Ok... she is pretty amazing... but what an absurd song... You can pretty much tell that some composer decided... "'I'm going to write this to sound ridiculous hard to sing... as well as pretty much just sounding ridiculous...".

I don't know... maybe someone with an ear for opera can tell me i'm crazy but find listening to that painful.

Different culture, different times, different aesthetic values. There is plenty of virtuostic writing and playing in contemporary styles. Is it musical? Does it add to the whole of the piece? I'd say yes to both in this case.

Lyrics:
The ocean, too, appears to swallow
the vessel that you see
shattered by the storm.

Then it reappears, and it seems
to be raised by the stars.

She has a lot in common with Diva Plavalaguna.
Im sure she is very talented and this may appeal to the Pinkies Out crowd, but youll never find this on my IPoD. I'll compare this to shitting out a Presto_log, its a very rare and difficult act, but I wouldnt want to watch it or listen to it.

The composer wrote this quite probably for a talented interpreter of the period who was actually able to pull this off and make it sound whack!....Real easy to compose pieces impossible for the human voice to replicate, it's that fine-line between impossible and well-executed by very few that makes this piece an etude in extremes.

Oh, and this may or may not meet the "skillful" criteria ever in flux in the minder of the channel so-named....though if there was a moan-worthy channel it might fit there...BTW, this dame looks like she's more fun than an invasion-a chipmunks in a pup-tent!
