Rene Fleming has established herself as one of the most respected vocalists of our time. In my opinion, she has developed an artistic identity that is both unique and beautiful. If you personally dislike her as an musician, that's fine, but if you are trying to argue that she is not a "true" artist, please realize that you are arguing against the views of almost anybody that actually knows something about classical singing.

Seriously do any of you really know what you are talking about? Or are you just jealous of her talent?

@brittysoko I'm fairly certain it's her voice you're taking issue with, and you're welcome to do so, but to go so far as to say she sounds "drunk and indulgent" is just insulting and ridiculous.

Difficult for me to listen - just ... difficult.

Renee... IS her song. Her singing.

She IS... her song.

Profoundly.

I love her, AND.. this song.

i still think she sounds drunk and indulgent. it's just that she sounds like this no matter what she does. i don't know if one can call it musical interpretation, because it sounds to me more like her "signature" interpretations of everythingggggggggggg she sings, so how can it be an interpretation of this piece anymore? it's just her saying "look how -i- like to sing things" instead of "please let me inspire you with this poetry"

[brittysoko]

i just think she sounds drunk and indulgent. which is difficult to argue with, because she's definitely transcended the position of a singer of a song someone else has written and turned into the singer creating the song via the position of the composer. however, i still think she sounds drunk, and personally i wouldn't have made such loose and "indulgent" seeming artistic choices -- what i mean to say is that in my opinion she diverted TOO much from what Debussy wrote. she does it all the time2

@mannail888 The problem is, is that you are saying things that are incorrect. I understand opinions, you do not like her for this and that but the reasons which you have put forth aren't totally correct which is why I proposed a rebuttal. I can use large words too; also don't be supercilious and I won't either. The reason I am incensed is because you attacked her understanding of the piece. Listen to the piece again and think about the different interpretations rather than yours alone.

@TheFriendlyBeluga "Whatsmynameasgain03" and "TheFriendlyBeluga" are one for all, all for one. No need to spend time rebutting such silly and uncivilized blabbings. I have already concluded my last word on Fleming in chansons and I didn't feel the need to add any further comment to augment my appraisal on her.

All right you butt fart. Let's look at this piece. It's impressionistic. I know what the lyrics are but knowing that it's impressionistic means she can make it pretty and slide and she does that and she does it damn well. The song is about nature and living out her/his(whoever is singing) life for fucks sake. You can't even see the expression on her face so you can't interpret it fully but by sound and inflection alone, she rocks it. Fleming-fans are not mindless gits.
