She's not just a singer, she's Grace Bumbry! I really love her!

Her speech isn't "affected". If one chooses to really hear, one can hear her southern roots, classical education and Baptist church background which, in itself, has a far more enunciated, articulate speech pattern than one would imagine, especially if one's only experience with the Baptist church extends to those insane redneck televangelists.:)

I love this lady! She sang everything in the dramatic repertoire!

"My voice is now bigger than ever. There's nothing I can do about it. I sing according to the dynamics written in the score, and if others cannot keep up with me, I cannot help it. I will not scale down my voice for anyone."
Grace Bumbry in an 80's radio interview with Stefan Zucker

Actually, her way of speaking reminds me a LOT of Callas. Both were born in the US, and both lived for many years in Europe, speaking languages other than English most of the time.

Grace really loved FAST CARS and sport cars! So did Karajan!!!
-
She has so much class, wow. And her speaking voice is just as enjoyable as her singing voice. What a great lady..

@Akee1990 ^This comment caused all of the oxygen to leave my body. This is the funniest thing I've ever read. My sentiments exactly!

@TheReturnOfStephan1, yeah I know I can hear her Southern accent as well. She also speaks German and you really should expect her to be talking about bacon bits and biscuits in this interview. Grace is absolutely grande isn't she!!!!!!

@coloraturafan2
Why can't you tell us who is your favorite singer ?

I like so many it is hard to have a favorite... and if I did mention one name it would only fuel the whole "this singer is better than that one" debate.
