Shut up idiot

He sang a powerfull and splendid high C ever !

[blackdog978]

He sings it well but his high c would be better transposed to B - as Caruso, Martinelli et al did to great effect.

[sopranosd]

@lightenor - you need to lighten up 'light' tenor, and learn some manners.

[lightenor]

very sharp and powerfull

Roberto, amore mio, Manrico non è per te....

[sopranosd]

I don't like to hear him strain his voice in this repertoire, especially on that last terrifying high C. He has a tendency to go sharp, too, which to me indicates he is pushing too hard. His voice is so lovely in the lyric rep., like Nemorino. Sad to waste a terrific instrument on big shout-y roles.

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Alagna in this repertory, but this is really hot. And in the original key!

Das ist ein Forum, mitsch0307, und es ist der Sinn eines Forums, seinen Senf dazuzugeben - ob die Leute nun deiner Meinung nach Ahnung haben oder nicht. Außerdem muss nicht das Publikum Ahnung haben, sondern der Künstler. Wenn das Publikum sagt: der ist Scheiße - Pech für den Künstler!

[rosetheatre]

I agree. Here's a thought.......lets hear you sing it Ben. I'll be the first to buy seats....one condition though, please make it in Toronto, you don't sing enough in Canada.

[Huljic]

It`s good!

find your light dude. The spot is behind you. At least hit the cue right since you can't nail this song. To light a tenor.
