Every one thinks to be an expert.... thank God it takes allot to be in the position for making an opinion that matters. She is the winner!

Une belle Marguerite dans un air archi connu dont elle surmonte bien les difficultés techniques.

[@SSMolchanov]

A+++

A great Marguerite

[@gillianwardle8813]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the vibrato. The trill needs a little work yet, but altogether she is on the way to becoming a favourite of the public.

[@1945Jill]

Agree about the vibrato but she is splendid all the same and deserved to win I think.

[@enthusedtosing9655]

Sounds like a large voice! (PS looks a lot like Harteros)

[@janwar68]

Keep that vibrato under control…….a little intrusive in such a young artist! There was a cadenza, where it was allowed to tip the pitch into a more higher one than was required!

[@mugrad25]

there is something scotto-esque about her

[@ezayi]

I ilke her timbre. Is actually a very good voice but her vibrato is too much... she needs to fix that. Sorry but, first price?

[@Huaimek861]

I agree , the vibrato is a serious problem , especially ruinous of her top notes . I think she needs to pull back on the top notes not so much volume and a more refined sound . Nicole Car is a beautiful actress who really puts across the character as if speaking the words . I hope someone will take her in hand and iron out the excess vibrato , could it be that she is pushing it too hard . .

David Barneby No chestvoice, off pitch several times and no trill...

[@draganvidic2039]

She needs better technique! Some off pitch singing. No trill and often strained. Better suited to this than Verdis Leonora in Trovatore. She is no spinto.

[@domi2020]

yes the vibrato is too wide
