Darius Campbell - Non Piu Andrai (Popstar to Opera Star)

[ancamg]

They should sing without microphones! He is hot, but when he sings higher notes (not the falsetto) he enters the pop voice.

[fffan4]

They should also lose the mics.

[millerj3066]

@fffan4 agreed, opera deal with power and resonance...not elecronic amplification...but still he did a great job

[fffan4]

Falsetto in Opera? BLASPHEMOUS.

[shortshudson]

Yuck. Terrible voice for Figaro. It's missing the richness, and the boom of a good bass-baritone voice.

[millerj3066]

this is his most convincing attepmt at opera...most opera like with his voice...with some time he could actuaully be a pretty good one. I really enjoy this aria!

[MasterIsh91]

Clapping along to Mozart?

Can't believe it.

[iMattCi89]

is it just me... or does Darius' brother look a little bit like Daniel Radcliffe from an angle?

[Wagnerlover777]

I think that he needs to work on the break from chest to head voice, and that he doesn't have the right resonance for opera, but with a few years, he could be a quite good opera singer.

[samuelodog]

Darius... what a d*ck

[TheDmitrilover]

His voice is not for this! That's awful!!!!!

[epouvantay]

Was für eine beschissene Show, das ist der größte Dreck.

[sevensidharta]

Es malísimo!!!!! Es la peor versión que por desgracia escuché!!!! Están drogados o que les pasa? Encima se hace el banana el tipo, se las da de canchero!!!! Que pelotudez por dios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Como siempre los yanquis haciendo mierda las obras de arte... Es la peor grasada que he visto!!!

[sevensidharta]

Es malísimo!!!!! Es la peor versión que por desgracia escuché!!!! Están drogados o que les pasa? Encima se hace el banana el tipo, se las da de canchero!!!! Que pelotudez por dios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goldenthroat86]

WTF is real opera singer like Villazon doing on this show?!? He must really need the money!!!

[MyStyleIsBlack]

oh my gosh!!! I don't know who won this thing, but i hope it was him! he was amazing! he could actually make a really good opera singer! not Andrea Bocelli material exactly, but still...really good. :)

[Kavanaugh]

@MyStyleIsBlack Yep, Darius won it :) ... deserved in my opinion, though there were a few performers on there I thought were really good.

[Operndirektor]

Villazon lost all credibility beeing a seriuos singer!

[IAAN0108]

He is quite good, but I thing that he needs more passion when singing.

[G0LDG0LD]

Lolz that judge is so gay for looking at his zipper.

[SilverWorldUK]

2:37 Looks like hes fallen completely in love with his right hand.XD

[eurydike]

he is handsome, would look well on opera stage:-)

[Blazedys]

2:22 lol

[Becca16luvsRhydian]

Loved Darius from the start. His brother looked a bit pissed off

[makikomi]

Seriously, seriously good. I never much cared for opera, though I like classical music (amongst others), but this has encouraged me to explore opera more.

[RivkahKingby]

I love you Darius!!

When are you coming to Norwich to give us a concert??

[Sc0ttyR92]

Howcome he's called Campbell now, he used to be called something else.

[stylinnprofylin]

@Sc0ttyR92 he took the name Campbell from his grandad.

[rhodasctkw]

@stylinnprofylin its actually his mother's maiden name

[stylinnprofylin]

@rhodasctkw i know that i`m just saying that he took Campbell after his grandad who is his mother`s dad,it seems Darius and his Grandpa were or are pretty close.

[daf95xf430]

Bravo maestro!! I echo what "cunningvixen" has posted. I was never really a fan of yours, but that performance has forced me to change my opinion. Your forte is opera.

[cunningvixen]

Mamma Mia Darius, I've heard the greatest baritones sing that aria, why oh why didn't you train to sing opera ?

It's not too late ! ! !

[CockneyRebel1979]

I LOVE this song! Not only did Darius win last night, but I think he DESERVED to win! Fair play to ya, Darius, son!

[rhodasctkw]

@CockneyRebel1979 I totally agree!

[SuzLa1]

I can't understand Italian. I managed to translate Amore e musica by Russell Watson and I liked it more when I could understand it.

[SuzLa1]

Where are his parents from? Are one of them from Greece?

[hippyju]

He's half Iranian, half Scottish

[ejrouge]

I didn't like him by the way...

[ejrouge]

I've just got to know this show today. Can somebody tell me who was the winner if there's one already?

[CatarinaC1193]

Darius Campbell

[hippyju]

Darius won the show

[dandis0707]

i bet he loves his hand ROFL

[Cartoonking3rd]

They made a joke on that in Harry Hills TV Burp.

[JJBJJBJJBJJBJJBJJB]

@Cartoonking3rd lol i saw that too on harry hill, he well fell in love with his hand

great performance darius

[dandis0707]

i no soo funny

[flindas]

And the winner is ... Darius! Well done, Darius - a worthy winner.

[adamwould1]

i love the vocal at 2:37

[JoanCollins2009]

I don't fancy him

[jemmabond]

2:37 - he fell in love with his right hand...ha ha ha! Wonder what their children would look like!

[riley2136]

2.37 - Harry hill says Darius falls in love with his right hand. win.

[webluva198]

Well spotted Harry. It shows how good an actor Darius is.

Figaro is supposed to break from teasing Cherubino to romance his girlfriend who is also on stage with him.

The producers gave Darius no other actors but Bernie and Danny had dancers and singers. Go figure.

[jackscal1]

his brother has his eyes,, hes a cutie too! poor thing, he felt so embarrassed but had to support his older brother.

i think darius will win this, i had my doubts, but i think its become his comeback show,, a new name and new image,,but still hot, but in a mature way, not the cocky popstar mode

[girlfriday46]

vote, vote vote for Darius tonight, he deserves to be in the final, he really is so good and improving each week.

[sfdickens]

Darius just keeps getting better! I couldn't stand him as a pop singer but he's really found his niche - what a great rich voice, and a lovely sense of fun too!

[SecretSong]

Great fun performance ~ loved it! :D

[cazziekins]

Thank u!Do u have Kym and Bernie perfs from last week also? ;o)

[clarely]

@cazziekins I didn't upload them because I found them uploaded by another user :) I put up Darius' because I needed it for a blog post I was writing and no one else had put it up. Sorry!

[cazziekins]

I searched and searched with no luck but i see you have posted them now and it is much appreciated! You don't happen to have week 4 as well do you? I know greedy gal ;o))))

[loonylinda]

god hes a sexy one! and a very impressive sound from him too! lol

[webluva198]

Well sung, well acted. Fun! Shame he couldn't sing the whole aria.

Meatloaf humiliated him needlessly. IMHO we're seeing the silver, closed zip fleetingly.

[girlfriday46]

just fantastic!!! he makes me want to go see an opera - with him in it obviously!! as it is he has made me ventrue to Musical Theatre in which he excells

[madagascar69]

HE'S veeeery veryyy good
