. I would bet money that it wouldn't even occur to you to refer to her (or anyone else for that matter) in that manner no matter how she looked, because like many of us, it just never enters your thinking to be that small minded, petty or nasty about other human beings.
Michelle, it's cowardly to verbally cut people down for their physical attributes. That's what it boils down to. And lazy ignorant people always take the low road. I would never refer anyone the way people have been here...because I don't think nasty things about people generally until they open their mouths and prove to me just how hateful they are. The cowardly and stupid think it gives them more power when the can verbally attack and gang up on someone else...and they always go for their victims most tender spot....as in how fat you are, or how you wear glasses or you have a twitch or a limp or what not. Just like a school bully would. If you reread the comments that were made and insert other words, like black, or gay you can really get a feel for how ugly this is. Because the intention wasn't to comment on singing...if it were there would have been no discussion about the physical...and it's not even a matter of stage appearance...it's really about someone who "ain't got" wanting something someone else has, and being mad that they don't have it. If Mr Rossi wants to appear center stage and sing completely naked while we critique every aspect of his body with a laser pointer I would bet that at least a few of us would try and help him get a career together...if we found him totally aesthetically pleasing that is...because that's what he is really telling us.
And yes I agree...lets talk about singing for goodness sake. I have been doing some wonderful breathing exercises lately....it's amazing what a new voice teacher can tell you...I have never really had specific breath instruction before....and it's really great. I have been breathing in on 5 beats and breathing out on 10 beats...breathing in on 7 beats breathing out of 12 beats etc....and trying to make my intake intervals shorter and shorter and my exhale intervals longer and longer and very even. WOW what a difference it makes. Afterall if you can't breath you can't really sing either....and imagining the castrati who could go without breathing for over a minute and sing 250 notes on one breath WOW
