This guy was singing in working men's clubs around Manchester! to get to the level he has! has taken a lot of hard work ! he may not be the best taught but his voice brings pleasure to a lot of people! well done Russell Watson!
This version is very subpar. He is not musical at all with it, and just because he can hit the notes and belt out the high A flat doesnt mean it is great. Plenty of people can hit that note. How you are able to hit and use it will determine if its good. He doesnt seem to know how to de crescendo either. Everything is just a sudden percussive release. And the diction is bad. Read the lyrics and then listen to perhaps an Italian or Spaniard sing this song. You will notice many, many faults.
Beautyful,he must have had a lot of good training. He has "the X faxtor" I have never heard him for,will listen more...(I am more in the operas,put Rigoletto on youtube. ALL the tenor part. karifrid, Kári Friðriksson,a tenor from Iceland.)
I love Jan's version and am a huge opera fan with Bryn Terfel etc..Paul Potts is very poor but Russell Watson considering he has had limited training is brill....a little polish and he would be great..well done
I agree that Jan Werner sings it better but I couldnt listen to it to the end as his Italian pronunciation is so terrible. Russell Watson to me is more pleasant to listen to as a whole.
Where does his voice come from?...he looks so relaxed, as if he's waiting for a bus....I like it that he doesn't take himself too seriously. 5*... this is in my favs now; thanks for the post.
I mean, I heard on the accent that Jan Werner was from norway before I read it.. but that doesn't make him a bad singer. And of course you don't hear it 'cause you're also from norway :)
I lived 12 years in Florida, so I can tell when someone has an accent or not, and in my opinion he has an excellent english accent. Not all singers chose to sing with an American accent...english and other variations of the language does exist outside of the US ;o)
Okey.. I was only thinking about his accent in nella fantasia. And I live in Rome now and my opinon is that Watsons accent is better than Werners, that's all.
Its supposed to sing "bel canto" and not this short notes. He should have picked a key where he can manage to sing the whole phrase bel canto... This is bad, too fast and with no feeling at all.
classical music is something i've only recently started to appreciate, it's fantastic!!!! haven't got a clue what there saying but every time i hear songs like this it sends a shiver down my spine....... FANTASTIC!!!!
It's really worth looking up translations!! most are easily gotten online for free!! classical singers dispense with base theatrics and put so much emotion into thier voices. it's truly amazing.
Creo que Russel es un gran cantante, con buena tecnica vocal. Su voz es dulce y a la vez tiene fuerza doinde lo requiere, ademas de ser muy guapo y contar con gran presencia escénica. Bravo por este tenor.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Some singers could really do with training the nasality out of their voice. It would make a noticeable difference. Having a high voice is no excuse for nasality.
Why the question? its a little dumb, I think. You probably expect me to say it doesn't matter, which is true, and you will say i'm an idiot for giving criticism. I did not comment on his singing ability. I simply noted the excess in nasality of some tenors.
human I understand what you are saying,and yes there is the nasal thing,youve made me think about it.Yes,sorry,you see my mother was an opera singer many years ago,yes,I understand what you mean,and I cant sing too save my life.xxxxxx
This was filmed 8 years ago, he's been through a lot since then, including 2 brain tumors, but had come out the other side better than ever! His voice is richer, deeper and as stunning as ever!
Russell is very good singing this but the Celtic tenors along with the Vard sisters version is just mind blowing. I hope someone puts a copy on. I heard them sing it live 3 times it was so good but Russells version is very good too.
People these days only care about what other people think. I like to hear pure voices like Russel Watson. Thanks to Russel I have grown to love such beautiful music that would have never been exploided to without his help and I respect him as one of the best classical singer.
Get your head out your backside - he is a fantastic tenor. I saw the Three Tenors in person years ago and Russell blows them away. He is truly one of the worlds best tenors.
My god Russell, being Italian, you have done something that is absolutely incredible. I feel every word. Your intense love for the music is very obvious, you can feel it. You love it. You are so happy.
This is one of the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Perhaps the most versatile voice I have heard for a long time, may we hear many more from Russell in the future.
ya calmense apuesto a que ninguno de los que le hechan tierra a los cantantes de opera sabe cantar nisiquiera lapatita y se ponen a criticarlos sonidos nasales y que russel dice novole en lugar de nuvole bueno el hombre tiene que decir u con boca de o porque no le queda de otra eso dicta la tècnica vocal para que el sonido salga como dios manda asì que ya bajenle a su veneno.el hombre canta hermoso y si no lo saben hacer mejor callense.y no armen panchos por el vowel saund
He's amazing!!!! Gives me goose bumps and makes me cry. By the way.... to hotqueekboi, he's not overrated over sympathy! He sang just as well before the tumors. He IS the voice!
Hermosa voz y carisma personal, Dios te bendiga y proteja siempre mucho, que puedas recuperarte pronto para la felicidad de tus seres queridos y de tu público. GOD BLESS YOU.
Operatic singers often pronounce vowels with the "ah" sound, as it allows for a better quality of sound. People come to hear the singing, not the pronunciation of the words.
I the "nasally sound" to which you refer is a combination of simply being the way his voice sounds, and the sound equipment.
I saw this performance as being of wonderful quality. Certainly better than the Celtic Woman version.
I know what you mean by the "ah" sound used in some cases for high singing by operatic voices. But in RW's case, it is more a case of me personally not liking how he sings 'a's in this song.
I also don't like the Celtic Women's version of this song either.
And I say this is a flawed performance because he can do better: I love his rendition of "Il Gladiatore"
Yes, his vowel placement in this piece could use some work in some places (I think twice there could've been better choices made: "ee" vs. "eh" sound), but his intonation is flawless. He has quite a versatile voice...
he has a brain tumour i think. Lets hope for the best for Russ. He has one of the best voice n' if somethin' went wrong then we lose one of the best classical singers of all time.
Hardly. He can sing classical songs rather well, but so could you. My deepest sympathies to him if he has a brain tumor, but I'm not going to overrate him just out of sympathy.
Does he still have the brain tumour? Or have the doctors taken it (hopefully all) out? I do wish him well though.
read that he's got a new album, im lookin forward to that. he's most recent that's life is excellent! real great album! hope he recovers fast from his brain tumor, is that it? he is a great artist! he did a fantastic concert here in manila.
Thank you for letting me know natq900. I was so fascinated by his voice not knowing what he just went through in life. Thank God he's alright. Just bought his new cd, and i must say listening to it & knowing he was in agonizing pain while recording this album makes it all the more meaningful. My prayers to you RUSSELL...your talent is a gift to the world!!!
Thnx x1000. Hey I admit I like Celtic Woman too, but only Lisa n' Hayley r my favourite. Hayley in which im in luv with.(back to topic)~ Hayley n' Russ makes a great duo. Thats y they came together again to sing "All I ask of You."
Amazing voice. My friends told me that you have to be gay to listen to this kind of music. But I don't care. I love this guy.

"narvole" - as he pronounces it???
Terrible. The word is "nuvole" For someone with a very overrated talent and less-operatic-than-he'd-like-to-believe, he's got a terrible ego.
All his "a" sounds are also very nasally. This is a very flawed performance, in my opinion.
