Nessun Dorma

[theoriginalblurker]

I've been watching/listening to various people performing Nessun Dorma over lunch.  There are some fabulous singers out there but, so far, I still like Luciano the best.  Andrea Bocelli comes a close second.  I think I'll look for more of him...


Pavarotti
and again
Bocelli
Mario Del Monaco
Frank Tenaglia
Placido Domingo
Paul Potts (Britain's Got Talent)  I'm not as enamored of this guy as many people appear to be.  I feel as though he isn't as in control of his voice as are the professionals.  But, wow, for a carphone salesman!  (and Simon's response is priceless)
Manowar!

I found a couple of women singing it (including Aretha!), but it really loses something when it's not in the male timbre.

Oh, he won the competition? How cool!

I like the metallic edge on Pavarotti's voice. It's the thing that gives me chills about a good tenor aria. :)

And that's precisely the quality in typical operatic singing that makes me not a big opera fan. To each her own, you know. :)
