Hey you have a fantastic voice! Beautiful.....and if you look hot as well so what??? I have big boobs too....at least you had Domingos arms around you, I wouldn't object to that even now when he's on his last legs!! LOL!!

Nice to leave in the long applause at the end...thx

[ursey39]

You're welcome :-)

I do agree that the Duke was a a role more suited to Pav, the same way Otello is a role more suited to Domingo. Agreed he does very well in his undertaking but I don't think it's a role that Domingo really liked. It wasn't his forte, plus he really disliked the character he could find no empathy with him at all!! I posted the clip just to show Domingo in a different role outside his comfort zone :-)))

Pavarotti's voice at his best was relatively lean, yet full and golden-toned. Domingo's at his was rich and lustrous. Pav had more facility in the high range, Placido more power. Bottom line: they were both great tenors. And thank God for giving us both in the same generation:) --

A very unbiased and fair comment. Well done and thank you :-) I totally agree

Everybody at their best... but LOVE Placido!

@CandyHaleLinton Ок i'm sorry for that let's not write but more listen to this amazing art of belcanto.

[CandyHaleLinton]

@ThePavafan You write like A CHILD. Aren't you interested in the ART at all? Or maybe you are just into who SINGS LOUDEST? Elephants and ants, whatever..

Com'è bello rivedere e riascoltare queste performances ormai quasi perdute. Grazie per il post.

The 3 Tenors all had their best roles. Pavarotti was Calaf, Domingo was Othello, Carreras was probably the Duke. Not taking anything away from Domingo, dude's a pretty damn good Duke, but my favourite role of his is Othello.

[ThePavafan]

@stevevandien Pavarotti was a lot louder than Placido. Pavarotti could drown Domingo any time. Luciano didn't sing otello because his voice wasn't dark enough but it was far more powerfull than Domingo's voice. Pavarotti in 1985 Tosca in Wien totally drowned Ghena Dimitrova while domingo had trouble beeing heard over Renee Fleming. And Dimitrova's voice in comparisson to Fleming's voice is like an elephant to an ant. Ghena's voice was FAR LOUDER than Fleming's voice.

la parte del duca di mantova è per TENORE

[pepeelsordo]

I love MacNeil's vibrato!! Can you sing more straight?
