I love how Kiri has such a huge variety of repertoire, she's not an opera snob, it's amazing, she's such a great person besides being such a hugely incredible singer. Also, i love the french horn playing scratching his back with his horn... haha not quite what it was made for :-P

[Elrumel]

@saxamaphoneguy1 Opera snob? Why shouldn't she be? Show me a reason good enough to force a world class Opera singer demean to, say, hiphop or that - I don't know what that disgrace is called - the styleless shouting so popular with young rednecks? Just as well, queens could make it their job to pose behind Red Light windows, enticing the (male) populace.

@dannymaestro I admire your talent of watching the embodiment of perfection and seeing a parody. I'm sure you could do it a lot better than these amateurs.

@saab900se Why? I think it sounded great. I think people aren't used to hearing healthy voices and people, in general, reject what they don't understand.

I wish more singers would engage in "crossover" work. There's really not a difference between the genres, just a time period thing. Both are singing and acting, perhaps Music Theater a bit more dancing. Some people like hearing people that don't scream or wobble.

Pity for her and Carreras. They ruin the whole thing!

Wow. What a voice on Kiri.
