I understand that people in classical music circles/opera will find plenty to critique about his technique or sound, but that is far from disliking the performance. He has the vocal talent to sing many of the big Tenor Arias which is nothing short of a feat in itself.
Seems you just can't please some people (8 dislikes).
I'm italian and if an american guy can sing like this an italian song and make me feel something like him...his great,he is a great singer!congratulations neal!! (I'm sorry for my elementary english!)
Not that this guy isnt incredible, but everyone is like yay the US finally has an opera singer, hasent anyone heard of Josh Groban? Once again, i remain that Neal is very very very talented.
Neal is the new dawn of opera. Love his voice,compassion. His entire being is such a God given talent. I would love to see him and Donald Brasswell sing a dueo, what a magnificent stage it would be,
I saw this live in Las Vegas at the MGM grand hotel and it was 1,000,000 times better live! And my dad and I took a limo back to our hotel......it was fun!
I, too, get goosebumps! I have no idea what he is singing about, but it is beautiful! They say if you don't understand the words, but are drawn in emotionally, you somehow or another just touched by it! And I, for one, believe that, because before Neal, I HATED opera music! I just had no ideo what I was even hating! Ignorance, huh?
He has the most beautiful voice, but what adds to it is the feeling that he puts into the song. He has a talent that is from God and I hope he always sings because of his love for music.
@donnafromcape It's from the opera 'Turandot' (a Persian Princess) by Puccini.
The aria is 'Nessun Dorma' (no one sleeps) sung by the character Calaf. His father's land has been seized by the Persian Empire, which stretched all the way to China, and he hopes to win the hand of the princess and succeed her father to the throne, whereupon he will return his father's land. No one knows who Calaf is, so the King issued an edict that no one sleeps in the kingdom until Calaf's identity is revealed.

I compared his version with that of pavorotti and thought neil nailed it and in some ways he is better. His voice comes on so much more powerful.
