Indeed!
The only thing that saddens me, Yanni, is that our compatriots have this incurable tendency to argue about their tastes. No sooner does one person write, "Oh, she sounds great!", the next poster (on YouTube) rushes to write, "Well... she doesn't sound that good", whereupon the first poster returns to call the second one an idiot and an ignoramus, then the second one returns, etc., etc., etc.
Περί ορέξεως ουδείς λόγος. I am not sure whether we owe the Latin version of the same saying (de gustibus non disputandum) to Cicero or Virgil, but I SO wish our compatriots would take it to heart. No one is asking anyone to pass judgement. Just enjoy-- if you can. *sigh*
Cheers,
