Okay, this is becoming a regular thing for me, but I find, as Trump burns down Western Civilization, I need to find some sanctuary for soul replenishment. I posted about Mica Becerro and her amazing rendition of the Queen of the Night Aria from The Magic Flute. Thought the thread would end there, but this week the Voice Teens Philippines Battle Round took place between 17-year-old Mica and 15 year-old Christy Lagapa from Davao, Philippines. Now, frankly, Hunger Games between artists is a little unseemly … I mean, could you image an Artistic Battle between Van Gogh and Gauguin?
Announcer: Sorry, Vincent … you’ve be cut.
van Gogh: Wait … wait … my ear … take my ear.
Gauguin: Diva.
But this is actually a joyous scene all the way through, and really a fantastic showcase of astounding talent. Lend an ear!
Um, sorry.
