Unfortunately Elvis ruined this song for me. It really is very sad. As hard as I try I can't hear anything else.

barely. She has a limited range, and doesn't utilize her voice well. There is a difference on being a trained mezzo and having mezzo timbre.

Dear syneeisanelf,

Quite right. Thanks for setting the record straight on that.

In opera circles these terms are not casually assigned to anyone on the basis of timbre. These are honorifics that must be earned.

Elvis based his song on this classic FRENCH piece :P, and the melody is essentially identical. All he did was change up the bridge and cut the verses.
