...outside of the noise board.
Somebody needs to find an mp3 of Forbidden Broadway's parody "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Singing" ("I'm screaming, I'm screa-ea-ea-eaming. . .")

I will sacrifice a thousand fanboys to let this be true. Or just one Harry Knowles.

So basically you don't understand or know the genesis behind operatic melisma. (Many of those runs weren't in the original scores, especially cadenzas in bel canto singing; they were embellishments the singers added later to show how awesome they were and the best ones have, over time, become codified as "the way to sing it". See also baroque ornamentation.)

this says nothing about how common it is to do so. would any major company do so in more than an aria or two in a tiny fraction of the operas it does?

I do actually know what I'm talking about sometimes, as shocking as that may seem. And the point you are continually getting hung up on is a natural result of the evolution of a musical form moreso than anything else; let's see what pop R&B is like 200 years from now and see how codified things are. Hell, people ALREADY try to mimic Mariah, Whitney, Aretha, Diana, Minnie, Jennifer Holliday, et al note-for-note and we're only looking (in some cases) a remove of less than a year!

also, at least 2 of the 6 on your list are operatically-trained, no? (I also forgive mariah her postmod melisma cuz she's so 'free-spirited')
dood even I wouldn't argue with Dan about this stuff
yeah dood, but I don't think you saw Parsifal in the womb or sang the Verdi Requiem in high school either
