@mrkingmorph They're rerunning Jools Holland shows on my national tv, there was this huge orchestra and Peter Gabriel doing his usual bombastic thing and more famous people and suddenly this one guy with his guitar, and my ears just pricked up. One moment I'm all "Man, this guy's playing his guit...

@Wendyhasachannel No, that's not it. They have no idea the clitoris has anything to do with female pleasure. It's supposed to be a mystica rite of passage, that makes the female child into a real virgin who can make a proper marriage.Long ago, that was the only way to make sure your doughter coul...

@akosgr That won't happen. Why should he scratch her? He knows perfectly well babies don't know what they't doing! At most, if she'd reallyhurt him by loving him too roughly, he might give her a smack with his velvet paw, which probably would make her laugh her little ass off. I've seen that happ...

@NESHero : unfortunately, Moreschi was a very poorly gifted singer, with a frail and feeble voice. So in fact, there is no real way to know what good castrati really sounded like: can you imagine Haendel composing pieces for voices like Moreschi? He may not have been the grumpy bear Jeroen Krabbé...

@sinoples: It isn't a bad film at all, it is quite good, actually; but filmography is often misundestood. You can't make a good film by simply recalling History point per point: you have to use metaphores to get there in a few minutes. I can explain it all, but not in these boxes, they're too sma...

Apart from thus fabulous tune I never tire hearing, this video makes me want to put curls in my own beard :-D

Aren't sculpturers great, making even the most ugly ones among us guys look so good?

@MrSaltyLemon : Ach... as long as the world doesn't lose Rowan himself, I don't care a bit about the car. If it tempts an intelligent man like mr. Atkinson to drive foolishly, it's a bad car and it deserves everything it gets. He wouldn't have crashed in the little red KIA, I tell you! And anywa...

@aiayumi Yeah, I know that. Most castrati grew quite tall. But if you're destined to have a square jaw, broad shoulders, large hands and feet, etcaetera, because your ancestors had, you'll have them too, in spite of all the hormones (or lack thereof) in the world. You should know that. Estrogen o...

@RodCorkin1 : Please don't be stupid, like trying to compare Mozart to Heandel. They're incomparable, because too different. You can't compare geniuses, all that does is prove you don't understand any of them.

@ImakoHa: And also the saddest, if you know what it's about. The character in the opera is sold into slavery; Heandel 's put into music what that feels like. Takes some imagination for us, but in his time it was a reality. In the movie, Farinelli sings this to prove to Heandel he's a real singer,...

@theesbband :You are right about those pop groups, although I think in the Afro-American tradition, there's always been countertenor-singing, even during the slavery time. Black people (as an average) have better vocal chords, they posess a larger register both high and low. Think of Prince in "k...

@civileso I can see the scene in my head when you describe it. I wish I saw it. Was that on tv?

These are a fine couple of voices, my word, and this thingy is really well arranged by this mister Purcell, isn't it? ;-)

I guess we all agree that James Bowman and Andreas Scholl are the Farinellis of...

@Buddhaxe: this was what is commonly called "irony", my friend. In other words: I was just kidding! Someone who's in love with classical music can hardly mean this type of comment for real, given half of the greatest classical composers of all times were Germans...

@restlesspride666: Ah, there I have an advantage,I'm an artist. I can see beauty in women & men, children, animals, rocks & trees. You should try & get the difference between "beautiful" & "sexually attractive". Those 2 are far from synonymous... Often, men are reluctant to admit they're able to...
