http://www.ted.com Can opera be ever-so-slightly sexy? The glorious soprano Danielle de Niese shows how, singing the flirty "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss." Which, translated, means, as you might guess: "I kiss so hot." From Giuditta by Frans Lehár; accompanist: Ingrid Surgenor.

  • Technology, Entertainment, Design. I liked this entertainment. Maybe people would not hate this so much if Hans Rosling had a graph going on in the background?

  • German isn't the most romantic sounding language ever....

  • correction.. hole in her dress

  • OMG anyone anyone notice the hole in her shirt (underarm) at 2.57? Lol..

  • I'm surprised at the amount of dislikes and negative comments on this video. I kind of expected more from the followers of TED talks...Anyway, surprised no one pointed out it's Franz, not Frans. Other than that, good video!

  • As a vocal performance major, I really want people to enjoy classical vocal music and opera. TED, please invite some more audience-friendly and talented singers!

  • First I was not sure if I like it or not. Then I listened to the song interpreted by other singers who are not so off on the pronounciation and now I know I like the song but this here sucks. Maybe Miss de Niesen can sing, but she sure as hell can not sing german.

  • If im ever drowning, i want her to breathe into me whilst wearing that dress

  • If there was a "So So" Button I would click it!

  • ah the irony, a none blond, blue eyed arian singing in german, how hitler would roll over in his grave! i love it.

  • Listen to Anna Netrebko at the PROMS 2007 that's how this aria is suppose to be sang :) Danielle made an noble attempt, but no one can sing this aria like Anna ;D
