[crazycatapillers]

I am in love



[paulo39667]

The most perfect Carmen

[PatriciaCarini2011]

Diosa entrañable! Flaca por un amor. Aprender mas y mas. Vale la pena sufrir asi??

[7511540]

i just adore her...

[TheJedgeworth]

Pity the poor soldier who messed with this chick!

[schoolhousenews]

Look at how she just throws herself into the role... Such mastery...

[7511540]

her facial expressions.. dear god, what a beauty..

[mrwangggg]

Fantastic! Fantastic!! Fantastic!!! (L)

[IGORJEY]

Forever Calles

[jonflynn1]

Beautiful, sexy, vibrant the lady made opera so special, the 12 who gave thumbs down are truly tone deaf

[TheJedgeworth]

@jonflynn1 I think the people who gave her a thumbs down are scared of power and beauty.

[melvil252]

en plus elle etait en fin de carriere et n'avait plus :"qu"un pauvre sifflet"bien des gueuleuses feraient bien de prendre des cours de chant.

[majorcynic]

@melvil252 - La voix n'était pas la plus grande partie de son charme. Maria Callas était légendaire.Vous semblez très mesquin(e).

[singingislife18]

Toi toi toi!

[araykuph]

Fantastic! So effortless!

[getlost0204]

Such a shame she never staged Carmen - she would have been the BEST!

[entropyftw]

I wish I had her hair.

[TriniCurlyGirl]

11 people are tone deaf.

[DieForSnacks]

@gandor1337 She's not screaming she's using her voice fully!!

[hammer55292]

@gandor1337 Then why have you been here for 2 years on Callas' sites, you sick bitch???

[mike04091987]

FANTASTICO! REYNA DE REYNAS...

[mike04091987]

UN ANGEL EN EL MUNDO DE LOS MORTALES.. GRACIAS MARIA CALLAS....

[sillyboydeux]

This is just beautiful vocalism, magnificent impersonation, full of charm and allure! Her "big Texas hair" is muchly appreciated.

[vahisern]

@hammer55292

you russian DIRTY sow

[hammer55292]

@vahisern We " SPAM " you to death, bastard-child of a prostitute.

[hammer55292]

@ferricheart WOW!! You are getting " SPAMMED " to death, you son of a bitch prostitute!!

Callas fans are killing every one of your posts, you scum licker. LMAO!!!

[hammer55292]

@Neanderthalgirl I like to fuck your SISTER more tthan your MOTHER. Both are good whores.

[OperaCritics]

@hammer55292 , the dirty sewer rat from Russia!!!

[hammer55292]

All Callas fans!! " SPAM " Vahisern to death!!!!

[zamyrabyrd]

Callas is still unsurpassable in her characterizations - a mean, contemptuous Carmen that a propspective lover should "prend garde" . This might be an academic question after almost 50 years, but WHY is she bringing her shoulders upfront rather than pulling them back to make more chest capacity?

[gustopheles]

@zamyrabyrd I've read that this was a compensatory technique for supporting her voice. After losing the weight, she had little breath support and was losing control of her high register.

[OperaPhantom1909]

That is ridiculous, this is not a place to curse anyone's family or to say offensive things, so please, be more respectful and go somewhere else.

Ps: I am not trying to enter in this stupid argue, I am just saying that here is not the place.

[vandrops]

@OperaPhantom1909

You're right, but Hammer55292 is an idiot. Nobody can help him!

[realroxxane]

if people want to make negative comments its a free country... but that doesn't make them less ignorant or sad haha just let them complain.... its whatever. if they never understand this music its on them.

[Neanderthalgirl]

@realroxxane

..... amen!

[hammer55292]

@Neanderthalgirl Many people think you're some stupid kids, looking for a reaction. How stupid they are. You are not kids, and you're far from stupid. In fact I think you are quite shrewd. However, you are a fucking bastard. Every word you type will come at some little expense to your MOTHER. Even though you are anonymous, I still defile your MOTHER'S being. She will feel the negative kharma, trust me.

[hammer55292]

@vahisern Yes, yes copy the HAMMER!! It shows my greatness. I got you first on your prostitute family, and you can't do anything about it!! LMAO!! Wow, do I sure like fucking your dirty SISTER'S ass!!! LMAO!!!

[puidehamster]

its not possible to criticize maria callas, she is not human, she is perfect, noone will ever sing like her!

[hammer55292]

@puidehamster Yes, I could not agree with you more!! Why do so many people sit idly by and let me do all the work of defending Callas!! Why aren't hundreds of people pounding the FILAREDOs 24/7 with the same filth that they have been spewing for almost two years against La Divina!!!! Well, they can all sit on their chicken, lazy asses. If I am the only defender of Callas, then so be it. Every word posted against Soprano Sfogato Assoluta will come with a dirty price. I am Hammer

The Killer.

[bellafredina]

@puidehamster

..... BULLSHIT! But you're only a stinking filthy Romany .. we forgive you !!

[ferricheart]

OMG, this woman should

wear a burka ... she's sooo ugly!!!

Bad voice and she looks like a oversized naked mole rat.

[hammer55292]

@ferricheart Your MOTHER has too much cum and shit on her clothes, she smells like hell!! Yes, she does give a good $2.00 Blow-Job Special, swallowing and licking clean, but she has too much cum on her, she stinks!!

[ShemaleSow55292]

@hammer55292

Your MOTHER has too much cum and shit on her clothes, she smells like hell!! Yes, she does give a good $2.00 Blow-Job Special, swallowing and licking clean, but she has too much cum on her, she stinks!!

[gimlileskateur]

callas doesn't sing "well" properly, she is not techically right

but what makes her exceptionnal is the tone of her voice and the way she brings any intonation, any words to her and give it back with her soul

[Elisabetta611]

Her technique, her artistry, the way she phrases and colors each word....sublime. Her voice was unique. That, along with her artistry, made her great.

[Neanderthalgirl]

@Elisabetta611

AGREE

... If now still the voice were nice ethereally, maybe it would be too good to be true...

[huweeny]

@ferricheart Maria Callas was one of the women in the opera that actually became the person she was playing. If anything, she should be given credit for giving her everything to each roles she plays. It's not just her voice that made her- which, contrary to what you think, is spectacular- but rather the emotional impact she leaves the audience with. I think that's what made her. She wasn't just a singer, but she was an artist.

[ferricheart]

@huweeny

Thank you! I agree 100%!!!

That's what I try to say ... she was a phenomenon but not the ultimative singer!

I love Maria but not uncritically her voice!

Thank you again .... you're one of the few who is believably!

[altanotte]

She is Carmen.

[ferricheart]

@altanotte

If she is Carmen ... i'm the Opera-god!!

[Bee92iBella]

This is obviously spectacular but I prefer the tempo from her recording of Carmen.

[MagnolliaBelmont]

shes the diva she is a real artist Maria Callas

[horn0viola]

All these people going on about which singer is the best and insulting each other and the singers, who are you exactly? Who gave you the right to insult people or the right to represent them (misrepresent more like)? Please just stop it. They are all great singers who work(ed) hard and contribute(d) to the world of opera. So please respect all of them, especially if they're dead. This goes particularly to individuals such as shirley961 etc.

[lancelot1953]

@horn0viola

I agree with you, well said,

L

[Anoush23]

what a proud melody,what a proud woman!!!!

[lancelot1953]

Do we have so many opera experts on this forum to be able to ostracize a singer of Maria Callas' caliber? Her singing may be controversial but her blazing theatricality of her musicianship sets her apart from all other singers*. Do our eminent critics have any ideas of all the work, privation, & suffering that Ms Callas went through to achieve her fame? She taught at Julliard & inspired a generation of performers, Please, unless you have reached her fame, respect her sacrifice! L

*Michael Clive

[andreea94a]

@lancelot1953 Finally a normal person who appreciates what Callas really was:a DIVA

[ferricheart]

@lancelot1953

What a maudlin story! I makes me wanna puke!

'archieve her fame'??? Which fame?

Do you mean her shady fame as joke figure from yellow press?

But the crucial question is, what has she done for opera?

OK, she inspired the following generation but her Legacy is,

she brought LOUDNESS, SCREAMING, UGLINESS to the opera houses. Opera lost her Charme, Lightness and international reputation.

It's a mercy, that she lost her voice, otherwise opera would be clinically dead.

[halaluani]

@ferricheart Those who ran the opera houses and he people who attended them obviously disagree with you. You don't have to like her, but her talent speaks for itself in her accomplishments. Yes, she is a legendary opera singer known for her expressive dramatic soprano voice -- whether you agree or not. You make yourself look foolish and dull-witted insisting otherwise.

[ferricheart]

@halaluani

Keep your breath to cool your porridge ... chick.

You can speak only for USA. Those who run the opera houses are people from a third-world country of opera and inappropriate for a serious comparison.

In europe she was ONE OF MANY and totally forgotten since 30 years !!

[halaluani]

@ferricheart Are you suggesting people from "third world" countries are not educated&qualified]? Who do you mean? Rudolf Bing was from Austria&Germany. Opera houses succeed by delivering what the patrons want. They wanted Callas. How about proof she is forgotten in Europe instead of your biased opinion? Music historian, Dr. Rob't. Seletsky, in Opera Quarterly Vol. 20 #4 2004 wrote " ... the operatic artist [Callas] whose recordings outsell all other singers’ after fifty years."

[hammer55292]

@ferricheart Keep your breath to hold when your MOTHER is near, as she smells so badly, of shit and cum!! Yes, she's a good ol' whore, with her $2.00 Blow-Job Specials, swallowing and licking, but why in God's name does she smell so badly!! Tell her to try and wash some of that stink off her. God, does she stink!!!!

[ShemaleSow55292]

@hammer55292

Keep your breath to hold when your MOTHER is near, as she smells so badly, of shit and cum!!

God, does she stink!!!!

[hammer55292]

@ShemaleSow55292 Too late, it's no good what you post. I already got you first on your MOTHER, the German whore. Anything you cut and paste is worthless, it does not count. I sure do like fucking your MOTHER'S mouth though. She swallows it all, and then I piss on her back. Damn, what a good ol' whore your MOM is!!

[ShemaleSow55292]

@hammer55292

Your MOTHER hides the smell of shit in her underwear by using a lot of perfume. She still gives a good BLOW-JOB Special for $2.00. I particularly like it when I piss on her back, after making her swallow my load, and licking it clean. Yeah, your MOM sure is a good ol' whore!!!

[hammer55292]

@ShemaleSow55292 YOTR MOTHER, the GERMAN WHORE!!

[ShemaleSow55292]

@hammer55292

I almost collapsed with laughter when your MOTHER started to gag on my big load!! LMAO!!! She did finish though, licking my hog clean. What a good ol' whore your MOM is!! God bless her, she could suck a golf-ball through a garden hose!!

[hammer55292]

@ShemaleSow55292 YOUR MOTHER sucks my cock dry!! LOL!!

[Elisabetha611]

@hammer55292

hahahaaaa... your

MOTHER

and YOUR

DAUGHTER

ARE THE

GREATEST WHORES EVER!!!!!!

[hammer55292]

@Elisabetha611 Doesn't count, I started on your mother first. Your mom is a great whore, sucking dicks from coast to coast.

[Elisabetha611]

@hammer55292

It does not count, I started on your mother first. Only my statements against your MOTHER count. Only my cum in your dirty MOTHER'S mouth counts!! HA!HA!HA! I got you first, you lose! I will rub my shit in your MOTHER'S hair tonight!!

[bellafredina]

@PEDOhammer55292

.... do you know your

sexual problem? NO?

.... ask your daughter if

you fuck her from behind,

pissing in her mouth and

cumming in her hair.

Ask her, weather she is a good whore!!

[hammer55292]

@bellafredina NOPE. I only fuck your SISTER and MOTHER from behind, like the cawing monkeys that they are!! LMAO!! Your SISTER is so hairy, it's very troubling. I like mounting her from behind, it makes me feel like a great Silverback Gorilla!!

[barmanjoe]

@lancelot1953 I don't think I could have put it better. Thank you very very much!!!

[lancelot1953]

@barmanjoe

You are welcome!

My mother was a concert violonist. As a child, I had to spend many hours at the conservatory where she was teaching at. I saw the hours and hours that music and opera students had to practice, it was grueling.

Juilliard is an extremely competitive school.

Have a nice day.

L

[gzaenker]

@lancelot1953 yes, Maria was awesome, awesome. But it is Juilliard, not Julliard. Best regards, my friend, and it is a good thing that you comprehend the caliber of her.

[ComoLaFlorr]

this is beautiful i love this lady

[iValkure]

She doesn't even have to sing - just her acting it is a great experince: So live and true to characer..

[trumpaeter]

a great woman, a great voice.

thank you maria for the many wonderful moments that we experience today are still allowed.

[andreea94a]

The best soprano ever

[ferricheart]

@andreea94a

Can no-one see that she is the worst screecher of all opera singers. She breathes on her chest and doesn't use her diaphragm. She really isn't as good as everybody thinks, she has the typical western opera voice rather than the mellow Italian voice. I'm surprised her voice didn't run out sooner because of the way she sings on her throat, you can just hear the strain. Anyone who has been taught correctly will tell you this.

[andreea94a]

@ferricheart A person who sings on her throat as you say Callas did can't be heard in huge opera halls like the ones in London and Milan,because she/he doesn't have enough volume and also can't sing high notes like Callas did ...and let's not talk about the technique she had.If she didn't have a proper technique,she coulnd't have sung Dinorah,Elvira and Amina,along with Tosca and Butterfly.I study classical music and I know a few great opera singers,and they all admire Callas.

[andreea94a]

@ferricheart She was a music genius...and she still has haters...I can imagine in the '60's how many 'friends' she had

[MrFpam]

@ferricheart

Your arrogance and insensitivity is astonishing and depressing!

[ferricheart]

@MrFpam

YES, I'm THE OPERA-GOD!!! if Callas is Carmen!!!

[ilincaz]

Awsome!

[KAPNIZW]

The nature, could be the art .... and on the basis of this theory .... creates .... thus creates humans while giving each creation and a gift .....In  Maria gave the gift of voice, The years pass and this will never change .....!!!!

[romondesbert]

no need to sing like a fishmonger to be Carmen !

[zeeshanIsbd]

She is greatest soprano to ever live.

La divina!!!!

[belmanotre]

@zeeshanIsbd

You're right she is one of the Top5 who ever being recorded.

And you, my young friend from the hell, are the greatest arsehole who ever appeared on earth!

[uzytkownik1971]

Amazing technique?Where?She was ALWAYS singing her own nature,she wasn't good taugt by de Hidalgo so it became soon she had to sing mezzo roles and her voice was shaky and still uneven with awful vibrato.Don't offense"other opera singers at their best".

[Horseshoe4441]

This is sad. Watching her go out there and sing with horrible high notes. Very sad but very uplifting to see her at least try on stage.

[chimney1993]

why is it that callas was the more popular then? have some respect

[chimney1993]

yeah. have some respect for the dead. you're one of those sad lifeless people who sit and touch themselves all day arent you?

[shirly961]

@chimney1993 Respect for the dead but no respect for whore to Onassis.

[chimney1993]

who the hell is onassis.

[KKKKKho]

@shirly961

ma inculati un cipresso!!!

[andreea94a]

@shirly961 you're retarded

[emu1949]

shirly961: FUCK YOURSELF an shut up

[OperaBohemian]

If you're deaf...

[andreea94a]

@shirly961 When Netrebko is the best soprano,pigs will fly.She can't sing high C's without yelling

[Horseshoe4441]

Her whole body is shaking dreadfully. She was an ugly voice for Greece.

[chimney1993]

"ugly voice" *sneezes* sorry, im allergic to shit

[gregpko]

Bravissimo Callas
