I've got an issue in my mind regarding the subject...
Sarah, as a singer, seems to be held in really low regard in the classical (dare i say 'purist') community - and this is a thing that i can't fully understand.
Yes, she is a crossover artist - and many of the adaptations are positively awful - like those of Albinoni's Adagio or Beethoven's 7th Symphony Alegretto. Or the god-make-this-go-away mockery of Schubert's Ave Maria.
And yeah, one cannot deny that she's annoying with all this speak about herself having a gift from God ^_^.
But as far as the singing voice goes, it (from my limited undesrstanding), while definitely lacking some subtlety of the 'true' classical performers, is rich, of good diapason - and the control is pretty impressive, with confident coloratura.
So what is this strong disliking based upon?
Is there something about her voice that i don't understand?
Is her assumed inability to cover an audience without a microphone the case? I personally doubt that - considering the voice control.
Or the very fact of her being a crossover artist?
I myself can only feel pity that she's not working and developing as a classic artist, in the respective environment...
Sorry if i did a repost of a topic that's been talked out a dozen times
