looking at these comments I don't know why some people are criticising her she is a very talented singer she is not.an.opera singer she has not been classically trained and to do this in a short time is impressive
You know, Ross: critics are very often persons,who cannot do anything rather good.. what is frustrating them. so there's only criticism left to make the talented feel bad ! :-)
Tbh, you can't blame claire - she tried her best but it's the coaches idea for the song.. they tell her to jump and claire asks how high. Kudos to her for having the balls to do it.
U have to admit for them to train for only a week or 2 for a performance like this, it's pretty hard... It may not be a true bel canto, but as a Popera piece, it will do... Villazon is too funny! :-)
Seems like a hard song & she did great considering that it is only 1 week of rehersals! At least she sounds more like an opera singer now unlike Joe McElderry in my opinion!
I think everyone is missing the point. This has nothing to do with Opera. This is TV entertainment. This is where ordinary pop singers demonstrate just how impossibly difficult classical singing is. This is poking fun at pop singers in much the same way as "Strictly come Dancing" pokes fun at celebrities' inability to master ballroom dancing.
Si canta en una Opera, la hubieran pifiado tanto, que la hubieran hecho llorar!!!! pero como lo esta haciendo deportivamente, y en un lugar en donde solo el cinco por ciento sabe de Opera, y ademas es una estrella de pop, querida por miles SE LE PERDONA TODOOOO!
Sooooooo awkward....at least Rolando got a huge kick out of it rofl! I don't know what to laugh at more, her dog colouratura, Itanglish, or the fact that the audience is actually applauding...
