There's not much to say about singing like this - not even words to describe it, but I'll try. Most of these are "vanity" recordings, kind of like self-published books, and thus are a whole new definition of awfulness. But at some point, these people must have thought they could sing. Who told them that? Whoever it was should be incarcerated. At very least, there should be a stiff fine.
Ah! Emanuele Bucalo. You may ask - who is he? You will know even less about him after you hear this. But I will say, it's funny. There used to be a Hanna-Barbera duck character named Yakky Doodle, and this is who he reminds me of. Not even as tuneful as Donald Duck.
Sirach Van Bodegraven is another infamously un-famous singer who deserved his reputation. He has a way of blundering through the classics in hell-bent fashion, singing so badly that it's often hard to tell what the hell the song is supposed to be. Here he eviscerates Vesti la Giubba from Pagliacci with true operatic gusto. Or is it gutso?
Encore, encore! To thunderous applause (or is that a thunderstorm? Can't tell, my ears just went blank), Sirach treats us to his inimitable rendition of that other opera standard, Nessun Dorma. This is only marginally worse than listening to those fat adolescent boys in spandex body suits butcher it on America's Got Talent. Note to the audience: LOUD singing isn't GOOD singing.
Now, here we have "The Highest Voice". That is the title of the video, so that is what I am going to call it. It is the highest voice, I suppose, if screeching at the top of your lungs and "sort of" hitting the note counts. I had to read the YouTube description to find out who this was. It's Susie Summers! Sounds like someone from a Gidget movie, or maybe one of those dolls with hair you can pull out of its head so it reaches the floor. Anyway, Susie Summers is singing The Doll Song (appropriate!) by Offenbach, whom I don't believe for a minute wrote it the way she is singing it.
Adele's Laughing Song! But we're not laughing.
Thomas Burns may just be the Michelangelo of bad singing. The piano introduction seems to be preparing us for singing that is romantic and tinged with melancholy, and instead we get a constipated Elmer Fudd. I have heard that Burns was a close friend of that other scion of bad singing, Florence Foster Jenkins (badly portrayed by Meryl Streep, whose performing is now so weighed down by mannerisms that she looks like a candidate for Dr. Nowzardan). Maybe not, though - I think he was just added on to a CD of Jenkins' recordings to pad it out a bit. Florence only recorded a dozen or so arias, or perhaps the others just exploded into bits. When Burns sings, "O, Margarita", though. . . do I even need to finish that sentiment?
I shouldn't include this one, and I feel a little ashamed of myself, but here it is anyway because it is just so horrendous. It's not just bad singing - it's drunk singing, from a soprano who should know better. What's both touching
and cringeworthy about it is how the tenor just keeps on valiantly singing, not trying to carry her but just keep his head barely above water. What else can he do - escort her off the stage? Really, someone should have, if only for her own sake. I had to look up her name - she's a well-known singer, when sober, with the incredible handle of Dragana Jugovic del Monaco. Yikes!
Natalie de Andrade. I can't find out anything about her. Obviously she must have performed somewhere, or her puss wouldn't be plastered on this programmy-looking thing. But she is awful. Simply awful. This sounds like a rehearsal, but of what, I can't say.
BLOGGER'S NOTE. I love comments sections, so long as they stay away from the racism-sexism-everythingism that blights too many of them. I most dearly love comments by total idiots, and herein they abound. This is a tiny, tiny sample of comments from ONE YouTube video, the kind that attracts literally millions of views. I merely skimmed them off the top. There were five thousand comments, not including the thousands of replies, so you're lucky you only have to wade through these. Names are omitted to redeem the ridiculous.

The content of this documentary has massive implications for our entire planet. Deemed too controversial for TV, it is unlike many of the UFO “documentaries” found on network television nowadays, which contain far more speculation than fact, this film rigorously examines the officially-still-hidden history of UFO activity at nuclear weapons laboratories, test areas, storage depots and missile sites—using authenticated files and the testimony of vetted military eyewitnesses.
Aliens possessing tremendously advanced technology have monitored and even tampered with American and Russian nuclear weapons for decades. These stunning, nearly unbelievable developments must not be kept secret by a handful of government and military officials. We all have a right to know the facts. Hundreds of U.S. military veterans now openly discuss these ominous incidents and thousands of declassified government documents affirm their assertions.

You
wouldn't get much narration out of Marvin or Eisley as they're both dead. :-)
Maybe
they are the aliens...
I
agree. Any narration from those guys would be a little dull lmfao!
Lee
Marvin isn't really dead. Him and John Wayne own a truck stop near monument
valley. Jimmy Hendricks runs the mechanic shop and Janice Joplin runs the
restaurant with Arlo Guthrie. John Kennedy and his brother own a tax free smoke
shop across the highway.
who
do you work for buck owens?
You
must be from Tweed, Ontario. Elvis and Tupac have
adjoining trailers up off Hwy 7.
Great
clickbaity title - worked, too
The
ET's are sending us a warning to get rid of nuclear weapons. If we launch all
these missiles in a nuclear war it won't just destroy us but it will send
ripple effects thru other dimensions affecting them also. If the ET's see us
going for all out nuclear war they will destroy the human race in an non
violent way such as an epidemic of some kind. The human race is still at the
savage mentality, we need to mature now!
YouTube,
able to flag and delete videos using a few seconds of a copyrighted music, in
amongst millions of videos uploaded, in just a matter of hours... American
government / elites, unable to stop the posting of videos, or take down the
videos apparently holding the worlds most important secrets they don’t want the
general public to know.... even though the video even says so in the title.
Hmmmmmm either the American government / elites are absolutely useless and
don’t know how to use the internet... or... I suspect something suspicious, and
maybe less than correct about these titles...
A
lot of info and videos had to be released over the years through foia
The
information was declassified already; by the government - meaning that we clda
accessed it elsewhere anyway. So whats the point of the government stopping a
youtube video?
OR....
We are being primed for something big, maybe they want us to know.
some
people will perceive these incidents as provocative being primed for a false
flag event?
Why
would they delete his video? It's all just a load of nonsense.
Maybe
when we made nukes and started advancing it sent a red alarm to the
"aliens" we could be very close to harnessing power that we arent
ready to control which can lead to the end of the universe, nukes can make
blackholes which is like a red flag to "aliens".
Time
travelers from the future trying to stop the madness.
We
wish!!! But they were not successful will maybe on nukes
lol
they can't be very elite if they can't stop a youtube video
On
March 2, 1967 I was 14 yrs old. We
lived 8 miles SW of Hickman KY. I was outside on the farm and looked west.
First I saw 3 ufos in a V formation. I looked around and looked back at the 3
and there were 6 in 2 V formations. They appeared to follow the course of the Mississippi River. My dad came out on the
front porch facing North. He said they are probably planes with landing lights
on. I said but there is no sound. From my right SE direction came a lone
airplane and it looked like it was on a direct path to the 6 ufos. I kept
watching the plane to see what they would do to it. In the corner of my eye to
the left I could see the 6 ufos. When I looked direct at the ufos there were
only 4. Off to the NE were 2 ufos about 5miles or more toward Hickman.
I kept
watching the plane. Then I looked to the ufos. There were only 2. I looked NE and
there were 4. THEN I realized somehow they were "jumping" that space.
I kept close look at the last 2 ufos. As the plane approached them they begin
to glitter and appeared glittering in the shape of a top. Large at top and
pointed at bottom. Suddenly they disappeared completely. I immediately looked
NE to the 4 ufos. There in perfect same formation the last 2 begin to glitter
and then instantly became the same hugh bright light. They were still in
complete formation but had ""instantly" jumped or skipped that
space. I looked at my watch. It was 8pm. About 8:10 pm the
sound of 2 jet fighters came from Blythsville AFBase in Arkansas. Those 2 came low over
our house headed in the same direction the 6 ufos had flown off to. Those 2
jets were F4 Phantom fighters. Evidently those at the AF Base on their radar
saw the same things I did. 6 UFOs popping in and them jumping that space.
Something no earthly aircraft could do.
Who
Else Is Listening While Looking At The Comment Section...
why
not title this 'the documentary of snippets of old documentaries' that we have
all seen 114 times in 113 versions reuploaded as 'new documentary' by yet
another youtuber looking for adsense monetization fees
"The
American people don't believe anything until they see it on television."
Richard M Nixon, U.S. president Some People
aren't Just 'Asleep'. They are in a COMA.?
What
I find ironic is that the people who believe in a being that can't be seen or proven
are the first to denigrate those who claim to have seen a UFO...
we
Elite are angry about this video..very angry. just wait...
I
do hope ET is here to render all missiles useless!
I
seen a ufo in south philly i still cant get it off my mind i think about it all
day . its crazy to try to get people to believe in you .but i know what I saw
!
A
ufo is just that unidentified jumping that to aliens is an interpretation that
has no basis in reality. A lack of information is not a fact
And
your point?
You
actually have no clue what you saw, as it was by your own statement A UFO. lol
Man
I know what I saw it was close seen the whole thing.
I
can draw u a picture of it
I’m
not saying it was aliens it could be government.
could
you draw it and maybe upload a video showing it. I'm genuinely interested in
seeing it. If it's not a bother i would appreciate it. Thanks.
Do
u have a way I can contact you?
Do
u have Facebook
It
would be arrogant in the extreme to think that this human race of ours which is
unenlightened & often barbaric, peppered with flashes of genius &
compassion is the only life force amongst billions of unexplored stars.
In
the late 90's, I was at McChord AFB riding in a bus parallel to the
runway/tarmac and hangers. Looking out the window, I noticed a very shiny,
metallic disc shaped craft hovering over the runway. I remember it really
standing out against the dark rain clouds behind it and the sun reflecting off
of it (which really highlighted the disc shape from the shading). It was kind
of comical looking considering the interpretation of alien space craft from the
movie Independence Day just a few years back; it looked like a big shiny
Frisbee with a smaller Frisbee on top. It looked identical to an old B-movie
flying saucer. As we passed by the hangers quickly, it departed in a blink
before I could point it out to anyone. I kept my mouth shut about it and I
still don't mention it to people I know. At least with the anonymity of the
internet, I can tell people.
that
sound crazy
Cerebral
that was me
"Looking
out the window" indicates nothing more than a light aberration. Solved.
Wrong.
As we drove past the flight line hangers, the object (which was as clear as a
plane viewed from a window) would go behind the building.
who
else is listening to the documentary while in the comment section
lol I do all the time I also screen record
lol I screen record too!
Totally
guilty also......
Lol
how
to screen record?
read
my mind
Guilty!
I'm
wondering where are the videos of the UFO's the base took while this was
happening? That is definitely
food for thought. Makes one wonder why Kim Jong Un has suddenly decided to play
ball with President Trump regarding nuclear weapons. Perhaps he has been given
access to hitherto secret information. Personally I fully believe that we are
being monitored by extra terrestrials and all will be revealed in the coming
decades.
The
maneuverability is what gets me. Reminds me of moving the mouse pointer across
the computer screen. It moves left, right, up, down, as quickly as I move the
mouse. The pointer instantaneously stops when I stop moving the mouse. It goes
wherever I want it to go. If my video game depicts a missile in flight, I have
no problem moving the mouse pointer next to the moving missile so I can shoot
it down. To the "characters" in a video game, I wonder how the
pointer would manifest. Would they see it as the little arrow icon that I see?
Or would it be round, oval, football, an eye, .... Would it be bright, or would
it be dim? Perhaps it would cascade light around it. I'm sure they would be
astonished at its fast speeds and immediate changes of direction. After all,
the programmers of video games create physics based on rules, and only the player
can do things beyond those physics.
Anybody
else sitting on the toilet while watching this?
NO,,!
I MEAN, why?
i
bet you just released your own UFO.....Unidentified Floating Object
I
am, right behind you, observing uranus. (Don't ask why)
A little grainy because I had to reduce the size of the frames, but this is what I came up with: a long gif from a short-ish YouTube video on "pizza novelties". I had not heard of this one, and I suspect it's a lot more work than it looks and that those little bites might leak a lot more than they appear to. Not to mention burn your mouth. But it's fun to watch.
This is the first time I've made a gif of the 1965 Twilight Zone opening that I was truly satisfied with. No sound, of course, because it's a gif, but I think you know the drill!
“You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of
sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and
substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the
Twilight Zone.”

I was happily surprised to see Dick Cavett, whom an alarming number of people seem to think is dead, on Seth Meyers. He must be in his 80s by now, and looks wonderful, with those movie star cheekbones and the canny, knowing eyes. Refreshingly, he does not seem to have messed with his face to look younger, which never works anyway. His deep flat resonant Nebraska voice, so full of irony and skepticism, is just the same. I always loved his show as a teenager, and some stick out in my mind: one with Crosby, Stills and Nash, along with Joni Mitchell, and Mitchell did a song called "For Free" (about a man on the corner with a clarinet, who was "playing real good for free"). I remember David Crosby looked like a dimpled angel, and somebody (Grace Slick? It couldn't be, that was another show) said, "You look like a Leo."
j
And here it is, for the love of God, the episode I was just talking about - it WAS on YouTube after all, and it looks like I was right about everything, even Grace Slick. What an incredible guest lineup for one show. I watched it after school while I was still living in Chatham. I was fifteen.
I didn't see the show where the guy died, because NOBODY did - it was on tape and never aired. But I did see an alarming show he did on PBS in the early '80s, in which several people came on and talked about the pure pleasure and utter lack of danger of snorting cocaine. There was a user with pinwheel eyes who insisted her life was better in every way (and how would SHE know, after all?), and a doctor who swore it was all to the good and did no bodily or psychological harm whatsoever. Coke was king back then, but Cavett sat there barely hiding his consternation, trying not to tell them all they were full of crap, as he famously did sometimes in the old days. I also remember - there used to be a video of this, but I can't find it now - the cast of Husbands, Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara and John Cassavetes, all down on the floor wrestling with each other, while Cavett literally walked off his own show Or was it Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal? Anyway, these Late Night snippets seem to be recent, and I hope so, because I think it's good he's in the world. I love his moonwalk, too - he's still full of surprises and the unlikely. And how I love the unlikely! Such as actually finding the clip (below). The good part starts around 7:30.
And here are a couple of gifs I made, at great expense and time!
Though I've posted well over a thousand of my videos on YouTube, they haven't figured large on this blog, for reasons I'm not sure of. Maybe I don't want to duplicate myself? But then again - why not? I post lots of other people's. This is one of my rare "message videos", in which I actually appear. On YouTube I am called ferociousgumby, and on this blog (more or less) The Glass Character, which was really Harold Lloyd's character's name. So who knows who I really am. But I want to post this, just because I've found it creepy of late to have "sticky" people adhering to me on the internet, or trying to, even jumping media from Facebook to YouTube expressly to stick to me some more. One woman, a complete stranger, after messaging me for two weeks on Facebook, proclaimed her undying love for me and asked me to move to Los Angeles to live with her. This same woman attempted to scale a fence around Harold Lloyd's grave, and wore a nickel he once owned around her neck and never took it off, not even in the shower. The other was a dubious high school friend who WOULD NOT be rejected by me, for reasons I still haven't figured out. Looking back, I never liked her much to begin with, and was out-and-out abused by her in one particularly harrowing memory.
Why does this happen? I know I am hardly unique. It's this boundary-less quality, this sense that everyone belongs to everyone else, in the same world, and we don't. Not even close. I'm glad the past is the past, because it belongs there. It's the past because IT HAS PASSED, and trying to somehow recreate it out of silly putty and string just won't work. Plus it gets in the way of the strange bliss that is Today, and I mean that in the most ordinary, even semi-boring sense. I wrap the day around me, and all I want is some peace, peace from my own screaming inner voices, and how can I have THAT if these weird people keep on chasing me?
Setting up a YouTube channel specifically to leave cloying messages on someone else's videos is beyond creepy. But these people never see themselves. They are too busy being Nice. I have no time for Nice. Kind is a different matter, because it seems more volitional. Or is it just an innate quality, after all? I have been happily obsessed with Christopher Walken, realizing he is me, and one interviewer described him as having "unexpectedly kind eyes". I think, myself, that he radiates kindness, and warmth, and that "steepling" thing that he does with his hands on TV interviews is just a way to protect his heart. Those earth hands are beautiful and solid and deeply connected to earth in a personal way. He has often said "I don't do anything" and "I don't have any hobbies". He has been married for longer than me, even, and seems to like it and want it to last. Good for him. So what does any of this have to do with any of this? Nothing at all. Just - keep creeps away, don't be "nice", but be unexpectedly kind if you can manage it.
Monday, and not much to say. Just went on Facebook and was told I was not to eat Oreo cookies any more because of unfair labour practices in their parent company. This is literal, not a joke. Soon I will have nothing left to eat at all, which might be good for my figure! Pray for me, please. It's still sunny out, even if the mail probably won't be delivered until 2019. Gender-identity classes have been cancelled in Ontario. Conservatism sweeps the world, and why? These things are beyond me, so I can't do much news any more, as I'd prefer to feel at least OK, not constantly dismayed. Meantime I find things like this, which leads me to believe times WERE better "back then", in spite of vehement denial. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
