She had a great voice, but pity she sang flat most of the time. The voice never projected as well as it should have. And her public persona is totally false. Not a nice woman,
@chueca ..... are you serious Jessye Norman has a fantastic voice stop hating that woman has never been flat on stage!!!!!! OMG get a life find something to do please. Jessye Norman is one of the greatest performers of our time I would only home to be a gracious and professional as her.
Thanks for uploading this. I love her voice but she also talks so nicely, so intelligent and articulate. I wish I could speak English like she does. And in many other languages, like French, she speaks perfectly. What a talent!

Bernadette is right; she may be agreat singer, but she is a diva in the worst sense of the word. an affected person with a phoney public persona; (though there are a few divas about whom that could be said). I don´t think someone´s talent in the end justifies shoddy behaviour,And so many famous artists are so greedy as regards fees; denying funds for grass roots musical activity;
Dear Bernardette2323 it is so stipud from you to speack about Jessye that way.she is a legend in live and who the fuck are you to speack about her behaviors.she can do what ever she wants how she wants and as long as she wants.she knows how to get people together and give them most amazing and wonderfull time in those lifes.

She had in the past a great voice and a great presence on the stage, no doubt about it, but I've worked with her in Spain and, believe me, she is the most stupid, difficult and whimsicall diva I have worked with ( and I've worked with many ). Nothing to do with Mrs. Horne, Grace Bumbry or the gracious Fiorenza Cossotto. Everybody who worked with her in that event still remember the nightmares and her ridiculous behavior so typical of aging divas who do not want to acknowledge their vocal decay.
you are such a fool. pick on the black women, why don't you. listen idiot, these great women work in an all white environment and get disrespected by even the most junior white people who work around them. they think black people should walk behind them with a smile on their faces. they can not bare to see an assertive black person at the top. you go ahead and do a "rain dance" and open doors for white people. these women are the biggest stars and should be treated with respect.
WOOOOO calm down. I am black. L M A O you are funny. Maybe, you meant to reply to Bernardette2323. I LOVE both Kathleen and Jessye. I think they are amazing vocalists regardless of what people might say about either of them (in particular Kathleen *cough*).
Check out my videos. Alot of 'black' people on there - including me =D

Nice interview. Thank you for sharing. Miss Norman has done a great job as curator (and also performer) of the Honor! Festival.
