This is NOT a yodel. She has a superb voice, technique, stage presence, temperament, range, dignity, elegance, charm, majesty, and versatility. In my opinion the best living/active mezzo-soprano on stage today. The magnificent Ewa Podles is a contralto really, and respectively the best in the world in that vocal category. Now, if you want to see a yodel please refer to the vastly overrated, hyperactive, hysterical, vulgar Cecilia Bartoli.
@philipc67 Lucky your country's going bankrupt next week. Then we won't have to listen to your ignorant hissy-fit faggot views about singers any longer.
@MoscowMaestro Dream on, baby. Your comment is not only a non-sequitur, but obviously rude and idiotic. One issue does not perclude the other. Best if you go home and have a long dry masturbation session. You are, of course, blocked.
@MoscowMaestro My name is Philip, little Russian bozo boy. Do not bring country issues into this, unless you want to hear about your peuso-macho Putin and his posse of cowards killing journalists. Now go away and have a long satisfying wank.
@philipc67 Your name is Stavros, and you live in a bankrupt nation. You know nothing about music at all, Greek pederast. Now go and take it up the asshole from your big policeman boyfriend, faggot. Leave music to people who understand it, you worthless ranting faggot Greek queen.
@MoscowMaestro Beautiful, what an elegant, magnificent response, oh you are so clever. Thank you, Moscow, for this accurate psychological profiling. By the way, many policemen like taking it up the ass. But no, I will not stoop to your level. I will simply block you and report you to the Moderator so you are banned. Goodbye.
@philipc67 You can't block me on videos that aren't yours, Stavros. I don't really want or need to know what Greek police like up their asses, but I'm sure you have expert Greek insider knowledge. My girlfriend is a dramatic soprano singing all over the world - but I know you prefer castrati. You didn't make any videos - because Greeks are lazy do-nothing faggots living on EU subsidies, who only sit around doing nothing all day. Enjoy your bankruptcy, Stavros.
@MoscowMaestro Too bad but not upsetting. Obviously you are racist and homophobic with no respect for your elders. Let's answer in kind then, and have some fun. I will call you Sergei, or do you prefer Misha the bear? How often do you fuck your fat Russian soprano babushka girlfriend up the ass, Misha? Is she clean? Do you get any of her shit on your pale Russian cock, Misha? Does she swallow your cum when she blows you, Misha? Enjoying Moscow corruption and human rights abuses, little boy?
@MoscowMaestro You need some big fat Moscow policement to fuck you up the ass, taking turns and without any lube, dear little Misha boy. Just make sure you clean out your ass first. If you get any shit on their cocks they'll beat you up, too, as they do Gay Pride marchers.
@MoscowMaestro Keep talking, racist homophobic pig boy. Why did you message me on this post in the first place? Remember, when you hurl gay abuse at somebody you are probably a fag yourself, poor piggy. I must think of a more offensive name for you.
If you cannot answer my questions don't bother to respond here. You haven't told me yet if your fat babushka girlfriend shits on your cock when you fuck her in the ass or if you've been beaten up by your faggot-hating racist Russian policemen yet.
@philipc67 You know nothing about opera, but you sit there hissing venom about singers whom you don't understand whatsoever. I know your kind - nasty vicious gay fags who pretend to have "opinions" about singers. Cecilia Bartoli has done nothing to earn the ignorant worthless faggot shit you spout.
@MoscowMaestro Ah, now you have shown your true colors, a Bartoli groupie....how admirable of you. I suppose you also like that Queen of Russian Pig Mediocrity, Anna Netrebko? Keep hurling the fag abuse, Boris baby, so that everybody here can read what a cheap little bigot you are. Do you and your Putin posse of cowards go gay-bashing in the streets of Moscow at night?
@MoscowMaestro And I have been listening to opera for many years, Boris the fag-hater. I have attended thousands of performances, travelled widely, read widely, have a good musical ear, taste and common sense. You don't know me from Adam, so keep your opinions to yourself. Now go have some straight muskrat sex with your babushka girlfriend so you can produce some more useless, racist Russian pig babies to litter this poor planet.
@philipc67 Such bigotry stems from failure to realize those who are neither porn stars, nor porn stars, nor named Tiger Woods have sex with fewer than about 10 of the 100,000 or so persons they meet over a lifetime. Why any would care about the other 99,990 is one of the great mysteries. Tiger Woods is an even greater one.
@P1B1U1H1 What??? What the hell does this have to do with the clip, or my exchanges with the little Russian pig below? Where am I mentioning Tiger Woods or porn stars? Who are you and why are you addressing me here? Must have mistaken me for someone else....or been high and/or drunk when you posted.
@philipc67 Well, it does show that anti-gay bigotry is exceedingly strange, which it is. After all, what do your bedroom activities have to do with him? In fact, I don't really want to know what either of you do in the bedroom.
@philipc67 As I rather expected, Stavros the Kebab-Seller, you know NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING about music at all. Instead you know about anal sex with policemen. Your comments about singers aren't worth $0.001, because you're an illiterate Greek cunt. But nevermind - your country goes medieval next week, when the money runs out and civil war begins. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahahah!! Don't expect any help from us. Try getting a job, for once in your fucking lazy worthless Greek life???
@MoscowMaestro I have a good job and a good life, thank you. My country will not go bankrupt nor leave the Eurozone, we will survive. I have musical knowledge, experience, and good taste, so I will post on whatever I choose. You have no invitation to lecture me on musical taste, nor do I need any by a racist homophobic Russian pig. Now go fuck your girlfriend's fat ass and get shit on your ugly cock. Anal sex requires talent and practice. I have decided, her name is Lyudmilla and yours is Boris.
@philipc67 You have NO musical knowledge. You are just an empty-headed faggot. Greece is scheduled to go bankrupt next week. Maybe you should read a newspaper?
@MoscowMaestro You haven't hurled any fag abuse at me today, oooh noble, intelligent and dearest talented musician Boris, what's the matter with you? Did your fat babushka girlfriend bitch spill menstrual blood on your pale little cock and stain your dirty, crab lice-laden bedsheets while you fucked her missionary-style? Or are you trying for another useless Russian pig baby who will grow up to be a racist bigot piece of shit like his proud daddy?
@MoscowMaestro And get your facts straight, Boris....how poetic. It's called a kebab in Turkey, but Souvlaki in Greece. Try skewering one through your hairless empty testicles.
@philipc67 No, this is a yodel. It's a song in the alpine style that makes use of a yodel refrain. Are you insulting the Alpine singing tradition by saying it's below such great singers. I don't want to be condescending, but I'd guess that the yodeling you've heard is that tacky pop-country stuff you hear on commercials. True natural yodeling (Western, Swiss, Austrian, Bavarian, Scandinavian or Congolese) is not just a party trick, but an art that takes perfection.
the singing is absolutely gorgious and engaging but i need to respectfully disagree....this is NOT yodeling...her technique is amazing and she is sliding into these high registers so effortlessly that it might be confusing. but she is NOT using the yodeling technique which is much more simple and physical...
Hi everyone, just want to say to everyone here whoever you are: I wish you a very happy New Year - all the best wishes and happiness for 2010..... RoniM
LOLOLOLOLOLOL THIS IS FANTASTIC. I love the guy with the beard at the beginning. He looks so dramatic...plus, von Otter is fabulous as always. Such a fantastic sound for such simple lyics :)
