I've always really disliked operatic-style singing, which is why I have spent very little time during my whole lifetime listening to opera.

The WORST is when some opera celebrity gets on TV and "appeals to the masses" by singing some popular song in full-blown grand operatic style. How obnoxious!

Back when I was a kid, this used to happen all the time on the Ed Sullivan Show; you still encounter it occasionally, but not as often.
