I still say she can cover some of Pat Benetar's slower numbers like "Treat Me Right" and "We Live For Love". She could really do "Dont Let it Show" It has that nice legato that her voice does so well.
Wow I am so amazed to hear her say that. Fair enough though... It is nice to know that she isn't an opera snob!! who believes that opera is the only form of high art etc.
Heck, she doesnt even have to sing. I still would like to know if she could pull off wearing the Auntie Entity chain mail dress. Add a battle axe and a mean glare and voila...instant advert for the Opera!
Yes, she could sing rock if it were Pat Benetar songs. She could just take her Donna Elvira interpretation at the final dinner scene and sub in the lyrics for "Treat Me Right" and voila! Imagine her in the chain mail suit from Beyond Thunderdome?!! Awesome! Isnt this part of the interview from the South Bank show with Melvin Bragg circa early 1990's? Is there any more?
Yes, I believe that's correct; this is part of her Portrait, a dvd made of awesomeness :)
By the way, I satisfied my curiosity about her children, they appear in the documentary, thanks anyway...
As for imagining her in Thunderdome, I can but it would be a different character because THAT Auntie is part character and part Tina Turner herself. Nonetheless I believe she would have a blast if she had the opportunity to make something of the kind and that would be wonderful to see.
I agree that the "Auntie" part is part of Tina Turner but I think Kiri could pull it off as an advert for Opera (in general). Lose the 30 and get the pistol crossbows ready! She is tall and strong enough to pull it off. What do you think?
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, a lady even when she talks about wearing leather

Of course she could pull it off, especially by the time of this interview.
Even now... she's a classy lady, everything suits her ;)

Dont insult Dame Kiri with Miss Squeaky! Unlike Mariah, Kiri can and still hit a top C while Mariah has to come up and squeak out a top c

I think Dame Kiri would say "ummm...who is this Mariah Carey that you speak of.?"

Imagine her singing "What's Love Got to do with it" in high C, complete with a Tina Turner hair do, just like the one seen here: YFQlZht2DU4 ..

Yes, I'd love to see her singing Tina's hits at least once!
Thanks for posting!
