I'm a romanian boy and I just finished studying at the same school that Angela Gheorghiu studied when she was a little girl. I'm proud because of this! Thumbs up for Angela Gheorghiu , a big star from ROMANIA!

@MsFinnishgal I'm a dramatic tenor, so there is not much for me to sing, I could sing spinto roles but I don't want to ruin permanently my voice, therefore, I'm in the orchestra pit, I'm a flutist :D

@parodycreator25 It would be very interesting to know something about your singing career! :) Thank you for chatting with me. I appreciate it. Have a nice weekend! :)

@MsFinnishgal I understand they use this for practice, for example this Habanera (l'amour est un oiseaux rebelle) is perfect for practicing the descendant D minor scale, and the jump from D minor to G major, for practicing and small audiences is perfect, because you can practice the musicality of all songs, but making commercial recordings and for big audiences or a full opera it's not OK and Bizet would not approve it. have a nice day! :D

@parodycreator25 I understand what you mean. All songs are not made for everyone.

My singing teacher gave me this song to practise, because this is suitable for my singing voice.

@CookieVeggieMonster I'm a teenager and I say shut the hell up. You wouldn't even be watching this video if you hadn't seen it on Family Guy and wanted to seem more intellectual just for listening to this song more.

@MsFinnishgal but, they have more than enough repertoire, they are stealing the mezzo's repertoire, but Mezzos can't do that, because people rage and post comments like: "it's so heavy, it's so dark" and stuff like that. everybody has a voice type and timbre for a reason, and composers knew that, Bizet made Carmen a Mezzo because gypsies usually have dark, smooth and a little heavy voices, sopranos are too light to make a real Carmen.

@MsFinnishgal also, the words lose its original sense in the translation, So it's better to sing it in the original language, if you want German, Mozart and Wagner, have beautiful arias in German, from Die Zauberflöte and Die Wallkure (or something like that) specially.

@parodycreator25 Beautiful songs are ment to be sang. It is everybodys right. I´m not going to put my singing on YouTube, don´t worry.
