It's not his singing with sheets in front of him, it's his NOT singing the notes which are written in it that irritates me. If he doesn't dare to sing the G flat Rachmaninov had written, he should have transposed the whole song.
Actually, many professional singers perform a recital with a score. There is nothing wrong with it, it is just a personal preference of the performer.
I just don't get how "professional" singers can stand there in front of any audience with a score.. Every time he looks down, which is often, he loses the connection with the audience. I would not pay to see him..
Ouch! Asawa can sing all right, but his Russian.... just ow. (I'm an English countertenor and a fluent Russian speaker...)

I'd pay to see Brian Asawa even if he is looking at music or not. I go for the auditory experience.

I am more impressed with the pianist than the singer. It's nice enough, but lacks warmth and passion..
