She does; but he asks some dumb questions of a person whose first language is not English. Like 'How are you?' Philosophers can answer such questions, but we all do it everyday as part of a meaningless convention. She is not open to such nuances and therefore appears taken aback, don't you think?

well when you're trying to communicate through an ear piece that doesn't seem to be working very well, as well as speaking a second language, it's hard to answer things accurately. they're usually on the same basic subject

Netrebko is a ... ( 8 months ago by Lunaryana)
Netrebko is a Ukrainian last name (it is a common knowledge), so, yes she is not exactly Russian-Russian, and she looks very Ukrainian too.
As far as the interview goes, I agree, it is very difficult to hear two Russian people speaking English to each other; and yes, their English is not perfect, but you should take into account that she sings in couple of languages and the "opera language" is Italian, not English, besides she lives in Austria....so, again, Germanic (not English!).
What I am saying is ... ( 8 months ago by Lunaryana)
What I am saying is, she probably does not have any former education in English and, therefore, should be excusable for not speaking perfect English.
For those, obviously unintelligent people with "she is stupid / idiot remarks", let me ask you this question: how many languages do you speak yourself? Let me guess.....one? That would be English? Can you also sing opera in Italian, German, Russian, etc? Let me rephrase, can you sing at all????
Are not you a ... ( 8 months ago by Lunaryana)
Are not you a little sad for your obviously useless and obtuse existence? So what is your excuse for being even alive in such sad state of mind? Think about your own value and knowledge before you make any "idiot" remarks ever again—it is a mere reflection on your insufficient self.
And Yes, the anchor ... ( 8 months ago by Lunaryana)
And Yes, the anchor, SHOULD have better English, because that is definitely a part of his job and he is obviously getting paid for asking question in English. It would be desirable for that TV station to improve quality of their "onscreen" employees, especially when they broadcast this channel allover the world.

I love Anna's quote:
"Opera is not popular music, it's a very serious art and to understand and to love this art, you need to learn little bit about this."
You should watch ... ( 8 months ago by mcpheeever)
You should watch the entire video before calling Anna stupid. She IS NOT stupid. she might answer the question a bit delayed because they communicate through earpiece. It's difficult to communicate that way. Anna is also being interviewed by an American guy and English is not Anna's first language. But she truly did answer the questions correctly. SHE IS NOT STUPID!

oh my God.
How can you people diss that.
She's wonderful.
I'm from Newfoundland - and if there's anyone who should be critiqued for English, it should be us.
I think she speaks fairly good English.
All I'm saying is, don't call her stupid.
Talk to her in her own language, she's probably a genius.
she is just amazing ( 7 months ago by ciuchy)

Thanks for this - fascinating. I applaud both for speaking to each other so well in English - an unnatural thing for them to do. Anna is an important contributor for keeping opera alive. She puts "bums on seats". She thrilled so many of us with her performance at the "Proms". She is intelligent, ambitious and hard-working. She deserves all she gets.
Array ( 6 months ago by Yunginspirit)
Lunary:
Exactly. It's very difficult for a person to express themselves completely, in another language besides their mother tongue. She's doing the best she can. She knows the answer in her head (I think) but formulating it into words of another language requires effort. I know...I'm trying to learn Spanish. The interviewer should be aware of this and not get into indepth questions and answers (o;

Anna is such a jewel! It is inspiring to see her be so successful. I am so thankful that beautiful music hasn't yet died.

It is definitely ridiculous when two russians talk to each other in foreign language(I am telling just because I am russian too...). But, well... it was done for you snobs, to know a bit about something new(or things you've never heard). Talking about Anna's IQ level, I don't really think she should be equal to Einstein or Spinoza, why should she? Enough she is great combo of pretty face, talented actress and strong singer. BTW: her last name in Ukrainian means "unneeded"... Isn't it funny?
Yes, but it would ... ( 4 months ago by GliOminiVerdi)
Yes, but it would be nice if she was at a Human IQ... You can't deny she' s a bit silly...

She is a wonderful person. Talent and honesty.
