And you're an asshole!

This man, born with a physical handicap caused by a pharmaceutical his mother used while she was pregnant, this man had to fight for his dreams, to be accepted by the society.

So stop your infantile verbal slander and piss off!

Love, love and Love!

What a great interperter, musician....

[qhubbles]

He's my personal hero. That's why I'm studying music, no matter what they say! :D

[qhubbles]

I'm agree with him in every single word he's said...

@voiceteacher100 Who are you calling Silly?ARE you really teaching people to sing?

[doddsalfa]

@voiceteacher100 let me guess, your an average talented amateur opera singer?"He didn't have to work harder than any other singer"true,because he is one of the most talented artist today.

[bloodycrampuff]

His view on music and how he is filled by it is truly awe-inspiring. Thank you deeply for posting this video. <3

Also, to everyone commenting on 'Voiceteacher100's comments... 'Please do not feed the trolls' By responding to his bullshit, all you are doing is making his voice louder, just vote him down until we can't see what he says and problem solved = P

Whats most important is what you and I take from this video and this great man.

@voiceteacher100 what the hell, this is bullshit!

3:24- 3:36 min ^^

[voiceteacher100]

yeah, yeah, yeah... poor little thing, he had to work sooo hard...

Actually many people helped him throughout his life in one way or another.

He may have not been accepted in one school, but he was given a full scholarship to go attend another one!

Things were made easy and available to him because of his condition.

He didn't have to work harder than any other singer. Like I said, he had the advantage of everybody turning to see him. Agents new it and so him as a golden mine.

[Landogar85]

That's bullshit. He wasn't allowed to study on a university, because of his handicap, and he had to work really hard to become what he now is, the maybe best baritone in the world. The "classical music" is a very hard business, especially here in Germany.
