[@amberthely]

You critisize every singer in youtube singing this piece? Why?

[@pablomichel8560]

No mamen, NO es Jessye Norman

[@Tenortalker]

She gives it her all - and that is considerable! However even if you remain true to the spirit of the piece you cannot change the written notes to this extent. Basically it is now too high for her so she cuts or adapts the notes. I adore her, but wouldn't want the memory of all that great work tarnished in any way.

Tenortalker Agreed wonderful response

[@tubeheadquarters]

although I understand your response...I do not agree..Music is to be enjoyed...shes a living legend...she can do what she will at this point...shes up in age and having a blast

[@Karlinberlin1]

I love her. But, this is horrendous. Did she go deaf? There were points where she was singing completely random notes.
