Señor Ortega:

Definitivamente es usted el hombre que nació con el don del canto, lo recuerdo desde 1988 cuando imponía su voz ante el gremio estudiantil de nuestra gloriosa ESAHE. En hora buena, Dios lo privilegiado con el impresionante arte del canto y la interpretación armoniosa como tenor. Le deseo un cúmulo de triunfos y éxitos. Nuestra amiga en común Zulma me informó de su interesante carrera, sirvase contar con un viejo amigo y ex compañero de escuela.

ATTE. Gustavo Blanco.

TREMENDA VOZ HERMANO!

[concertobub]

wonderful - has chiarosocuro. You know there are "professional" singers out there who don't!!!! There are actual highly-paid adored and worshipped singers without it - this guy has it.

[yahualico2007]

Carlos

[paazoe]

This guy is really good. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the best operas in a few years.

[Leemk]

The voice and rendition is excellent - as good as the best singers. Enjoyed it

[operadragon1121]

Dude you can sing! I agree with Webarton on the big things. Great work!

[Webarton]

For example, at certain times you become a baritone like at 1:10-1:13 on the vowel OO.

Tenors aren't supposed to push the bottom, If placement is kept high, the ringing will come out and the sound will carry, even if it sounds weak to the singer.

Also, at the high note, you were locking airflow toward the end of the note and you hit the throat. Remember, keep the abdomen released, I'm sure you know what I'm referring to!

What's your age? I love your voice man.

=)

[Webarton]

Oh my god, reading through the comments... there is so much trash! If this is the actual page of the singer, trust me, when I tell you that you are doing well, don't listen to these morons, they know nothing about the voice.

Here is some serious criticism that I hope you consider: You have to keep that high placement like on that B or C, throughout your lower range, I know throaty sound is what many people want to hear, but you can't get up there if you push the bottom!

All The Best,

Joe

[Webarton]

Great voice, tech sounds ok., a little swallowed at times, but not bad

GL

=)

[farmersdaughter99]

I thought he was absolutely positively great. Needs more in the way off accompaniment and of course better sound.

[juanjqo]

Mira, también esucho mucho esta melodía.

ME gusta mucho la versión de Andrea Bocelli, Lucciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras- SOn muy buenos, pero todos tienen un estilo diferente.

Me gusta más la versión de Bocelli, porque la parte final es más largo que los demás, aunque los otros amplían la voz en esa parte, pero más corto.

[cuircuis]

soy mexicano y amante de la buena música. Estoy recopilando una lista de tenores que canten Nessun Dorma. Por accidente escuché a José y realmente me pareció una voz muy interesante. Me gustaría escuchar algunas otras Arias. Saben si grabó algún disco?

[marioneta16]

@cuircuis HOLA ESTE MARZO DEL 2011 ES SU PRESENTACION ESTELAR EL NECESITA DE MUCHO APOYO PUES DIOS SABE QUE NO LE FALTA NADA SOLO ESPERALO Y VERAS!!

[DJNosebleedB2Hent]

he still has a nice voice

[uva1996]

Beautiful Jose!! 

besos,

Marlene

[btsg]

good job------you try to do it. latin sound.

[eldiaquemequierasjo]

el dia que me quieras

[Mikirekai]

Schöne Stimme

[grayninja62]

the first second he started singing was just crap. 0/5

[Vladarama]

most excellent and satisfying:)

[tenormcgee]

It's a nice instrument, but seems very nasal-ish sounding. Also, sounds a little strained on top, but Domingo will fix that hopefully

[choochooboi]

I don't think Domingo can help that. He too is nasal and strains. He sings with a belt around his stomach. Don't ask me why but he does.

[lambicframbroise]

Jose, sounds good. I remember you singing this during the Siena music festival.

[OBK2222]

hi, we had a guy singing this aria in Culemborg The Netherlands ,

i think he was pretty good, what you think?

[Tenortone21]

Hell Fucking Yea Boi!!! Tena Fist!!! LMAO. You Go B!!!

[dianale12]

I've heard Jose in person...he has a beautiful, powerful voice, is studying with the best coaches,and is improving every day. He's on the verge of a great career...you'll be hearing from him!

[PecsMstr]

He does not even know the notations! That will never help him if he can't singing proper timings.

[davidsolo]

nice voice with excellent control... this guy is  going places!

[rafo4ever]

Puxa, cantas super, creo q haz cogido los matizes de placido domingo pero de todas maneras super bien...

[lavarok]

he sounds like Placido Domingo

[bcggx2]

he sounds nothing like domingo...but he is still good!

[parodign]

This only proves that you are deaf. But I admit that singing Nessun Dorma like Jose is a pleasure. Notice that he does it only with a piano.

[libetta]

it's easier to sing with a piano accompaniment compared to with an orchestra. notice pavarotti's performance with levine at the piano accompaniment, it sounds less strained, and it brings out the brilliance of the voice

[Leavon]

I think he does a a real nice job with this.

[YNitro44]

he did quite a good job. his voice is quite one demensional though.

[sexypianista]

great job jose! hope you have a succesful career as an opera singer

[aykancoskun1975]

Good but..the voice is very small low..

ah be kardeşim si notasını geriye gönderimşsin..poze de değil..ama beğendim..

[palymusic]

che splendido colore di voce...

dolcissimo

anceh nel passaggio bello bello bello..

ma quanto ancora da studiare...

[apostledesign]

Wonderful, Wonderful Job!!!

I only wish the video and audio were better synchronized. Fabulous Performance!!

[falvb]

I really love this rendition, great high voice, i specially like the vinceeeeero, with that e, it sounds magnificent, bravo

[JohnH04]

good talent. I would personally try creating more space so your tone doesn't sound strained at certain points. Great endeavor, this is a hard piece!

[spencerdorn]

Wow! this dude is totally not a boxer!

[contatolirico]

Good voice, but, il canto è monotono. Il fraseggio non è interessante.

[DrizzzztDoUrden]

Great voice and talent but terrible artist and performance ...

Shame on you

[RenatusChristoph]

Shame? Stupido.

[DrizzzztDoUrden]

Shame because of a spended talent.

[DrizzzztDoUrden]

Articulation and the lyrics are totally wrong

[RenatusChristoph]

Shame on you. You must know nothing about this aria. The lyrics are correct and articulation will surely differ depending on who's singing it. I myself don't know much about opera, but I can tell this is a good performance... Well, it maybe comes down to opinion then. But if you don't like his performance, why bother to comment?

[DrizzzztDoUrden]

I'm an older opera singer and my aim was not bothering someone. I wrote great voice and talent but his performance for this time was not good. I'm listening professionally and trying to say the right things. If you don't know much about opera don't argue and show a little respect. Opera is not easy as you think. Comments will make this artist a better singer, this is the rule of our art. I won't continue this stupid and childish argument.

[RenatusChristoph]

Well, if you're an opera singer, then give the guy a break and try to use your critique in a more contructive manner. Are you trying to make a point here other than try to 'say things right' and that you through your professional views are a better qualified commentator? How can one even listen 'professionally' to a recording of this rather bad sonic quality? I do not think that opera is easy.

[RenatusChristoph]

How can you seperate his talent and voice from this performance? Have you seen/heard him perform it better? Forgive me for maybe misunderstanding you.

[AluCardGr]

μπραβο ''sakis arabatzis tenor''

[aporlosanodesdelosan]

Ni idea de la medida.

El canto es sobre la línea armónica que traza, previamente, la orquesta (o el piano).

Amigo, la voz no está sólo para lucirla, si bien cantas cómodo y respiras muy bien.

Saludos a todos

[chrisibzu]

¡Buena!! Cuidado con los F# (lo diro...), haces algunos 'al centro', y no aprietes tanto el Si agudo. Por lo demás, me gustó, felicidades.

[Jcrewone7]

please stop singing!

[Spocko000]

hahaha. nice one Jcrewone7.

[cursosculturales]

subliiiime, simplemente sublime!!!!

[fanvox500]

De donde proviene Jose....cual es su nacionalidad

[vaquero74]

Is an incredible interpretation. Es una increible interpretación. I have liked so much!!!. Me ha gustado mucho. Correctamente afinado. Buenisimo.

[dalferr]

Bravo!

[Pawelp]

No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro

quando la luce splendera! is especially beautiful

[sbrandkamp]

New Jose Video!

address: watch?v=HbsAxmen-vY (add the youtube url to the front of it)

I will get it cleaned up as soon as possible.

[octavegirl]

I just got CHILLS! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo!

NESSUN DORMA, FOREVER!

[clinghemphill]

Jose, I haven't heard you since I left Arkansas. It is so nice to find this video of you. Awesome, as always.

tina

[octavegirl]

OMG! You gave me chills! You almost made me cry and I DO NOT CRY EASY!!!!! All I have to say is OUR PAVAROTTI has competition NOW! This is absolutely BREATHTAKING!!!!!!

[sunnycharacter]

Octavegirl, I've heard him sing like that in his car. No doubt, I DID cry! And he was driving! So yeah, this guy is supremo I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. All of us are so proud of this up and coming star! If you ever hear of him in your area, go listen to him. He'll be worth every single penny! I'm proud to know him!

Lori (sunnycharacter)

[jkws]

Get an agent!

[gilmourex]

that's quite good :)

[onesidered]

Bravo!!! Great job... Glad to see that Jose can sing it like it should be... without a microphone! Very powerful!

[onesidered]

Power like Gianni Savelli... Check out the Gianni Savelli clips to see what I mean.

[eyebeams2007]

he delivered!

[eyebeams2007]

OMG! This guy is amazing! Does he have a record out?

[operabitch77]

try the WHOLE role !!

[DavidYuan2000]

Dear José, you have a voice that only happens once in a hundred years. You have more squillo than Pavarotti. His mouth opens bigger,wider and more relax so the fast vibrato sounds more natural. However yours sounds brighter and more powerful, especially on the top. You have a great top and maybe try to open your mouth bigger (a relax way) and direct your voice to the front of your mouth instead just the head voice (feels like a bit biting an apple) would bring your voice to voice of an angel

[boston905]

I have to admit I have never heard of this singer. He has a beautiful voice. Nessun Dorma is my favorite aria in the world and I think he did a wonderful job. Very powerful and rich voice. Bravo!

[gran1981]

Menuda voz, y qué tranquilo canta. Muy bien. Bravo tenore!

[enochdoggy]

You should record this....if u have not recorded it already...

that was great....truly GREAT

[bassclefb]

thank god i got to hear this rendition right after paul potts. thanks for doing it how puccini would have wished!

[nseal20]

if that was really you GREAT JOB!!!!!

[302MarkVII]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it.

[juadan]

Beautiful voice. Best wishes for a bright future in singing. I wish to add my opinion, that you should focus on lyric repertoire, but there's nothing wrong with the way you sang Nessun Dorma. It was beautifully sung, well phrased, and it was exciting without sounding pushed. Te felicito.

[deslomezon]

tu performance no esta tan mal pero te recomendaria cantar partes mas liricas, y esperar un tiempo mas para el nessun dorma, sin duda que rodolfo de la boheme, o algunos roles de verdi que te quedarian fantasticos, muy serio tu trabajo, sigue adelante!!!!

[sunnycharacter]

My buddy Jose! Break a leg in Rome this summer! You rock! Everybody visit his web site, book my friend, he's the best! Your bud, Lori and yo, call me from Italy, you got my cell!

[bansai3]

exelente voz jose, sigue adelante.

[juadan]

Beautiful Performance. This guy has a beautiful Lyric instrument. I hope to hear much more from him.

[manuchamp99]

it's weird when he sings a low note for him, it's actually not low at all.

[alexgomez2]

José, me encanta tu interpretación de "Nessun Dorma". I love your rendition of "Nessun Dorma." I think that in concert anybody should sing this aria, I'm not sure you should start a career singing Calaf but Alfredo of Rodolfo. I just would advise you to open your "E" in vinceró, since it's a natural B and it sounds strained and forced. So try "Vinciaro" instead. Otherwise gorgeous voice and incredible "ring."

[falvb]

Me encantó esta interpretacion, tiene una voz agudísima, asi que felicito a este tenor. Yo estoy estudiando esta aria y es realmente complicada. Me gusto mucho mucho...genial

[verdiotello]

Buena voz, pero en el repertorio equivocado, un repertorio mas lirico y no Heroico te vendra mejor amigo, un Edgardo,Fernando,Nemorino,Alfr­edo,Rodolfo,Duca hay que pulir algunas cosas pero hay buena voz, suerte y sigue adelante.

[aguacun]

Muy de acuerdo. Este repertorio facilmente podria llevarle a una excesiva apertura de su voz y posteriormente pesarla y perder sus agudos.

[LucianoKraCore]

All monotone, his notes sound the same unvaried, NOT good legato, and he yells at highs. His voice is also very thin and not histrionic features and traits at all. Good exertion though.

[jlortega2006]

LucianoKraCore,

Thank you so much for your comment. It is exactly for the reasons you've described above that I'm currently studying at one of the top music conservatories in the world here in New York. I want to improve all of the areas you talk about, since I have only discovered I could "sing" opera three years ago.

[schicchi1160]

That being said, where do you study?

[arn123321]

forget him.. u have a hell of an instrument

[scrollersam]

You obviouosly don't know a thing about music or don't recognize a magnificent voice when you hear it or just being plain stupid.

[aarontenor]

I couldn't agree more. How could anyone not think this is a great voice? It is a shame he started opera training so late in life but wow, he is on the right track.

[leporellodemazamet]

Hi!

My name is David Ortega, I'm a french opera singer (Barytone)I congratulate you four your "Calaf" leporellodemazamet

[jlortega2006]

Thank You so much David, I greatly appreciate your comments, hopefully we'll get to meet and sing someday.

[anickbd]

Buena interpretacion :) Me gusta mucho!

[rebelion75]

Realmente es fabuloso..excelente..despues de estar escuchando esta Aria interpretada por famosos, lleguo aqui a qver un artista Latino Impresionante...quedé plasmado..

[jlortega2006]

muchas gracias por sus comentarios. Esto me alienta a continuar adelante.

Jose Ortega

[sunnycharacter]

Jose,

Randy and I are amazed! Bravo, my good friend. So smooth, so effortless, so powerful and heartfelt! Move over Placido! You blow all the other tenors away! God bless you as you embark on your destiny. You deserve all the great things coming your way. It's truly an honor to know you! Give your sweet daughter, my little buddy, a hug for me! Lori Duncan

[quintin0616]

You sound awesome...I love it when you sign that song it gives me the chills. You have an amzing voice!!

XOXO

Your little Sis

[tjMaxx17]

My friend tenor, Jose Ortega!! He is amazing... enjoy!!
