Lisa Hirsch's Classical Music Blog. The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. Lovers, to bed; 'tis almost fairy time. Berce mollement sur ton sein sublime Ô puissante mer, l’enfant de Dindyme!
I think I would rather hear the original at 78 RPM.
Ahahahaha!
I briefly owned Thomas Hampson's Cole Porter CD, or whatever it was. That was the beginning and end of my crossover excursions. But then, there's always Loudon Wainwright's "Krugman Blues":http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/tny/2010/02/the-krugman-blues.html
My idea of crossover is Ezio Pinza in South Pacific or Bryn Terfel singing music hall songs.
Everyone in the world has sung "Hallelujah," so why not Renee?
Because, seriously, I can sing it better than she can. She phrases in a square fashion and hasn't got the rhythmic freedom to let it rock.
"Hallelujah" doesn't bother me much, but Renee Fleming singing The Mars Volta? WTF!!!
Hahaha!
