The first time I heard “In Trutina” (from Carmina Burana), I listened to a classical crossover artist sing it. Even though crossover artists aren’t always strictly classical musicians, I don’t mind the crossover genre because it motivates me to listen to the original operatic/orchestral version.

Katherine Jenkins, Sarah Brightman, Jackie Evancho, and Andrea Bocelli are not opera singers. I hate it when people compared them to true musical artists like Kiri Te Kanawa, Lucia Popp, Cecilia Bartoli, Sumi Jo, and Renee Fleming.
