[use2slam2]

i'm telling you DAVID and John C. Reilly were twins seperated at birth!!!

[harryfaber]

Oh. He is not Jussi Bjorling or Pavarotti. Oh well.......

[lovinSpoonful]

I don't usually like classical works done in pop style but I do like the way he did this. He did a great job of it.

Hoover, received your message....

I've tried about 10 times to post first half of song, and sent you a comment to your channel telling you so. I posted the first half there, hoping YOU could post it here.

For some reason it won't let me post, even though there are 88 character spaces left after it's typed.

Go figure.

I TRIED....oh well....

Blessings, conzi

Well that is a very interesting version of Nessun Dorma. WHat he has done is to sing it in a "popular" style. I am sure he has it in him to do it in pure Operatic style if he wanted to but he is probably just pleasing his audience? He almost breaks into Opera evey once in awhile but then pulls it straight. I would love to hear him sing it in opera style!

[ProphecyJunkie]

Hey guys, I've tried a dozen times to post the first half of the song, and let HOOVER know it won't post.

No luck with either posting, here or on his channel. Go figure.

I'll try to get it posted and alert HOOVER again TOMORROW. Possible problem with YT.

@ProphecyJunkie Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore e di speranza. Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprá! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diró quando la luce splenderá! Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio che ti fa mia! (Il nome suo nessun saprá!... e noi dovrem, ahimé, morir!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vinceró! vinceró, vinceró!

[ProphecyJunkie]

SECOND HALF OF SONG:

Dilegua, o notte ! Vanish, o night !

Tramontate, stelle ! Go down, stars (eg: set, go down below the horizon)

Tramontate, stelle ! Go down, stars

All'alba vincerò ! At dawn I shall win !

Vincerò, vincerò ! I shall win, I shall win !

[ProphecyJunkie]

This is sooooo beautiful..... and I have no idea what he is singing... but who doesn't love, love, love DAVID? OMG, what an amazing voice, and to think, he'll be in heaven with ME!!

Fortunately for me, I have my very own translator who can do 6 languages for me... YIPPEE shangqinli !! Thank you shangqinli for the translation that I know will be in my in-box (giggles) & thank you HOOVER for posting.

God bless one and all.

Look up, for your redemption DOES draw NEAR!! Glory, glory!!

What a blessed singer! The opera this came from has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity, but its wonderful when a talented singer shows other Christians the voice that God has gifted him with.

[cindylavone]

He is soo sweet to talk to kind of quiet and shy he seemed very humble.

[joekrafcheck]

Truth be told...the sound struck me as the best in concert sound iv'e ever heard(from a home video) P.s. iv'e been in iraq for the last seven months and hoover your videos have been some of the brightest spots of my days. Helps me remember who is taking care of me always. Thank you so much for your videos.

[cbrusharmy]

I love David's voice, and I don't think there is much that he can't do, but I think this song is beyond his vocal qualities.  Beautiful emotion though, thanks for posting this, Hoover.

[dlwoods7]

David Phelps is totally amazing.

Thanks for sharing this Hoover. I take it you had a great time?? WOW

[hoover4000]

yes i did, im going to do a vblog about it sometime today

[hoover4000]

once again, this is live. everyone who records live videos from a concert, the sound is obviously not going to be the same as a dvd. next time you go to a concert, record a video and see how the sound sounds.
