Dear friends, I must intervene!

Although we are not in church, but only I ALONE be an evil person.:-) I appeal to your good breeding. Differing opinions are always welcome. But as I said before, I'm sure nasty!! But I think you've all very friendly.

I love all of you........... your old Jay

P.S. Gay is not evil! Or let me say it around,in an other way: "I'm stupid; just because I've red hair?

Ronaldo you are obviously a gay boy perhaps Mario was flirting with you at the end of each song also I would thank you not to use such expletives as f_ _ _ k you it just shows your ignorance and poor upbringing and finaly Mario Lanza could not sing to save his life he was just a pretty boy drunkard who happened to be in the right place at the right time.Ps I am not English I am Fillipino so my english not so good

@barbrasgirl8

If, you homophobic cunt, he couldn't sing a note to save his life, where was this "best" that he was supposed to be past in your ridiculous assessment? Oh and you're the one that referred to him as a "pretty boy"....

[barbrasgirl8]

This song is and always will be associated with Nelson Eddy and Jeanette Macdonald. There frasing and pitch was amazing. Sorry,Mario was past his best here.

@barbrasgirl8

Can you speak English? "There frasing and pitch"...shouldn't that be "their phrasing and pitch"? FFS, past his best? Get a fucking grip. Vocally, Lanza was in his prime in the early 50s. Admittedly, this was yet another example of the exploitation of his voice, the high-note finish that the fans wanted from all songs from this part of his career, This was a song from his weekly Coca Cola show, songs that were NEVER originally intended for commercial release

oh my god it really is embarassing

pitch aside, his phrasing is bordering on terrible, . he has a natural voice of some quality, but im sorry he is simpla a mediocre singer

Prick

I love how Lanza would let put it all on the line and flirt with insanity at the end of each song. No other singer sang like that.
