This is Maria Callas. She was a scandalous star of her period. But she has the ability to sing Gounod.
This is a young Charlotte Church. She’s not singing Gounod, but she is tune, and handle this kind of music.
And this is about the best thing I could find on New Zealand’s version of the X factor.
I do not think the reason I find most very modern bands artificial. To make the point, this is Natalie Imbrigula, singing “Torn” live.
I prefer the times when Callas was a pop star, and Church would have moved into Opera.
