  • It is REALLY unfair to comapre pop vocalists to operatic vocalists. There is little to no crossover because they are in two completely different leagues.

  • Jahahaha ,what Gaga had to do here .lmfaol !

  • Hahaha, crazy video... Joan is my favorite coloratura! Brava Dame Sutherland! <3

  • Stop with the hate, Gaga was just some random music to end the video, maybe because the uploader likes her (as I do :)), nobody's saying she has the same vocal abilities as Joan. Maybe she is one of the mentioned "our fav" who can't destroy the world like Joan!

  • What is gaga doing here!

  • Good, but, come on, Callas 1st (I commented this and I know that all Joan's fans will hate me lol)

  • You can see how much she enjoyed that top D in the "Norma" excerpt, and she would have loved your quirky tribute, as did I.

  • @aalg4c I was unimpressed with Gaga at the end :|

  • Comment removed

  • the very best.. yes La Stupenda

  • Jaja, I loved your video. I love La Stupenda, best singer ever... but, Lady Gaga?!?!

  • !O O! OH SNAP!!! that was epic!  O

  • LOL...a well-deserved and surprinsingly funny tribute to La Stupenda....and yes..those notes are planet-shattering!!!!!!!!!!!! Long live Dame Joan in the hearts and ears of devoted and serious opera lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Simplemente maravilloso!!! :)

  • This was perfectly fine till you added gaga. I kinds got upset, that's like bringing Madea to Queen Elizabeth. It doesn't work. She has extraordinary vocal talent though ;)

  • 0:57-O_O I'm speechless..that's..incredible­!!!

  • Never, no one, better, ever. Melts me inside. Thank you, Dame Joan. Thank you.

  • When she hits that first D, the hair on the back of my neck stands up! Marvellous singer!

    

  • God save the world!!!

  • Hmm - a bit like the person who posts jokes on the internet with a caption saying "You'll love this!" before the punch-line. Without the captions this would be fun to watch. :)

  • Dont try to make her look thin at the end damn it!

  • thankyou joan sutherland

  • WHAT NOTE IS THAT!!!!!!

  • Funny, funny,  funny!!!! So true..that voice is unbelievable...

  • Gaga ending was totally pathetic....but LMFAO that was amazing!!!!

  • The poster must be checking our Gaga reflex.

  • Excuse me, but, what the heck is Gaga doing here with Joan Sutherland?

  • My God she is incomparable. Her voice is beyond reproach in every way. 

  • such vocal power!

  • The video was really good and fun until GAGA ruined it all at the end ... Please remove GAGA from this video! ;-)

  • Love love love this, made me laugh out loud. Going to pass around to my other singer friends. :)

  • LOL!! Great video! Lady Gaga kinda screwed it at the end but I'm just gonna ignore that and leave with the taste of Sutherland's magnificent voice wiping out the human race. Loved the images of the world exploding! Well done!

  • I forgot to say... REBECCA BLACK is the best singer only Justin can beat her.

    It's friday friday lol

  • hi Ronald, oh ok i just read your note, so you're not serious. sorry too. i dont like to offend anyone. lets not fight. hahaha. lets just enjoy, but help each other promote the legacie of all real singers. all real singers like sutherland, callas, sills, opera , soul and jazz artists etc. and legendary pop like streisand, carpenter, and soul like aretha etc lets promote, those non musical items like gaga and bieber, let us critic so they wake their sense up.

  • @reginabellestar how dare you can compare all of them with the oh mighty Justin Bieber ( I swear to god I never heard him singing lol, I just know he does exist). Justin Bieber is like the last cup of diet coke on ice with a lemon of the Sahara's Desert. He isn't a gift from god, he is the sec Jesus. And Lady Gaga she is a true artist, she never copied anyone ...NEVER hahahahahaha

  • to continue in the end let us just work together to bring back sincerity and musicality in music. real voices regardless of body types or looks. if you lkike bieber, there are many twink hustlers in the web and out there, if you like Gaga, there are many drag performers who can easily outdo her. if you like spears, same, lipsynch is the key, and Madz had her time. Reality Tv not focused on talent is Crap like jersey shore. Sad world now, talents just go to oblivion.

  • to continue oleta adams, chaka khan etc. there are many real voices and of course in opera that is unprecedented many real voices, sutherland, caballe, sills, hallstein, korjus, nillson, schwarzkopf, gruberova, jo , dessay many many. regardless if their technique are faulty at least they truly sing. gaga and bieber, perry, rihanna etc are all gimmickry, no vocal artistry, no sincerity. nowadays anyone can steal the spotlight. even us, look at us, we fight. we dont sleep over these. in the end

  • RonaldBarone Gaga is not a real real musician compared to real voices. She is only a fashion statement. Britney hardly sings live, know that. Madonna is a pop legend but let us stop putting pop ahead of classical. Classical is serious singing and music. Well i guess you really dont know that.

  • @reginabellestar in the name of god... did you really think I was been serious?

  • @reginabellestar Madonna is a voiceless pop legend with 0 voice, her intelligence made her go to singing teachers that have made her very tiny and insignificant instrument the best that it could be... wich is not much vocally. When she dared "Evita" she was put to shame, she couldn't handle the tesitura Elaine Paige and Patti LuPone could; they had to lower it so she could try to sing it. As a pop "artist" Madonna is matchless but as a singer... well it's on the same level as her acting.

  • Not bad but La Stupida had no chance against Callas, this clip is pale and pathetic next to Callas' E-Flat in Aida.

  • @NEBESHIKU NO, Sutherland has better and stable voice compared to Callas. Callas is a better actress and interpreter. Callas brings dramatic orgasm so to speak but Sutherland is the better voice and singer. Truth. I think its about time we stop comparing the two or putting Callas ahead of every one.

  • how dare you can compare someone to Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga is the best singer of all times ... here is my list of the best of the best

    1- Lady Gaga

    2- Madonna

    3- Britney Spears

    4- Maria Callas

    5- kiri te kanawa

    6- Montserrat Caballe

    7- Joan Sutherland ( she is the last cause she had very poor technique, no high notes, even Susan Boyle can sing better than her)

  • @RonaldBarone yeah, you basically just failed at life.

  • @bcom11 LOL

  • @RonaldBarone LMAO! Lady Caca, Madonna and White Trash Spears have cero voices and are really bad pop singers. None of them would dare an Armida, Vestale, Lucia, Lakme, Traviata, Norma. Thanks for the laugh! LMAO! LMAO! LMAO! LMAO!

  • @NEBESHIKU the sad part is... some ppl really think that I am been serious about it. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? lol

    so in one hand we have a woman that dedicate her whole life to music at the other hand some media product. Dammmmmm... whos the best? lol Sure I am saying the Lady Gaga is the one dedicated he whole life to music lol

  • @RonaldBarone Lady Caca has dedicated her life to ripe-off others' work, she must be so happy that Leigh Bowery is no longer is this world to sue the shit out of her for copying him.

  • @RonaldBarone oh my god what a list. i agree in the inclusion of numbers 4 5 6 and 7 in any possible order. but number 1 and 3 and somehow madonna, not in that league. Probably to you. Real singing and artistry does not requeire choreography, fancy costumes and make up. just pure voice. it can be a simple beauty as Karen carpenter, as jazzy as ella fitzgerald, as smokey as sarah vaughn as touching as mahalia jackson as heavenly as minnie riperton and deniece williams or a suave as anita baker,

  • @RonaldBarone lol, you've got to be kidding!!!! or you are a feeble minded!

  • Nice vid!

  • Awesome! I found it very funny and I'm a Joan Sutherland fan.

  • How the hell people dare to compare OPERA SINGERS WITH POP SINGERS I DONT GET IT....BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VOCAL TECHINQUES EACH OTHER .... I THINK COMPARE CLASSICAL VS POP DOESNT HAVE ANY SENSE...

  • @MysticFairy7 I would say how people 'dare' to compare, it's just pointless. different techniques and training. waste of time and letters typed.

  • The First D is literally unbelievable. She must had had amplifiers for breakfast that day. It's the only reasonable explanation.

  • Cute Idea for a bad video. Belongs on Comedy Central

    PS The internet attracts a lot of people who can't write without "f#ck"

  • Cute Idea for a bad video. Belongs on Comedy Central

  • @kushka43 

  • awful !!!

  • @lababoc Awful....Why? Have you no sense of humour?

  • boring :c INVA MULA KILL HER

  • cute idea for a video.

    however I wonder why so many people equate a person doing something very well with destruction rather than construction. I think she augmented the world, she did not diminish it.

    "blowing the competition out of the water"

    It's a bit like comparing sex to murder: "I'm going to f*ck your brains out"

    It takes a strong person to be gentle. It takes a weak person to injure.

  • that voice just never gets old..truly "The Voice of the Century"

  • Its amazing I love Joan <3

  • GOD DAMN!

  • i love sutherland but ...this is so funny~hahaha~

    i think if joan sutherland know this she will laugh too~

  • I JUST HAVE WASTED MY TIME...FOR DESTROYNG WORLD NOTES LISTEN TO CALLAS

  • @simisimi9 Get a life! If you only like Maria,dont listen.

  • @finners62 I DO HAVE A LIFE, IT ONLY HAPPENS THAT , AS A OPERA FAN, THE MORE I LISTEN OTHER SINGERS, THE MORE I LIKE CALLAS !!!!!

  • @simisimi9 We all love Callas but we dont all need to trash everyone else. Like i said get a life! There are several people such as you who make it thier lifes aim to trash everyone else....it pretty pathetic.

  • @finners62 I DO NOT THINK YOU DESERVE AN ANSWER BUT I REALLY DO HAVE A GREAT LIFE , BUT AS AN OPERA FAN I LISTEN TO THE MORE SINGERS I CAN , IF I DO NOT THINK SOME OF THEM DO IT WELL, I DO NOT THINK WHY I SHOULD KEEP QUIET, THAT DOES NOT MEAN I TRASH PEOPLE.....COMPARISONS ARE HATEFUL, I AGREE WITH THAT.......ONLY WITH THAT

  • @finners62 HA,HA....SO THAT IS THE AIM OF MY LIFE??...PLEASE....HA,HA...GET A SHRINK!!!!!

  • @simisimi9 i better correct my their spelling typo before you trash that as well.

  • @simisimi9 I'm a fan of Callas but people need to get over her she was not that good....

  • That's mixed voice you moron.

  • @hermygagala as it seems you have a large knowlidge in the matter, whta is mixed voice?? or is another stupid commentary to make sutherland seem a real artist??...which is not obviously!!!

  • @simisimi9 Nice English! Not

  • FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • This is SO funny!!!Thanks!

  • Mariah Carey can do that.

  • @Raimundo91 only with a microphone shoved deep het throat she is not that stupid and would never dare opera.

  • @Raimundo91 Mariah carry has poor vocal tech... and her upper registers sound horrid... i will give her credit she does sound ok at the bottom

  • sorry for the multiple post.... laptop was freezing

    

  • Minnie Ripperton and Beyonce are both voices that are well trained. both have great technique. In Minnie's song "Here we go" you can hear her sing with very clear diction the words Here We Go...in registers above F6.

  • Minnie Ripperton and Beyonce are both voices that were well trained and both have great technique. In Minnie's song "Here we go" you can hear her sing with very clear diction the words Here We Go... in registers above F6.

  • ROFLMAO!!! Such a witty video! I think if Dame Joan Sutherland had been able to see this, she would have sent in a video response of her singing those three notes live on camera, edited with world explosions like you did here...thanks for the great humor!! ^_^

  • Gaga is an ok singer, regardless of type, but you cant compare to Joan Joan is one of the great female Opera voices ever, gaga isnt one of the greatest pop voices, and no she doesnt have a 4 octave range thank you there are many great pop voice. Beyonce has 3 some change octave range in full voice,she has tight technique, control and etc. the bad thing one could say about Beyonce's voice is that its thin at the top. i feel that doesnt mean much consider she is mezzo and she tops off at a B6.

  • @puckus21 I don't think anyone's comparing Gaga to Joan here, the ending was just random music.

  • @WestVoice i was replying to the comments stating that gaga has a 4 octave range. "4octaves" is often a marketing gimmick use in pop music to boost an artist credibility much like Mariah Carry in the 90s, who also doesn't have a 4 octave range.Concerning Joan, she, Mado Robins and measha brueggergosman are my favorite sopranos.although Measha still needs alot of work but i feel she is well on her way to being the great soprano of my generation.

  • @WestVoice Background music is never random, it's always chosen to make a point. In this instance you asked if someones favorite could sing like Joan and then play Gaga.

    If you watch any film or TV programme any music is always poignant and selected for a reason.

  • @WestVoice Well actually I think you intended it to make people compare them. What do you else mean by "Can your fav do that?" and then some gaga music?

  • @puckus21

    Bahahaha this isn't the place to talk about "Gaga"

  • @strauss12345 if you read the other comment you would see that i was replying to other comments made... Also vocal music is vocal music... and any sing voice is worth speaking of in a covno about voice

  • @puckus21

    You just answered yourself. It doesn't matter what you were replying to, because you just recognized that you believe that "any sing voice is worth speaking in a covno about voice".

    No: not true. "Lady" Gaga, who is clearly anything but a lady, sings electopop and her voice is highly edited by autotune and other such software. This is commercial "music", if you can call it that.

    Joan Sutherland sings Opera, which so happens to be an art.

  • @strauss12345 I would agree with you on that bit, but there are many pop voices that are truly as amazing as some of the great opera voices.

  • @puckus21

    I beg to differ. They are just untrained voices singing a catchy tune. It can be appealing, but it isn't an art.

  • While I understand that you recognize that Joan is a better singer, this still is not the appropriate medium to compare a plastic, bad, computer-generated singer to an artist.

  • @puckus21 u r dilusional the range of an opera singer and any pop singer can't be compared. Opera singers sing live over an orchestra with out the help of the microphone and ALL pop singers have the mike held deep inside their throats to get some audiable sound out.

  • @NEBESHIKU ... untrue Beyonce is a rather powerful mezzo, with a good 3 octaves in full voice. Yes in FULL VOICE.

    I challenge you to name one opera soprano that as much control as minnie ripperton in her upper registers.

  • @puckus21 as i've said: you are DILUSIONAL. ... and on every performance she gives Beyonce has the mike deep down her throat, no surprise there since she is an expert having things down her throat. Please direct me to any performace beyonce has given live and with out a microphone. Any soprano has more control over her upper register than ripperton.

  • @NEBESHIKU " no surprise there since she is an expert having things down her throat" O.O

  • @puckus21 i don't like so much lady gaga but she really has a good voice, when she wasn't so known i think there are proofs... but with her songs she doens't need to sing very well only some sounds and it's ok, but her voice is good

  • haha this is funny

  • Dude, music isn't a sport.

  • LOL

    LMFAO

    LUL

    ROFL

  • There is more to singing opera then either a Eb6 or even an F6. Please people, try to hear some of the other notes too. The world can be destroyed by many other notes, provided they are sang with authority. Try some Ewa Podles, Christa Ludwig, or Ebe Stignani low notes. They are beautifully rich and satisfaying.

  • @ god you are so boring and predictable, each time coming on to make negative remarks about Sutherland. If you don't like her kindly refrain from making derogatory comments all the time.

  • @Ariadne7710 God forbid you should ever get a sense of humour!

  • @finners62 Hahaha:))) How could I? There is none left!! You have cornered the market in it:))

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • I adore her.

  • Propaganda

  • hahahahautsch!

  • Nice!!!!!!!!))))))))

  • Hey guys, i found something on facebook.

    If you go to the search bar and type in notes then space and push enter, it will take you to this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, Callas can do that :)

  • @xDemiBeex I have nothing against Gaga, it's just random background music :P

  • @xDemiBeex In no way does Gaga have a 4 octave range! No, no, no. Try playing 4 octaves on a piano. Gaga can maybe cover two of those octaves.

  • @operamagnus Well that's what I read.

  • YES! My fav CAN do that!!!!

  • I LOVED THIS MORE THAN ANY VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I LOVE JOAN SUTHERLAND AND I LOVE YOU FOR CREATING THIS GEM MAKE ANOTHER !

  • I think that the best note to destroy the world would be her F6 at the Mozart's Zauberflöte.

    Thanks!

  • Was that not an Eb6 at the end of Spargi?

  • Callas + Sutherland = detonation of the UNIVERSE O.O

  • @violinistx100 I agree!! Add Birgit Nillsson and the Galaxy the ENTIRE GALAXY GOES BYE BYE!

  • i'd never thought i would have heard my two favourite singers in the same video :)

  • Bravo! I enjoyed every second of your clip!

  • :-)

  • Great video, thanks for sharing !

  • the world is like "no! it's over 9000!" when Joan Sutherland sings

  • Very funny!

  • this is brilliant! who would have thought the end would come from down under!? AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

  • Weird!! but i like it, lady gaga??

  • Великая певица!

  • Breniznit "เกรียน" จบ รู้เรื่อง !

  • @tcben Um, i don't speak whatever that language is.So i cannot even respond properly : /

  • @Breniznit It means troll in Thai, which of course you're not. I almost pissed myself laughing at your christina comment.

  • @theLabradorite OH! LOL ty for clearing it up.I didn't know what was going on.

  • Thankyou! This video definately puts Gaga and all other wanabes in their place :D

  • BRAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOVE THE VIDEO THANKS

  • @FeelinMinnesota

    I am well aware of her existence, but Joan herself has talked about having an under developed chest voice...

  • @IloveArethaFranklin She CHOSE to use it like that, there are recordings where she uses a stronger low register, it was a choice to preserve her voice. Listen to her Desdemona, or her "in mia man" in 1972, or her Santo di Patria, or her Wagner album.

  • Joan Sutherland possessed a brilliant vocal technique unlike Maria Callas had many vocal problems and vocal decline.Surf to Wikipedia and search for Maria Callas.Read how people reviewed about her singing.

  • Best soprano ever recorded along with Callas and Flagstad. NO ONE could and can sing high notes like her. NO ONE. And NO ONE will ever again. The huge thick sound can't be reproduced by anyone else. Everyone else's high note thin (even callas').

  • Video starts at 0:00 and ends 1:00. After that there are some weird noises at the end not sure who that is or WAS because Joan just slayed her lol.

  • It's amazing that she had this much power and her voice was still under-developed.

  • @IloveArethaFranklin Underdeveloped? Do you have ANY idea who Joan Sutherland was? Ask any opera singer about Joan Sutherland and one word you'll never hear is underdeveloped.

  • haha! Very comical :PP Loved it! Was Lady Gaga at the end the supposed "fav" of most people :P ?

  • @killerbunny123123 Oh, not really, Gaga's not an opera singer haha... just some random music :P

  • @Breniznit LMAO!

  • Whoever thinks that Christina comes within a million....No!... a trillion miles!! ....Have obviously never, ever, understood, even "Janet and John" xx

  • @Breniznit LMBFBO!

  • Comment removed

  • @Breniznit LISTEN!! JOANSUTHERLAND RULES EVERY DIMENSION AND ALL UNIVERSES CHRISTINA IS GREAT AND ALL THAT......BUT LETS GET THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER PUT THEM ON A BIG OPERA STAGE (with NO michrophone) AND JOAN WILL BLOW HER HEAD RIGHT OFF WITH ONLY HER HIGH BFLAT.....I DOUBT MISS A EVEN HAS ABFLAT!

  • @MrStpendouslvforjo Mr Stupido,I WAS KIDDING lol

  • @MrStpendouslvforjo And actually Joan possibly won't blow Christina's head off at an opera stadium.Joan died,did you not know this?

  • Dont be stupid, you cant compare a pop singer with an opera singer. Opera singers destroy every pop star you can mention, even a 5 octave vocal range singer like Mariah Carey

  • @ernest671 Fuck,you bitches are slow this week. I WAS KIDDING!! I don't even like Xtina, I was making fun of her deluded fans!

  • lol

  • @Breniznit hehe I knew you were joking to start with, some people, hey!

  • @Breniznit lol, reading through randomly I thought who is he talking about?? I thought this meant Deutekom... then I thought, wait, Ludwig? Then... oh... "that" Christina. ok.

  • @Drelnis LOLOL so many people have taking the comment seriously :D

  • @Breniznit You should do stand-up.

  • @Breniznit Who?

  • @Breniznit she`s so flat.. grab some years
