Bernstein: I feel pretty (West Side Story) - DiDonato 

She managed ruined the song. On the other hand opera singers can ruin anything. No one is surprised.

@@yogajedi3337 Completely agreed

Though it was written for B’way……..

yosoydeyarumal es un guapo!!.

😂

😂

+Nada Intelectual Perhaps it was a concert for somewhat "difficult" audience and only few believed in its success. There are some members of the orchestra, feeling quite pretty though. Nevertheless, the performance was beautiful and Joyce - I guess - spreaded her "feeling of joy" around. I'm sure it stays in memory of many of the audience. Takes a great artist to do that. :)

I thought I could see quite a few of them smiling :)

Austrians. Known only for their wild sense of humor more than Germans...

She is a soprano! Idk why she considers her self as mezzo

@@kyriakosanastasiou5653 what do base you expertise on? She is what she says she is. Outside people dont get to dictate what people are or are not.

Damian Swist 😂💀

If I owned that dress I would never stop wearing it

+Edson J. Cornejo And the dress is beautiful! :)

right?

Tat dress is splendid!!!!! I not only wish I owned it, but wished I rocked it like she does!

Generally not - when singers sing Schumann, Schubert, Mahler, Strauß songs the lyricist is seldom mentioned. I doubt the majority of music lovers even know who wrote the text to Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben or Schubert's Wintereise

@@Yves_Ka I see lyricists credited all the time. I Feel Pretty " is a popular song from an American musical. It has a composer and a separate lyricist. If a musician or an orchestra plays just the music then sure. Composer only. But when someone sings the words, the person who wrote those words should be credited. In my humble opinion, of course. Clearly, some others don't agree.

@@aresee8208 It is pretty much the same with opera librettists. Mozart's da Ponte and Verdi's Piave and Boito are kinda well known - but does anybody remember who the librettists were for the dozens of Donizetti and Bellini and most Puccini operas?

@@Yves_Ka Well, if someone knows the music from West Side Story but doesn't know Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics, that's on them. Not because Sondheim is obscure.

I would not be judgmental and say “it is on them” - on the other hand if you have a problem that the majority of music lovers don’t know who the librettists are, that remains your problem

What do you think the ''original soundtrack'' is?

He certainly is

Jotdee Lyrics were changed in the film, the original musical song sang "Bright/Tonight" :)

Jotdee. The word 'gay' has changed its meaning. If she used the original lyrics, it would be embarrassing.

hehehehehehehehehehehhehehe

You no hear da Porto Rico gringo speka da long time

She thinks she's a goat and sings with a vibrato that imitates a goat, lol.

I didn't say that either way. LOL

+Kimberly Froberg At the end of the day... she is JOYCE DIDONATO!! (what a woman she is!!)

Natalie Wood didnt sing in the movie it was Marni Nixon .

Bob Downes it was originally written as an opera. That is how Bernstein wanted it.

@@marthamckay3883 No one cares how it was written. It's too heavy. Check lighter versions and you might understand.

With their over the top annoying vibrato a trained opera singer can ruin any music.

Jhanaya Cox explain please...

Don't torture yourself. Don't listen to it.

Clark - go listen to Bernstein's own recording of this musical - complete with opera singers. Cant be so wrong if the composer used them too

@@Yves_Ka You are just stupid, unmusical and an horrible individual! If you don't like it, don't listen, idiot!

@@mauriziocasa9203 I love DiDonato - what are you talking about?? You notice I was referring to the contributor with the name of CLARK. This person has removed his comment so it is not quite clear why I wrote what I wrote. He was complaining about opera singers singing musicals - so I dont know what your problem with me is
