Ha! Aww thank you so much! This one of my favorite comments! I am thrilled I am making opera more accessible and easy to understand. I never did see the Eat Pray Love movie, I read most of the book though. That’s so cool they used this song. 😊😍

Aww thank you so much! It’s all good 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾

For some reason? Régis Mengus was one of the best boy sopranos of France, and now a great baritone.

Oh cool! I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing. It’s all good, the popularity of his video helped my video become more popular so yay Regis! 😊

Aww thank you so much!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun with the performance 😁😁😁

Thank you! 😍😍

Yeeeeeeesss! Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾😁😁😁😍😍

C’est faux? Pour quoi? 🙂

Care to explain?

Ha!!! 😂😂😂😂

Faut-il vraiment expliquer que par exemple le 7e sol est raté et déraillé ? Si vous n'avez pas d'oreille et si vous n'écoutez pas les vraies cantatrices, c'est difficile de comparer la partition de Mozart. Écoutez Edita Gruberova, par exemple. Mais pitié pas ça. Tout le monde a le droit de chanter, mais se mettre sur KZbin c'est s'exposer aux avis. Et là, cette charmante dame dans le rôle de la Reine de la nuit, c'est pas possible. Tu peux chanter fort ou gueuler, si la note est fausse, c'est horrible à l'oreille.

Writing in English, it’s easier for me: Hello again! I didn’t know what you thought was “horrible” & “false,” the Nigerian Nollywood concept or my singing. Thanks for taking the time to clarify (and also leave your previous comment). I am very pleased with how I sang this aria. The coloratura could definitely have been cleaner & more on pitch, I noticed that later, and I even thought about re-recording the video or using a different version where the coloratura was cleaner but I wasn’t as committed to the character. Ultimately, I decided to go with this version, because so what if the coloratura is not perfect? I prioritize communication, connecting to the audience & being the character over singing perfectly. To me, that’s what matters. If people want perfection, they could listen to a machine or a recording of Edita Gruberova, Diana Damrau. Why would they listen to me? Because of what I communicate, how I communicate & what I bring to the music and the character. That to me, is art. I am also especially proud of myself for even attempting this aria, I am “not supposed to” be able to sing it because it is not in my “fach.” Technically I am a lyric soprano. I didn’t even know I was singing high G’s that’s amazing! 😁 I only glanced at the sheet music and learned this aria mostly by ear in a few days. I did this deliberately, to help myself relax around making the aria “perfect.” The fach stuff etc. are just more silly rules that make opera even more inaccessible to the general public. Like this idea of a “real singer,” etc. Lol. No wonder people are turned off by opera and opera houses are struggling in the United States. I am a real singer. So is anyone who chooses to sing. Be it Edita Gruberova, Renee Fleming, Beyonce or that person singing karaoke in a bar, or you! 😊

Hi there! Thank you for your comment! Your English is great! 😊 Give Me Jesus is beautiful isn’t it? I am singing an arrangement written by African American composer Moses Hogan. It is from his “Deep River”collection. He has a book for high voice, which is the version I am singing, and another one for low voice. The books are on Amazon.com but you can get it cheaper by getting a used version on Thriftbooks.com. Here are links: 1) Deep River, Moses Hogan - Low Voice: www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-deep-river-collection---low-voice-ten-spirituals-for-low-voice-and-piano-vocal-library/13914646/ 2) Deep River, Moses Hogan - High Voice: www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-deep-river-collection---high-voice-high-voice-vocal-library/3304771/

You might also be able to get electronic copies of the sheet music as well. Check out Musicnotes.com or Musescore.com. And/or Google search. And/or ask Chat GPT (I use Chat GPT a lot too, I love it!)

Final tip, if you download the amazing app Appcompanist, the Moses Deep River collection is on there for you to listen to, I requested that they add it and they did! It is played by professional pianists in all keys! Appcompanist does cost money but you can download for free and listen to sample songs. Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions or need additional assistance! 😁

@@chichienu Dear Sister, peace to you! Due to the time difference, it is now 8 AM in Taiwan, and I just saw your reply. I am truly grateful to you! This version of the sheet music is available for purchase in Taiwan, and I have already ordered it online. Once it arrives, I will study it carefully. I thank God for allowing me to see your video and hear such beautiful music, truly music out of this world! I am a nurse, and currently, I serve in my church by playing the piano and cello. May God strengthen us in our service to Him, and may we receive abundant grace. I also pray that God blesses you, that your cup may overflow!
