Madame Mari Lyn - Una voce poco fa

[ConfreriedelOpera]

I chuckle too!

What was that old loggerhead who was singing Una Voce Poco Fa??

My God! Like a parrot taking flying kicks in the kidney and liver!

She went into the crapper.

[sftimpani]

It's Charles Nelson Reilly!

[assraelle]

genious .. ahah! wonderful stress relief .. id pay her every night, to make me laugh like i just have

[randomactsofbach]

OH YEA BABY! Why no viola? Mercy!

[MisterPapageno]

Surely this lady has paid the pianist and the musicians.

I propose you an exchange, dear lady: I'll borrow my voice to you for one day, and you give me the money you used to pay the musicians, so I can continue my private studies of singing!

[CalifaJohn]

Oh, Madame Lyn, I think I had way more fun listening to it than you did doing it. 

[arpeggio1358]

Does anyone else think she looks like Renee Taylor as Fran Dresher's mother on The Nanny?

[CalifaJohn]

@arpeggio1358 You hit it ! She totally does.

[arpeggio1358]

@CalifaJohn She's got Renee Taylor's speaking voice, too. Taylor has always been a fun actress. I loved her on the Nanny and in my Favorite Year.

[ZiaLory]

BANGG!!!

[goodguysdoll]

"As you will notice, Maestro Saltair (?) is GONE. It was a sad fight, but I WON!!!" This is so sick. She's totally insane!! "This is why we need local 802 musicians on cable." She takes every opp to mention local 802, as if that makes her performance more artistic and professional.

[onotuoedaul]

please dont tell me its serious.

[miuzefreak]

2:02 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL good lllord! LOL

[Loismustdie26]

haha, what's that about needing local artists! This is classic?

[ilprezzo]

I loooooooove it.....especially 4`23 vinceheyyyyrrrooooo....

[aggressivedrumpolice]

my ears are bleeding =))=))=))=))=))

[RyanFrenk]

messosohpraynos sing it too.

good luck, my-estroez

over-cadenzerized glawry

[worldofkarma]

Sweet lord. Put it out of its misery! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[landofslings]

Over-cadenza-rized?

[fromheretoglory]

She sounds like drunk canary

[couturesixfour]

wtf was that at 4:23?

[coryisawake]

@couturesixfour heaven.

[SwankyCub]

Ya gotta love public access cable. Sit back, relax, snuggle up to a loved one and remember, if you don't have a loved one, this one is MUCH more entertaining than Robin Byrd.

[xxxtenorxxx]

4:24 she sounded like in those mexican songs...

[perfumedlife]

Poor thing .

[nikkihammond]

there are so many things wrong with this video...

[perfumedlife]

Was she crazy ?

[lase2312]

At least now we know where Vivica learnt how to "sing" "coloratura".

[celestialbakura]

@lase2312 But vivica is at least good at it! ahhaha and a lot prettier :D

[jujupans]

Overcadenzarized indeed!!

[ismsancat]

BRAVAAAA!!!!! DIVAAAA!!!!

[godivapaw]

A word of advice for Lindoro: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

[ahava77]

4.20-4.24!!!!!!!! :-O hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa­aa

[ternitamas]

This woman and "La Foster"  must have had a very VEEERY distorted perception of reality to think this as serious... REALLY guys this is beyond funny, it's AWFUL!!

[beginner57]

@ternitamas : you forgot Natalia De Andrade, the third person of belcanto's holy trinity.

[paulie923]

Really... I just pissed myself.  4:20 - 4:24 is the SHIT!!!!!

[godivapaw]

You know, I am never one to swear, but I have to make an exception in this case. I think she needs a lasso and a lunge whip as props for this cadenza.

[paulie923]

This is the F-ing best.. I needed this...

[violahenny]

Listen here young uns!!! This is fantastic!! I had that album with her and Florence Foster Jenkins. I used to listen to it over and over and over back in the 70s.......and visual to boot...all theories that she was a drag queen may now be explored more fully!!

[willni06]

BEST PART = 4:22! Great technique!!!

[SilentAuror]

Is this supposed to be funny? Because it is!

[lacigarrados]

Karin Hughes but in american version!

[lacigarrados]

amo sus coloraturas

[JFPX]

Ella vive en mis pesadillas y me canta al oido mientras ellos sangran!

[Ire990]

..Chi è la Callas in confronto a costei?!?

[hayyu2008]

She's a vocal wonder

[LiLmiSst0ya]

*vocal wander.

[aspencer2004]

I'm mad at how she looks at the violins at 6:27 like they doin something wrong LOL

[donnygemini]

OMG! Exactly! How do those string players keep a straight face!!! I remember watching this the week it aired on public access in NYC. I have been searching for it ever since.

[sylvestermeow]

I think she must be from the Queens/Brooklyn border. That's where guts come from.

[willcwhite]

It certainly is "over-cadenzerized"... but how wonderfully so.

[TrevorDaniels]

LOL

[elinorberg]

The orchestra is absolutely gorgeous!

[omtara]

No, I think she is serious.

[rsraley]

It's absolutely baffling to me that people think this is genuine, and they either defend her for doing her best or seriously criticize her singing. It's a parody, for crying out loud!

[goodguysdoll]

@rsraley It is not a parody. This woman had a show on cable in the 80s in NYC.  It is NOT a parody.

[richard8114]

pobre la loca sabe mas de coloratura y canto lirico un mono¡

[stxer]

BRAVO!! Encore!!!!

[vincetcran]

i only can say: she brushes very well her hair

[TamaTamaStudio]

OMG! She's brilliant, isn't she?

"Centou traptuley, preim the sederey, farou jouka"

She's definitely talking gibberish. LOL!

[GiovinTenore]

Da crepare dalle risate!!!Troppo brava...

[rikyu1150]

haaaaaa!

povre rossini

[hayyu2008]

Wonderful moment at 4.20 .... such graceful coloratura ....

[hayyu2008]

I love her NY Yenta accent when she sings in Italian 'Il mio cuoaaaaaaww' ... and she obviously sees herself as one of the great coloraturas who drove conductors mad!!! What a hoot! She's the greatest. Imagine Callas hearing this! OY VEY! Aptly named, 'LA TraviYENTA'!! Long may she wobble!!!

[couturesixfour]

@hayyu2008 you are so silly. i am screaming at this performance along with your comments. i love her. i would pay to hear her. she could brighten the saddest of day for me! i love bad performance!!!

[hayyu2008]

@couturesixfour Screaming was my first reaction too! I think she's fabulous .. I love her determination and self-belief!! I'd love to see her perform in front ot a bunch of opera stars!

[TreblesBasses]

LOL

[gunaali]

E cenTRo trappole...sì...vabbè...LOL!!

[Anibaal]

Brava divina!! Qué coloraturas. Increible como maneja las habilidosas coloraturas "babababbababababbabab" hace con impresionable técnica, mejor que la jenkins

[maijacurrie]

I want a wig just like that! And the dress! Fabuloso!!!

[larunru]

Amazing!!!! I love Mari Lyn, i want to heart more about her. Thank you so much

[Ropuchopuch]

I love her dress!

[suzugurl]

This is the greatest recording of all times with the best singer in the universe. I wish I had beautiful coloratura like that and magnificent intonation.... 5 stars!

[WiseMonki]

Why the hell not!!! Good for you lady... much better than modern 'want-to-be-pop-stars' TV shows... BRAVO!!!

[belcanto8]

no comment...

[richard8114]

patetico, que insulto a la coloratura, que ruido el que hace esta mujer existen cosas absurdas pero esto sobrepasa todo limite

[LaMagnifica13]

Can't you take a joke??! Hijo de la gran madre

[richard8114]

una broma? es mala y punto. que sus oidos resistan semejante desastre me tiene sin cuidado y si no le gusta mi comentario problema suyo que se amarga¡¡¡¡

[AnonBatch]

I'm touched... touched in places I don't ever want to be touched in again.

[arpeggio1358]

@AnonBatch I can only agree completely. My ears will never be the same...EVER again!

[paulostroff99]

Hilarious! Bravo! TY.

[carusoclarinet]

i could omly imagine how desparate those local 802 musicians were for this gig!!!

[lochness11]

I retract my comment unreservedly.You are doing your best.Good for you,keep practising.There are many who wouldn't attempt this Rossini piece.You are a lover of good music,and 10/10 for placing your efforts on YouTube, where others fear to tread.

[Glenmed]

Well said, Sir! To settle matters I call for a sing-off with Gerald Moore!

[lochness11]

PLEEEEASE,bring back Florence Foster Jenkins.

ALL is forgiven!

[paulostroff99]

lochness11-Thank you for this absolute treasure. I can't stop laughing! Bravo! TY.

[PATERCITO]

Una Soprano con buen humor.

[joanabanyeres]

Elle avait de l'humour, au moins !!

[bmcneese45a]

Funny stuff .... she's not nearly as bad as Mrs. Miller. And we should relax, because it IS mean to be funny in this way.

[mariasarda]

Elle avait de l'humour, au moins !!

[valqueso]

THE WORST SOPRANO EVER!!!!!!!!!! Maria Callas is screamig from her grave! hahahaha

[valqueso]

THE WORST SOPRANO EVER!!!!!!!!!! Maria Callas is screamig from her grave! hahahaha

[jjvbravo]

That last high note shattered my glass eye!

[violasop23]

No matter how much physical pain it gives me to watch this, it has become one of my favorite videos! She is a wonder in sequence! Brava!

[1stBari]

Quite Possibly the worst I have heard. She brings immense discredit on the art of singing and on all classically trained singers. I don't know where she was trained but she is flat often and her runs are so sloppy they don't even resemble music...rather a dull, tittering laugh. An embarressment--would be laughable if it didn't give so many people such a poor impression of Classical singers.

[Adonis20]

Poor orchestra....

[sutherland4l]

"over-candenzserized glory????"

[ChelliChan]

7:23 sounds like an alarm is going off!

[tenor9nz]

love it!!!

[ttijuanero]

Cabrones, me cague de risa, es increible esta ruca. Pregunta: Esta psica???

[cwecub]

[RunRunita]

La Pochinki con peluca!!!!!!!

IMPERDIBLE

[Leluride]

TI AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[SashaDrago]

Dios mio!! me corto las pelotas y me las pongo de sombrero!!

[wicklomuso]

The woman is FABULOUS!!! I adore her. Eat your heart out Florence Foster Jenkins!!

[comawhite015]

I need more of this woman! Where the hell can I find clips?

[ttijuanero]

Just google her name and you'll find more videos, she's incredible horrible, I love her

[Trubadurul]

[axellaxell0]
