Pavarotti is a comedic genius

[lohengrinlite]

I am listening to my copy of "For Lovers Only: The Romantic Pavarotti" and I have not laughed this hard in a long time. The CD as a whole seems to be composed mainly of songs by producers which were written and orchestrated to sound like arias or italian art song. There was one track, though, which made me lose my shit laughing.

This is why I always have, and always will, prefer Carreras.

P.S. You're lucky I'm to tired to start into a laundry list of bad jokes that I hear behind the fact that you even have that cd... :p

Well, it had like three arias I was singing on it. Besides, I got it off the internet.
Among the stupidly famous living tenors I prefer Bocelli because he's blind and that makes him better for some reason.

Right, you have it because you're singing some of the same arias... Of course I believe that... :p

As for Boccelli, he's definitely a super close second for me (although he may win out in the stage presence category...). At any rate, he and Carreras are the only tenors I've ever heard thus far that have brought me to tears. Have you heard Carreras sing "E lucevan le stelle"? If not, listen, and be converted.

Why wouldn't you believe that? It was Dalla Sua Pace, Un'aura Amorosa, and Una Furtiva Lagrima. Not that crazy Puccini shit.
