  • Are we really discussing Beyonce and Borodina in the same sentences?????

    To get back on point, this is possibly the most "contralto-ish" version of this aria besides Ewa Podles and I just love Borodina's rich burgundy wine-like coloration in the voice. She really makes an awesome Delilah because of her rich organ-toned chest voice although she's really awesome here with some top notes that would make more than few dramatic sopranos jealous.

  • so I guess mcdonalds is better than salmon and veggies since it is more popular.

  • Questa è la voce del soprano drammatico.

  • @kmillard I would say the most contralto like version of this song is definitely Dame Clara Butt - do check her version out if you can. In my humble opinion, she has the deepest and most weighty voice in a contralto that I've heard.

  • LMAO Beyonce

  • @TommyHaegin Thanks for not being mean :) You must be a happy person.

  • @ididete Hahahahaaa!! :D

  • @TommyHaegin Luckily you are not in charge. With your petty anal-compulsive taste, good singers would never get a chance.

  • BRAVA

  • Absolutely terrific! There`s an entire rainbow of colours in her voice. So much drama coupled with a gorgeously dark voice and very clear diction. And I can barely tell how beautiful her high register is. And the low one... takes my breath away. Long live the dramatic mezzos!

  • Comparing Beyonce to Borodina made me laugh very hard, even though she is a very fine pop singer, comparing her to a first league dramatic mezzo is truly embarassing. Even for her...

  • This list of comments inspired an entire blog for me because I can't believe the extremes of opinion covered in review of this one video. It is dramamezzo.wordpress the Opera Awareness post. they won't let me post the link but I think it is important to understand how voice types are classified.
