[MisterPapageno]

I don't know a more stupid singer than this clown!

[peque1204]

She moves funny.

[immature0916]

this is horrid and also funny she looks and sounds a mess!!! lmfao!!!!everything is off technique vocals no control what so ever breathing is everywhere she lacks musicianship the dress is horrendous and im not gonna start on that HAIR!!!! EPIC FAIL!! all around

[Karlemann66]

It might be "fun". It is definitely not a good interpretation, technically, vocally, musically. So for all the crowd not interested in music but in appearance and a superficial "cool" behavior it is presumably just perfect. No problem with that. Suum cuique !

[MrCharles0307]

Wer kann diesen Temperamentbolzen nicht mögen. Sie ist wie ein Sturm auf der Bühne. Dagegen ist selbst Cecilia nur ein laues Lüftchen. Danke Simone. Ich hoffe, dich noch oft zu hören und zu sehen.

[handeltenor]

I Love Simone!!! She Came to NY last Year (Lincoln Center) and performed a Handel Oratorio and then Came to the Lobby for a Drink after the Show. She's also a really really Cool Girl!!! Thanks Simone. Wir Leben Sich!!!

[mrantiquedealer]

[perles75]

I think for this kind of event (a fundraising gala, not a concert in an opera hall) a bit of liberty in the presentation of the piece is allowed, so I don't mind the sometimes too jerky movements and funny expressions.

Kermes has an opaque zone just before the chest register (see 4:56) and somewhere in the upper part (the acute note at 4:12) and the fast ascending scales sometimes sound blurred, so vocally not impeccable but a nice show :)

[Sorrentodellesirene]

@leprincebeaumont: Non penso che la Kermes pretenda di cantare True Barocco. Concordo che la tecnica manca completamente anche se la voce è bella. Io la invidio tantissimo perchè sembra divertirsi come pochi! Sarà un Rockkettara ma permettimi che quando sono depresso vedendola torno a sorridere?? E non è poco....

[barronpeeper]

horrible performance

[gabrilas2007]

does she need to dance like if it wa a pop song???

[k2wax]

Outstanding performance

[TheAleph74]

I love how she uses her whole body as an instrument... Brava!!

[fstyns]

what a horrible performance! just no taste

[BimmelBimmel]

Natürlich, warum soll man keinen Spass haben, das hat auch keiner gesagt! Aber wenn dann die Koloraturen schlampig gesungen werden und ihr vor lauter Hüpfen und Grimassen die Luft ausgeht, ist das weder schön anzuhören, noch schön anzuschauen!

[leprincebeaumont]

Buona coloratura; peccato che i suoni fissi o stimbrati o poveri di suono siano una miriade! Penso che la Kermes sia l'esempio perfetto della odierna degenerazione del repertorio barocco, ridotto ormai a mero pretesto similbartoliano di esibizione canora, senza però che le epigone possiedano le immense qualità del loro modello.

[SandyRiver24]

what the fuck it this shit?

[SingDude]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE HER!!!! The most exciting singer to come along in years, with talent and technique to spare. I'd love to see her live.

[BWV1906]

she is sooo unonventional...LOVE HER!...she swings....girl got that jazz in her:)

[drroyster101]

EPIC!!!!

[lalagonegaga]

Wow, she just does her own thing and doesn't give a damn what anyone might say... And she's just AMAZING doin' it! Luv her! XD

[sebastien1chartry]

La partition n'est pas du tout respectée.. Elle a changé tout .. Les accords!! la partition.. Mais ça donne tout de même quelque chose de beau, mais les trésors que les compositeurs nous ont laissé sont quand meme mieu, je trouve :)

[Anibaal]

bueno todo lo que quieran, le pone presencia en el escenario, pero le cuesta bastante llevar una línea prolija de canto.

[mradaChris]

She is so awesome!

[primohomme]

She needs to fire the gays who did her hair and dressed her. But she sings great. I have the feeling her low register is not real (almost spoken) because there's a weakness in the low passagio, but overall pretty awesome.

[soldier1286]

Gays don't commit such crimes!

[elballroom]

SIMPLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA!!!!!!

[Zorocastes73]

Diese Frau ist unglaublich! Ich konnte sie im November in Berlin kennenlernen und es war fantastisch. Sie hat so viel Temperament und Humor und eine große Stimme!! Simone Kermes zu erleben ist ein Fest! Sie ist Lava!

[JulietEmily23]

She's certainly entertaining.

[alexmacias]

She's NEVER boring. I adore her. Her latest album is just awesome!

[divopera]

irregardable et laid comme tout !

[sfox2842]

Chacun son mauvais goût en quelque sorte! La voix, simplement la voix...

[mperciun]

La joie de la musique et la perfection allemande!

Un vraie "Nigel Kennedy" parmis les sopranes avec une culture musicale inegalable. Bravissimo!

[lostintheNET1]

Finally a true ROCK star, with divine voice,....  :-)

[AiTaiwandeRen]

She's fab! Why not have fun?

[mezzosoprano84]

Kézaco???

Que signifient ces trémoussements ridicules?

La voix est superbe alors qu'a-t-elle besoin de danser et de sautiller?

ça gâche le plaisir!

Mais je crois que Madame Kermes est coutumière du fait!!!

[sfox2842]

Oui, bien sûr la voix est est superbe! Je ne vois pas en quoi ces balancements vous agacent mezzosprano84, Simone est à son aise, elle le montre... et le public est conquis. J'aime bien cette petite folie là, loin d'un conservatisme de bon aloi... En revanche les tenues vestimentaires devraient être revues, je vais en parler à son agent!
