She should have been in the final without question.

@auntieada Oh sure, but the point is more than amateurs don't sing these arias for a reason - because they CAN'T, not successfully, not without injuring themselves. Honestly, I'm GLAD the key is a minor third lower, because she'd kill herself trying to get that F. But the people who know this piece, or much about opera at all, will know what's wrong and will probably laugh. Or be offended. (Sing like an opera star in six weeks! Who needs all those years of training?)

@AudreyN Are you not missing the point of the program!? (i think she done really well!)

Where can i purchase you're album?

it's transposed down for fucksake

I think this whole show is an epic fail... I mean seriously. Why not make a show about school children trying to perform heart surgery or something like that. Why not leave this to the professionals, because this is such a disservice to the artform

Thumbs up if you only ended up here because of Harry Hill's TV Burp

I think Marcella should have at least gone on to the finals. The only reason why Darius went on to the finals was because he was a man, and they needed one to keep more of the demographic watching. It's a popularity contest. He got the female, the European and the gay votes.

ROFLCOPTER!! When she started I loved it. She has such a good voice. But I was giggling and laughing so much for her high notes. Her expressions said to me, "oh sh*t, here it comes..." "Ah, got it. And another one...ah, there we go." "Most of them in there, now with the rest of the aria..."

I know this is a difficult aria for any soprano (yes, I've tried some of it, bet not had the chance to try all of it :( ) so, she did very well. but I did find that so funny. She got most of the notes.

[Sapphire848]

@378753 I agree! This is either my favourite, or one of them and to have got that in her third week is impressive. She could have shown more character and been more confidendant for the high notes but I know she was probably rather nervous.

[378753]

My favourite opera aria, and I do love this version. A little more self confidence, perhaps, so that she'd appear even more "pissed off", but ... I love it anyway!

Challenge any of the haters to try it then comment who aren't trained opera singers
