I didn't know sang opera until this clip,wow! I love opera! If you could put up a 50+ her singing opera it would please me so! Thank for playing so much of her music!
Looks (and sounds) like it was recorded off a tv screen ... maybe it's the only copy in circulation? ... in which case, it's priceless ... R (Australia)
It’s a poor recording off of a tv show. Too much echo, ambient sound and banging on the recording media, (on a phone? perhaps. I don’t think anyone dislikes Rhiannon.
@big tornadoes Please don't accuse her of anything. There is no reason to believe she is lying. She has said in many interviews that her mother was half African and half Native American. Her cheekbones indicate Native American ancestry (cf Buffie Sainte Marie)
No she doesnt. Light skinned beautiful biracial Black women do not all look alike. However, if you must pick a lookalike…she looks more like Alicia Keys than Lena Horne
Her husband put his career on hold for her dreams and takes care of the kids and in the end she left him for someone else. I love Rhiannon and all she's done but that's rough.
I don't know the details, and I don't imagine many people do. But while, yes, it must be rough, I'm not sure it's all that unusual - except that it's generally the woman who has prioritised her husband's career, and we're so used to that we probably wouldn't even notice it.
Really a childish statement. Nobody knows what goes on in a marriage. He is an adult and the decision for him to “ put aside” his career was a joint decision. How many women have done the same in their careers for men. As a citizen of Ireland, did he get custody of their children bc they too were citizens of Ireland? Do they have joint custody. Never believe that ending a marriage with children is easy. so to say she left him for someone else is a simplification of whatever happened. Her separation from her children must be tough. But Husbands divorce and are apart from their children and no one raises an eyebrow. I know she and her Italian husband live in Ireland… to be near her children. She is once in a lifetime talent.
@@TS-rd7oy Well there is a difference between Black and White, but I am not sure anyone would say otherwise. Will W is saying that he didn't expect her to be married to a white dude, which is not what you seem to be responding to.
This is the stupidity that Social media brings us. Nobody who is happy, comfortable, and in love leaves a marriage. To suggest a person you do not know cheated on her husband is how absurd we have gotten. We heard, we read, and we think, but we have no real way of knowing what we say has an ounce of truth in it.
@@Guns_and_Grunge Why? because she worked with him and fell in love means she had no integrity in leaving her marriage? . How do you know she did not go to her husband and say I have feelings for someone else and must leave this marriage to pursue this relationship. Your arrogance in messing in someone else’s life is specious.
More, more is all I think after hearing anything this multi talented woman of the World of Music performs. BRAVO!
"up and coming" pssh she's been killin it for years
A wonderful artist with soul and substance
Dis girl is Da Bomb!!! Singin black folk music to Gaelic !!!! White guy here loving her!!! Goddess!!!!!
The classical training really helped her with control of her voice.
met her several times in person. she is truly a gem.
A truly gifted voice and musician. Here it is the end of 2021 and I just recently came across this amazing talent.
REAL TALENT. GREAT SINGER !!!!
I hope she goes as far as she deserves to go. Great talent, great looks too.
she really is amazing. Can't wait to see her in person

Amazing versatility. There seems to be nothing musically that she cannot do.
I'm glad she is "making it" and I love her work in any capacity but I liked her work with the Carolina Chocolate Drops the most.
So did I. a great band.
I didn't know sang opera until this clip,wow! I love opera! If you could put up a 50+ her singing opera it would please me so! Thank for playing so much of her music!
Such an amazing voice
How can anyone not like this??
It’s just a poor recording
She's a star
Once in a Lifetime!
Great singer
I hope she takes the Chocolate Drops with her.
The sound quality of this clip is an insult to RG, an excellent performer!
Looks (and sounds) like it was recorded off a tv screen ... maybe it's the only copy in circulation? ... in which case, it's priceless ... R (Australia)
Is this one of those things were someone videotaped something right off of the TV screen?
Our star is indeed just that a singular talent! Her interviewers seemed way out of their depth! They would seem more at home doing garden show.
Go Oberlin
Nice biop thanks.
A shame the sound quality is lacking.
Fantastic material, however filming off of the TV is not the best choice. In these digital days, there are better options.
22 people disliked this..how ?
Might be due the sound quality... It kinda muffles her stellar voice
Sound quality
Jealousy! Envious people hate to see people do what they can only wish they could do. Both but envy.

Amazing talent. What is her tribal affiliation?
Her mother also adds some Lumbee, Occaneechi, and Seminole (Native American) ancestry.

The first time I saw her was in Ken Burns' Country Music documentary last fall. My first thought was "what a beautiful and talented Native woman".
Welsh
@big tornadoes what does real native americans look like? Plz research "from indigenous native american to African-American.
She reminds you of a young Lena Horne.
No she doesnt. Light skinned beautiful biracial Black women do not all look alike. However, if you must pick a lookalike…she looks more like Alicia Keys than Lena Horne

Nicely put.

You actually sat a camera in front of your cheap TV and recorded this? weak sound. lame.
Surprised to see that she is married to a white dude. Didn't expect that.
Why not? Her father is white, her mother is black. What difference does it make?
@@TS-rd7oy Well there is a difference between Black and White, but I am not sure anyone would say otherwise. Will W is saying that he didn't expect her to be married to a white dude, which is not what you seem to be responding to.
What's wrong with that? Her father is s white man. You're showing your ignorance. My My!
👍👍Thank you.
Keep your ignorance to yourself.
She cheated on her husband with that Italian sing. How can you break up a family like that..
Why pass on a rumor?
@@womenshow2532 it alot of people have been saying it and she worked with this guy in the past so the chances of it being just a rumor is unlikely.
So what? Truth or rumor it's her life. You outsiders need to stay out and mind you'd own lives if you have one.
