Russell Watson underwent emergency surgery and an extensive rehabilitation programme, including radiotherapy after it was discovered there had been a regrowth of his pituitary tumour that bled into his brain. Of course, everyone is free to like or dislike Mr. Watson's solo performances but mean-spirited and denigrating comments have no place on YouTube music videos. I totally agree with comments that praise Mr. Watson's vocal talent.
sick of people slagging him off and comparing him to other people ....bottom line is that he is fantastic .,, this version is fantastic , this is his best performance he is very good , better than the people who knock him by far and he has made his money from doing something 99.9% of people cant even dream of doing ....if you dont like what he does dont watch his videos and pass snide comments ...rant over !!!
@tonyopera All people are saying on his videos is that he's a pop opera/classical performer, rather than an real opera/classical performer.Pop fans like his version of Ave Maria, but opera fans see him as someone who doesn't have the voice, training or technique to sing opera and classical material the way it was meant to be sung. Both opera and popera genres have validity to their fans. All opinions are welcome on YT. Saying "You can't sing like him" is an invalid and irrelevant comment.
My wife and I saw Russell sing this at Wembley Arena, we were lucky to get front row tickets in the centre of stage, backed by the London Phili Orc....WOW...we thought we were the only two people he was singing to, it brought tears to my eyes and a shiver down my spine, Seen him live 3 more times since. Great Talent, Russell....good to have you back to good health.

Oh dear :-( No power or quality to his voice. He should stick to pop music.

I have never heard an orchestra and a soloist be together meshed so perfectly. The timing and sound of both are excellent!
