I think for what she does...she is. If it was 1950's and before she would be a "pop" star in the way you mean. The people who control media and entertainment have made a consistent effort to degrade what society thinks is a star...to the point of having rapist...satanic adrenochrome drinking gangsters assume these roles in society.
Kelly O’Hara can do absolutely everything. What a talent. An American icon and treasure. And she makes it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this. Bravo and kudos. What a privilege.
Kelli is amazing. She can sing full operatic soprano, musical theatre soprano and even country - all brilliantly. That's a very very rare talent. Oh, and she is beautiful too!
Yes, she is wonderfully talented to start with, but as an amateur lucky enough to sing in an elite choir, I can tell you that she did a lotta, Lotta, LOTTA work to master those different genres. It boggles my mind.
Heard her do a concert in London and she sang operatic arias (Madama Butterfly, The Magic Flute, La Traviata, and Rigoletto) and she displayed a great voice and amazing virtuosity ------- and she can encompass a high E flat ABOVE the stave. She then sang Country and Broadway stuff. She's already sung opera in New York and Chicago, and does pop concerts as well. Truly, a triple threat performer. And she can sing in French, German AND Italian!
all opera singers sing in italian, french, german, english, spanish and LATIN, and now we are more and more askd to sing in Russian, Brazilian PORTUGUESE and Czech.
@@theoperatripleaxel5417 Perhaps that's the case today. But -- two or three generations ago, Tebaldi, Pavarotti, any many other Italian singers couldn't sing in any language other than their own. Few were the Italian singers who DARED to venture into operas that required them to sing in French or German. Many German singers sang Italian operas in German, and many German operas were sung in Italian as well. Today, singers are far better trained in different languages. But this was not always the case.
She hopped all over the highest notes with a strong diaphragm, and I’m certain this was he finale to other numbers. She does what all of us do - stretch but end the concert with a voice that isn’t overextended. We’ve all had the experience where we didn’t manage our voice well, and at the end didn’t hit that high note right. She’s a pro, and knows her stuff. Do you honestly believe that a crowd could distinguish her very strong, beautiful” “A” from the other Cs and higher she had hit earlier? I thought it was a smart move.
Kelli delivers the epitome of a tour de force performance with this hilarious aria/song❗️Her vocal range and comic timing are incredible ❗️ Kelli is indeed a force of nature❗️
The audience is so amazing in this performance! And her reactions to their reactions are so subtle and wonderful. Her comedic timing, her voice... really really amazing.
This is an ABSOLUTELY wonderful performance of a true vocal talent. As cute and clever as the lyrics are, don't ignore the vocal ability of Kelli O'Hara! So much fun to listen to. I keep returning!
Oh for sure, I'm sure Kelli is fully aware of what note she's singing. The "that's a C" is probably a callback to the line in the beginning that goes "Nashville's not the place you sing high C", but the actual note probably sounded better as an A haha.
This is just tremendous. I've listened maybe a hundred times. What a multi-talented performer and wonderful woman. I love to hear her sing and speak. When someone is down I send them this. Thank you for putting this up!
This brought me tears of joys and awe. Absolutely stunning song writing, orchestration, storytelling, acting and vocals... I don't know how the orchestra manage the time changes. BRAVO MAESTRO! BRAVI TUTTI!
Is there a word better than "fabulous"?! A remarkable performance from a talented artist with a wonderfully flexible voice. Sad to confess, I have not heard Kelli O'Hara before this (what a great name for a country and western singer) but I certainly will find out more about her. I anticipated a twist at the end, but nothing like this. One of the most entertaining performances I've ever heard. An E flat above the stave ... why not.
Love this SOOOOO much! The musicality, the pacing, the range, the wonderful performance, and being so very easy on the eyes!! The singer wasn't bad either! LOL!!! Seriously, this is absolutely WONderful, and thinking Kelli O'Hara hung the moon doesn't have a THING to do with it! However, let's face the music and dance; it doesn't matter how wonderful a singer is if the conductor is the pits. But when the singer and conductor are firing with all cylinders, magic like this happens. ExTREMEly well done Ms. O'Hara and Mr. Moritz, Jr.! Brava and Bravo!!!
Now, I was born down in Georgia But Georgia wasn't good enough for me I'd sing country songs for them But my heart sang La Bohème And it didn't help we moved to Tennessee Nashville's not the place you sing high C If you wanna sing at all You best sing country So I picked up how to do it pretty fast Be a country star or go In the sticks them hicks don't know Verdi's Rigoletto from their ass So a country star's how I came to pass But I'll sing opera one day "It's like Opry with an a" I told my agent in his fancy car And it pained him I could tell When he said, "no chance in hell They don't let you in the opera If you're a country star" "Is it the way I say oblighetto?" So I took that country singing job and shoved it And I headed to The Met at NYC I know that stage is hard to reach But Domingo likes a peach You should hear that tenor voice sing rockabilly Now I'm trying out for The Barber of Seville When a voice booms from the house "From those tassels on your blouse I can tell you've got a twang and play guitar I bet they loved you in the South But please, don't open your mouth We can't let you in the opera If you're a country star 'Cause no patron trusts an opera In the hands of a country star" Do you think I can't wail 'Cause I got long pink fingernails? I had to play more country songs Just to stay afloat Though Aida's my role I'm in a southern pigeon hole I sing like Maria Callas But no one's heard a note 'Till I charmed an old blowhard Who owns half of Juilliard Said my singing was so beautiful he cried And I felt my heartbeat hop Then I heard his heartbeat stop He said, "welcome to the opera" And then the bastard died Well, time went by, I gave up on the opera Grabbed a man, got ready for a kid Though La Scala never called My ears still get enthralled When I hear a great soprano blow her lid So head up to the opera house I did But as vibratos start to shake I feel my water break I'd never even make it down the aisle If you'd have been there you'd have seen In that second mezzanine First a head, then two feet From my ninety dollar seat As I lifted up my gown To the Dr. Toravelle It hurts like hell Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God Does that squish the baby?

Hey! Yes
Bravissima!!! Superlativa!!! she warmed up our frozen Patagonia, Argentina. Hope to see her on stage someday. My niece is a composer in New York. Cheers!!!
As an opera singer and voice teacher for many years, I always told my Class Voice students that if they wanted to hear the last great bastion of good singing technique in the U.S., they would find it in Country Music and in the voices of singers thereof. Here within this video lies the proof of that statement. Beyond extraordinary technique you'll find mastery not only of voice, but the hardest of all techniques for a singing-actor to master-that of correct and meaningful gesturing. What a wonderful performer and performance!
I like this song and I usually don't like these types of songs! How can she be so talented and I've not heard of her? You look young to be a conductor. It was an overall great performance. Thank you for sharing this song. 😊
You can hear this masterpiece on her album, Always. I recommend you listen to, download, or even buy it. Full of gems like this; especially "You're Always Here." Also worth hearing is "Another Life," the beautiful number from her Broadway show, The Bridges of Madison County that her character didn't get to sing.
What you hear here pretty well is how a great pianist actually really lifts up the singer. In other versions of this song you can actually that this interaction makes it more of a struggle for Kelli who is doing an amazing job every time.
I'm stunned! I've just watched Ms. Kelli O'Hara in The Merry Widow (MET free streaming) and I've just found this performance! Absolutely amazing! Thanks!
In a weird way this describes how I feel knowing my daughter is studying vocal performance @ ENMU so she can perform opera knowing she grew up and spent most of her life in Texas. But color me a fan of the coloratura, I'm learning so I can follow my girl.
I met her outside the London Palladium last month and we both cried. I had tweeted her to ask if she'd sign a painting I did of her and she came back to sign it, I had traveled to see her and I suffer from agoraphobia so it was a huge moment for me. She told me she sang for me that night and she cried and hugged me. It was one of the best moments of my entire life. She's the loveliest woman I've met. :')
@@LouisesPointOfView Such a beautiful and amazing story you've shared, you were so brave to leave your home and travel. And for Kelli to say she dedicated the whole performance for you is the height of human kindness. So happy for you both that you made a special connection.
How is she not the biggest star in the world?
I think for what she does...she is. If it was 1950's and before she would be a "pop" star in the way you mean. The people who control media and entertainment have made a consistent effort to degrade what society thinks is a star...to the point of having rapist...satanic adrenochrome drinking gangsters assume these roles in society.

She sings a D above said A a minute and a half earlier…. I’ll allow it.
It's a Soprano Concert C ;-)
@@billdanbury As a musician, I'm really confused. A soprano C is a "regular" A?
Kelli delivers the epitome of a tour de force performance with this hilarious aria/song❗️Her vocal range and comic timing are incredible ❗️
Kelli is indeed a force of nature❗️
Thank you for watching!
I've watched this several times and still can't get over how good it is. Amazing talent. And Seth R on piano!👍
Kelli is absolutely incredible. An honor to serve as conductor! Thanks for watching :)
My sentiments exactly!
I was staring at the screen thinking the pianist looked familiar!
She's great. Not only Broadway, but she's already sung at the Met and is again this season.
Kelli is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more videos from this show.
What the hell, the best 5 minutes watching
a female singer the past year, awesome,
the spirit & this lady,
Kelli is the real deal! Thanks for watching :)
Hillarious and absolutely brilliant! She's a fantastic singer in whichever genre she chooses!
Kelli is so amazing. Thank you for watching!
You're more than welcome! Istill enjoy it as much as the first time, each time I listen to it!
This is.. wildly impressive on many levels.
The audience is so amazing in this performance! And her reactions to their reactions are so subtle and wonderful. Her comedic timing, her voice... really really amazing.
Kelli O'Hara ❤❤❤❤ She is just great. And this, killer funny.
This is an ABSOLUTELY wonderful performance of a true vocal talent. As cute and clever as the lyrics are, don't ignore the vocal ability of Kelli O'Hara! So much fun to listen to. I keep returning!
Kelli is absolutely the real deal. Thank you for watching, Kenney!!
Right you are. The song is wonderful, but there can't be three people on the entire planet who could pull it off. Maybe not even two. Bravo!
"countryyyyy - that's a C - yyyy STAR" I love her! Thank you for uploading this!
Love this song! Love hearing Kelli perform! Thanks for watching
Knowing that it is actually an A makes it funnier somehow, the C in NYC is a C though, they must of done that intentionally don’t you think?
Oh for sure, I'm sure Kelli is fully aware of what note she's singing. The "that's a C" is probably a callback to the line in the beginning that goes "Nashville's not the place you sing high C", but the actual note probably sounded better as an A haha.
The fact that she hit a lower note than she claims is the joke. It sums up the whole story. Very funny
@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE haha fancy seeing you here on a comment i left three years ago!
I'm late to the party. F-A-A-A-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C work, from the writers, Kelli, and Michael! Wow. - Fred Barton
How much better of an entertainment industry star is she gonna get? Unique charm, looks, great musicianship with awesome vocal technique. Well done!!
I just realized that is Seth on piano....awesome!
This is just tremendous. I've listened maybe a hundred times. What a multi-talented performer and wonderful woman. I love to hear her sing and speak. When someone is down I send them this. Thank you for putting this up!
Kelli is the real deal. Thank you for watching!
I love this so much, I cry everytime 😭
I'm so happy to find this! Great song and she sings it terrifically. Not to mention the good advice in it!
Beautiful! As an opera producer I utterly and completely approve! Kelly is magnificent.
Her character switch at 1:57 kills me every time. She is such a treasure.
Thank you Michael!
I remember her singing this when I saw her in concert in San Fransisco. It was so great it see live. Highly recommended.
I concur - it's a real treat! An honor to conduct on this. Thanks for watching!!
This needs a BILLION views!!!!!
She is incredible!❤
Absolutely amazing!
This is brilliant. What a performance.
Agreed! Kelli is a breathtaking performer!!
wow! I had no idea Kelli O'Hara could sing like that. I'm am simply astonished! She's amazing!
This brought me tears of joys and awe. Absolutely stunning song writing, orchestration, storytelling, acting and vocals... I don't know how the orchestra manage the time changes. BRAVO MAESTRO! BRAVI TUTTI!
Thank you :) It was an honor to conduct the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra for this performance...aren't they wonderful? Thanks for watching!
I'm running out of fingers to count how many times I've watched this. 😌
She can pretty much do anything.
Yes she can!

@Erik Paul He was referring to the hat, not the piece.
@Erik Paul How does one write a hat?
@@alexandrapedersen829 l wrote a hat once. They never wrote back. So sad.
Thanks for watching!
How can the orchestra be so stoic.?She is absolutely Hilarious.
"concentration face" - can't smile and violin :D
So great and epic and funny! What an astounding voice Kelli O'Hara has. Charmed my socks off, how fun.
There is a lady who knows how to have fun with a song.
Talented people never cease to amaze me.
Now, I was born down in Georgia
But Georgia wasn't good enough for me
I'd sing country songs for them
But my heart sang La Bohème
And it didn't help we moved to Tennessee
Nashville's not the place you sing high C
If you wanna sing at all
You best sing country
So I picked up how to do it pretty fast
Be a country star or go
In the sticks them hicks don't know
Verdi's Rigoletto from their ass
So a country star's how I came to pass
But I'll sing opera one day
"It's like Opry with an a"
I told my agent in his fancy car
And it pained him I could tell
When he said, "no chance in hell
They don't let you in the opera
If you're a country star"
"Is it the way I say oblighetto?"
So I took that country singing job and shoved it
And I headed to The Met at NYC
I know that stage is hard to reach
But Domingo likes a peach
You should hear that tenor voice sing rockabilly
Now I'm trying out for The Barber of Seville
When a voice booms from the house
"From those tassels on your blouse
I can tell you've got a twang and play guitar
I bet they loved you in the South
But please, don't open your mouth
We can't let you in the opera
If you're a country star
'Cause no patron trusts an opera
In the hands of a country star"
Do you think I can't wail
'Cause I got long pink fingernails?
I had to play more country songs
Just to stay afloat
Though Aida's my role
I'm in a southern pigeon hole
I sing like Maria Callas
But no one's heard a note
'Till I charmed an old blowhard
Who owns half of Juilliard
Said my singing was so beautiful he cried
And I felt my heartbeat hop
Then I heard his heartbeat stop
He said, "welcome to the opera"
And then the bastard died
Well, time went by, I gave up on the opera
Grabbed a man, got ready for a kid
Though La Scala never called
My ears still get enthralled
When I hear a great soprano blow her lid
So head up to the opera house I did
But as vibratos start to shake
I feel my water break
I'd never even make it down the aisle
If you'd have been there you'd have seen
In that second mezzanine
First a head, then two feet
From my ninety dollar seat
As I lifted up my gown
To the Dr. Toravelle
It hurts like hell
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
Does that squish the baby?
How can it breathe?
Contraction! Contraction!
Contraction! Contraction!
My God, I paid so much for Dr. Chung
And now this
Ow! You son of a bitch!
No, thank you, I mean it
You [?]!
Contraction! Contraction!
Yes! I feel that!
I'm pushing
I'm pushing
Oh my God, oh my God
It's like pushing a watermelon
Through a hole the size of a lemon
Aha! Aha! Aha!
What? Well, it better be a girl!
(spoken)
I'm so sorry about your dress!
(sung)
Well, now, to my surprise
Those patrons had tears in their eyes
The New York Times review
Even raved I was all that
Found the headline bizarre
"Opera gives birth to a new star
When she was done, what fun
And a newborn in her lap"
Then the head of the trustees board
Said, "before you cut the cord
Here's an agent, a contract and some caviar
You'll start right away, my dear
We have daycare, please sign here"
Been my dream since I sang country
Now I'm an opera star
(Baby cries)
Shh, shh!
But you were the best part of the opera by far
Now a crib ain't where you're needing pearls of wisdom
But listen up before you've cried a word
When you hear no, don't get upset
It means yes, but just not yet
Fight the most when folks say you're absurd
In the end, I believe we all get heard
But if I may suggest one rule
Before I'm no longer cool
What you do ain't always who you are
So if you find your heart is set
On both Memphis and The Met
And they force you to choose
Don't run off and sing the blues
Bet your ass you can sing opera
If you're a country- that's a C
Star! Hey! Yes
I thought it was "The doctor two rows down"
In the version in the video she says "Screw em both, go sing the blues" :)
8 year contract and caviar ?
You (?) She said Fucker.
By the way, in the end when she sings “that’s a C” it’s actually a Bb. She does sing multiple high D6s.
Kari - thank you for sharing. What a delihtful way to end a very good day. Mom
