I love it

anything past the 17th century is shit
Well not all
but it tends to be performed by warbelling twats (i.e. ill divo) who cant really sing,but they make an "opera" sound
people are to afraid to call it shit because they are scared they'll look like ignorant twats.

Do you mean the 17th Century?
And as for Il Divo - I happily only know people who will look down on anyone even remotely populist. Patricia Petibon and Ian Bostridge all the way for me
