what a pity! no tenor can ever be at least near to mario, so this musical is an awful mess of ...

they should find another mario before making such a thing.

Thanks for your lovely comment. The 13,000 people who gave me a standing ovation every night in the that theater, perhaps do not share your opinion.

I guess people will pay to see anything these days.

@laraven0 Don't let them get you down. Everyone's a critic.

It's a production that was done overseas about Mario's life.

[LanzaLover2]

I don't get the point of the production. Doesn't seem to relate to Mario's life. Is it a spoof? Or what? And I guess I'm so tuned to Mario singing Be My Love that I can't hear anyone else doing it. Went to Mark's page, listened to Nessun Dorma -- enjoyed it. A lot better than the Be My Love.

Why do faceless people have to insult. Get on stage if you can do better.  There is a short list of singers from the past who can come near Mario Lanza (be my love) and they themselves have great voices. I will agree that mark's voice has that Enzo Stuarti sound and that's not bad in it self. And all said and done, mark did a fine job with this and a great ending.

[jodistanio]

Although Mark is no Lanza, this wasn't altogether that bad. Mark's voice reminds me of that of Enzo Stuarti, who put out a tribute album to Mario in circa 1960.

your voice is not balanced  pushed up ... ..your timing is suspect also .......
