That Opera is his joy does not detract from what he did and does - to display this a “raw” talent is BS.
Then you can never have an operatic voice on this talent competition. Training of that type of voice takes years. If someone, undiscovered, came onto the show and played a Beethoven Sonata would you complain because he had piano lessons?
Well, ideally our surprise pianist would have either played by ear or taught himself from books with no tutor and with nothing but mass market recordings to compare his performance to. Makes a better rags to riches (so to speak) story.
NO - they need the exposure - there is great talent alive and well on this planet - the internet and shows like this bring it to us.
Hyping it is BS.
spot on
There's an apocryphal story of a fellow whose self discovered talent was in imitating the voice of various radio personalities, who on one surprising occasion let loose with a gorgeous operatic aria. When his friends expressed stunned amazement, he said "I was only imitating Pavarotti."
