Apr 21, 2008 - this is very moving, I just bought this music today, hopefully it will sound half this decent in my voice, i'm not so much of a lyric sop, more of a coloratura.... but this literature is so beautiful to me, especially the way you do it! KIUp!! You should listen to Anna Moffo sing it, you're up there with her

Jun 14, 2008 - As a neighbor and a friend of her, I did not know that she was this popular to the public. She is not only an incredible singer, but also a great person with a warm heart. She never hesitates helping people and takes care of my kids whenever I need. Love to see her performance here. She does not perform much in her residence area, so I have not had a chance to see her perform. Wonderful !!

Jun 16, 2008 - not true. fashion is an essential factor in almost all aspects of the world. why do you think people spend millions on fashion and on advertisements?

Aug 4, 2008 - I'm so tired of comments like this. Cynthia IS an opera super star and has been for some time. Just how many opera superstars can you name? Luciano Hogaroti?

MusicAAmore Says:

Aug 4, 2008 - She is an opera super star and has been for some time. Now the question is, why don't YOU know that? How many opera super stars can you name? Luciano Hogaroti?

Aug 6, 2008 - How many can you name moron? NONE I SEE. Who are you to say you're tired of anything? If you're tired of comments such as the one i've posted... STOP READING THEM! Also, if you want to state your opinion, make sure you don't make a fool of yourself... did you mean Luciano Pavarotti? Idiot.

Aug 6, 2008 - Hogaroti? LMAO... what the hell are you talking about, a sandwhich? LOL. Scram bum!

Aug 12, 2008 - If you prefers straight-tone, fine, but there is no question that vibrato is part of healthy singing. Straight-tone often causes throat tension and is vocally tiring. Read a book by Richard Miller, or ask a voice teacher at a music school, or even a speech pathologist. Vibrato may not be popular in some arenas (like some choirs), but singers and listeners can make their own choices. Yes, vibrato CAN be excessive but Haymon by nature has a bigger voice with more vibrato. Each voice is different.

Aug 12, 2008 - In response to comments on her attire - that could be something to do with her heritage. Or she could have a style different from social norms...so what? Some comments are very judgmental about her singing. No, it wasn't technically perfect throughout, but she's human. All of the good qualities about this performance show how much work has gone into her music-making. If you like straight tone, listen to straight tone, but take lessons for a few years before you give other people singing tips.
