Ok so she has a pretty voice but not for classical music. She needs to finish her phrases and not cut words to take a breath. Also that random riff wasnt needed, it just threw me off .
i hate when my vocal coach says this....but her vowels sound like shit. it has its moments but mostly it's just not classically correct at all so i don't like it whatsoever
She is a pop singer. It's not her job to get all the pronunciations down. She did a beautiful job and put this wonderful piece of music out to the public eye. I have been performing this piece for years now. I love it with all my being and I am completely happy that someone as talented and well-known as Jewel has performed it and did it justice. Stop hating on her over tiny things. There is nothing worse than a music snob.
I agree with Desigovia. She is not saying, 'Look at me, I can sing this as well as anyone'; she is saying, 'This is glorious, gorgeous music that is worth singing at any time and by anyone, because it - and singing it - means something'.
@jadebluek She was performing in her own show. It would have been silly for her to dress up for this one song. I've been to a number of her shows and her audience truly appreciate the different flavors she adds to her performances. Jewel's a great entertainer :)
beatifully done but you'd think she'd at least respect it and everyone by wearing something a little more for the occassion rather than what she wore, like she was at a farm or something.
@Phoaenix I'm not entirely certain as to how you meant that, but I'm going to assume you meant well. If I were to post my version of this song, I would definitely welcome a constructive compliment.
I mean she isn't classically trained at all, but props to her for trying something outside of the pop realm. Classical singing feels so good when it's done right!

Maybe not the most technically precise interpretation, its so wonderful to see mainstream artists like Jewel exposing such wonderful music to audiences who would have otherwise neglected it to give it a second look.
Wow, I totally got additional respect for Jewel for attempting this song. I always liked her unique voice and style and was shocked when I searched for this song and her video popped up! Good for her to trying it, and sure, she isn't singing it like an opera singer would, but I think her voice is much more beautiful and trained than people give her credit (probably due to the style of her songs). I'm classically trained and this song is no piece of cake to sing. Go Jewel!
Who cares if she is not classical trained or whatever the fuck...UNDOUBTELY, she is one of the best singer of OUR generation and we should respect for what she does...country, classical, pop, folk, yodel, whatever...she is TALENTED and she doesnt required autotune on her records...this is for STRAWBERRYGALORE and KE6GWF...quit been critical...at least she is on TV, and you are not! THANK U
She really kicked it for a non classically trained singer . awesome. but who knows she just may have some classical training . WOW, I remember singing this many years ago among many others. I still love classical music, Awesome . :)
all these "experts" on how it sounds so bad, she dont hold her mouth right or her breathing is wrong. but none of these people post their own video of this song. where is it? the only thing i can say to you haters is, Shut it!! or post a video.
I hate that she sounds like a little girl then holds her voice in her throat at other times and I don't feel like she ever sounds like she is supposed to in order to sing opera. blech!
You seem to be criticizing a singer messing up a song and not realizing that the things you are complaining about are the very difficult vocal stylings of a great singer.
Go listen to "Who will save your soul".
She doesn't sing "properly", which is what makes her so refreshing to listen too.
Complain all you want, but she is still better than you! :)
@ke6gwf Um, actually I've been trained and it's not that difficult to not sound like a three year old. honestly, I don't know how she got a record deal.
If you have been trained and can not understand how she got a record deal for singing folk and pop music, then you should maybe try exposing yourself to some training that does not involve sticks shoved anywhere! :)
I think she did a great job on this song, but then I am not trying to compare her to Pavarotti!
Music is about a lot more than skill and training, it's about conveying emotion to the listener, and Jewel is very good at that. I am sorry can't just enjoy music.
Respond to this video... it takes a certain type of person to sing opera. she is not one of them. I took this song to contest and got everything in the 1 section. If you don't know what that means its superior. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to music.
She was singing an aria that is from an opera but is a perfectly legitimate song by itself. This is a pretty common occurrence among non-opera singers by the way.
As with any singer and song, each performer sings the song according to their own style. (and I happen to prefer her style to Pavarotti, but that is just preference. Same as your dislike for her!)
@StrawberryGalore obviously you don't... she was amazing number one... and number two, this is might be from an opera but she still did amazing on it... Jewel has an amazing voice. Maybe you should take it from someone who is not only trained in music but sings for a living.
I love that jewel did this song the only negative thing i have to say is she took breaths where she didnt need to if it were being judged they would take points off for it. I have been auditioning for NH All State festivals for four years and this is my final year and I am so excited to finally be doing this song because it rotates around every four years so it's finally my turn for it... anyone who is working on this go ahead and kick butt on it cause i know you can do!!!!!
ugh this annoys me! this a such a wonderful piece that was sung so poorly!She has terrible phrasing, and breath right in the middle of a word! Also pay attention to the dipthong, its supposed to be voglio-a, not just voglio. no offense to jewel but she should dtick to her type of music, i am 14 and i can honestly say that even i can pick up on her mistakes. GET PROPER CLASSICAL TRAINING BEFORE YOU INSIST ON DOING THESE TYPES OF SONGS!!!! peoples these days know nothing about breath support, god!
@kat8rawr yeah todays music is so sad to listen to:P She doesn`t even follow the score. Luckily there still are serious people that listen to serious singers and pay for serious, beautiful and sincere music.
youre right she does has a beautiful voice, however, she is pronouncing the words wrong and singing the wrong notes and her breathing is SO off. this is not her song. period.
jewel is a lovely performer, and i believe that she can have a very nice voice on country music, however i reallydont like her voice on classical music, let me explain y...
1) she has terrible breath support+breathes in the middle of the phrases
2) she sounds like a little kid, tone is very staight, there is no color to her voice
3)voglio, as opposed to the correct voglio-a dipthong thingie
4) there is no good classical traing evident in her performance
I don't understand why she insists on performing classical repertoire. Whoever is giving her classical voice lessons obviously isn't studying the music with her.
1. She breathes in the middle of a phrase, where any self-respecting voice student could carry.
2. She doesn't follow the elisions in the music "voglio" vs. "voglio-a."
3. Her portamento is completely out of the style of the era of the piece.
@emmyxjosaphene in the new edition that they're using for high schoolers all-state this year, it's supposed to be care care. luci care is the old standard.. that's why there are like no videos with care care.
I have been taking voice for over two years and just started studying this song...it is totally kicking my butt, and im classically trained. XP. I totally applaud Jewel for doing this. She kicked some serious butt with it!
I wouldnt kick her out of bed for eating crackers! Unexpected from her...she is a true talent. To expect her to nail whatever the hell that was is secondary to her unbelievable accomplishments! She is iconic!
This is the my first time hearing Per la Gloria. I think it is amazing. Everyone rips on Jewel when she sings classical, saying her breathing is messed up. You high browers just save your breath and admit that she has a beautiful voice.
@epatullo I'm a classical singer and her breathing is messed but she has perfect support so I don't really care lol her technique is off but it's the sound that comes out that matters! It's absolutely true that her voice is beautiful lmao I sang this once and it's really hard so good for her!
@epatullo by saying she doesn't breathe right isn't ripping on her. You can be an amazing singer, but if you don't breathe right it takes a lot more work to support the high notes. She does breathe a little high, but she's better than many in that area anyway.
hmm, this song sounds like it needs a deeper tone coming from the point of view that it is a song about suffering for love, i'd just adore it if she made taller vowels but for a folk/pop singer, hey it was pretty great.
At least she had the good sense to recognise what a beautiful song this is and to give it a go even if the result was not up to the standard of Sutherland or Pavarotti.
At last Bononcini's great aria has been given exposure to a greater audience.
The people who are "dogging" her are the people who have actually had formal training in classical singing. And I agree with everything they're saying. I am normally a modest person, but I sing this song better than her.
Her Voice was all in her throat and pushed, for a classical piece, it has to be really low and deep, a darker sort of tone. You have to be trained to sing songs like these, not anyone can sing classical pieces >.>
I love it when contemporary artists try to sing classical voice songs. They just display how untrained and studio dependent their voices are ! I felt a breeze blowing through my hair from all the breathe.
Delightful indeed, she masters tremolo, very rare in vocal performances. She definitely relishes signing opera, her eyes glow when she performs such and I think this style of signing is in her soul.
@Marmalade000000 Going to Interlochen for two years doesn't count as being a classically trained singer. This "other side" of hers is long dead... she's just in denial.
I'll admit it's not perfect, but I think it's a beautiful performance. There are certainly better singers, but how can you not love Jewel?! At least she's brave enough to perform something she's not known for!
at least some pop singers realize there are other great genres out there. i'm glad she challenged herself - cool. There are some problems in there but that descending melisma is cool.
Oh give it a break with the criticism. She didn't get famous to sing opera. This is a display of her ability to do it at all. Those who sing opera practice technique for YEARS....of course its not going to be perfect. Why don't any of you post a video in response that is "better", and let that make your point.
Does it not bother anybody that she left out an entire section, she pronounces "r" in "per" like she's from the country, and her phrasing!? Holy crap. Let Jewel be Jewel the pop star. Not the opera amateur.
i agree. It's pretty but some of her pronunciations of the vowels are off and she doesn't always roll her "r"s, things like that. so I guess, like the opinion from the comment above this one states, it's either sing it right or don't sing it at all since it's clearly getting complaints from either side: fans of her usual material, and people who study vocal arts or are at least somewhat knowledgeable about the subject.
besides. She yodels, uses a scratchy soulful sounding voice plus this amogst others. that deserves credit. that much voice control and to perform all of that in a concert and end on an opera is quite amazing and talented. so stuff that down your throats
To those posting negative comments- anywhere in this video does she state that she is an opera singer?? NO! shes not claiming to be one so shut up. She's just perfoming the freaking song at the end of a full full concert. She can sing this song if she wants and she doesnt need rude asshole like all of you to judge her.
For classical music like this, I think whomever singing it needs a balance between the "cute" voice and the opera voice. This is 100% cute. Good for your high school talent show... but for Jewel? Just... don't. Haha.
She doesn't have the voice type to pull of a song like this. Most people are just not meant to sing classically. There's nothing wrong with it, she should just stick to her style.
Amazing. Jewel and Queen Latifah should do an opera album together. I was blown away by how well Queen Latifah can sing listening to her jazz albums. They could do duets with Jewel singing the soprano parts and Queen Latifah singing the alto parts.
Touche! Ditto. Anyone who is posting negative comments about her need to get their ears checked. She is gorgeous. Perfect. I am amazed by her versatility as a performer.....folk, rock, country, jazz, broadway, classical and opera.
WOW . A lot of talk from people NOT getting paid , better yet PAYING to be like her. she is not an opera singer BUT she got PAID to sing it. SO whats the difference between you and her .."about 5 bank accounts 3 houses and 2 vehicles".(xzibit) SO while you are out there in diapers..or shall I say school,camp, whatever paying money .. to try and make money off your voice .. GL WITH THAT .respect those who are making money . I think it is just as beautiful as she is. SO take that to the BANK
Pretty bad, both her singing and her diction. My favourite bit is watching her nod her head as she counts in at the beginning -- I get the feeling she missed her entrance a few times during rehearsals :)
I absolutely agree with you a 100%. I am sure that she sings very well in other genres, but she simply doesn't have the skill for these types of songs.
Her voice sounds thin and tight, especially on the top note. And where's the trill? I like some of Jewel's early work. But this repetoire isn't for her --
word she is breathing in all the wrong places. this is the second aria i learned ever so i'm a bit disapointed. the first one i learned as a 9th grader was lasciatemi morire talk about depressing start to high school
haha great voice. WHAT no second verse? she did a very unique job with it not bad by any means but that weird little slide thing at the end was just terrible =p. Jewel rocks nuff said.
ah cool! ill be at academy next year too, and i heard a couple people sing Lasciatemi Morire this summer at the camp, and they did it really well. that song is really easy to kill, it was cool to see people do it well!
Just what I would expect from someone wearing jeans and a tank top singing an Italian aria. Smh

Her Voice was all in her throat and pushed, for a classical piece, it has to be really low and deep, a darker sort of tone. You have to be trained to sing songs like these, not anyone can sing classical pieces >.>

I love it when contemporary artists try to sing classical voice songs. They just display how untrained and studio dependent their voices are ! I felt a breeze blowing through my hair from all the breathe.

Delightful indeed, she masters tremolo, very rare in vocal performances. She definitely relishes signing opera, her eyes glow when she performs such and I think this style of signing is in her soul.

I'll admit it's not perfect, but I think it's a beautiful performance. There are certainly better singers, but how can you not love Jewel?! At least she's brave enough to perform something she's not known for!

I don't know technically if it's perfect or not, what I know is that she has an excelent control of her voice and the result is purely beautiful

Oh give it a break with the criticism. She didn't get famous to sing opera. This is a display of her ability to do it at all. Those who sing opera practice technique for YEARS....of course its not going to be perfect. Why don't any of you post a video in response that is "better", and let that make your point.

Does it not bother anybody that she left out an entire section, she pronounces "r" in "per" like she's from the country, and her phrasing!? Holy crap. Let Jewel be Jewel the pop star. Not the opera amateur.
leaben04 2 years ago 2
heh.
that was pretty goood.
but i don't think some of the ways she pronounces the words sound good.
BritianFrance2012 2 years ago
i agree. It's pretty but some of her pronunciations of the vowels are off and she doesn't always roll her "r"s, things like that. so I guess, like the opinion from the comment above this one states, it's either sing it right or don't sing it at all since it's clearly getting complaints from either side: fans of her usual material, and people who study vocal arts or are at least somewhat knowledgeable about the subject.
britmento 2 years ago
besides. She yodels, uses a scratchy soulful sounding voice plus this amogst others. that deserves credit. that much voice control and to perform all of that in a concert and end on an opera is quite amazing and talented. so stuff that down your throats
Naters389 2 years ago
To those posting negative comments- anywhere in this video does she state that she is an opera singer?? NO! shes not claiming to be one so shut up. She's just perfoming the freaking song at the end of a full full concert. She can sing this song if she wants and she doesnt need rude asshole like all of you to judge her.
Naters389 2 years ago
For classical music like this, I think whomever singing it needs a balance between the "cute" voice and the opera voice. This is 100% cute. Good for your high school talent show... but for Jewel? Just... don't. Haha.
Zraiiah 2 years ago
She doesn't have the voice type to pull of a song like this. Most people are just not meant to sing classically. There's nothing wrong with it, she should just stick to her style.

Amazing. Jewel and Queen Latifah should do an opera album together. I was blown away by how well Queen Latifah can sing listening to her jazz albums. They could do duets with Jewel singing the soprano parts and Queen Latifah singing the alto parts.

Touche! Ditto. Anyone who is posting negative comments about her need to get their ears checked. She is gorgeous. Perfect. I am amazed by her versatility as a performer.....folk, rock, country, jazz, broadway, classical and opera.

WOW . A lot of talk from people NOT getting paid , better yet PAYING to be like her. she is not an opera singer BUT she got PAID to sing it. SO whats the difference between you and her .."about 5 bank accounts 3 houses and 2 vehicles".(xzibit) SO while you are out there in diapers..or shall I say school,camp, whatever paying money .. to try and make money off your voice .. GL WITH THAT .respect those who are making money . I think it is just as beautiful as she is. SO take that to the BANK
