It's not underrated, it's very limited for a strict public. And those who sing opera most of the times can't sing anything else, they can't coach them.

Apparently the judges agree: not a single one of them turned for her. (And for anyone who is thinking that my comment is sexist, it goes the other way around, too.

I think most opera singers just come on the voice because it is a main stream show and can help promote opera. Most of the judges cannot work with classical musicians..

[@samanthastover6887]

It doesn’t help the opera community at all. Some of these singers are not great, and the others need to focus on maybe working in the classical community. The truth is, if you’re a classically trainer singer worth your salt, you’ll find opportunities.

The girl who sang the song from the fifth element was incredible!!! That song is just impossible to sing because of the weird jumps and because it is so odd tonally. I'm glad the judges appreciated it :)

[@jacquelines.shirtliff8254]

In the fifth element some of the notes and cadences were produced electronically because the singer said they were impossible for the human voice. The electronics also produced a more "alien" sound which I think the director was going for.

[@billie-jobenway8658]

@@jacquelines.shirtliff8254 You are both correct but here is a woman singing it that comes breathtakingly close.

If either of you have heard one closer I would love to listen to. I am a huge fan of the song and the attempt to recreate it.

[@jacquelines.shirtliff8254]

@@billie-jobenway8658 I watched this video of Evgenyia Laguna about six months ago. Yes she is good but it was not purely human voice. Not my most favourite, sorry. If you listen carefully you can hear a lot of electronically produced notes between 4:00 and 4:20. I don't know whether this is because she can't sing the notes or because she is trying to reproduce closer to the original. Personally I think the latter is the case as I feel the whole production of this song was staged that way.

[@jacquelines.shirtliff8254]

@@billie-jobenway8658 I don't know about closer - who is to say one interpretation is better than another. I think the quality of the voice is the thing whilst trying to reproduce this very difficult song. Inva Mula, the singer on the original film soundtrack is such a brilliant opera singer in her own right, it is difficult to make comparisons. However, here are a couple of singers who (allegedly) sang this song without electronically enhanced notes. I think that's the point. The first is an Armenian girl, oddly enough performing in Russia's (?) The Voice. Some of her lower notes are a little insecure in the operatic section but the rock section is excellent and not an electronic note in sight that I could discern. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np6slpygpJymbpI. The second one is Jane Zang one of China's best sopranos. You will see that before the rock section she takes her ear piece out to show that she is not synced into any electronic notes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXvPY6iGg9h9e80. I hope the links work. Did you know that the operatic section is actually from an Opera by Donizetti. The aria "I'll dolce suono", (The sweet sound) is from the "mad scene" of Lucia di Lammermoor.

[@frankG335]

The woman who did "Toxic" has so many aspects to her voice that she could use to be unique as a pop star. That arrangement showcased a lot of her skills!

[@grisolkerekes]

I've read the comments and most of them say "It's not commercial" "Who would watch 2/3 hours of Opera?" "Fat" ... And I have noticed that the culture has gone down the drain. Gentlemen, a few years ago, there was a trio of tenors, Lucciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo, who filled stadiums, summoned MILLIONS of spectators in the WORLD ... And nobody cared if they were fat, short, bald or what . . . . We were going to hear their beautiful voices. Here the excuse is not that they are not commercial, it is that people prefer to pay for people who sing about how to subdue a woman or ass... And they call that culture.

[@c_p_a_r]

[@romangysse3690]

Honestly you can't miss the shallowness of the arts world today. Nobody can make a career anymore without being beautiful/handsome as if capacities or talents were delivered in a cocoon of beauty everytime. Just look at the judges reaction when they turn expecting something and are served something else, it's a shame. We should recognize talent for what it is instead of caring about looks when it doesn't guarantee any quality. In movies I can understand not wanting to spend hours watching someone you don't find appealing but it doesn't have to come before actual talent. In music it's obvious voice should be the first parameter and it's not. Learning people like Lady Gaga or Freddie Mercury had a hard time making a career because of their nose or their teeth is heartbreaking. It is even more outrageous in literature where writers can be denied because their picture wouldn't look good on backcovers. As the world is now governed by marketing we are now expected to like what society and social pressure tell us we should like based on beauty standards and norms. It's a shame to see culture, as you said, be reduced because the people who decide try to make money instead of creating art.

[@anniemossct]

@@JuliaK-ve2rw Yup, it's from the Fifth Element. If I'm not mistaken the original singer had to sing the song in parts during the filming. It's an extremely difficult song to sing exactly like the film version as the singer has to basically jump through every note on the scale in very quick succession. The rendition that came the closest was from a Chinese opera singer and even then it was extremely taxing for her. I think she had to train for months in order to get the song perfect.

There is also the possibility that these artists appeared late in the competition at which time many judges may have only one place left or none in their team. In those cases, you see them really enjoying the performance but sadly they can't turn their chair because either their team is full or there are waiting for a very specific voice to complete their team.
