  • Hehe.... I have to say, her voice is good, but needs to practice more to hit the right higher notes. And the tempo of this song definitely needs to be faster.

  • why god why

  • FLORENCE FOSTER-JENKINS REVIVAL!!!

  • Lo peor fue el tiempo, definitivamente.

    Me gusta la voz... hasta que llega a la cololatura...

    No se si es que aún el aria no le queda bien, o que sinceramente es culpa del que le arreglo la pieza.

    Ademas... su dicción tiene problemas.

  • demasiado vibrato, desafinada, cantas con la garganta, falta de presencia escenica. a destiempo, mal pianista haha y bla bla bla ...

  • 技巧要多練練!唱的這樣爛還自我感覺很良好會不會太誇張了...­...............

  • No es para ella

  • Yeah... the tempo is slow...

    The voice is... goob... but dosen't have the... that special thing.

    Jaa na !!

  • Goshhh!!! Retire!

  • MA RITIRATI VACCA!!!!!!!

  • despues de ver a marisol cantar, esta mujer es una diosa

  • hahahahahahaah y que lo digas xD

  • Tempo is WAY too slow. Her voice is terrific, but this is a song about exacting blood in revenge from a rival. This aria in a slowed tempo takes away from that big time. So anyone who doesn't know this piece or the German language might think, "Oh wow! This is really pretty."

  • her voice is NOT terrific

  • I respect your opinion. I have mine as well and I think very highly of this singer. Be sure you are distinguishing VOICE from PERFORMANCE. I don't like this PERFORMANCE because of the incredibly slowed tempo. I think had this been performed at a more appropriate tempo, it would sound very good!

  • NO.. NO.. NO GUSTAR

  • lol this was hilarious..

  • I couldn't take my eyes off of her strange chicken impession. She just kept lifting her elbows up rather than breathing.

    Learn some basic technique and do a simpler piece some credit before you murder something that's way out of your vocal and technical league.

    I think she was just showing off(and failed!)

  • @Toriabockle Nice Tits though.

  • I could sing this version without care, and you see, I am a tenor. This is awful!

  • the tempo it´s horribly wrong

    sounds like a ballad and not like a rage aria

  • Horrible :(

  • she need breath!!!!

  • of chlorine

  • I think this aria is not for her.

    She is out of tempo cuz she cannot breath correctly, lack of technique maybe, she should try with smth easier.

  • hehe.. ye.. sounds a bit like florence foster jenkins. check her up :)

  • yeah it's pretty slow

  • I personally know how difficult it is to sing this. It's a workout. Kudos for trying it out, takes guts. Yes, for some reason it's under tempo...really odd.

  • Florence Foster Jenkins

  • Waaaaaay too slow jesus are you enjoying the sound of your own voice too much or something??

  • if u think this bad, search for "Marisol cantando la flauta magica" and compare.

  • bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahah­aha, thanks, i needed a laugh...although kudos to that pianist. he was really helping her as much as is possible.

  • Okay, so maybe this isn't her song. But at least she could hit the hight notes, so we can rest assured she isn't a reincarnation of Florence Foster Jenkins. At all.

  • "Oh... my... GOD!" is all I can say of Florence Jenkins. I cannot believe that they even dignified her on Wikipedia with a recording her performing this very song.

    But this performance is FAR too slow.

  • Yes, she "hit" the high notes, and this video proves that this is not the only qualification for singing this aria!

  • tooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow

  • she's here and a very lot of people can see AND hear her. she's not perfect. she's miles away from it. the kind of interpretation is not the best. she tryed, but not succesfully.

    i think, if you are not the best and you are in front of such an audiance you cannot expect good critics(?). plaese take this video off from youtube. its better for you and for us.

    greetings from germany

  • You guys are haters, she's fine...yes, it's slow, no it's not perfect, but can you do that? I sure can't

  • no we're not. we're realists. she's beyond awful. it's slow, it's not perfect, it's not even in tune! a dying frog could do better than that

  • if it's slow and she's not perfect, then she can't be fine!

    we're not haters, we offer a healthy review of someone's poor singers. and our inability to sing this bad does not excuse her from taking this awful performance out in public. you do it and you get the beating.

  • Opera critics are the worst! You all are not nice to that poor woman, at least she's trying...mean, mean, mean, mean...

  • Don't use the "you can't do it" excuse. If someone here knows that can't sing this, probably won't even try, especially in public. But she didn't care and kept hurting everybody's hears.

  • You all are just mean, and I think I can judge her... is her voice so off key that cats are running in opposite directions? No, unless you have heard Florence Foster Jenkins, you cannot be hating on this woman...she's fine...is she sumi jo, no, but for someone who is not a professional she's doing ok...

  • I have heard Florence Foster Jenkins and this woman is not far from her =P

  • That's boloney and you know it. You just want to be mean and cruel...Why is it that opera "critics" are so nasty? It's like having a bunch of Simon Cowell's that get off by spewing venom...

  • Lol, I'm just kidding, don't take it so serious. But you have to admit that she's definitely NOT an opera singer.

  • well the last part isn't the greatest, but I've heard worse.

  • Well, I *can* do it, but that doesn't make much difference to what we are talking about here. Every soprano who has a few high notes think they can sing this aria, and I wish they wouldn't! How does the teacher allow this, is what I want to know. Teacher must be as delusional as the student.

  • this is not good but shes way better that florence foster jenkins.

  • This is far too slow, and the flaws in the voice show out because of it, plus the mistakes made. eeeek! Try for lower roles.

  • Judging by the background, the acoustics and the cuts it sounds like a class recital, if she's a learner then it's not going to be perfect. She didn't sound like she was struggling much except a couple of the very highest notes. She just needs to keep up the training and practise.

  • it says performed at a church. hence she's an amateur singer.

    she was struggling to stay vaguely in tune ALL the time. and it was ridiculously slow.

  • it waz sloppy. but way better dne i cud evr do so i appreciate

  • Florence Foster Jenkins, anyone?

  • I was thinking the same thing

  • ew.

  • she has lots of mistakes...and it´s too slow

  • Her voice is very high but where is her talent? She only stands there and thinks she is gorgeous and great. I wonder if she know what she is singing or if she knows that most of her notes is false?

  • way too slow

  • I never understood why would anyone sing and aria that they are totally struggling with. She could sing anything else, I suggest romantic opera. Why this hell of an aria that if one doesn't make perfect it's terrible? If you can't do it perfect stay away from Mozart for in his music the slightest mistake SHOWS!!!!!BADLY!!!

  • ¿What kind of bad joke is this?

  • So many things she could do with all those easy high-C's... but this piece with all that vibrato is not one of them!

  • My God, this is slower than Bessie Abott! And why those odd little edits? Did someone spare us the really BAD notes? Of course, the Benchmark of Bad in this aria is Florence Foster Jenkins, but this, bad as it is, isn't bad enough to be funny.

  • ROFLMAO. I agree! I want to see FFJ's recording on here. Hang on... I have the CD... somewhere. lol

  • she has no pitch control in the upper register, at all. whoever americanidol006 is doesnt know what theyre talking, this has nothing to do with anyones opinion of opera, it just sucks. judging by the americanidol name, youre probably some high school girl in choir who sings pop and doesnt know anythign about opera, im in music school and i listen to a lot of opera, and i can definitively say that that was aweful.

  • Aaaaarg. She's out of her vocal range. And the triplets were mildly horrendous... Also, I think they need a change in pianist, or at least a tuning.

  • Dear, sweet Jesus! Please make it disappear from YouTube.

  • This lady has a good voice but has been mislead into singing in the wrong range & clearly doesnt benefit from the guidance of a good vocal coach. If she did I think she would do very well. Her lowest notes were the strongest & in the best tone. Because of this, I'm sorry, not trying to be unkind but this particular performance was awful, pianist hang your head in shame.

  • btw i could kill her for that egocentric laughing at the end... and the person who says "bravo" must be deaf. at least after listening to this.

  • oh...my...god...

    who told her she could sing this? i've never seen someone who misses so many tones. it's like a cat falling into a bathtub!

    plus she clearly doesn't understand a word of what she's singing.

    the pianist must have some musical education. and for destroying this piece by polaying it so slowly he should be punished. by listening to that recording over and over again.

  • Also, I think if she performed something like Voi Che Sapete, it would suit her voice much better, as it's a slightly simpler aria, and it would also show off her vocal abilities much better as well.

  • She has a very nice tone to her voice, but lacks in vocal technique. I can't hear her diaphragm working at all on the high notes. I don't think she was really ready to perform it. The tempo of the aria is also way too slow, and because of a lack of emotion it comes across as a tad bit boring. I feel that she was only trying to show off her voice. The pianist also faltered on many occasions.

  • A nice voice, but she is seriously mislead. The aria itself is about a woman who is enraged, this tempo is waaaaaay too slow. She didn't sing that 'F' in tune ONCE! Moreover, I don't think she knows the meaning of what she is singing. She is completely emotionless.

  • This is the worst one I have heard on youtube. She had trouble all the way through.

  • She isn't that bad. It all has to do with your opinion of Opera and music. If you don't like it then why are you even listening to it? She actually has some talent!!! I sing opera. It can be very pretty and she isn't doing that bad!!!!!! Stop hating on opera singers!!!

  • what is she doing?

  • What the f*$#!!!

  • I hope nobody paid to hear this horrific performance. This is very embarrassing for both the singer and the pianist.

  • a good effort. Good for her.

  • ZZzzzzzzz is it over yet? She probably has a fairly good voice, but she shold keep her vocal chords away from this piece, otherwise she won't be singing for long. That might be a positive note!!

  • So she clearly has the Florence Foster Jenkins recording and learned to 'sing' it from that, right?

  • FFJ was a genius, either way. She sang at Carnegie, damn it! She was "off" just enough- and keeps us guessing.  This woman is just plain painful.

  • Just two words: extremely painful!!!!

  • OUCH...painfully slow, and crappy tuning on her way up, and squeaky tops...just...wrong...stop tormenting mozart :(

  • Well, anyone who will take this aria on in front of any audience is braver than I will ever be. The effect of this one, slowed down like this, with all its glittery edges softened, is really different. It's just too high/too hard for her, as it is for almost everyone.

  • i'd say, anyone who's willing to butcher the aria so much has no shame. if she considers herself an opera singer, she needs to make sure that she can sing the piece before standing in front of any audience. it's like one of those bad american idol auditions.

  • Seems like something a really young, really high-aspiring person might do, though.Reminds me of myself in my teens, singing "Che Faro" from Gluck's Orfeo in an audition because (as I was pathetically pleased with myself for being able to do) I could hit all the notes. I'd gotten enchanted with the aria after hearing it sung by someone whom I know now was not all that good. I hadn't heard Janet Baker or Marilyn Horne sing it at that point, and if I had, I'd have known not to try.

  • Really bad...i agree this is not the right pieces for her, probably she's not ready yet.And the pianist is so bad too.

    Awful...

  • Der Hölle Rache is beyond the singer's talent.

    this is another reason why i avoid churches - it is a breeding spot for singing mediocrity.

  • actually, im not sure why i decided that this was performed in a church.

    terrible nevertheless. both the singer and the pianist.

  • it doesn't mean there's a complete lack of talent in them though...

  • i know. i was just being an ass

  • gdgd

  • She is reminding me of Florence Foster-Jenkins...

  • Why has thou forsaken me?....LOL The pianist is a mess too... and whoever is saying bravo at the end must be a blood relative. Now that I'm done be ugly, let me say it took a lot of work to get to that point, good job, don't give up! Nice voice let it work more and not you...just think about it and you'll get it...

  • Oh my poor ears...this is the WORST Der Holle I have EVER heard. That does include the 12 year old boy that sings it!!! FAR too slow, horribly unclean coloratura, bad piano playing, bad video. Do I need to continue??? Please remove it!!! Unless you want something to laugh at non-stop. I hope you didn't charge for the recital!

  • good voice, wrong song...her voice is not as far in the development as she thinks it is...could be better if she had waited a bit...

  • too slow

  • Really beautiful tone, wrong choice of song though.

  • She's good. This must be crazy hard to sing

  • Ok I'm the last person to judge one's singing but this really isn't that good. The tempo is too slow, the phrasing is pretty dire, the pitching of higher notes is pretty poor, and tbh, I think this has been recorded more than once and pieced together.

    Oh, and the pianist? Not that good tbh.

  • well... not great. flat on the high F and and ugly slurred runs, not great control of your upper register. more practice and it might work. also, another song might be better. I feel you are just a soprano, not a coloratura soprano. the pianist was amazing either.

  • sing in your fach lady!

  • I think this is a prime example of why it is so important to pick the right song for your voice. Nice voice, bad song decision.

  • this video is great. she is the best of the worst. i'm adding this to me favorites.

  • Your voice is rather rough for this aria and you fall flat on the high Fs. You need more training to polish your coloratura. But I like the natural quality of your voice.

  • your  voice is amazing but you need to sing more ligth , this aria is for coloratura soprano

  • i do not mean to be mean but this is my favorite aria. the woman needs a lot more practice before she can sing it.

  • she obviously totally misunderstood the song...she's trying to sing the colouratura sweetly which is just wrong!

  • Eeeek! Run away! Run away!

  • She has a very nice voice, but she needs a kick in the ass.

  • I'm sorry but she actually makes my skin crawl! Far too slow, pitching is absolutely horrendous *particularly in the upper registers* and the pianist isn't that brilliant either. In fact just as bad!

    Though the sound does seem to be rather alright

  • This really bad. The tempo is really slow. The pianist is really bad and her voice was not made for this song at all.

  • AH, my god. Awful... The pianist is really bad, and the woman in the picture, the screamer... Delete, delete...

  • Canta bien y SparafucileVengador te ensalsará. Hazlo mal y SparafucileVengador te lo dirá. Esta mujer, con ese peso, cómo carambas podría cantar rápido? No tendrá un buen amigo que le diga que se ve horrible con los brazos descubiertos? Tiene potencial, pero está más que verde. Por Dios, que no la dejen cantar mientras no esté lista!! Esos "sobreagudos" son insoportables. Cómo la gente se atreve a subir esto a Internet? El objetico es que la gente salga huyendo de la ópera?

  • she needs help...tempo is extrememly slow...she needs to understand the text better..I dont thinks she has a clue what shes saying...the F's were nasty

  • This is beyond awful. Why and how in God's name does this woman think that she can sing? It's like amateur hour at the local school, come to think of it I reckon that it is amateur hour at the local school.

  • jajajajaaaajajajajajjajajajajj­ajaja ajajajajajaj ajajajaja ajajjajaja aajjajajajajaja ajajajajajaj ajjajajajaja ajajjajajajaa

  • you need to have more concentration...a lot of the pitches are off

    its alright

  • This is terrible. Did someone try to edit some of her squeaking because the video because skips.

  • You raped a piece of art.

  • this really sux, some potential in her voice but really BAD technique and no emotion at all. oh... she killed this

  • the pianist is out of tune also

  • HORRIBLE

  • Very very bad.... this is like the graduation of the kinder garden on the singing art. Very bad, it's a joke!!

  • this is a joke :P

  • The pianist doesn't help either ...

  • its okay but idk..

    can be better

  • i think a dying frog would give out a better rendition of that aria...would probably be in tune too...

  • hahahahahaha......

  • This is awful. It is not endured to listen honestly.

    I think that she is not a skill as this song can still be sung.

  • I agree this is a little slow, lost the magic...

  • there are some parts that are off key.... was she singing sharp when she is trying to reach the high F???? I don't she has trained her voice.... at least, it does not sound like she has...

  • see, it could be good if it was faster...if it was faster then she'd have more energy to sing and it'd probably sound pretty good

  • I enjoyed it. Why should everyone stick to the original? Come on, it wasn't like remaking of the opera or anything. ;]

  • she was trying to stick to the origina o_O that's what's so disturbing

  • sirinferno, the original from 1791? o_O did she hear it her nightmares.

    gosh, every time i log on to read comments, i have to hear this performance all over again.

    i wonder if FoxyGrandpa is somehow related to the singer.

  • Come on honey, it is Queen of the Night not a Sleeping Beauty...

  • Not a very good rendition, but she definitely can sing well. This is one, if not the most, dificult aria to sing, & she did deliver most of the tough notes quite alright. The tempo is way too slow though. If Mozart was alive, he'd sue her.

  • Firstly, as everyone has already mentioned that this aria is under tempo. But maybe the singer purposely did this to make her diction more clear and also do something that isnt easy. Because what she did wasnt easy and she was brave to take it on.

  • "How about this song?...It has lots of high notes and I love singing high notes... What's a zauberflote?... That's too fast, can we do it slower?"

    Love the smile at the end...yes sweetie, you done good. But do you know WTF you're singing about?

  • choose another song..please.. you will ruin your voice..

  • Awwwww! Okay, she is not the hottest Queen but did anyone hear the accompanist? My good God in heaven! Oh, by the way, did I say it is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow? Yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwn!

  • AWFUL!

  • Mozart would kill her...

  • huh?

  • so it's slow - it's not that bad. people say i'm too nice when it comes to reviewing and stuff, but i thought it was pretty good.

  • sssssssssllllllllllloooooooooo­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • This aria was meant to be FAST not turle express slow! Go back to an opera school, practice that car alarm voice and try not to squeak when ya sing OR talk!!!!

  • Wow...go hide under a table or something. This is terrible. have some self-respect for crying out loud!

  • boah, ist das schlecht...

  • thats right lady, take your time..dont mind the piece's tempo markings..just soldier on..pretend the notes are all whole notes, dont mind the composer's intentions, you are far above that.

    but to give her credit, she can hit high notes i cant.

  • was the speed supporsed to be largo? please hit the high notes properly.

  • what a pity!

  • Okay... THIS IS TOO SLOW! It stares you in the face. I'm sure she would sound a lot better is you sped up the tempo.

  • Oh, please close the gates of hell (that would be her mouth).

  • Ummm...one of the worst (probably THE worst) I've heard this aria sung. She totally murdered it.

  • so baaaaddd

  • A TOTAL DESTIEMPO

  • The accompanist pianist can't get the right fingers on the right keys... no comments...

  • >< argh how awful

  • she looks like she's singing about the milk in the pot that boiled over

  • Esta del nabete su tecnica no es buena, es una verguenza para los que estudiamos opera

  • PLOP! tu siempre has dicho que no estudias opera, que lo tuyo, lo tuyo, lo tuyo, es cantar para el populo!

  • Es demasiaaaado leeento, para cantar eso se necesitan años de trabajo vocal, tecnica operistica. ademas canta con microfono, y no llega a las notas sobreagudas y los tresillos ligados los hace aaasqueroso.

  • jjaajjaa LOL

  • In her defense, the first round of C's were better than I expected...but oh dear GOD!!! The worst Queen I've ever heard. This tempo is AWFUL!!! All her rhythms are wrong, and the pianist is almost worse than she is.

  • My opinion is I wouldn't even attempt it if I couldn't sing it well. I mean, she is not only weak with her support (is there even any there?) she can't keep the beat--she's off a couple places, and futhermore, she sings it as though everything is all wonderful--and that is not what the song is about. Also, why the hell is she keeping the beat so slow? It's much faster.

  • Now I may still be new to opera, and my ears may not yet be conditioned to tell horrible from good, but in my opinion, she's attempting to sing of the most difficult aria there is, and I say kudos to her for at least attempting it.

  • Well, what can one say? It's almost like she can't reach it! She's struggling to get up there 'so to speak' besides, she's singing it to decent, too nice, this should be sung malicious, evil.

  • Someone needs to throw her a big tomatoe.

  • FOSTER JENKINS IS BACK!

  • Please... isn't this just an amateur singer performing for some people at a church? Taken as that, it's not so awful. It's far better than that woman who just sang the notes to a beat as if there were no lyrics.

  • If that's the case, and she's at a church, then why didn't someone throw some holy water on her and command that screeching demon out? The power of Christ compels her:o)!
