Wow, that was harsh. Why did you feel it necessary to advertise his language inadequacy to the whole world? It might have been a nice gesture to take that to a private e-mail. Frankly, I couldn't get enough of a feel for the German -- the An die musik wouldn't work on my PC and the Standchen was too short (I was having computer problems last night). There are professional singers out there with many more years of study who have atrocious German as well.
<< And, really why should you care what gazillions of perfect strangers have to say about your singing? Why not to trust yourself and the people who know you instead! You are not going to change just because someone said so on Internet! Get off the line and go back to your teachers! >>
Oh, perhaps because he's read our comments about a variety of subjects and some of us seem to be relatively knowledgeable and supportive? Isn't that why we're all here and asking each other questions? Isn't that why people lurk, to read what we have to say? If this list isn't for that precise reason, then why does it exist at all? And why are you on it? I think rampant negativity is one of the reasons the first Vocalist fell apart - besides Marko's busy schedule, I think that he lost the interest in it when it became full of nasty, negative people. I'd hate to see this happen again.
I think it is a beautiful voice and I am impressed by the work he has done in a short period. I personally wasn't listening for language inadequacies, I was listening to quality. And I like it.
I will think twice before I post my own sound clips, though, and I'm pretty confident in my own abilities. I don't need that kind of negative energy.
