Thank You a million times for taking this necessary measure!!!! Vielen Danke!!!

Thanks for the clarification. You could explain what you mean...or stay in your tower of superiority. At least this soprano has consistency and legato. Better style than you get at the MET these days.

I see that she has gone on to have a great career in the world's best houses, singing not only Mimì but also Violetta and Tatjana.

Dear Vince C, we appreciate your opinion - but it's perfectly sufficient to post a comment only once. Therefore, we deleted your additional comments below this video which had the identical content. Furthermore, we deleted another comment of yours. We appreciate also critical responses, but yours was a bit over the top. Please refrain from any personal attacks or insults. Thank you. (fw)

But won!

Heard her in La Boheme in Opera de Paris this December and just in one word: Magnifique! A very moving interpretation of Mimi.

Yes, she has a good voice, but her sound is nothing more spectacular then most students from postgrad conservatory. Her hard core marketing in Australia and enormous grants have put her on the opera stardom, not because she is outstanding voice but beause she was proclaimed to be Creme de la creme of opera. There are so many expectonal voices nowadays that if you compare her voice to most of them it would be rediculous even to attempt comparison.

Esattamente.

Both are you are too critical imho. She is still very much a "freshman". Not realistic if you expect her to come to a competition with all you listed and comparing her to the big names. From the evidence of this performance, she is already way above the postgrad conservatory standard. I doubt a postgrad delivers a performance of such standards in front of such an audience. Her voice is consistent thru out the registers and the tone is even of production with no juddering of tone or wobble on the high notes. Her singing style, as of now, is unitalianate, but that can be improved. I'm surprised she managed to tackle the cabaletta with ease. Anna Netrebko sounded like a toothless hooting tiger in this. Nicole Car has put in a lot of effort here and it shows.

A toothless hooting tiger! hahaha!

you cannot verdian sopranos, but some ladies can do a really good work

Yo no conozco la primera cantante que por cantar algo arruine su carrera...cuáles conoces tu?

her low notes are beautiful. she actually has voce di petto! her middle though... it’s an epidemic in today’s artists

@@lamb4mc Her chest voice is woofy and mixed. If she wound develop a true chest voice the rest of her voice would also open up more.

you do realize that you are using the term "vibrato" incorrectly, right? Like most people of your culture who use Italian words without even knowing what they really mean.

Togenicha Yavok Credo che la parola e corretta. This is a gorgeous instrument which seems to be pushed for volume on certain notes.

El vibrato suena como debe ser, escucha a Maria Callas con la misma aria y te darás cuenta que el vibrato es muy parecido a Nicole. A mi me parece que tiene una técnica excelente, manejo los medios y los altos con una excelente colocación.

Yes on the top notes it is obvious that she has tremolo.

D'accordo.
