Innocent Bystander: Who's your favorite singer?
Me: I have none; it's really hard to narrow it down.
Innocent Bystander: C'mon, just sum it up for me.
Me: I would rather hear Renee Fleming sing Puccini and Mozart arias, and I like her American music a lot, as well as her jazz and theater. Her German songs, particularly Strauss, rock. I love hearing Deborah Voigt sing Wagner. Natalie Dessay is always my favorite when it comes to anything and everything French, and her Mozart concert arias are unbelievable. Cecilia Bartoli and Joyce DiDonato tie for my favorite mezzo when it comes to just about everything. Placido Domingo is probably one of my two favorite tenors. I don't like his heavier repertoire as much, but it's still really good. Marcello Alvarez is my crush, and I love his voice as much as I do everything else about him. Bryn Terfel is also really cute, and has a gorgeous voice, especially for theater; he's my favorite bass-baritone.
Innocent Bystander: Oh, OK.
Speaking of which, did you see Joyce DiDonato win a GRAMMY??? First opera singer to ever perform there. She sung the final aria from "La Cerenentola". Remember, the opera I blogged about a few days ago? I didn't mention it, but that is one of my favorite mezzo arias. It's so glamorous. Watch her here:
