oh gawddd I guess youy have to be true fan to love this. I like her voice but IO wish she'd move on from the 20-somethings repertoire and do somethng more fitting her age. I mean, the "doll" doesn't have bingo wings. Come on please, do something suiting your experience more.

@Rumpelstiltskinsky She have been doing various works. Apparently, she had performed 20-somethings that you mentioned in her early career, such as Queen of the Night, Gilda, Lucia, Lakme, Elvira, Doll, Zerbinetta and Amina, etc. In her middle time, however, she did many other things. Fra Diavolo (very rare work by Auber) 2009, Romeo & Juliette 2010, Le Coq d'Or 2003 , La Traviata 2007, some German lieders and Barbiere di Siviglia 2010 (this March).

@Rumpelstiltskinsky Hope you do some research. The things that were posted here are just a part of her entire works.

And I wouldn't attempt singing anything like this unless you're a top-notch soprano. It's a very tricky piece. Anyway it's not Italian !

Amazing... I mean.... Sumi Jo is the DOLL. Very nice, flawless, impeccable and superb...

[richzero0]

haha! I love this! <3

[nishanoire]

this is and will always be my favorite rendition of this song. Her voice is so dynamic and interesting, and her character portrayal and interpretation is so perfect.

@Rumpelstiltskinsky

This singer has a superb talent, and talent knows no age

@LauraRose83 gotta agree i was just there on October 18th! but to be fair most recordings can never compare to live. if you want one more comic like Anna Christy's check out patricia petibon she has 3 videos of it on youtube In my opinion the best of which is labeled Patricia Petibon - J.Offenbach, Couplets D'Olympia, La Poupee

[LauraRose83]

Anna Christy did an awesome job at this at Lyric Opera of Chicago! This sucks!

@Rumpelstiltskinsky to her peterpan-like sentiment. and voice too..very rare case. Dessay's voice is not more suit for her best repotoires, but Umi's still....

[icylakepaxphile]

@Rumpelstiltskinsky her mental age must be very young. many diva started singing in very young age, and could not experence many things the commons would experence in evryday life. she also said that she is very clumsy at counting money, buying food in a super market....especially unmarried divas. someone's temper would become very difficult, if their looks no more fit their life on stage, like Tebaldi, Marcella Pobbe. but Sumi is more fortunate. at least her baby face is more helpful to
