What I like
All singers that have brought a fundamental contribution to the history of singing and vocality, thanks to their conscious (or unconscious) knowledge of vocal technique.

I truly adore: Montserrat Caballé, Maria Callas, Edita Gruberova, Kirsten Flagstad, Birgit Nilsson, Lily Pons, Rosa Ponselle, Lucia Popp, Leontyne Price, Rosa Raisa, Graziella Sciutti, Luciana Serra, Joan Sutherland, Renata Tebaldi, Luisa Tetrazzini, Teresa Berganza, Grace Bumbry, Fiorenza Cossotto, Marylin Horne, Christa Ludwig, Ebe Stignani, Shirley Verrett, Marian Anderson, Clara Butt, Sigrid Onégin, Giuseppe Anselmi, Jaume Aragall, Ugo Benelli, Carlo Bergonzi, Rockwell Blake, Jussi Bjorling, Franco Corelli, Fernando De Lucia, Bernardo De Muro, Mario Filippeschi, Miguel Fleta, Beniamino Gigli, Alfredo Kraus, Giacomo Lauri Volpi, Angelo Lo Forese, Chris Merritt, Pier Miranda Ferraro, Giovanni Martinelli, William Matteuzzi, Francesco Merli, Luciano Pavarotti, Aureliano Pertile, Giacinto Prandelli, Gianni Raimondi, Tito Schipa, Leonid Vital'evič Sobinov, Frederica von Stade, Ferruccio Tagliavini, Fritz Wunderlich, Giovanni Zenatello, Pasquale Amato, Ettore Bastianini, Mattia Battistini, Piero Cappuccilli, Antonio Cotogni, Cornell MacNeil, Carlo Galeffi, Antonio Magini-Coletti, Robert Merrill, Thomas Quasthoff, Herbert Alsen, Feodor Chaliapin, Édouard de Reszke, Boris Gmyrya, Alexander Kipnis, Giulio Neri, Tancredi Pasero, Ezio Pinza, Pol Plançon, Cesare Siepi, Mihály Székely.

What I hate
Those singers who, incapable of singing properly and professionally, are pushed by the media thanks to their appeal and not for their musical or vocal merits, basing their career on the CDs and DVDs and not on the stage performances. This is a real nowadays plague! Among many I really LOATHE Giuseppe di Stefano, Placido Domingo and Cecilia Bartoli. Besides I truly much hate José Cura, Vivica Genaux, Vittorio Grigolo, René Jacobs, Philippe Jaroussky, Simone Kermes, Nino Machaidze, Anna Netrebko, Andreas Scholl, Erwin Schrott, Nino Surguladze, Rolando Villazon.
