Who needs Joan Sutherland?

[WINSTONS123]

i have a lot of fear of this room with clocks!

[InDepthPerception]

I'm not sure whether to like or dislike this video.... XD

[henryv69]

GRANDIOSA!!!!!

[jmahlon]

that last high note is so awesome...lol

[LaL09303]

Como se llama el aria???

[dtdeaton]

I can affirm that this singer is still around and active, though it is kind of impressive how quickly she can move the voice around to nearly the right notes.

[spenzur]

@dtdeaton Do you know her name?

[dtdeaton]

@spenzur : I don't personally know her name, but it's easily found out as she frequents a certain rehearsal space in the city. Her other repertoire includes: Salome, the Walkure Brunnhilde, Queen of the Night, and various other vocalises, which all bear a resemblance to the above, though a number of years out from this, I would imagine, along with all the normal developments which usually occur with this brand of vocalism.

[spenzur]

@dtdeaton What city is it? Thanks for the info. I really like her. ALthough she doesn't sing very well, she does it with passion and she takes riscs. I love that ;)

[dtdeaton]

@spenzur NYC

[dtdeaton]

All this said, I don't think she is actively seeking a career in the profession, therefore one can assume she's singing for her own personal enjoyment. More power to her in this age where so few things seem to cause happiness.

[caliratura]

Yikes!!!! For the sake of not stating the obvious, I won't eve comment on her "singing." Let me bypass that and focus on the dining room curtains she's wearing. All around bad situation here....yikes!!!!!!!!!

[yogoon49]

pourquoi s'obstiner à son age à vouloir tjrs etre soprane si c'est pour que chaque son aigu soit loupé, c'est affreux, autant chanter des airs + graves mais bien faits

je pense que la note finale a du en reveiller ou tuer 1 ou 2 dans la l'auditoire

[yogoon49]

[ERICsampa]

Simplesmente UM ERRO. Tô com vergonha alheia!

[chupahombrrre]

Too many drinks; too few music lessons.

[Drelnis]

lol and when she stopped at the end I thought "oh my god, she's going to take the Eb, oh my god". The Eb was great.

[basselyrique]

@Drelnis It's an E, not flat...

[Drelnis]

Is this a grandfather's clock store of what lol. And I can tell you none of her raggios are lusinghiering at all :P

[MrSwifts31]

Florence Foster Jenkins is alive and well, and singing at this Gala? Concert.

[emma41093]

@MrSwifts31 OMG it's her reincarnation!!!!

[STERO1145]

que quien necesita a sutherland pues todos los que quieran escuchar esta aria bien cantada yo por ejemplo ... La voz de esta persona tiene sus atributos pero le falta mil años de entrenamiento para poder cantarla bien ... llegar a las notas no es suficiente, muestra una falta completa de delicadeza y nada de elegancia ...

SI entrenas su voz unos mil años mas tal vez pueda cantarla bien

Por cierto destruyo el aria .... por cierto escucha bel canto.. veras que lo que hiciste no lo es

[fabrizietto1980]

I do love the final screa... trill! lol

[StuartLou]

I have no idea what's going on- but I LOVE IT.

[beagleman123456789]

Please, take up the Sax. This hurts my eyes.OMG , NO

[beagleman123456789]

Please, take up the Sax. This hurts my eyes.

[leonardovittori1]

Its not a woman.. its a dude.. with a well developed falsetto.

[raigekimaru]

in response to the title. I need Joan Sutherland

[Sadiesexy]

@raigekimaru me too.

[RubyDeWitt]

LOL she sounds like a crowing rooster when she sings a high note.

Cock-a-doodle-DOO!

(Not to be mean but her dress looks like a towel she wrapped herself in after getting out of the shower)

[bmh4d0k3n]

She must have studied with Hildegard Behrens. Their acuti are eerily similar.

[thomastmwc]

terrible pianist horrifying singing ridiculous persona

[gimmeachallenge]

All things considered (and the last 2 minutes aside), the fact is this woman doesn't have a terrible voice. She actually has some decent sounds here and there, and the maneuvers around the coloratura decently enough. But this aria is so far above her abilities as to be comical. . . too bad. She might have done well on, say, "Rejoice Greatly."

[Eiswirth1]

She sounds drunk.

[callastimeless]

She is not a coloratura soprano. It was not great.

[Caskader]

This woman is so versatile. She sings Aida too! And her sound isn't that much worse than Sutherland's in the last 20 years of her carreer..

[timsuffolk]

@Caskader ridiculous comment!

[Royalorgans]

keep working on it.

[spenzur]

Does anyone knows her name?

[Bigman240]

Time for an enema?

[emilytransex]

MAMMA MIA KE RISATE MI FA MORIRE!!!!

[Nervenkratz]

Haha... Florence Foster Jenkins is beaten by far.

[wattever333]

it's better than florence foster jenkins. her dress is terrible. she did not get good coaching. she can't reach the highest notes, so she should have chosen something else. and she slurs. simple things to correct. the pianist is making mistakes.

[PinkAlipaca]

holy. hell. words can not describe.

[banate]

I'd gotten half-way through and said to myself, 'oh, she's not abyssmal...just garden variety bad', but I made myself listen through to the end. I'm so glad I did!

[cazzuba]

but WHY ARE THEY CLAPPING????? POOR MARIA....

[cazzuba]

QUESTO è CANTARE

[felipecunha]

Brava, Ms. Jenkins!

[sour7lemon]

Sutherland WISHES she had this woman's diction....

HAHA that was mean....

[timsuffolk]

hehehe this made me laugh!

[Hako2004]

Key of L no doubt. Sounds like L.

[Caskader]

@Hako2004 Hell, you mean the key of hell

[dalincom]

yes, indeed... something like a sining dogy...

[andreideathboy]

The name of Dame Joan Sutherland has nothing to do in the same phrase with this...i agree this woman sings very bad...she screams actually but there are much more examples like this...

[verdisinger]

memorized, no less

[sour7lemon]

@verdisinger Hahahahahha

[marylambcarter]

bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa LOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Richiesutherland]

Oh my God, I think I'm in love. And what a great set for Ravel's L'Heure Espagnole!

[1970heinz]

Ma è Manuel Mensà?!?

[schaunard1]

AAAAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[TreblesBasses]

TRULY WHERE IS JOAN?

[XPRT10R]

STOP ALL THE CLOCKS!

[wenarto]
