Aye, I agree on that part, although her colorattura production doesn't bother me that much. Her ticks, though, are a hoot. in the Cenerentola video sometimes she looks like she's hooked up to electricity, but her acting (in Cenerentola and Barbiere) helped me overlook them (let's just imagine Angelina had a brief seizure ;P). I can forgive her ticks just as i can forgive Callas' ocassional wobbliness too :p (I'm speaking pratchett-esque, BTW)
