  • angela  angela

  • brings tears, but to all the haters: "pearls before swine"

  • She (and Angela) both go sharp and flat. Why can't they stick with the notes without wavering (and i'm not talking about tremelo or melisma).

  • @insanecaine I agree but the funny thing is when you see her live she has such presence you kinda go 'So what?"

  • who dislikes this? tell me why?

  • Consider, too, that we wake up with a new voice every morning and have our best voice only about 10% of the time. Lowering the jaw dramatically is one of the ways some singers compensate for a crappy day vocally... to put it in layman terms. ;)

  • She'd make a great vampire

  • too much jaaaaw!

  • @8Goldie It's necessary for some sopranos to make a desired sound. I'm taking voice in university and I've been asked to sing with my jaw lowered dramatically quite a few times to create a certain timbre.

  • @SickMouth Yes I know from myself-I'm a dramatic soprano and my professor always tells me to drop the jaw, but this is too much-it looks like she is chewing a gum.

  • @8Goldie Too bad, she sounds great -- and that's what matters. Honestly, the things people are picky about...

  • Perfect!!!!!!!!! just perfect!!!

  • Что это было?

  • She has a wonderful voice, but she lacks of emotion.. sorry but I prefer Maria Callas.

  • Horrible!!!!!!!! How can this be possible???

  • Who did she sing this in honor of?

  • She is young, maybe she will learn singing in her life.

  • @drabosius She sings for the Met. I've never read such snot-nosed snobbery...shut up.

  • im 18 years old, and i simply love this song...

  • Why is she gorgeous AND talented?

  • niceee! that guys looks like he is going to start crying! great performance!

  • wonderful voice :)

  • Robert DeNiro sure turned out to be a little Hollywood turd, didn't he?

  • @BenjaminFonseca thank you. i recommend you to f88k yourself too. that must be your faborate hobby. as for her art i don't want to say anything with you. you must know the reason. don't you? bye and good luck Mr. nerd ; )

  • ...putin sunt cei care ne reprezinta cu adevarat si din pacate si mai putini sunt cei care-i sustin.

  • ну начала немножко за упокой, зато кончила за здравие

  • Every time I hear this, those pipes send shivers down my spine.

  • she sings beautifully with a God given instrument - consequently she is the envy of those who even sing well - go Anna

  • She is one of my new vocal mentors :)

    I think she is very lovely and her voice is what I aspire to with work and some luck!

  • нет, слов........... шикарно!

  • Te amo Anna!!!

    Tu voz es sublime...gracias por ser un instrumento para deleitarnos al resto de los humanos!!!!♥♥♥

  • Although a beautiful voice, I think Puccini repertoire is not for Anna Netrebko. She just doesn't have all it takes to render it as it is meant to be.

  • @catbaddoc I tend to agree. Some sopranos are not cut out for Mimi, Tosca, Butterfly and others.

    I can think of two great sopranos, Hildegard Behrens and Karita Mattila, who made big mistakes in

    trying to take on Floria Tosca. Netrebko is another great one, but she's not particularly good here.

    Loved her in "Traviata," though.

  • I do not like her voice for this particular aria. THere is something that just does not work. She sounds okay but just not her for her voice.

  • @bigdigger87 I agree completely. Lauretta is one of the lighter Puccini roles, she should stick to using her full, dark timbre with Mimi

  • Anna is so cute!! and really has an extraordinary voice...

  • Ma cosa avete da criticare, ma cosa avete.... Siccome è bella deve per forza non essere brava .....

  • @simonjester100 No, non c'entra, canta come canta e non é certo un fulmine di guerra. Essere bella non c'entra nulla con la voce, la tecnica e la scuola. Tutto può piacere, ma non tutti se lo fanno piacere.

  • Paradise. Now I've been there.

  • The whole package..

  • Who is this honoring?

  • @jameswhunter89 Martin Scorsese.

  • this was not her best performance. but so what?!?!?! everyone has an off day! there's a video on YouTube of pavarotti cracking on every high C in Ah mes Amis on the Met. Are we going to say that he isn't very good??? No! Anna is fantastic, this just wasn't her day

  • So many harsh critics. Why does the human mind jump to all these comparisons? Music is meant to be a feeling, but all these people want to only think about it. Question yourself and if you truly love music. Who cares if she is the best or if there are better. The only way any music is perceived as good is if the listener allows it to penetrate into their own emotion. So relax, damnit!! :p

  • @theempiremelts I think I've just figured it out. The comments I've been reading on Netrebko's videos are not about her, but about the commentator. All of our comments are merely marks of vanity.

  • She is the best! There is no one better yet.

  • Montserrat Caballe sang this 100 times better !

  • @montsyblackmadonna

    Анна Нетребко поет божественное, а Montserrat Caballe - больной человек и ей можно только посочувствовать...

  • ehhh they could have gotten a better singer. netrebko's past her prime

  • Why was a Puccini song performed as part of Martin Scorsese's segment?

  • @Splurge24 As a tribute to his Italian heritage. 

  • Creo que en este mundo sólo se tolera un talento por persona. Si cantara como canta y fuera fea diríais: maravillosa. Pero como es guapa... entonces es una porquería, y si sólo fuera guapa diríais: qué guapa es. Pero no tiene derecho a cantar maravilloso y ser guapísima. Pues lo ES! y os tendréis que aguantar los celos, lo siento mucho.

  • I think she is like me bored of this song. Part of the opera it still holds up as an aria outside of that, it seems like there should be a person driving a car in slow motion selling us bottled water.

  • The Woman, The Voice....Anna is amazing..

  • Wow...Nice

  • I can hear her taking breath between lines

    and does she knows what legato means?

    I might be worn but thats my opinion

  • @RonaldBarone That is to blame on the mic, I think. Although I agree with your legato criticism... :o) Not one of her best performances

  • Супер!

  • Анна Нетребко - потрясающая певица, актриса и просто красавица! А те завистливые комментарии о её дикции и что будет с её голосом через 10 лет - просто гавканье мосек на слона.

  • @kocharova Согласна на все сто 100% Великолепное испонение. И сама она потрясающе красива! И на мой взгляд внесла немного живости во время исполнения!

  • Анна Нетребко - потрясающая певица, актриса и просто красавица! А те, кто пишут всякую завистливюю чепуху - просто моськи, которые лают на слона.Пусть себе лают. Мне их жалко.

  • she has only one thing going for her,thats her movie star good looks

  • i just agre with you is like this,and in maximum 10 years people will hear how sounds  that voice isno rafine in her singing and point.

  • She has a great voice and a bright tone. Although she sings unclear and has little expression, she is still above Callas. Maria Callas was far from perfect.

  • She's awesome!!!

  • I'm a big fan of A.N., but her phrasing here is a mess. She should know better!

  • i have a theory that netrebko will blow her voice out in ten yrs like callas, she scoops alot and pushes her voice too much

  • Люди выходят ревнивые и завистливые комментарии. Очень неполовозрело. Желание они смогли быть половинны столь же хороший как Анна.

    A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • QUANTO E' BELLA LA NETREBKO!!!!

  • okay but she actually is really good hahaa

  • This proves how much A.N. is fussily over-rated all over the world. This is just below average. There's nothing - except her good looks -: no pathos, no understanding of the words, no proper phrasing, poor dynamics. Second rate as most of her "interpretations" are. A music school graduate would have scored a better result.

  • All Netrebo fans!! You must try to save Annoushka. Until you attack the people that bash Callas, Annoushka will be the target of vile global Kharma, against her and her son TIAGO!! The bad Kharma is building, you must stop the FILAREEDOS, before Annoushka has very bad luck, with her children.

  • All those who have critics, they should go there and try to do better. She is only a human, not a robot, and maybe si was extremely nervous. But we can never understand because we stay safe in front of our computers...

  • @carolinahermelina : But she always sounds like this. She is the highest-paid soprano in the world, and should be held accountable.

  • @xgianpatrick Wow patrick, it has been nearly a year since I have watched this video of Anna and you are still leaving comments about her. If you hate Anna so much I would strongly advice that you stop watching videos of her on youtube, and watch other sopranos which you aren't going to critisize relentlessly. You are wasting a lot of energy.

    And she is not currently the highest paid soprano in the world because she hasn't been singing as often because of her son btw.

  • @OperaGIRL777 I agree!

  • @OperaGIRL777 Thanks. Good shot!

  • @carolinahermelina Meglio lo possono fare i soprano attivi oggi e se lei non lo riesce a comprendere pur stando dietro un monitor é perché ascolta con pregiudizio. Creda come soprano questa cantante é passabile, e lo é grazie alla Scotto che averbbe però potuto fare più e meglio. Chi critica lo fa per esperienza e conoscenza non per tigna verso una persona che é stata più fortunatra di altre! La voce non c'entra con le chances!!!

  • @carolinahermelina sorry foe late reply. but you think that the pople can not cook chinese food can not critisize bad chinese restaurants at all? then why this world needs such many literature critics, art critics? and these singers live on our money we spent for them. even me have 8 CDs of her. we are consumer. we fully have the right to critisize bad quality cultural products they produce. if they can not satisfy our need. i think.

  • @carolinahermelina and in this concert. you can clearly see her bad phrasing, unstable brething, bad diction and extra-ordinarily tasteless interpretation which butchers the beauty of this aria. Anna used to be one of my favorite contemporary singers. especially her early works. but please see this performance. just the very medicore. if she sing this song like this on a world renouned contests for young singers. she must have failed. no offence to you. just my opinion. sorry.

  • Anna, are you a tranny-in-disguise???? Did you have your tally-whacker removed? Many seem to think so.

    Thank you anna, from your friends, the Callas-Bashing FILAREDOS.

  • really bad... no breathe at all

  • Oh dear singer...who cares about her diction? Joan Sutherland was always hammered about her "diction." Diction? Please. She has it ALL.

    Elizabeth

  • Beautiful voice. Thank you for posting.

  • To Hammer55292 : I've never opined Maria Callas, least I have never spoken anything bad against Maria Callas. So at this point you are HAMMER55292 wrong. In my opinion, Maria Callas was a great , extraordinary singer, she was Great among the greats. Anna Netrebko also is great among the greats, is extraordinary and Great. They are two Greats Divas, two Greats Queen.

  • @Royhorse1 Why do you bother to speak to me?? If you are troubled by this war, you must attack Belmanotre and the other fake FILAREDO profiles. Talking to me is futile, listen to me!! Until ALL bashing of Callas ends, this war will go on. To end it, you must end the FILAREEDOS!!

  • To Hammer55292 : I've never opined Maria Callas, least I have never spoken anything bad against Maria Callas. So at this point you are HAMMER55292 wrong. In my opinion, Maria Callas was a great , extraordinary singer, she was Great among the greats. Anna Netrebko also is great among the greats, is extraordinary and Great.

  • He is single-handedly ruining great-opera comments.

    Who is ruining the comments ?

    A degenerate subject, a subject crazy, mentally ill, a coward, a bit man, a vile subject, an abject and accompanied with other subjects of their own kind, of their same sordidness,meanness, vileness, turpitude. They are Hammer55292, Striker9410, Leoperarm and others.

  • @Royhorse1 Roy Ass, all you are doing here is fanning the fire!! Calling me bad names

    is making more trouble for Annoushka. If you truly love Annoushka, then listen to me. To save Annoushka, you must stop the FILAREEDOS!! There is no other way !! Also at some point in the future you must retract all the stupid lies you've said about me.

  • this

  • Best!

  • Lovely lady and beautiful voice.

  • bravo

  • That was the 2009 Kennedy Center Arts thing. She was wearing a nice dark pink with silver collor. Her pal Angela sang Viste Arte like never before! Viva Angela!!!

  • Gheorghiu also sang at the kennedy center honors. Anna was there on the video, she was on the audience.

  • I saw the video, thanks. She was at the end.

  • they`re actually friends

  • wonderful!

  • Bravo! What a voice! God bless you Anna!

  • Great job!

  • BRAVA , ANNA!!!!

  • Anna! Anna! Anna!

  • Great job, Anna!

  • Folks, have pity for Striker ...he is ill ... and deaf..... and blind.

  • Dear clever "DauntlessDiva" sorry, but I also would have a bubble like this in my throat.....

  • The diva appears to have a bubble in her throat... this is certainly not her best performance. But then, as a singer, I empathize. I only wish, in general, she would work on her diction, which is unfailingly bad.

  • @DauntlessDiva I agree. She is still a good opera singers and tries to be one, not like others throughout the world.

  • @DauntlessDiva so why don't you come out and do better? It would be a bit more difficult than criticizing a WORLD CLASS soprano on you tube. LOL!

  • Comment removed

  • impresionante... precioso... una voz angelical...UNICA!!! cris

  • global disgrace? onto Anna?

    Ask the callas fans who have bring disgrace on Callas and the Callas sites!

    Before you diss Anna, nobody knows from hairy elephant legs, scream like a monkey, first opera whore, yellow press diva etc...

    All credit belongs to you.

  • Nobody can talk with you about opera because you have no notion. Read the comments from the Callas fans and you see, they hates you.

    With your insults against Anna you destroy the Callas sites and the mood will plummet further.

  • FILAREDO/Belmanotre, you must be on drugs. I stand here with unwavering resolve, prepared to fight you forever. You're a bastard, without a doubt , and will be treated like the bastard, that you are.

  • Blabbermouth9410

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz­zzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    deadly boring and always the same bullshit.

    Haven't you ever wanted to die? Let's get on with it!

  • i ve heard her sing better... the only good here is the dress

  • I agree this isn't her best, but she is still amazing.

  • Why are you all so agressive????I am not her fun......but all this comments......it is too much.....

  • Poor Martin Scorszeze (sp) crying...she is so terrible he is crying in fear.

  • The one and only soprano for all the time.

    She sings the best "O mio Babbino caro" ever!!

    This voice is unequaled!!!

    Forget the hag from history..... the greatest soprano of all the times comes from russia!!!

  • On the count of three, everybody wank on Anna's face! One, two, three, yes Annna, OOOOHH, AHHHH!!!! Yes Anna, you want to be a whore, we'll treat you like the whore you wannabe!!

  • haha LOL!!!

  • she was only good if you don't have the brain function to hear what's going on.

  • mouth ready for porn

  • Mouth for porn opera

  • lol

  • haha

  • But...... Dear friends! Why are you not in kennedy center if you better then Anna?)))))

  • Anna Netrebko ist schöne Weib, aber schlechte Sängerin. Sie hat Ihr Karriere mit Geld aufgebaut, nicht mit Stimme. Sie hat Geld von eine armenische Liebhaber bekommen, er hat bezahlt für ihr Karriere ca. 1.000.0000 Dollar. Vorcher, Sie hat Maestro Gergiev geblasen, auch wegen Karriere. Sie kann nicht überhaupt italienische Oper singen, weil besitz russische Technik. Jeder Ton kommt von unter, das ist schreklich. Hauptsache, es gibst so viel unkompetente Leute, die sind Fans von Netrebko...

  • Filaredo, yes many are turning against Netrebko. We hate you and Anna. You are two bitches, and we are sick of you. You are being hated worldwide. You are really sucking the shit now!

  • Are you jealous? You are sooooooooooooo jealous!!!

    Are you ugly.....little cunt? Yes you soooooooooooo ugly!!!

    Are you sick?

    Yes you sooo...........!!!

  • Oh My God! She took a breath between 'Babbino and Caro'! She has the worst breath control I have ever seen, even mine is better and I've only been singing singing for 5 years! Her diction is inexplicable and her voice sounds weak and unsupported. Hugely disappointed!

  • Alright, if you think you can do better, make a video of you singing this. Prove that you really know how to improve her version of this. Otherwise no one will take you seriously when critiquing a Metropolitan Opera singer.

  • big deal. it looks like she didn't take a breath before she started the phrase. she sang 6 beats long but she was able to sing longer phrases in one breath (third phrase was held for longer than 11 beats)? Bad breath support? i think not. She has done better.

  • Beautiful voiceeeeeeeee. Better then Cassas.
