I YouTube “Pop-star to Opera-star”.
It is an uncommon singing competition, aired weekly in UK’s ITV, which features pop-stars competing to be an opera performer. the 2010 show begins with eight then-now pop-stars, they are Jimmy Osmond, Mcfly’s Danny Jones, 2002 Popidol winner Darius Campbell, Bernie Nolan, The Saturdays’ Vanessa White, Kym Marsh, Marcella Detroit and Alex James of The Blur. The show becomes really famously hilarious when the opera-stars-to-be find difficulty in different style of they every-time singing. To be a professional in this classical-style of singing, the competitors get a train from today’s famous opera-star, the mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins and tenor Rolando Villazon, who also both appearing as commentator in the live-show. Each singer will be given different arias every-week, from Mozart’s Figgaro Marriage to Porgy and Bess.
Since I dreamt to be an opera-star (look-a-like), I think this show is not only offering some ‘entertainment’, but also a chance of learning how to be a good singer according to classical-style of singing.
Interesting part:
- First week, when Blur’ Alex James showed up with different style of singing “Largo al Factotum”
- Trainer and singers always act ridiculously. They got different ‘interpretation’ of songs.
