@colorguarddrummajor I didn't realize the point of a vocal competition/performance was to sing poorly in order to make fun of other singers. Thanks for the enlightenment.
The rest of it is good, is it so far-fetched to believe that the soprano just can't sing that high?
@eggbertshootsfire The Queen of the Night aria is incredibly difficult for sopranos. It is also written for a coloratura and most sopranos are lyrics. The aria is written right at the top of the average soprano's range (A.K.A. It takes years and years to sing those notes correctly and on voice). Also, I'm pretty sure that the flat notes were intentional. This is also a sketch, mind you.
Besides the fact that it's written in the score, it's not even in the right key so even if she did hit the note cleanly, she wouldn't be singing the Queen's correct note. So this is all a very moot point.
@corgipawz: Couldn't agree with you more. There's nothing wrong with not being able to sing something that was intentionally written to be near impossible to sing.
@corgipawz The whole point of the piece is to spoof Opera and it's singers. They're not doing it to be mean. The point they were CLEARLY trying to make at that point was that most women CAN'T sing the high notes.
With a little marketing, these guys could knock Il Divo off their perch, no?

then they should act it out, so it would be clear it is meant to be off tune!

if you're going to sing flat on the high notes for the queen of the night aria, DON'T sing it!

If you look at the reactions of the others (especially Paul) I think it was intentional - in their other performances I've heard it's sung the same.
