If Beyoncé is a violin, who would be the viola?
NewsThe American violist Jennifer Stumm, talking to the Irish Times:
‘Most people have never heard of a viola. People ask me what it is in the airport. I always say the violin is Beyoncé and the viola is Adele. One is the pop singer. The other is the soul singer.’
And the cello – any suggestions?
Alison Moyet
I frequently see it as a misspelling of voila.
It’s spelled viola
Cello is Cher
I agree with Adele as viola.
Cello? Peter Murphy.
Or Puddles the Clown (Puddles Pity Party).
Or Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode for cello.
Violas tuning? Nah, that’s a lawnmower going over 6 beer cans…
Anyone with more intelligence – a very wide choice
I came here wondering if there’d be a pointlessly aggressive comment and here it is! Sorry you’re mad at a talented and successful Black woman.
as a violist, nobody knows what i play they smile and nod and then ask if it’s a violin. but i love that, adele is perfect as the viola :)))
