I love Nessun Dorma ! In fact it’s my favorite shower song.

( I mean I can’t hit some of the high notes — but a croak is better than no notes at all )

Thanks for the ping. He is just awesome. I listen to and love Pavarotti as well as Mario Lanzo and I was sure it was a lip-sync. He should go far—I hope so. If anyone sees any more one this fellow I hope they post it. Thanks.

Goosebumps. I’m usually not really a friend of opera, but this was just wonderful. I wasn’t expecting anything special or even remotely good upon seeing him... but then his voice blew away the audience.

If that performance doesn’t give one goosebumps they better check their pulse.
The man has a wonderful voice.

God bless him....God already has. LOL

I hope he beats ‘em all!

I loved it! I am a Puccini opera buff, but love this song and he was wonderful to walk in off the street and blow them away.

It seldom happens, but his amazing voice brought me to tears. I’m certain we shall hear more of him............I hope.

Now, I need to rub away some of these goosebumps.

My favorite part is how the audience laughed at him when he said he was going to sing opera. Then he showed ‘em!

Plus the female judge seemed genuinely moved.

Thanks Kelly.

Believe it or not, I first saw this while slumming on the dark side at DU. They also posted this and we have found something that freepers and the DU crowd can agree on: THIS GUY IS GREAT!

I thought exactly the same thing-———A touch of Pavarotti, a touch of Mario Lanza. It was just wonderful!

Where was the ORCHESTRA? I didn’t see any band or is that the way it always is?
