my ears smoked a cigarette after listening to this

@ThisIsKuroCat Popular music singing differs from classical singing. Mercury's C5s are impressive too but in operatic performances the notes are scarce but really need more focus. I mean, Michael Bolton (light high baritone with tenorish technique) hits like 50 incredible C5s in "Everybody's Crazy" but he surely wouldn't have that easy time with operatic C5s. Both vocal areas, popular music and classical singing, are amazing though.

Pavarotti was really the master, what an incredible voice.

Dame Joan Sutherland taught him how to do this. True story.

@MrNikodemus2 ok fine. I didn't read the entire thread. Anyway I love Wagner and I'm not familar with Italian opera singers. But if you are only comparing Italian opera singers, how did Bolton and Mercury etc get involved? Yes most people have no idea what is unamplified singing because they think opera is what they see/hear on X-factor or Britain Has Talent.

@angryjalapeno PS why is it relevant how he would sing happy birthday? or blowing in the wind for that matter - we are talking about the greatest opera voice.

[MrNikodemus2]

@angryjalapeno : OK fair enough. What I meant was as a verisimo opera tenor Pav is the greatest, in my opinion. Also, the sheer quality, tone and technique he had is also arguably the greatest of the great - for example bjoerling could not sing the high notes like Pav with such ease. anyway some people seem to like to take him down - I am content to listen and enjoy. PS I might be wrpng but I don't like Wager's operas as rossini said oaese of beauty in deserts of boredom. just my opinion.

@MrNikodemus2 i dunno about caruso. he was a monster himself

[angryjalapeno]

@MrNikodemus2 what a ridiculous broad brush statement. He probably sucks at singing Bach. He didn't have the pipes to sing Wagner's Siegfried. I bet he frightens kids when he sings Happy Birthday. To say he is the "greatest of the greats" is just junior high.

[MrNikodemus2]

@incredulousG3 what rubbish. how can you write such nonsense? makes you look really really stupid. you think you are better than the greatest? you are sadly deluded china.

[MrNikodemus2]

@juicechurchvillage you are exactly right! and some idiots compare brownlie to Pavarotti! what a joke!

[MrNikodemus2]

@seattleoperaguy  you are so right! perfect technique, and a quality of sound unequalled in history. bjoerling was great, but struggled on the high notes. Pav was supreme. RIP the maestro. and some idiots say he couldn't read music what rubbish.

@estrogiovanile _ they are morons! who could dislike this sublime performance? some people can't hear sharp or flat. or anything. no one could dislike this who loves opera.
