Miguel de Maria -> about talent (Apr. 28 2004 17:44:38)

On the "other forum," I have had some correspondence with Dominico Caro. Although he's a gentleman, I vehemently disagree with his point of view! I wanted to post this here, too. Hola Miguel: Every body has SOME talent, call it "gift", if you will, but there are varying degrees of "more or less" of this talent, like intelligence and perception. Also, There are many variables affecting peoples lives like Ambiente [Andalucia}, Ambition, Carisma, a pretty face may be an asset to succeess. If you have some talent without the hunger to succeed, to make it big, you may still be a good musician or dancer with less success, that's all. I beg to differ with Bach and you, talent is not shared egually, that sounds like communism. Talent is not the amount of time you spend practicing, that's something else altogether. Look up the words 'aficion', 'desire' and 'talent' in the dictionary and then we will discuss The Gifted Person. There are people that can sing well and others that can't; William Hung can't sing no matter how famous he becomes, Tiny Tim had balls not talent [well, he had some degree of it]. I know that "Aficion" is a deep love for the art because I know several people that have aficion for forty years [I say aficion because they actually do flamenco, not just talk about it] but they do it badly, let alone the 'cante'. I know what flamenco sounds like and what they do is not good, yet I can't think of people that love, have aficion for flamenco more than these folks do. An aficionado can be anybody, in any language, but doing flamenco is a calling where not every body is "equally" talented. You sound offended by my comment and it was not intended that way at all.
