Plan 9 from Otter Space

Some songs just steadfastly repel the crossover treatment. Some years ago Karita Mattila came to grief on “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” and now Anne Sofie von Otter doesn’t do much better. (Why does it always sound like they coached this number with The Opera Milf?)

(The entire concert, which includes some quite creditable singing and ring-a-ding-dinging from Peter Mattei, may be found here.)

    @88 Graciella Scusi: yes she was, Ingrid Caven’s real name is Ingrid Schmidt. Trudeliese died after a long and cruel illness in 2004.
