More like for exposure

Agreed.

well they freaking deserve it like dayum those are voices

I know right 😆

These are not opera singers. Do some research and learn the difference between opera and popera.

@MechaGodzillaand you’re clearly too young to know what grammar is.........

JHud would like a word

I don't know who that is I don't listen to main stream music

If you sing opera you might wrong when enrolled to this type of contests. What can the judges teach you, really 🤣

@MechaGodzilla don't compare opera with Jennifer. Yes Jennifer is a very good singer but opera is on a whole another level.

I totally agree.

True, but only the two who sang the Flower Duet were proper opera singers in this particular video.

Not true. Most of them are only are good at barking loud I´m afraid.

@@fezzik7619 I agree, one may imitate the operatic sound, but true opera requires certain singing technique that is on a different level.

@@fezzik7619 I was wondering about that!

I totally agree

They don't actually. The are not opera singers. NOT ONE!

@@margaretvignola4366 what kind of drugs are you on?

@@margaretvignola4366Is that really what you believe? As a lover of the opera, I feel like many of them could be operatic performers, granted some may need fine tuning, but to say the 2 girls performing that beautiful rendition of Lakme’s Flower Duet is not of operatic quality is ridiculous.

Judges don't hit the buzzer coz they are afraid as they don't have any knowledge to handle Opera arts. 💔

Opera singers are so good very few stands listening to them for more than a few minutes.

Indian singers tooo

@@shrishteesoobaruth1325 😂😂😂 you know how to 'cook' those voices in studio right? AND that's why there's NO such of Bollywood singing live show 😂

@@lucetothebridge bruhh educate yourself

There is jhud in the coaches. She is better than all, she can even sing opera

Yes ! 😭

Yes

yes.

Lea Salonga

Many of them say "I can't work with that" which is really sad.

Agree

Yes I agree. Opera has always been one of my most favourite genre of music and the fact I practice a bit of opera because I just generally love opera singing 🤧😭✋

Maybe bcs most of them don't know what to do with opera singers in current mainstream industry and they can't improve what the opera singers already have

It's not underrated, it's very limited for a strict public. And those who sing opera most of the times can't sing anything else, they can't coach them. They'd have to bring unpopular coaches from metal bands like Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Manuela Kraller or Simone Simons in order to take them out of that genre.

Productions are expensive to stage, so unfortunately the tickets can be very dear, but as this program demonstrate there are lots of talent around, who could be used for more modestly staged wonderful operas

She’s so cute too! 🥰

@@AndySaenz she an aria written for a male voice.... WTF?

@@margaretvignola4366 You're talking about the wrong asian woman. I think they mean the heavy girl who's song was something I've never heard before. But, to your point, the girl trying to sing Nessun Dorma proved why women should never try to sing a man's aria: no matter how good they are, their voice won't carry it off and it won't fit the story. Apparently the judges agree: not a single one of them turned for her. (And for anyone who is thinking that my comment is sexist, it goes the other way around, too. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen was a man singing "O Mio Babbino Caro." Preposterous!)

@@andhisband They didnt turn for Gemma bcs they couldnt, their teams were already full, the only one who could was the Hatter. You can see they very wanted to support her, at least the ladies.

@@tomaskuchta1000 Of course, because the ladies will always support the ladies, no matter the stupidity the ladies are engaged in. Stunning, brave, you go girl. Pfft.

But she still turned

Lolll

That was an honest humble statement from the judge It is like a general doctor cannot teach a student to be a dentist

The Magic Flute is one of my favourites - Mozart shocked the opera world pushing the traditions. Sung in German (at a time when operas were only sung in Italian) and incorporating singing scale notes rather than words. Far from easy and grossly underrated. This young woman was the perfect person to push perceptions too!!! Brilliant!

I guess these judges never heard of Symphonic Metal.

I agree in the main. I even think I heard one judge say "I don't know what I can do with this".

They have better singing voices than any other people. It has to be pitch perfect.

The problem is opera is not the theme of the show unless the performera can take their vocals into other genres otherwise it won't work.

Lennox I agree with you. It’s actually a special genre with its own educated audience.

Exactly what I though.

Except for Kelly Clarkson. She's been vocally trained in opera and knew what to do with the contestant she turned for.

They're not a smart and talented as they think they are. They also don't want to sound bad in comparison

Kelly and Jennifer both have opera/classical training. Jennifer has even performed a few opera pieces herself, they both have openly started their love for opera. And will in the first clip was going nuts..

@@isisgeorge3332 That's fantastic! I just wish they'd demonstrate their appreciation a little more often.

@@forliberty1805 And there is quite a bit to work with. While the lady did well on the Queen of the Night, she needs training on how to do the very high notes. She has yet to learn about how to shape the mouth to do those notes right. Now the ladies on the Flower duet, they were just sweet.

Not 100% "perfect" but that piece was originally written to be unsingable by humans, so the fact she even got close to it and still sounded amazing is impressive.

they just dont want to ruin them by asking them to sing other genre I think. And they maybe think they are (the coaches) dont have the capability to train a classical

Not one of these contestants was a real opera singer, so what do you know.

Forcing them to sing another genre would ruin their training. They specifically trained to be an opera singer, not pop, not rock, not anything else but opera.

@@yogajedi3337 Could you be any more delusional?

Singing an opera song doesn’t make you an opera singer lol. I’ve taken voice lessons my whole life, several of which have been with professional opera singers, and I can sing MANY opera songs but am NOT an opera singer. Several of these people are definitely not opera singers... probably classically trained singers though ☺️

I love Lea's voice! Not even just in Aladdin, just in general.

As an opera singer, it’s very much appreciated

There were no opera singers here. They were POP singers. They can't be called opera singers because they don't produce sound correctly. fact!

@@margaretvignola4366 this is also true

Accurate!

Let's NOT call it that

Same. The UK version needs Katherine Jenkins as a coach.

yup

@@nicolesauces30 Will I Am helping the first girl with the Paint It Black rendition was amazing, though. Her voice and his direction created such a great performance!

Kelly Clarkson has an opera singer on her team this season and she is very versatile. But Kelly was classically trained as the other coaches most likely were not.

That's what's telling us the art industry has gone worse.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, so it must be

I actually cried when I heard it

I think part of the reason the judges don’t typically turn around for opera is that opera is very distinctive, and most musicians either can’t hit operatic high notes or aren’t trained to sing opera so it makes it difficult for them to train them

I agree! In the country where I am originated this type of voice or act doesnt appreciated or sometimes they make fun of it, coz for them its somekinda source of boredam. We only have I think less than 10 local known opera singers with less album sales, with no more existing careers and frequently seen in entertainment shows and programs.😢

They get the recognition they deserve. Absolute nothing new of interest is happening in the genre. It s the same incomprehensible tunes over and over again.

This is not the kind of music loved nowadays unfortunately...

Some singers like Dimash are making it more accessible for this modern era by mixing different styles while still keeping his classically trained voice and I love that... He's what got me more interested in opera >

Yea that's true

Parfaitement d' accord avec vous Mlle Lauretta sur tout ce que vous avancez !!

Lauretta- What you said reminded me of the scene from "Pretty Woman". Truer words never said about opera.

My tears kept on falling everytime I listen to Opera.

@@user-yc2kd2op2g same here.

Dimash kudaibergan version is beyond this world!

Seen a few and all were pretty impressive, though none QUITE nail every part of it because that piece was designed to be unsingable by humans.

Aw thank you so much!! ☺️💕 that was/is my dream, however you need lots of money to pursue it to that degree, I couldn’t afford drama school, was going to cost around £300.00 to even travel to London and audition for ONE school, taking into consideration audition fees, train fare, hotel costs if you get a next day callback and call back fees, then you’ve got to magic up £13,000 per term for some places. Often you can’t even get in the audition room without a certain school under your belt. It’s a struggle, I’m vocal coaching a lot at the minute and auditioning/recording when I can. Don’t know if I’ll ever get to the big stages but I’m happy to go the long way round for as long as I can. X

@@RuthLockwood Wait was it really you? That was very creative and extremely impressive.

@@RuthLockwood you need more exposure. Have you considered coming to the U.S. and trying out for America's Got Talent?

@@forliberty1805 haha who’s paying? 😂 thank you for the thought though, exposure is hard to come by and is all very well and good but I have that word thrown at me a lot, often by people who don’t want to pay for Art. I’m doing ok, anyhow, I teach music and I do concerts/shows, I’m currently playing Eva Perón in Evita. X

@@RuthLockwood That's awesome!

Maybe a better mix of judges. The same thing gets said about "Rockers"... Maybe they need 6 judges with wider range of experience. Need to be able to cover whatever a performer can throw at them. X-FACTOR seems to have the right formula plus the "Got Talent" shows are better produced. For instance, AGT, BGT and all the other "Got Talent" shows along with X-FACTOR...don't shy away from any talented performer...regardless of the talent.

@@IKatchSkams put Lea Salonga to be one of the judge.

0:39 is like the sound from adventure time were finn and jake turn to birds lol

Sure, it's clever.. but all they needed was exposure really. So auditioning, despite the singers being far above the judges' abilities. Is still good for them

@@flare2393 Thats because they took it from the Queen of nights Aria, because its the same piece XD

Thats called talent.

But he still didn't turn around. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😜🙄

LEA SALONGA!!!

The only contemporary singer now that could help would be amy Lee of Evanescence

Global Edition. Bring aspiring opera singers from all over the world. Challenging with different language backgrounds, but WORTH it!

Omg, yes... we totally need that

Agreed!!

I love how Jennifer was breathless, just... *chef's kiss*

Cos then we could call it The Real Voice!!👏🏻

Can you afford all that talent? How do you get all these singers together at one time? I suggest that they have a separate show just for opera singers with coaches that know what they’re talking about. I doubt this could happen but we can dream.

Andrea bocelli would also b a very good addition

Elina Garanca as well...

@@stanleydominic8634 he's a pop singer, not an opera singer.

The only singer in the world what can he do diva dance,the fifth element,is dimash kudaibergen

@@ritasettanni4329 Dimash compresses some octave jumping into a single octave. But in the original in the movie, that part was electronically mastered, not actually sung that way which is probably humanly impossible.

@@mikenolan8044 dimash kudaibergen makes the song diva dance more interesting

@@ritasettanni4329 Yes he does. While many singers are out to show off technical skills with things like this, Dimash here and elsewhere is out to entertain, which he does very well. With him technical skills are merely the beginning.

Yeah Salonga is musical theatre royalty lol. Even to this day, I still haven't heard someone sing 'on my own' from Les Mis better than she does it.

@@jamescopeland8050 Yes, she will be the one and only best Èponine.

I know this is obvious, but she is THE Eponine. Her belts aren't shouty, and I love her tone. Lea is something else

Many don't understand sophisticate music, they used to grow with screaming sounds with running all over the scene.

@@adamusolf3609 it's not a matter of sofistication. It's a matter of exposure. The fact that most people. In the comments though those singers were amazing shows the lack of exposure. Since they were all terrible, they sound nothing like opera singers.

As an all out rocker I can appreciate the power behind an operatic voice and can find it very moving.

Exactly

For real, how do they even do that with their voice

@@wildin1170 Years and years of training. Took me 8 years to get to where I'm at vocally now as an opera singer, but the learning never really stops.

❤

Lea Salonga is a coach in the Voice Philippines

@@mlawalkthrough yes

me too

Classic music always touches to listener heart

me too

Someone once told me that with Opera, one doesn't need to understand the language, but to feel the emotions, the ups the downs of the voice, let it takes you to heaven with the high notes, and down into the valley with the low notes. Just feel.

Her voice is astounding, sounds like she’s been singing opera professionally for 30 years.

Agreed

.... no.. no.. no.. chylę czoła... oczy łzami mi nabiegły... i się ich nie wstydzę.. to dziewczyna zrzuciła mnie ze skały w... otchłań... Turandot. Gemma Nha...głos satyny jedwabiu..

That was lit

It wasn't remixed. Are you talking about the first singer?

Yah I mean the music arrangement

U know, it should be played by some sort like an orchestra, but it is changed into upbeat tempo

Which make my reaction same as Will

I have to disagree - opera singers cannot automatically sing every other genre as if those were subordinated to opera. Which, of course, they`re not.

Yeah diana damrau. 🥰🥰

@@holgervoigt4315 That's not necessarily true. It's a LOT easier to sing Pop if you learn Classical first, than the other way around. Classical music laid the foundations for many other popular genres of music today, so some of the fundamentals included work well with other genres of music.

@@MagicalBread I`m not saying it has to be so. Part of the problem may be that there is no real definition as to what is pop and what not. The influence of traditional, i.e. folk music on pop is greater imho than classical. But I agree that a sound training at a conservatory will be of great use to pop artists.

Yeah but at the same time it's like putting a lot of difficulty in the competition and do mind this is set by country, how do you pit an opera singer against a country singer? It's like making a classic Disney film and make it compete with anything else, it just can't lose so easily

It doesn’t help the opera community at all. Some of these singers are not great, and the others need to focus on maybe working in the classical community. The truth is, if you’re a classically trainer singer worth your salt, you’ll find opportunities.

@@samanthastover6887 I kinda agree that some of them arent that great but I think, they somehow help promote opera in the mainstream.

You should watch Mica Becerro from the Philippines. She sang opera to introduce that kind of music to her fellow Filipinos. Lea Salongga picked her❤️🤘

@@samanthastover6887 totally agree. Some of these singers have nothing to do with opera. And the opera, to be honest, doesn't need advertising. It's really strange how judges react to average singers. It's like they've never heard good operatic vocals in their lives...

Анна Honestly! And it only takes a 5 second UKposts search to find incredible opera singers that absolutely destroy these people 😂

I always considered classical music the standard to measure all other music, since its the period where music reached its peak.

all music?

@@slumberstudio4757 Yes.

No i don't think so, thats a very pigeon holey way to think

Absolutely not. The whole idea runs contrary to any concept of artistic and cultural tolerance. Any music genre is worth the same as any other and musicians tend to show that respect to each other.

Thank you ☺️✨

I'm with you

Very well said.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Honestly you can't miss the shallowness of the arts world today. Nobody can make a career anymore without being beautiful/handsome as if capacities or talents were delivered in a cocoon of beauty everytime. Just look at the judges reaction when they turn expecting something and are served something else, it's a shame. We should recognize talent for what it is instead of caring about looks when it doesn't guarantee any quality. In movies I can understand not wanting to spend hours watching someone you don't find appealing but it doesn't have to come before actual talent. In music it's obvious voice should be the first parameter and it's not. Learning people like Lady Gaga or Freddie Mercury had a hard time making a career because of their nose or their teeth is heartbreaking. It is even more outrageous in literature where writers can be denied because their picture wouldn't look good on backcovers. As the world is now governed by marketing we are now expected to like what society and social pressure tell us we should like based on beauty standards and norms. It's a shame to see culture, as you said, be reduced because the people who decide try to make money instead of creating art.

Exactly

You are SO right !! I hate these stupid heads of the judges, looking if they see water on fire...not knowing how to judge these supertalents...

@@RuthLockwood OMGGG HIIIII

@@RuthLockwood is it really you?!?!!!

In the fifth element some of the notes and cadences were produced electronically because the singer said they were impossible for the human voice. The electronics also produced a more "alien" sound which I think the director was going for.

@@jacquelines.shirtliff8254 You are both correct but here is a woman singing it that comes breathtakingly close. Although this singer above is very good the one I reference comes the closest I have ever heard. I have it downloaded and listen often. So beautiful. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i4CXZneFoYuT040.html

If either of you have heard one closer I would love to listen to. I am a huge fan of the song and the attempt to recreate it.

@@billie-jobenway8658 I watched this video of Evgenyia Laguna about six months ago. Yes she is good but it was not purely human voice. Not my most favourite, sorry. If you listen carefully you can hear a lot of electronically produced notes between 4:00 and 4:20. I don't know whether this is because she can't sing the notes or because she is trying to reproduce closer to the original. Personally I think the latter is the case as I feel the whole production of this song was staged that way.

@@billie-jobenway8658 I don't know about closer - who is to say one interpretation is better than another. I think the quality of the voice is the thing whilst trying to reproduce this very difficult song. Inva Mula, the singer on the original film soundtrack is such a brilliant opera singer in her own right, it is difficult to make comparisons. However, here are a couple of singers who (allegedly) sang this song without electronically enhanced notes. I think that's the point. The first is an Armenian girl, oddly enough performing in Russia's (?) The Voice. Some of her lower notes are a little insecure in the operatic section but the rock section is excellent and not an electronic note in sight that I could discern. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oJ16mZ-hpm2kmWQ.html. The second one is Jane Zang one of China's best sopranos. You will see that before the rock section she takes her ear piece out to show that she is not synced into any electronic notes. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/o3qdZquHhal7pp8.html. I hope the links work. Did you know that the operatic section is actually from an Opera by Donizetti. The aria "I'll dolce suono", (The sweet sound) is from the "mad scene" of Lucia di Lammermoor.

Actually it wasn't, sorry to say..

There is also the possibility that these artists appeared late in the competition at which time many judges may have only one place left or none in their team. In those cases, you see them really enjoying the performance but sadly they can't turn their chair because either their team is full or there are waiting for a very specific voice to complete their team.

You could see them saying that during the performance. The Queen of the Night girl was not really all that good for opera, but she was blowing minds from the pop world. But they all turned all the same. Now I want to know what happened later.

What is the somg name ?!

she was one of the last to perform, Will and Tom were with the full teams

She was excellent too! I've listen to many, many versions of that aria and she was up amongst the best of them.

yes

Are you blind?Check again!Two of them did.

I know, She was amazing.

Yes. She's from the voice Thailand.

I have never heard of that, the Diva Song?! Wow!

@@JuliaK-ve2rw Yup, it's from the Fifth Element. If I'm not mistaken the original singer had to sing the song in parts during the filming. It's an extremely difficult song to sing exactly like the film version as the singer has to basically jump through every note on the scale in very quick succession. The rendition that came the closest was from a Chinese opera singer and even then it was extremely taxing for her. I think she had to train for months in order to get the song perfect.

Loved her performance. If you love music then all genres are valid and opera isn't exclusive to the wealthy or well educated. Music is for everyone and a great voice is a gift to the soul.

All I can see when I hear it is Leeloo fighting!!!

Words of truth.

Busca a Dimash Kudaibergen y escúchalo por favor

Yep, the judges are focus on pop or hip hop.. This opera singers are way above their ability

Actually ther is still no version sung by human voice with the computer composed part of the original song even if there is getting close, listen carefully ! And for the list agree with dimash who is perfect, never heard so hyang sang the song and the third i have to desagree (weak performance, no core in the voice and not that precise !)

Oooh yes Dimash's version is phenomenal. The fact he’s a male

The 2nd one is the best, Jane So Hyang, I didn't know her. She sings great!

I think Dimash sang it better than the original.

Yes, Dimash's best ever! Phenomenal!

OMG I agree. I sang for many years, including Lakme and Queen of the Night, and all but the duet were...no.

If you're interested, I'd recommend watching the opera "Carmen". It is extremely iconic, and you might recognize a few of the songs! "The Magic Flute" is also really good. Opera is so under appreciated, so thankyou.

@@MagicalBread thank you!!! I will watch it later❣️

@@MagicalBread listen to Il Volo ,those boys got it.

I highly recommend that you watch the UKposts channel of Sol3 Mio, three young guys from Samoa/New Zealand. They have Masters degrees in Opera Singing from the top opera academy in Wales. They include some popular songs in their repertoire and bring both humour and pathos into their performances. I think you’ll like them.

Listen to Maria Callas, she was one of the best opera singers ever. The people call her “La Divina” that means “the divine”. Hear her singing “Casta Diva” and “Habanera” :D
