Dude..... this may not be his forte, singing Cole Porter. I wasn't a fan of this either. But people have their strengths and weaknesses. I, for example, would probably not be very good at sing reggae... =) But seriously, "abysmal singer"? Those are strong words. Don't be a dick. People pay this guy to sing. frequently. He must be moving SOMEbody with SOME music. I bet his 'Si puo' was better and perfectly lovely.
Wow, how many roles have you sung at The Lyric? This man has an absolutely beautiful instrument and you aught to be ashamed of yourself for making such an absurd comment. You, wotan3000, are a preposterous individual! ;-0
Jerome Hines truly was great.

I bow to your wisdom on this one. You are right: audibility, line, clarity of vowels and emotional investment are extremely overrated.
I forgot that opera is about mumbling and that if you can be understood and heard, there is a problem.
