@bcom11 People like her because she can sing. You may not think she is so great, but many people do. She is not my favorite soprano, but I have to say that her instrument is impressive.

I think it is quite good and in the spirit of Strauss. And it isn't screaming. Her German needs work though. Will concede to that.

I love Anna, and respect her work ethic. She was singing concerts while pregnant, and is always at the top of her game. She performed that song with soul and feeling. I really admire her.

I have a hard time liking Netrebko. She's not my kind of artist—she brings out the snot in me. I don't see an artist, I see a pinup, at best an actress. However, she brings enjoyment to a lot of people, and perhaps I should just concede that she helps popularize, hence keep alive, an art form that is dear to me. For that, I am grateful.

Ok,would people be that crazy about her if she looked like Susan Boyle?

I know it's rude, but I have an overpowering urge to say "ewwww!". She singing it like a Russian folk song. Flagstad, Norman, Ludwig - that's the kind of Strauss I love.
