There are some miserable s*ds on here. It's good for the pre-match atmosphere whether or not you like opera and I'm pretty sure Valley Floyd Road has never been sung at the Royal Opera house or on the Last Night of The Proms. Not an opera fan myself but I'm more than happy to hear a Charlton fan belting it out before kick-off!
But do we have to have it EVERY time we do a special discount day/trophy presentation? I just think after 12 years of it, maybe by now someone in the promotions dept might have had a new idea
Is it really that many? I am looking forward to it personally. EV maybe you could throw a few ideas in?
I like it because it's different and an experience I'd be unlikely to encounter otherwise as I'm not likely to go to "proper" opera for all sorts of reasons.
As a classical music fan, have to say she has a good voice,listened to her on her own web site. Unfortunately the grounds system does not do her justice, but still enjoy her version of vallley floyd road.

They may have had some new ideas, but they were sacked :-)
For a soprano she's got a very broad bottom end which adds plenty to her performance. I like a few vocal gymnastics before a game from time to time - no harm in some variety, it's the spice of life after all. If you don't like operatic singing at all then vote with your feet I'm sure Victoria won't be upset at all, there's no call for slagging her off, especially from behind a pseudonym and when you know nothing about what she does.
I sort of agree with Splodge, she's a bit 'screechy' but I think that's more down to the grounds speakers/soundsystem than her voice. Not bothered about her being on the pitch again though, I'll just cover my ears as before!
Perhaps the sound quality depends on where you sit in the stadium. From the back of Lower West,Victoria sounds superb, and this news has me looking forward to Saturday afternoon for musical and football reasons. Opera is not 'my' kind of music (as a vintage soul and blues fan), but her voice and performance of VFR are magnificent!

I like her bottom end.
I'd like to see her do more than vocal gymnastics.
I thinks she gives a great injection of passion and atmosphere - many clubs have people singing, but seldom one of their own, so to speak. In my opinion that makes it even better.

etc etc.
I'm not at all interested in her London derriere.
That's OUR little secret .....
NOT Victoria's ....
