But yea, he's rather surprising!

 

he looks retarded or something...

 

His singing is incredible. I could listen to him sing over and over. He is going to be a great opera singer.

 

wow.... he truly is an amazing singer. and hes actually a singer unlike many of todays other "singers" where their voices are tweaked into perfection this guy can actually sing with his own voice.

 

You must be retarted for posting something like that.

 

beautiful.

 

He has a gift. Great opera singer.
BT

 

I thought he was pretty good, but every serious opera fanatic i've shown this to says he is a good "amateur" singer, but isn't even close to being on par with people who sing at, for example, The Met.

 

I feel bad for whoever had to get up on stage after him...

 

Perfect thread title! I watched it several times before and again now. Her reaction says it all. Hearing that aria is always a powerful thing and I can only imagine what it would be like to be the one standing on a stage, nailing that note at the end while the audience holds its' collective breath. WOW!

It's no wonder Pavarotti as such an arrogant ass!

 

Thats what I was thinking.

Ave Maria gives me chills everytime. I dont know if you guys have seen it, but there is a trailer for a new movies called Hitman and it the trailer is to the tune of Ave Maria. if you know anything about Hitman it will send chills up your spine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46V-6rZt_tk

 

He blew the crowd away....i hate how the simon and the judges were expecting to fail at the begining.

Goosepimples....Goosebumps, haha

It was a very good game. The actor doesn't fit the movie, he doesn't resemble a hit man, and his face is not agressive, imho.

 

Unfortunately, when someone linked this to me last week, I had actually just listened (as in 5 minutes beforehand) to Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma. I just wish it had come at a better time . He does have a great voice, but is just absolutely no comparison to a trained tenor. With training, he should be good.

 

A big +1 to both of these statements. He's got some raw talent, but has a long way to go. My cousin is a professional opera singer(sadly I didn't inherit the musical gene) and there is just no comparison when stacked against a trained and proven voice.

 

Maybe, but there is still only a 30 second clip with no dialog, so its tough to say right now. Im really excited for it

 

You also have to figure that this is a guy with no training that sells cell phones, and you are trying to compare him to Pavarotti. My mom (who I emailed this clip to) used to sing opera professionally in Poland, Austria, and other places and she feels that he has a LOT of raw talent that with training will translate into a very successfull career as an opera singer. Don't get my words twisted I like the Pavarotti version more but lets be real now he has a great voice.

Edit: On the Hitman thing they should have got another actor. I just don't see the guy from The Girl Next Door as a hitman. I think that they shoulda called Vinny Jones up, or maybe Collin Ferrell.

 

the greatest thing about this guy is his personality, hes got an amazing voice for an "everyday" guy, i mean he sells phones, it doesnt look like he's married, lacks self confidence in anything other than singing. he doesnt have the "im a huge star attitude" about his talent, he knows he can sing but he keeps humble about it- i say lets hope the industry doesnt ruin another person.

 

I don't even have to click the link and I know who you're talking about. The first time I saw it my jaw dropped. Absolutely amazing. There's also another guy on the British version who does a song called "i'm good" which is also very very very good. From the youtube videos I like the British version much better than the American.
