Great, several talents there ;)

I love it when Luciano talks about meeting Gigli... there you can see the excitement of a child in his eyes even back then :)

I also would have loved to meet Luciano.

Wow, Hampson is very good at yoga. I struggle with those poses. He makes them look easy.

@Webarton Pavarotti did not have an immense voice. If anything, it was at best a medium sized lyric tenor. However, he had such an incredible amount resonance and what they call "singer's formant" that his voice was able to float over the orchestra and always be heard. The singer's formant is what allows singers with smaller voices to be heard easily while others with larger voices can be drowned out by the orchestra and chorus.

Luciano Pavarotti is so beautiful and with such sweet and smart face. I love him so much.

Listen to Pavs speaking voice compared to the others... you know that the singing voice is immense, sooo damn high in placement.
