I would be more grateful if she brought the right kind of attention to the art form. It's all hype, and no substance. It's not about the music...it's about her. Or at least after watching Canada Am, that is what I thought.
I completely agree with Kleinod Mein. I feel badly for the fantastic singers who deserve the coverage and don't get it because Measha is sucking it all up for herself. Singers like Adrianne Pieczonka, who can sing circles around Measha, but don't get the publicity for who knows what reason. Singers like Erin Wall, Alexandra Deshorties.... true Canadian opera stars! But we never get to hear about them....
It really does get old, watching her promote herself ad nauseam when the true Canadian Opera stars cannot get a look in. Unfortunately the general public is too stupid to look past the packaging to the truth. I mean, how can she call herself an "Opera Star" when she has sung less than a handful of operas in her entire career. It's sickening.....
