This reflects my sentiments as well. I guess I'm still surprised that Ms.
Fleming is considered to be so "great" by so many. I can only take her in
small doses, recorded or live. I thought for some time that I must be
mistaken in my judgement or have reached a hasty conclusion based on a
couple of lack-luster performances, so I actively sought out more of her
work. The more I hear and see, the less fond I become of her. I've
stopped seeking and have decided that I simply don't care for her as a
performer.
