I'm listening to the South Korean Opera singer Sumi Jo sing Ave Maria...and I am speechless! Her vocal control is fucking crazy...no wonder she's been voted to be one of the worlds current best Opera singers.

O Mio Babbino Caro

And...Maria Callas' O Mio Babbino Caro

Ahhh craziness...Sumi's voice is so clear, like a frigging bell. It's so clean, no show boating with overdone vibrato, just a crisp, clear note with utmost control. I wish she had more grit behind it like Maria Callas. But Maria Callas was amazing, she infringed on the limits of her range where as Sumi Jo is very controlled and careful. Less emotional but crystal clear and essentially perfect compared to Maria Callas so unperfect that it is unperfect approach.
Yeah...I listen to Opera, what?!
That and I really like classical when I'm not in my car. LOL
