Different (in a very refreshing way). Love the scenes in the video and she has a very sweet voice but I think it could be better without such strong backing vocals.
@seektheforce@seektheforce She is using her voice(s) to convey emotion through the music. It is not to be taken as if it were a personal experience of hers. Listen to the beauty and forget about the male/female POV. I personally like when the original POV is left intact. The singer takes on that of a storyteller as opposed to first person. Women do this, men don't. I guess it's less sexually complicated for a woman to simply story-tell than it is for a man.
@seektheforce It's not sexist;it's just true. Due to societal constraints, a man is much more concerned with whether he is viewed as homosexual; therefore he would definitely rearrange the words of a piece like Un Bel Di, which was originally written for a woman. Women don't have to do that. A woman can sing Nessun Dorma as is and simply be a storyteller. As far as 'sexist', you asked whether she was lesbian. Again try to appreciate the beauty of it and not so much the correctness of it .
For some odd reason, the part after 2:40 does not make sense for me... The beginning of the aria is kind of heartbroken and exhilarating, but the last bit is just too optimistic for me;)
at 1.22 she sings lower than she is supposed to, it should be F G F, she sings at least a semitone lower, those kind of mistakes are really annoying, but then again everyone who watches this hasn't got the sheetpaper to check...
@lilacinsdThe original piece for tenor is in Bb minor; therefore, the correct notes at 1:22 would be F, Gb, and Eb. However, she sings this piece a Major Second down in C# minor making the notes she sings D#, E, and C#, respectively. Whatever sheet music you are looking at is very wrong.
I wish more arias recieved this kind of video treatment...but the backup singers are beyond lame. This also sounds totally wrong. It's way too serene..."cielo, si puo morir" means "heavens, if i die". Listen to a tenor sing it and you will see what I mean.
there are no back-up singers, it's her voice, but delayed. that effect is used too much in this here, in my opinion.. but beautiful video and her voice is wonderful.
N0elleLaBelle, what do you mean there are no back up singers? There is vocal harmony! It's not delay. It might be her recording over herself but the vocal harmonies sound like back-up singers to me. I'm talking about in the beginning and at mama si mama...anyway, it's kinda cheesey and inappropriate. She does have a nice voice, but I like this better as a tenor aria.
The introduction is Albinoni. How insulting to Donizetti. Is the original piece not good enough to announce itself?
"M'ama" -- "She loves me". This Izzy woman clearly can't read basic Italian, a prerequisite for opera performance.
This arrangement and production is bloated, their values serving only the carriage of the voice - and NOT the music, as is artistically correct. Example: overdubbed vocal harmonies?
Perhaps 'Izzy' should become a popstar. Opera is not her bag. All respect due.
Who said she's doing opera? This is a tribute to a famous opera aria, arranged in pop style, absolutely nothing wrong with that. You should be more open-minded.
Donizetti would roll over in his grave if he knew this was being done to his composition. Tranzenic was completely right in comparing this to Sarah Brightman (and that is not a good thing). Izzy does have talent, but she is not fit for the opera world, especially when singing an aria composed for a tenor. Geez, the aria is about the tenor realizing that the girl he loves from afar shed a tear for him! Unless Izzy is in fact a man, she should not sing this. Izzy, good luck in your endeavors.
Donizetti would approve 100%. Izzy is not only popularizing his work but opera in general. As for your close-mindedness, many female artists sing love songs dedicated to women and male artists to men jeez, you're insulting both the gay & the artistic communities.
If you trick these elitist keyboard warriors and played an authentic piece in a music video, they will actually try to find flaws on even the masters. It's ridiculous how people try to shut out enjoying themselves at the attempt of inflating their own egos.
" I think it is one of the most beautiful video's I have seen" is a matter of subjective tastes - it is delightful and coherent, perfect in details, 4 sure. We know her: Izzy is just GREAT.
Having read the Italian esthetic treatise on kitsch (a major trend of contemporary art), I believe serRudyll is not depreciating at all the video, but she\he's showing the other side of the coin: all its coherence points to an out-of-time, anti-modern world of fantasy. This is the Truth of the video
Izzy WAS wonderful, her voice is astounding, and she's superior to Katherine Jenkins. who I think is great, but Izzy is superb. She's disappeared, what happened, anyone know?
@mtenor I absolutely agree with you! Who is this Izzy, by the way? Singing such a famous male aria in this squeaking voice....Strange how people are not afraid of doing anything, anything at all...It is just like "Casta Diva" sang by Ricky Martin, isn't it?!
i completely agree absolutely awful i actually know she studied at guildhall of music and dropped out through lack of voice....her father is a record producer....say no more
Voz excelente.A interpretação ficaria melhor se eliminassem os coros pois a voz de Izzy não precisa desse suporte.
