1. Wow!!

The kid is damn good, especially for FIFTEEN!

Nessun dorma is the Pavarotti National Anthem. But it's still a beautiful song.

I studied voice for a couple of years and learned to sing opera in Italian, German and French.
He's good. In fact, he's better than Paul Potts, who sang the same thing a few years ago on Britain's Got Talent.

4. I studied music for decades.

Started Piano lessons at the age of five.
Started violin lessons at the age of ten.
My piano teacher was also proficient at violin. That is pretty unusual since they aer completely different instruments.

Was in orchestra in high school and college and also in community orchestras.
I had sung in a lot of church choirs, and decided to take lessons in the early 90s. I learned what my range was, and how to project from the gut.

Paul Potts needed just a bit of work on enunciation, but other than that his technique was good.

And I realize that people who sing rock n roll and pop have to sing differently from classical people.

Going to the opera is fun. they put the words up over the stage, while they are singing, in English, so you know what is going on.

That opened up a whole new world for me.

And a lot of the love duets almost turn into the horizontal bop. They have to do these things to get audiences.

The sets, lights, and special effects are just as advanced as any other major stage production.
