An all purpose advice blog especially for subjects that I know nothing about. Need help with your egret? Flux capacitor on the fritz? Old Uncle Wilhelm finally come clean about the 40's? You've come to the right place!
Blob, I hate to be a pessimist (ok I lied, I love it!) but after going to school with (seemingly) thousands of singers who think and act--and of course sing!--in the same manner as this dorkwad, I just don't think there's any stopping these people. I do know that I told this story to several people, all of whom cringed upon hearing the gruesome tale. I can't wait to be famous enough to slap those suckers off the stage. Even if it means I'd have to sing Nessun Dorma myself. At least in that case it would be performed in its original key.
I was just thinking about this very thing on the way home...no, not you singing Nessum Dorma but of the huge market available for semi-pop/operatic heart throb doofuses with little or no talent. Stef Carse (as in carse-ickness)just about ruined the famous aria at today's show but you are right; There is no accounting for the public's taste and he has tapped into the Helmut Lotti, Il Divo, Classical Baebes, André Rieux audience who may not be able to discern that he is a pretender even among the ranks of these semi-talented but cynical, classical-crossover hacks.I'd suggest you stop practicing, get together an excellent management team or even better, marry an impressario, and hit the road. You could be rolling in dough in no time!!
I was more than a fly on the wall for this one, and I have to say that Blobele is not exaggerating. En plus, if Maria wants to continue to be recognized as a member of the distinguished Callous family, she better not take your advice and give up practicing and go on the road. Heaven forbid I should read a review that compares her to Steph Carse or Celine Dion!
