Listen to this, then tell me what you think !


Hi everyone,

I'm from Quebec-Canada, and I'm studying classical singing. Last week, a pop singer from Quebec release her first album. Go to her website.

In the lower left corner, you can choose to hear some samples. Choose "Reine de la nuit",(I think it's the fourth one) it means Queen of the Night in french, listen, then tell me what you think about that! Thanks!

I've just listened to the track you suggested. In a perverse way I found it intriguing but ultimately pretty dreadful. For what it's worth I was a professional singer for 10 years, & during this time I heard some great Queens of the Night (including Sumi Jo & Luciana Serra). Who is this album recorded for? Certainly not people who love opera. I also doubt that it would be successful on the pop charts. This young woman does not have a particularly good voice, & her top notes are not always in tune (this is a cardinal sin as far as I am concerned). This aria is odd repertiore for a pop singer. I'm not a purist when it comes to classical music (I love the "Aria" albums), but this woman really has gone too far! What did you think of it Little Baritone?

It's actually quite good, at least on the first time. It might very well be successful. Thanks for the link.

Different. I liked it.
