[@GohMaxPro]

As someone who is studying opera I love his choice of what songs to do. It is almost like he knew he was getting to the final. Nessun Dorma is like the biggest aria ever and is like the staple song of Puccini's opera Turandot. I also love how this guy is a legitimate opera singer and not someone singing high and putting on a low voice, unlike others that have done got talent shows Also edit: the video doesn't give him justice, opera singers dont normally use mics and recording it is extrenely dofficult. I garauntee in the middle of the song with the high C and and the end with the high D the mic guy turned his mic down making it seem less powerful. If you love this you should go and see a full opera then you can experience the true power with your own ears
