Thank you so very much! Ms. Aretha Franklin has always been number #1 with me, she is the 'soundtrack' to my life! 🤩😇🥰

Hey, very nice video, I love Sarah Brightman I would recommend you to listen more of her work, she was the muse for the role of “Christine Dae” in the Phantom of the Opera and the best selling soprano in the world You should listen : Phamtom of the opere live in Vienna Harem Fleur du mal Dreamchaser hymn

Love it Elvis greatest entertain ever and you did a great job with the post and your comments. Thanks a lot. I enjoyed it.

Wow! Thanks so much for your reaction. I loved your reaction and your comments. Pavarotti and Aretha were friends and he knew that she loved opera and that she sang opera. As a matter of fact, Aretha Franklin had sang Nessun Dorma a week or two before at a Charitable Benefit. Pavarotti had heard Aretha sing it. When his doctor told him that he had to rest his voice due to illness, he asked Aretha to step in literally at the last minute, about 20 minutes before she performed. She asked to hear his rehearsal tape so that she could see how the orchestra was going to play and the choir. Luciano Pavarotti is most often considered the greatest tenor of all time. So, if he asked Aretha to sing it in his place, that is indeed a tremendous compliment. That means that he had confidence that she would give an amazing performance. It also means that Pavarotti thought that Aretha's rendition was something that should be released to the world. I agree with you. It was meant to be. We regret that Pavarotti was ill. But, we have this stellar performance because of it. I was watching the Grammy's that night along with my family. It became a household favorite. We were so proud of Aretha. It was an extraordinary performance and Aretha sang it like no one else would sing it or could sing it. The color, texture, and tone of her voice combined with the passion that comes from her soul makes this a once in a life-time performance. My family and I always hoped that she would release an album of her favorite Opera pieces. Sadly, it never happened. I happen to listen to opera because Jessye Norman, who is one of the greatest Opera singers of all time, who happens to be a Black American, attended the same church as me in Augusta, Georgia. She walked me to church on the Sunday's my grandmother had to work. Growing up in the Jim Crow south, her career really began in Europe. She was recognized and received abroad before finally being welcomed and allowed to sing at the Metropolitan Opera House in the US. She is considered as one of the Top Ten opera singers of all time. When I heard Aretha sing Nessun Dorma infused with her gospel roots, sound of soul and R&B, I were thrilled and captivated by her performance, so was my family. I was so disturbed by some of the mean spirited responses from "snobbish" opera lovers. Some of the responses were most definitely borne out of racism and bias. Some were harshly critical and you could feel the hatred as if she had touched something sacred. They had a "How dare she" attitude. There was definitely a backlash from people who are so narrow minded in their thinking, that they could not appreciate how beautiful the tone of her voice was and the extraordinary fusion of genres brought to the song. It was disturbing to say the least. HOWEVER, there was a lot of praise for her performance. It was We could see Celine Dion standing, clapping, and shaking her head in awe at seeing Aretha sing opera. I am thankful that there well received by her peers and most people. Aside from Pavarotti, there were many classical artists who applauded her performance as well. Thanks again for your reaction. I loved it! Reply

I can't explain what it is, but this performance brings tears to my eyes after three notes in. I watched it live as a kid, and it was the first aria I ever heard. It began a lifelong love of the genre. At the time I didn't know that it wasn't technically perfect. All I knew was that someone who looked like me, was singing something that belonged to other people. It let me know that music is open to everyone.

Promises live in Paris is powerful 🔥

Dude, Dolly Parton got MILLIONS of dollars in royalties from Whitney's version because Dolly WROTE IT. Elvis tried to cover it but his manager wanted half or ALL the royalties, so Dolly REFUSED him....

Needs more volume for the band and less for you. thank you!

This is my current favorite live version.

If you look at the lyrics from the aria in Italian, you see how perfectly Aretha nailed the song. I know she had performed the song a couple nights earlier at another event, but she had not rehearsed with this orchestra at all. And it was just a few minutes notice to do it on live TV. And she still blew everyone away with her soulful rendition of the classic aria. Now THAT is a real pro.

Did you see Luciano Pavarotti’s son and daughter standing and clapping.😢

This is from Rock n Roll Circus. The Who have an awesome set. John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton play together for "Yer Blues"

Are you still doing KZbin or have you stopped because it’s been over a year since you last uploaded a video to your channel?

Great reaction!! Thank you. Loving Elvis forever.💖💖💖

First time hearing Aretha singing Nessum Dorma.Glorious.❤

thx watcher- one of my fav songs ever! - and its just u- i love an orchestra too and andrea and celine always make hit my soul! make me cry everytime - thx watcher - wow- love to u and urs !

i am sorry but everytime we touch is no joke a cover that band outwardly only does covers idk if i've ever heard an original from them

Just wanna point out Chubby Checker isn’t his birth name :p Hank Ballard is, and that’s why the voice is the same and the song is just a year later; he was in that group and when they broke up he took some of the songs to release as his own. Still him singing it heh so not a cover, just a solo version

Jennifer Hudson sings the same song Nessus Dorma

She’s the queen ❤

Yes I loved it

Band never knew what & when to expect from him.

Aloha from Hawaii.

Watch Elvis pothead Ed Sullivan both times he was on it. You'd get a laugh from each of then. You'd love them.

And there are new version from 1 to 4 so re-uploaded

Hi there is a part 5

ROCKET MAN

Long live the Queen

Hi! I want to THANK YOU for your reaction and response to Aretha Franklin singing Nessun Dorma. Which she agreed to sing at the last moment. She and Luciano Pavarotti were good friends and he knew what she could sing the song and suggested that they ask Aretha. I have not seen your channel before. I have been working really long hours. I just happened to see it today. Wow I really appreciate your response and remarks. I totally agree with you. What you had to say is right on. She is to be commended for making it her own and adding her signature sound. Obviously, Pavarotti loved the way she sang it and respected it or he would not have suggested that they ask her. Aretha had a tremendous voice range and control over her voice. She loved opera. Sadly, we never got to see an Aretha sings opera album. I think it would have been amazing. The texture and richness of her voice is highly stylized. There are other operas that I can imagine her singing. I actually loved that there were portions that she translated into English. Like you, I believe that this shows just how incredible an artist and vocalist she is. It is a unique blend of opera and Aretha's soul. This became one of my favorite live performances. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments. There were criticisms from some opera fans laced with snobbery. But, they don't have what it takes to appreciate sound and color and nuance in a voice. They need to hear opera parroted. She broke the dam and allowed the blend of Nessun Dorma and Aretha to flow. Chai-Yehovah

You can find interview with Eric Hernandez, Bruno’s older brother, on KZbin. I think it’s before they started Silk Sonic. But yeah it’s funny that it looks like 2 Bruno’s onstage.😃

There is a 5 part of 33 cover songs you didn't know were covers the 5 part is really good

I like watching reaction videos especially if they are to songs that I know I'll enjoy. This is one of the great ones. Good video!! I shall subscribe. She did a Welcome Home Concert in 1991 where you can see a lot of great performances found on youtube with The Greatest Love of All being a favorite one. I shall wait to see if you will react to that legendary performance when you do more throwbacks!

nice reaction. please more celine dion❤

Love your analysis of Bruno’s voice. He is everything! Producer, arranger, composer, writer, dancer and a spectacular vocalist!!

Aretha, what a great performance and a beautiful song, thanks for sharing
