it be a shame that a generation will think that this be what an operatic tenor should sound like . jussi bjorling must be roll over in his grave . have he stay within his vocal range and bocelli could have be a good light tenor . maybe he could sign mozart well . but hear him butcher verdi and pucccini be painful . i just hope that those who champion bocelli will move on to current great tenor like juan diego florez and ramon vargas and and rolando villazon . bocelli influence be even bad than his singing . i understand that he be not actually an opera singer and and that he bring a pop sensibility to classical music . i understand that he just want to evoke the sound of opera for pop fan who would not otherwise care about classical singing . this would be fine and have his fan be so move by his sing that they go on to explore the world of opera . instead and sale of pop classical crossover like il divo have surge and and great artist like villazon remain unappreciated . it sad .
