It is fine to dislike a singer, his/her voice, etc... But being disrespectful is a reflection of your poor character. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth closed and hide the fact that you're a fool rather open your mouth (in this case putting fingers to keypad) and removing all doubt.

There is a weight to her voice even here, that while it makes her Carmen, Eboli, and especially Amneris untouchable, it does not allow a true soprano floating tone- even when she nobly attempts it. Still- I adore her incredible and distinguished voice.... So happy I got to hear her Amneris live!

Sonny Italiano I didn't laugh, but Bumbry was really never a soprano. I admire her dedication, but was never a fan of the voice and same for Callas, admired the acting, but the voice...meh. Bumbry's upper range is consistently unwieldy, out of tune, and lacks beauty. And although in this aria she attempts a subito piano after the high note, she takes a huge breath before, breaking the musical beauty of the line. Shirley Verrett was able, vocally, dramatically and artistically to manage a career in both mezzo and some soprano roles, including Wagner, not easy to do. Listen to Verrett's Vissi and marvel at both her acting and singing artistry.

sopranos and mezzos only differ by a semi-tone but the tell tale sign of a mezzo soprano or underdeveloped soprano is the high notes..youd expect a natural soprano to sound bright, rounded, warm, easy on the Bflat which even isnt all that high for a soprano.The Bbflat sounds like its at the top of her range...theres a ceiling to where the spin sounds stuck and forced.
