  • Anthony Sayer says:

    Many flushes have a system for N°1s and N°2s.

  • George says:

    Why would any young singer want to share the stage with this sexual harasser? Have they no pride??

  • The View from America says:

    Oh, joy.

  • Knowing Clam says:

    Maybe Dominic’s clients will win again.

  • Officer Krupke says:

    All these competitions are a complete money spinner and a piss-up for the juries, who prop up their own vested interests.

  • David A. Boxwell says:

    Nepoperapalooza!

  • another says:

    Why would anyone take part in an endeavour organized solely to enable a useless singer to grope young girls, is a mystery. Also, opera should be cancelled as a completely anachronistic genre and also because the singers sound like squealing from a collapsed mine. We still need orchestras though, to record film scores and play Carmina Burana and Christmas singalongs.
