PROGRAMMEDescribe a TV programme or channel that you enjoy watching
regularly.What it is called and what is it about?When do you
usually watch it?Why do you prefer it to other programmes or
channels?I rarely watch traditional television channels nowadays; I
much prefer searching for interesting programmes or videos online.
So, although its not a normal TV channel or programme, Id like to
talk about a website which I think is kind of a modern version of a
TV channel. Its called TED, which stands for Technology,
Entertainment, Design, and its a great place to watch short talks
and presentations about all sorts of interesting topics.The good
thing about the videos on TED is that I can watch them whenever I
want. I haveted.comsaved as one of my favourites on my laptop, and
I tend to visit the website every few days to check whether there
is anything new. I often watch TED videos on my phone while Im
travelling to work on the train.The reason I like watching online
videos on TED is that I learn something new every time I watch one.
The tagline for the TED website is ideas worth spreading, and this
really sums up the appeal of the site for me. Instead of watching
meaningless soap operas and talk shows on TV, Id much rather spend
10 minutes watching someone talk about a breakthrough in
technology, science or healthcare.(st)
One thing I have learned, is to not compare singers. Every
singer has a different personality, temperment and approach to a
piece of music. I appreciate each one for what they can do and
bring to the performance. Ms Price is an exceptional talent. Her
instrument has been and remains to be one of this nations finest on
evey level of vocal excellence.Beautiful singing as usual for this
eternal diva. Callas Butterfly is still better at interpretation
and technical skills though. Price always had this lazy swoop up to
her high notes. Nonetheless amazing!To have this level of technical
ability at her age is beyond impressive. This is an old pro doing
with ease what every ingenue wishes they could aspire to.
Having said that, I prefer Ying Huang's version, if only for the
first 30 seconds. Ms. Price, while exceptional, sounds more about
the performance and less about the spirit of the lyrics. Ms. Huang
sells it just a tiny bit better.
Still, phenomenal talent on the part of Ms. Price.
