I'm deeply sorry if my singing caused all this repulsion to some of you... And I'm also very sorry if my looks bothered you so much, pc0sence, and by the way, I'm not preagnant yet :)*

I just wanted to inform you all that I quitted singing, and that way none of you will have to listen to me again.

Thanks richard, for trying to defend me from these people. And thanks to everybody who criticised me positively and apreciated my effort.

Sincerely,

Ana Cláudia Barbosa

Be careful not to take any of this to heart Ana - you gave a great concert, everyone loved it - youtube is a place where top professionals can be casually rubbished by a variety of unqualified jokers, ranging from complete ignoramus's to spiteful adolescents to 'would be' musicians. Most of them have got no videos of their own, and could never even get close to the level which they presume to criticise. This video is the fifth most popular on my site, with nearly 20,000 views - Well done !

Please don't quit singing just because some idiots were terribly mean to you. I think you have some serious potential, and I'm not just saying that. You have great pitch (something many singers have trouble with), and I think your higher notes (which are always harder for me to access) sound ringy and and bright. I hope you ignore these hateful people and rethink quitting singing!! You would make a lovely lyric soprano!

Sincerely,

Jillian Bonner, lyric soprano

It's constructive criticism - it's trying to be helpful. If the singer takes it badly and gets upset instead of using it to improve then they are just shooting themselves in the foot.

Que maravillosa voz tiene esta joven...mis verdaderas felicitaciones...atrevida...au­daz...no es una interpretación técnicamente muy precisa...sin embargo, en mi humilde opinión, su tono de voz, el enorme espiritú que trasmite, ese sentimiento de tristeza y dolor, es la caracteristica, vas muy bien y vas a llegar muy lejos....yo al menos compraría tus discos y con gusto a escucharlos.

@richtomes I totally agree with him , and seriously don't stop singing if this is what you love , of course you have a lot of work ahead but your doing it well , start to think about quiting after years of real effort without any progress , I think its not your case so keep on the good work and just put your heart on every note , not in the opinion of people ..

i think you shouln't have stoped with singing. you sound wouderfull. i can hear you still need to emprove some tehnical things. i find it sad that someone with the song in their heart stoped singing.

You have an amazing voice, and a beautiful tone. I absolutely love this. and that dress looks lovely on you. As a singer myself, I am impressed. Thank you for sharing this with us.

@Bonestinha I was not repulsed at all. I was searching for a version of this to practice so that I could learn some of the emotions being this piece. There is no question that you have a classical voice, I just think you need help with your diction (as all singers do). It makes me sad that if you take your craft seriously that you would quit. I have had bad recitals, juries, the whole lot, but im still here and much better than I used to be. So if you love it..then work at it to be better!

[caresmodee]

Don't be stupid! Don't quit! I enjoyed it!

[liriango]

Go! Go! Go! Yes! You are doing a great job! your voice is already very well trained and you have everything in you!Go on working in classical style,cause if you do , your liryc voice ,leger but with presence , has the future with no limits!
