not a disaster.
She was not off pitch. Only on the highest notes it sounded a bit like it, but this is because her vocal position was not correct and she clenched her throat.
I think for someone with no classical education this was rather good. And she certainly has a beautiful voice. With some proper classical training she has the potential to do much, much better!
I thought it was just me ... once again, being too judgmental ... until I began reading the other comments. And so, it REALLY IS as bad as I thought! (lol) Having come from a Pop background, I am now aware that it is REALLY ARROGANT of Pop Singers to think they can sing Classical standards, and do them justice, without studying the vocal techniques, and remaining true to the style and form. This is really arrogant, because it shows her ignorance regarding the genre. Oh well. She's famous ..
your name is jewel but your singing is just exactly like a shat! I could never imagine a worse singing ever! Don't even think of touching any classical music it is not for you.
very ugly, breathy high notes. she slurps in every breath, and there's no feeling/tone to the song. she has a very powerful voice, just not for this style.
Jolie voix de soprano, mais il faut arrêter de chanter dans un micro, car c'est dommage pour les harmoniques. Beaucoup d'air dans la voix, mais ça se travaille. Allez, courage !
She's joking here, right? Those flat and sharp notes out of place are deliberate for comedy, right? The off lyrics, well, okay,,but the off timing, phew. Good thiing it's a capella, She should stick to her money music in public and leave this sort of stuff for the shower. Sweet voice, but ....when someone is famous and makes big bucks you sort of expect them to be better than the people who pay to see and hear them do things. I think this is a put on..
I disagree with all the people. Its not an easy piece to sing. And although it is not really good, it could be a lot worse. But I hear a lot of potential...
@Schokoladentoertchen As someone who sang this piece very early on in his singing career, I can safely say it's a pretty easy piece and Jewel just sucks.
@Schokoladentoertchen It is actually a VERY easy piece, and with her range, it should be cake. This is clear proof that Jewel has had no formal classical training, and when you have not, you should NOT sing classical pieces. It just makes you look bad. She's had a singing career for over a decade. She should have known this.
canta horrible...!! no me digas que es famossa???- o peor aún cantante??....que antiestetico que se escuche tanto su repsiracion..parece un burro rebusnadno ..sin decir de sus muy buena afinacion!! ..se tomo muy a pecho lo de morir..!!
you have so many other postings where you sing wonderfully so why on earth is this here on youtube??? It is terrible and does you no justice whatsoever!! From your other postings, you can certainly sing but this is just not for you, your voice, your technique. Take it off youtube and promote the other wonderful postings that you have!
Pazzesco. Bella voce, ci sono anche tracce di una certa impostazione. Ma... si paventano 4 casi, che elenco nell'ordine dal più improbabile al più credibile: 1) E' uno studio per cercare una melodia e un armonia alternative; 2) Non la sa (l'aria intendo) e la inventa lì per lì; 3) Sono io che sono briao tegolo e lei è intonatissima; 4) Ha ragione lei, c'è proprio da lasciarla morire.
listen to that inhalation at :10 ! Good God, Girl maybe blow your nose before going on stage. you can hear, though, her potential, her talent...unfortunately, it's pretty much at a freshman undergrad level. Yikes, Baby.
Well it's always nice to have people state but never illuminate their criticisms. She is a pop/indie rock singer and that piece is baroque, almost renaissance, and 100's of years old. It's painfully obvious that she didn't get any vocal training for it and if she did then the vocal coach should be shot!!! I love Jewels singing voice in her element, its very soothing, but this just left me non plussed!
@rottencat240 Well there is a brief pull to the dominant minor, just before a half cadence on the V/V, the last internal cadence, but I wouldn't call that a key change. I'd say for the whole work, the ear will accept d minor as the tonic, even in the prolonged dominant harmonies of the opening bars, which resolve to d minor at the first cadence point.
Of course, this rendition lacks a continuo, which would help solidify tonal functions, as well as Jewel's intonation.
@b0ttomzone On second thought, I don't mean to belittle the modulation to a. It does last a bit longer than just "a brief pull." For a few bars, we do hear a minor as the tonic. But it is a very closely related key, and still contributes to the overall tonal function of d minor. I think Jewel wanders off into some more remote keys..
It's well sung, with appropriate vibrato indeed, though not entirely corresponding to the compostion as it is known. Still, a fine achievement since this is difficult to sing without accompaniment. In popular music, more potential for classical has been shown(for instance, Joan Baez's 'Swing low, sweet chariot') and to me such experiment is well appreciated, for it examplifies where voices from different worlds may lead.
Whoa... This is making my ears bleed... She changed keys 15 times.. just overall bad.. omg.. the key changes.. holy.. ew...I had to sing this for solo/ensamble.. I would fail her.. *Sounded 238028502759023750 times better* Just.. ew.
*Edit and yes..she failed the lyrics horribly.. God.. listening to it again.. she just failed the whole thing. In cosi *DURA* sorte.. then GRAN martire.. Lasciate MIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! <- Dying cat. She put..an indian inflection in it..theres too many problems to count. Someone let me know when she learns how to sing in the same key through a song;)
yuck. tinyacrobat... I think you probably put it really well... minus the cuss word, but it does proves a point and she probably didn't even know what lascietemi morire meant when she was singing it. She screwed up the lyrics too.
ROFL aw man, lol. she's otherwise a good vocalist but she's super pitchy here. didn't they give her the sheet music to follow? =( operas just not her thing. && she kept putting gran in the wrong spots. Learn the lyrics && notes <3
This is plain AWFUL! No technique whatsoever, italian pronounciation sucks, and major flaw at 1:46.. Jewel, stick to yodeling and "normal" singing, and please, please stop ruining great classical pieces..
There's quite a lot to be said for having some actual training and stylistic coaching before having the nerve to perform something like this. There's a reason why classical singers train. Because it's not as easy as pop, as this wretched bastardization of this aria proves. I like Jewel when she's singing her own music, but until she gets some classical training and learns something about Early Baroque style, she needs to stay away from this repertoire.
Oh, come on. It's not any worse than any other undergraduate voice major. Intonation problems, totally inappropriate style, but the voice itself is pretty enough. If it helps get people interested in classical music and hearing what it's supposed to sound like, I'm okay with it.
Terrible! I sang this betteras a 15 year ols school girl. it is a tough song to pull off, but she's exposed very flaw in breath work, phrasing adn pitch by being unaccompanied.

Its a pitty, but she made it totally wrong. its awful. It hurts the ears when we listen to it. She has her qualities but this song is not appropriate to her.
It sounds as though she was trying to personalize the melody on the upper passages, but the result was a sort of pitchy mess. Otherwise, there is a genuinely classical feeling to the voice, and there is an obvious passion and respect for the music in her delivery. Raw material perhaps, but a hot mess, not a disaster.
