Aretha Franklin, America's renowned queen of soul, is currently looking for a new singing star, not someone singing pop or soul music of which Aretha's music based on, but an opera star! According to the NPR's website, the 69-year-old singer has opened an audition, for someone who is 18-40 years old and passionate to classical music, and was looking forward for their demo recorded in CDs or cassettes, adding that the 'Respect' singer is seeking "just the classical aspirants, just the people who are actively studying."
If one of you, my American friends, is interested for the audition, consider to sing Nessun Dorma, as NPR reports that the piece taken from Puccini's Turandot is one of her favorite classical aria which once sung by her during the 1998 Grammy Awards performance in her soul style obviously.
So, will you guys sign up for it?
