Beautiful.

"Wow, your kid is great. How hard'd you say you had to hit him?"

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as *music

Also why does the title say she's 9 but the description say she's 10?

I hated the lead in. My god that's an amazing voice.

Wow, obviously her singing is impressive but so is her composure and diction. Hard to believe she's 10.

[redacted]

I was really looking forward to the release of the demon of a 55 year old opera singer. I'm disappointed.

Amazing. I'm glad people post these videos, because there's no way in hell I can watch the other 99% of that God-forsaken piece of shit show.

I would.

Weird. My eyes/ears just don't believe that those two should match.

Considering she's just ten, this is an amazing voice, but please keep it real. Compare her performance of "O mio Bambino caro" to that of a seasoned opera singer on a pure technical basis and its crap. And nobody in their right mind would expect it to be different. This takes years and years of training. Not just talent.

Just compare a seasoned opera singer like Angela Gheorghiu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul9OTShQ_rc

or even the absolute top of opera singers Maria Callas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxy4qrnKwVo

Sorry, but the word opera star get's thrown around a lot, Eropeans might remmeber the Paul Potts, who, like this girl sings better than I ever could but is far from a professional opera singer.

BTW: Common wisdom among professional singer is that if you start to early with difficult parts like this, it will ruin your voice for life.

Wraith, please allow me to sum up your point. So what you're saying is, and correct me if I'm wrong, that this little 10 year old girl sings like crap when compared to adult, seasoned opera stars? That's your point? Really? .....Really?

This reminds me of this one time I was at a minor league hockey game. This small child, in one swift motion, got through all 5 of the opposing team's players and then pulled off such an amazing goal that it made the goalie dumbfounded. The entire crowd of parents erupted into cheering and praise for this kid, since he exemplified such a skill level that was far and beyond what he should have at his age. While I was slightly impressed, I made it a point to tell the parents cheering in the crowd that the kid's play is crap compared to Wayne Gretzky.

So I guess I can relate to how you feel.

Ya know, I can't stand these reality/talent shows since the day Ed McMahon did Star Search, but I'll be damned if that wasn't one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. She deserves every accolade and success she has coming. Here's to hoping it goes well for her and doesn't ruin her at such a young age.

@Abel_Prisc: I might have overreacted a little there, but I was reacting to the title of the Video "10-Year Old Releases Demon of 55-Year Old Opera Singer" and the general hype surronding "amateur" opera singers like Paul Potts (who had some professional opera training by the way) and the like.

To quote myself: "Considering she's just ten, this is an amazing voice"

Andrew Lloyd Weber is plotting to kidnap her as we speak.

Hell, I am plotting to kidnap her as we speak.

Wait, that's creepy. Okay, in nine years, I will plot to kidnap her...

oh geez never mind
