Jerusalem always hits the spot for me (based on a poem by Blake about building a socialist utopia -which is lost on many who hear it) and really looking forward to hearing her version of Valley Floyd Road.
I had the pleasure of working on a couple of classical music magazines, one across the road from Covent Garden and never went?....... Greenie
Still, we still have that dreadful rendition of zep's Kashmir, by that girl group.......Personally speaking I would rather have squeeze down there.......
Never realised that Charlton fan's were so 'cultured'. Macca's just had his ballet premiered, bit of jiggling at half time Greenie.......perhaps he could do a rewrite of 'Mull' a'la Floyd road, set to ballet for you?
To those of you digging out Rebecca (Mrs Windscreen), maybe you ought to know that she suffers from autism (albeit at the lower end scale of the affliction)...she's a sweet natured girl trying to make the best of her unfortunate circumstances.
She's a pretty good singer and as a few on here can tell you (following a St Georges day dinner in Bromley organised by Bernie Wickham a couple of years back) she definately put's on a good show. She could walk into any West End musical...OK not as one of the lead parts I'll admit but certainly as a chorus singer.
She sings mostly standard ballads and theatrical musical material, so she's obviously not going to appeal to some folk by the very nature of her style.
I thought Victoria Stanyon was excellent. Victoria sounded great, and she pitched her vignette perfectly to suit the occasion, a real fan who did herself and the club proud. Thank you Victoria.
I posted a negative comment about Opera Sound, but it was about the genre of music. Nothing to do with the lady who sang very well.
She sang my old school song Jerusalem, and the Covered end anthem by Sir Macca and did us proud.
I think the Nessum Dorma for a world cup game is fine for that stage/occassion.
Gangsta rap grime? Swisdom....... well not me personally, but as I said each to his own,I have never liked popular music as such as I am sure my sad musical tastes have bored others on the musical threads that we have on here....... I just questioned 'Opera' as such. That aside, as I have already stated it went down very well with the crowd, but the music was hardly Opera was it, but I am sure my point, as badly made will seem ungracious by some?
It doesn't sound like anyone is digging her out; quite the opposite. It seems that people enjoyed her performance today and are supportive of her generally, so this must just be a misunderstanding somewhere along the way...

The confusion is SoundaAs£ is talking about Mrs windscreen, whereas the remaining part of the thread is about the opera singer.
I loved it!! Her voice was brilliant and choice of songs excellent.....her delivery....out of this world...made hairs on back of neck stand up..............more please of Victoria.
I know her brother from School days years ago and bumped into him at the ground, he was so proud that she was singing before the game. I'll pass on the feedback, she was amazing!

That's correct. Miss Stanyon's brother did post a thread about her upcoming appearance at the Valley.
At least opera gets the atmosphere going - thinking back to Nessun Dorma
Or would you prefer some local wideboy spitting out some gangsta rap grime - just to encourage us to start stabbing each other

Some people can be unbelievably cruel!
Ken....I was reffering to Rebecca.....a girl who used to post on this board.
I think one or two might be under the impression I'm talking about the singer today...Victoria.....that's not who I'm talking about.
Yes bigS....go back and read the whole thread...you'll see there are two different singers being discussed.
There are some links on this site:

Agree with comments above. She was very good, 'Valley Floyd Road' was outstanding.
There are a couple of videos on youtube for anyone that wants to watch/listen again.
