These opera videos bring out the worst in some and the best in others. They afford us the opportunity to hear the greatest vocal talents for free. There are singers, wannabes, pedagogists and other lovers of Classical music who need to share their opinions about these talents. There is nothin...

I love the look of this lady and, at times, there are some very exciting sounds made. Unfortunately, she has no clue what repertoire she is supposed to be singing and it is beginning to show up in vocal ticks. Listen carefully to the evenness of the vibrato (or more precisely, the unevenness of...
