El Niño: “Magnificat”

[@paulpadillo4591]

One of the most compleat artists of our time. What a shame the Met couldn't find it's way to presend this as an HD. With so many important debuts, a vivid, brilliant production and Met premiere - it deserved to be preserved. I'm still scratching my head over this major mistake. For the record, last night's prima - heard on the air - was a triumph in every way.

One of the most profoundly overrated artists of today (and yet she still rarely is hired)

[@rominn2184]

Do you mean underrated?

[@cadenza5374]

@@rominn2184 no, i definitely mean overrated.

@@cadenza5374 ^ Saying "yet" suggests that you are surprised that she is rarely hired, but you've said she's overrated. So why are you surprised? Wouldn't it make more sense to say "she's one of the most profoundly overrated artists of today (and yet she is still hired"..? Your sentence doesn't agree.

[@cadenza5374]

@@rominn2184 my point is, despite her being quite overrated and lauded as a “great artist and singer,” she STILL is rarely hired by companies, which is an interesting combination.

@@cadenza5374 ^ Okay, that makes perfect sense. Your terms agree there. This isn’t what you’d said before.
