Patricia Petibon

[jfichter69]

2:23 for squeaky dog toy :-D

[LacrimaLunaMortua]

The freakest version I've ever watched *-*

[HeidelbergSoprano]

AWESOME I LOVE IT :D

[pinintra]

ottima performance, ma no si poteva utilizzare un pianoforte vero anzichè quella schifezza dello yamaha?

[YaelCapitan]

Les oiseaux dans la charmille

Dans les cieux l'astre du jour,

Tout parle à la jeune fille d'amour!

Ah! Voilà la chanson gentille

La chanson d'Olympia! Ah!

[TheNattella]

слишком много баловства!Натали-непревзойденн­ая Кукла!!!

[orlandomonjoie]

@TheNattella Мне нравится

[Transoxiana94]

She`s adorable and she must be very brave to make her voice so thin at will! As this is not her natural voice... nevertheless, a true doll!

[DieSonneSinkt]

Reminds me of a sex-with-a-marionette scene in a Fellini film... I can't remember which one it was.

[woundedheart132]

3:04 to3:12 is just plain amazing

[radwigs]

Love it!!!!! It is a song being done by a doll, how serious should it really be? I think she is brilliant!

[HaberfieldChiro]

@radwigs ;great comments from you.Iagree that this is simply brilliant and cant find anything on Youtube that she performs which is otherwise.This is definitely a gifted and beautiful colaratura soprano who should be getting more world recognition.

[AndreaNozzari]

Che schifo!!!! Orrible! Terrible!

[acladiva]

this is the weirdest version of this song i've ever seen LOL. She's hilarious. I like patricia but i dont think i like this one, too bizarre. I know this song is silly and absurd but i've seen better version and this is just too wacky. it's fun to watch though.

[osbornd89]

LOL at the performance and peoples comments !!!!!!! This is really cool!

[evolve749]

When I first watched this, I thought it was goofy and over-the-top, even ridiculous. That was about 30 views ago. Now I think it's absolutely sublime. Needless to say she grew on me. She just has this magnetic quality that keeps me coming back for more.

[l51660322]

她應該是我看過手最忙的女高音了~= =

[dubonetducon]

c'est une blague, nest ce pas...?

[Diva2themax]

Bwhahahahahaha this totally cracked me up.

[sucubodream]

is lovely!! <3

[noccioza]

Super comme d'habitude =D Elle me fait bien rire !! Toujours des superbes interpretation j'adore

[FDGDSFg332]

unusual....

but she has a nice voice

[CatalinaDM56]

She needs to work on her intonation. But I guess that isn't important.

[neijsseni]

freaky and not the best version i have heard!

[paulinetalors]

Quelle voix!

[AtahualpaGoldstein]

What a beautiful sense of humour and comedy!

[felicianomusic]

No sir I don't like it . It's a nice voice, certainly. I found the performance of it tacky and she slowed down in certain parts that I can't tell if she did it purposely of just couldn't handle the runs a tempo. but she's hot so most people won't care

[colombineann]

@felicianomusic

Could you guys loose this annoying habit to say that a woman is "hot" when you think she is good-looking ? Sluts and porn stars may be hot. This woman isn't hot, she is pretty, that's a very different thing.

[felicianomusic]

@colombineann I was being facetious in my use of the word hot

[donaldcallen]

@colombineann Could you lose "loose" when you mean "lose"? I agree with your point, but when you are lecturing people in English, it works much better if you get it right.

[carlo331]

Pietosa...una cabarettista, non una cantante

[MrBasilego]

Une cabaretiste? Si vous voulez, mais une très grande chanteuse aussi. J'admets qu'ici, elle cabotine, c'est son moindre défaut. Mais l'avez-vous regardée chanter ce rôle nue ou plutôt en costume de femme nue? Elle ne cabotine plus du tout, et fait de l'automate un personnage à part entière.

[zasesdea]

she is very player jajajajajajajaj i love her jajajajajaj

[AccessGuy11]

This is a bad transcription with a whining noise influencing the overall sound. Her voice is perfect for this role as is her expression. Try to find a better transcription before you judge!

[hochbar]

nice voice as a matter of fact!

[CatalinaDM56]

It sounds like she has to urinate...really, really badly.

[tipo11]

Genial, i love it.

[cleanears]

Disgusting!

[edopiano88]

genial

[gohar002]

She's mad... Terrible... An horror film...

[dynamicstuff73]

nope!

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! What is it?

[Guitarrista]

Me parece guapisima. La teatralidad con que canta me parece de lo mas original... y la verdad es que me pone como un perro.

[destilar1]

she looks like Amelié, and has a great voice!! that´s attitude... i luv her style!

[VeronicaSY]

That's why I like hearing and watching her.

[birbanto24]

it just came to my mind exactly the same amelie with a grate voice ... but sumi jo is the best

[Bregowald]

she's so cute. i wanna mate with her

[crazytwinsinc]

Me encanta ella!!! :D

[TarjaSenpai]

I love her voice and she's so cute!

[josejuanparrasanchez]

ME ENCANTA!!!!

[ovleonmagno]

Quizá no sea la mujer más bella, no obstante, la más graciosa y encantadora.

[enerqe]

Ni graciosa ni encantadora. Simplemente ridícula.

[LazlosPlane]

As we say here in NYC, Tres Adorable!

[cruxiagoth]

she looks out of her mind.... and her voice is astonishingly out of this world!!!

[Elunatrece]

a mi simplemente me encanta... hace una muy buena diferencia... y el aria se presta...

[embargot]

Ouhaaaaaaaaahou !! je m'en remet pas !!!! elle est magnifique!!!! c'est merveilleux !!!

[killerbunny123123]

yep, she is excaggerated as a mechanical doll but her voice is really astonishing...i mean i found someone who is almost near to be something that resemples natalie dessay....maybe because this ms petitbon received the same french singing training that dessay revceived

[lolocemoi]

I'm not sure you got the point here, because, according to the offenbach's opera, she IS a mechanical doll. So the interpretation is completely right here.

[killerbunny123123]

haha ^_^ im afraid that it is you who didnt get what i mean; i know that she is supposed to be a mechanical doll, the fact is that i think that she is TOO EXAGGERATED even for being a mechanical doll...she did put too much emphasis in the "being mechanical"

[lolocemoi]

OK, I've misunderstood what you were saying.

On another hand, I've seen her on stage at Paris Bercy in front of thousands of people. Her performance is not meant to be filmed so closely.

Finally it is of course, a question of appreciation.

[killerbunny123123]

it is it is.....and i really love the voice of petitbone......she really has a clear voice and can reach high notes! very talented...

[akemilsson]

vicken massa skitsnack. Hon är ju dödsfestlig. Och fantastisk sopranröst. ren och klar.

[Eremita21]

Es una broma perfectamente expresada tanto en teatral como con la tecnica del instrumento.

Hay que tomarselo como lo que es, tambien hace cosas serias muy buenas.

Aprender a reir, sereis mas felices.

[MegaCawotte]

En général, j'aime beaucoup ce qu'elle fait, et j'admire les artistes qui se permettent de revisiter ce genre de trucs, mais là... Je trouve pas ça terrible. Un peu lourd.

[nicevidbro]

Nice voice, but the performance is not good. She takes too many liberties.

[otacs2]

maybe a bit, it is just her interpretation

[nicevidbro]

I think Dessay own this piece. She made several interpretations on totally different productions and yet she always seems to get it right.

[sorbetkiwi]

Beaucoup de travail et d'originalité mais c'est quand même très osée, la partition est très déformée et la voix n'est pas toujours là...sûrement du talent pourtant.

[Heartlessiceboy]

The best thing about Patricia Petibon is that she isn't the typical soprano ,she have bright personality but at the same time she still have talent and classical technique.not like all those "classical-crossover" sopranos who can't sing a note like filipa giordano or sarah brightman who can sing but is not possible to uderstand what is she singing

[cuniza]

Mon Dieu! Pitoyable!!! Moche, mauvaise technique, commont a-t-elle pu passer aux informations national? C'est la honte national!!!!

[atralfalgar]

Tu est en train de critiquer sa personalité ! C'est une magnifique vision burlesque

[KOKAYT1]

beurk !!

beaucoup trop de bouffonnades... pour une voix qui reste un peu trop guturale... pour faire le clown il faut posséder l'excellence de la technique et un timbre parfait !!! ça n'est pas son cas... ce qui est permis à Dessay n'est pas donné à tout le monde !!!

[bouzignac]

Le maître absolu a parlé...

[KOKAYT1]

Grand bien vous fasse !

[PAUSEPAINT]

Quel plaisir que de revoir miss Petibon...

De plus est dans ce petit passage où la comédie, la voix, et la danse s'entremêlent avec aisance et humour!

C'est un sourire aux lèvres que je vous dis merci miss!..Merci!

[baldandevil]

GREAT GREAYT!!!!!!

[CrebornR85]

I am in heaven...love u patricia...

[legrandchene]

(suite & fin)

J. Offenbach et son inspirateur ETA Hoffmann demandent justement du burlesque, de la fantaisie, de la gaité, de la féérie drôlatique...Patricia interprète tout ça dans le bon sens. C'est enlevé, c'est vif et humoristique ! Actrice, poupée et chanteuse tout à la fois. En tout cas, chanté par la Petibon, il me ragaillardit cet air-là !

[KOKAYT1]

Au point de vous en faire oublier toute musicalité !

Si ça vous regaillardit ...

Moi elle me fait penser à ..... Vico la Reine de la patate ...une mauvaise chip's !

[legrandchene]

En réponse à Senaforever, Insaneoperapixie et quelques autres États-Uniens pissefroids : par pitié, ne prenez pas les Contes d'Hoffmann pour le Parsifal de Wagner ! On n'est pas sur le même terrain musical, ni la même esthétique.

[PBDsgirl]

I think this is the worst thing I have ever heard next to Hannah Montana and chinese opera. I think this is a cross between the two,and an agrivated miniture poodle...

[coy6642126]

Chinese opera? How dare you! That's the most moronic comment I have ever read.

[LevisOrdo]

have no taste...

[bouzignac]

Décidemment, il n'y a pas moyen de mettre une réponse au bon endroit (Au niveau d'un commentateur précis) sur ce site étasunien.

Je voulais répondre à "Latraviata"

Je sais bien que "Des Contes d'Hoffmann" est d'Offenbach qui bien que compositeur du 19è siècle est nettement supérieur aux navrants "Bel Cantistes".C'est d'ailleurs l'avis de ETA Hoffmann, compositeur autrement plus inventif et savant que les compositeurs de la péninsule...

[crystalcyt]

she is singing a song talking about a mechanical doll having short circuits

[bouzignac]

What do know about Music ...?

This was a concert for fun.

Old taste.

[kngiht84]

Take out the joke and she's still an exemplary artist of the traditional French coloratura: nasal and very bright (you might say harsh) on notes above C. Oh and I love her singing Baroque BTW !

[mrlammermoor]

i think she is just nuts.

[JTec92]

beerk

[SENAFOREVER]

Really hideous, no technique at all.

[SENAFOREVER]

This is hideous.

[gentlecurve]

This is loveley

[forcapower]

you are so right

[lyak]

OMG !!!

she's totally destroying this song !

her voice is not as beautiful as it should be for this song.

seriously, she's not good enough to sing that.

she could take lessons.

[LevisOrdo]

still jealous...??

[LauraPlavalaguna]

hi!!! she's amazing with that voice

someone, could tell me the name of the song? please!!!! thanks

[VeronicaSY]

Les Oiseaux Dans La Charmille

[vitroz]

revolting

[texaswhitelobo]

Patricia Petibon is so terrebly amazing in this video, she is totally my favorite opera singer she's the best.

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

Hysterical. Love it. Only one thing missing: black Converse high-tops.

(always loved Ms. Petibon)

[Tanushkarus]

She's great

[eXecutivedirectress]

OMG it must be hard to sing while shaking hands and jumping so much... She is definitely great, although I think that she went too far in this interpretation.

[phirze]

elle est carrément insupportable !

[zvpxrpl]

i do not agree with you at all.

silly acting? this is what offenbach whats his character to act - he whats this aria to be completely absurd. and she does this fantastic!!

so if you don't know the peace then don't wright such comments!

[sapunica43]

This is exactly the reason why French get on my nerves.

[bouzignac]

Yankee débile

[sopran21]

too bad! she have such a pure and beatifull voice and instand of showing us this talnet she looks so silly.

what is her point? she want to be unick by "acting" like this?

[katmonica]

She kicks ass!

[latraviata1853]

Seeing this video makes me want to hate her and dismiss her as amateur, but her technique is legitimate and she sounds great (when she's not doing that awful squeaky voice).

[bouzignac]

The "musique" of Verdi is without any interest.

Remember that before judging...

No instrumentation and vulgar melodies.

Italian "Bel"Canto is shit.

[youfeda]

odiosa

[gmmix]

A full-length CD-set exists of the Tales of Hoffmann with Petibon playng Olympia. To be sure, her rendition of the Doll Song is quite different from that which most of us have heard over the years. I find the lady interesting!

[tangleduprecordlabel]

she's amazig!

[VeronicaSY]

Oh, yes. She's so beautiful and talented.
