voce non adatta a didone, troppo vuota, debole e manca del tutto di emozione......sembra la figlioletta di enea........sentite jessy norman........

The best... Totally out of words for the wonderful singing of Emma and the cooperation from instrument players in the background.

@TheIronyOfLunacy - I must admit I am not a great fan of classical music but as a piece of music Dido's Lament is truly haunting from the lyrics to the doom laden bass line - for some reason I think of the start of Strange Fruit (Billy Holiday studio version). Maybe its just me.

@Stevieboy130664 I was feeling a little frustrated and vindictive, so I googled 'Emma Kirkby has no soul' and came up with your comment. Finally, someone who hasn't been blinded by 'The Dame'! She may have a good voice, but the emotion in her singing is very superficial. Yes, she acts it out facially, but not in a truly convincing way and not much at all vocally. A little too smooth and refined, if you ask me - lacking in real feeling. Whew, rant over.

Bravo! Emma. Exquisite.
