She is a superb actress as well as a superb singer. She brings meaning to whatever she sings - try to hear her live.

BRAVA!!

@rofklaw The text is narrated by a young girl, could this have something to do with her interpretation?

[dollhouseparade]

@mlkoln nichtmal das niveau einer gesangsstudentin ! null resonanz im körper

[coryisawake]

Charming!

[mlkoln]

Diese Interpretation wird Upshaws vorauseilemdem Ruf in keiner Weise gerecht.

Diese Darbietung läßt jeden Charme der Musik und vor allem der Metaphern in den Liedtexten vermissen - langweilig! Das ist das künstlerische Niveau einer guten Gesangsstudentin.

Voice is shivering and franch is horrible. Amateur ! Nosy

[mackypentel]

song is good but her french is awful..

[wangdasan]

Debussy is an incredible muscian and Ms. Upshaw and Mr. Kalish perform this wonderfully.

[rofklaw]

dang when she sings her nasal vowels it's like someone is shining a flashlight right in your face.
