Pleurez, pleurez mes yeux
Lisa-Lee sang this, either in late 2006, or early 2007; it was the first time she sang live with a full orchestra. There is a video recording of this performance, but the person who owns that recording wanted to charge us ten times more than he originally agreed to. We've informed him, we won't be paying that much.
This aria is Lisa-Lee's favourite French aria. We hope you enjoy it.

Goodbye, Montserrat Caballe, R.I.P
One of my favourite opera singers died last week. Montserrat Caballe, your voice was perfection. The world will be a slightly darker place without you and your beautiful voice.
To me, I prefer the voice of Montserrat Caballe to Maria Callas. The difference being is that Montserrat's voice is just pure beauty, she never gave a bad performance, and she knew how to touch your heart, even your soul, with her voice.
Montserrat is one of my greatest inspirations, it was watching singers like her, that made me want to become an opera singer. She is my idol. Thank you Montserrat Caballe for leaving us with such beautiful recordings. Your voice will live on for an eternity. To me, you are one of the greatest opera voices of the 20th century. May your memory be a blessing. Rest in peace.

The inner circle - The Circle - Podcast
Lisa-Lee Dark is the contestant that never was. Due to the show originally being interested in Lisa-Lee, she was asked to take part in a podcast about the show, giving an insider's view to how the show was being pitched. Lisa-Lee feels a little disappointed in the show because it had the potential to be hugely diverse and quite edgy, but it's been a little flat. If they tweaked it a little it could become a really good show. Click on the link below to listen to the full podcast. It's around 20 minutes in length. Lisa-Lee has tipped Alex/Kate or Dan to win.........
