I love you Leontyne. You're a living legend, one of the last of old school talents.

So much of what passes today for talent seem to be enough for today's uneducated ears, and then your God given talent tells us all of just how far we've regressed.

We're going backwards in so many fields. I use to think it was man's nature to constantly move forward.

But after reaching the end of forward as you've proven, I now realize it's man's nature to move in any direction and just as long as he moves.

I understand her perfectly. She seems very clear in the communication of her thoughts. Her accent does not seem to interfere with her expressing her feelings in any way. There may be other very valid reasons you cannot understand her. Your problem may be because of the way you hear (or can't hear) certain sounds. Not everyone's hearing is the same.

I think it's funny everybody's saying her accent's thick and hard to understand. lol I guess it's because I'm from the South, too. Wonderful lady, a very wonderful lady.

@GOTICO671 Yes, I know. I get so thrilled when I listen to her, my mind gets flustered. I had meant to call into use Prima Donna Assoluta and accidentally called into use La Divina, long ascribed to Callas. At any rate, they are both superb.
