This woman has a spectacularly beautiful, feminine, angelic lovely voice. Not honey but spun gold - a voice that is disarming in the soft sections and captivating. I think she may have the most beautiful soprano voice I have ever heard. bel canto bel canto (....and I have no musical education...but I don't think one needs to have one to appreciate such a jewel)

I can gaze at her and listen to her all day...... : p

@pedrofribeiro theres nothing to argue about, I dont know what your problem is, I didnt say anything negative about her singing. Im not going to continue wasting my time talking to an internet troll like you that wants to start arguements over nothing.

[pedrofribeiro]

@skitzo429 I saw her in 2008 at Rio, and she was spectacular. Wikipedia music education? Please. I've read all the great literature regarding coloratura technique(Concone, Panofka, Vaccai, Lehmann, García, Tosi, Mancini, Viardot, Lamperti) and I'm also friends with some operatic scholars, from whom I've learned a little bit. What I wrote you is public knowledge, wich I assumed that you didn't have. I do know(quite a lot) of what I'm talking about, so if you want to argue, please, be my guest. =)

[skitzo429]

@pedrofribeiro what the hell are you talking about? I havent said anything detracting from her singing, I told a TRUE story about when I (not you) saw her live LAST YEAR (at 63). You dont know anything about me, I have a music masters degree, watch yourself fool. You clearly have a wikipedia music education, since everything you just wrote came from her wikipedia article, and you clearly have no idea what youre talking about, your the one who needs a life.

@skitzo429 What's your problem?Did she insulted your mom? In her videos, you come only to insult her and disgust everybody else. Get a life, bastard! She's a spectacular artist, with perfect technique, highly acclaimed in everything she sings, stated by Time Magazine as "the best Lyric Coloratura in the world", sang for 2 popes, is the best performer of all time to many roles(Sophie, Pamina, Blondchen, Zerbinetta, Susanna, Semele, Zdenka, Cleopatra, Marie, Rosina...),while you're just an idiot.

@skitzo429 Ok Ok Ok... lets call it Una Loca molto Fa lol

[skitzo429]

@RonaldBarone Im not convinced shes a bitch so much as shes just mentally unstable, when I saw her she went on 25 minutes late because first she demanded that no one be in the balcony of the hall because she wanted to keep an eye on them, then she demanded that they leave the house lights on, for the same reason, which was fine because I had bought the cheapest noseblead seats I could and then they moved me down into like the 3rd row, then she saw the photographer and had a tantrum.

@skitzo429 she could change to Una BITCH molto Fa lol
