| 559408 | 2007-12-01 02:14:00 | Yeah, None of that text book definition of what is worthy means anything to me. Thats like people who claim there is just one true English and other such crutches to swing their elitist delusions off. I wonder how people knew what worthy singing was before some twit wrote a set of rules and insisted that only .000000001 percent were above the level of crapola. Must have been terrible times........... I dunno how he manages to do it, folks, but once again Metla tells it like it is, and without having to gab on and on about it. :thumbs: But I know what SJ is on about. When I listened to PPotts, I enjoyed it and still would like to get his CD. However, I thought that probably anyone trained in opera would not rate PPotts highly... and then also thought that I am glad my ears are not so refined as to not enjoy PPotts... if you can follow that. :D |

Must have been terrible times........... To prove that, you just need to hear "normal" untrained people sing waiata, then listen to Kiri Te Kanawa sing the same songs. When the Dame sings waiata, she follows all of those formal rules, and all of the feeling goes out of the waiata. Unlike some old untrained kuia singing them - the hair goes up on the back of your neck. |
