Hi Maggie, love your reactions!!! I never saw you react to a "Fado". Do you know this musical genre? It's typical from Portugal and I'm sure you'll love it!!! If you want to react to one, I propose that you listen "Mariza - Gente da minha terra Live in Lisboa" just to introduce you and make you a fan :)

[@alanfoster6589]

Diana Ankudinova performing "Crow" from last week. Arguments going around and around on the web over whether or not she sings "ha" after her repeated "Yay-yay", or if the "ha" is done by a backup singer. Need your expert opinion.

[@peterk9562]

Pentatonix - Run To You (i was told it was written by Avi himself) - I promise you you have never heard anything like that from PTX before...This song was covered many times and is a PTX classic...First time i heard it i started to cry because of its bittersweet sound.... I love PTX and i love seeing people react to them ... i found your channel yesterday and was happy to see that you recently reacted to PTX again.... Run To You is so different from the other PTX songs or i would say one of a kind....No instruments, pure singing....one of their first songs....

[@TheBambam7711]

If you haven't listened to Luciano Pavarotti, Brian Eno, Bono, The Edge - Miss Sarajevo (Live) it's one of my favorite songs ever performed.

When he sings Nessun dorma, I’m always trying very hard not to cry. It is just overwhelming.

Pavarotti was the first opera singer I ever heard and I was mesmerized from the first sound. Growing up, I listened to him every chance I got and I believe he is the reason I was interested in musical theater. Thank you Maggie. Very few reactors cover his materiel even though he had such a profound impact on the world. He was the first Rock Star Opera Singer.

Full disclosure. I participated in the Pavarotti competition in Modena back in the 80’s and his first wife, Adua, was my agent in Italy. He worked with me on my first Duca and he was an incredible friend and mentor. A little secret - he hated studying but he had such a great feeling for everything he sang. I still miss him.

[@cadelanning8780]

I think the cover adds to the piece. It just shows another skill he was able to do so well, and letting his voice return to full range at the end of the note sounds so great.

[@philippesauvie639]

Reneé you are reacting to one of the most importants singer of all times. He sang operas, arias and popular music, also he was a very simple and charitable man. God Bless You don Luciando, RIP.

[@danieldickson8591]

I've seen/heard recordings of other Pavarotti performances of Nessun Dorma, and when he was younger he held that last note a lot longer. But I think where he cut it in this performance meshes better with the orchestra. At this stage in his career, though, his technique from experience makes his voice sound richer and fuller. And the passion he channels through this performance in particular is second to none.

[@jeffwhyte5867]

one of my favorite arias ever. His frontal mask is amazing! Thank you for your comments and review! I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm in appreciating 'music' as I do.

it's almost like he just opens his mouth and the sound comes out - effortless x

[@hilarypotter3334]

I’m not really one for operatic music but this song gets me every time. Pavarotti is absolutely spectacular. The closest current voice that I have heard that comes even close is Alfie Boe. Maggie, have you ever heard of the group Il Divo? I really think you would enjoy them!

[@trixiebella]

[@cooperstreet78]

Recently just started listening to opera and this is easily my favorite aria so far. I've listened to it so many times and still can't describe the emotions it makes me feel, simply amazing.

[@earldeanpowell]

His forehead never changes, he opens his mouth and the air clicks open, it clicks closed. No stress on the face. BTW, Turandot is an outrageously great story and it saddens me people see this gem, not know the words or setting (come morning, I'm kicking ass!) and ignore this fun action, thriller opera.

[@nikmabc]

Loved by millions.

[@NiaMeg]

This was great-your descriptions & explanations of what he was doing, why he was doing it, and how he was doing it were wonderful! I saw Pavarotti at the Kennedy Center twice in the 1980s, and Nessus Dorma was the encore at one of them! His ability to be heard even when he was singing very softly-in recital, no microphone-was incredible. My top two musical performances? The Beatles in 1966 and Pavarotti in Tosca at the Met in 1987❤️

[@whitevader007]

He was on David Letterman's Late Night talk show, back in the day. In response to Letterman's queries, Luciano Pavarotti likened the male tenor voice to "an animal scream", and said he had spent the last 50 years learning how to "tame it". Best description I ever heard!

Maggie - in this clip not only was Luciano singing the part he was fully in character as Calaf. For several seconds after he finishes the aria his facial affect reflects Calaf's pain...he's still in character! And he meant it. He was not only a huge tenor he was a superb actor.

[@jamesditsworth3845]

When I first heard Pavarotti, I was mesmerized and dumbstruck. I was an immediate fan. Since then I have heard many, many performances by other tenors. His mastery eclipses all of them, even the great Caruso. To me, he is the greatest vocalist of all time. [Also a big fan of Kathleen Battle.]

THE TENOR GOD, THE GREATEST, THE ONE. My fave version. I have it in my memory. I love reaction videos of professionals like you. There is a feeling of authentic reaction and pro insights. Yes, there is a touching theater play now, a softer touch unlike his. Like where is the belting? Sharing: I was a choir member, Bass, I tried to copy him (after learning how to sing openly or not holding back I seldom sing at karaoke (videoke)) I sang at the rehearsal (and at the actual mass) Adeste Fideles. I almost died. XD I felt that all my blood was squishing, draining out. The elder well not old, said "sound like Pavarotti..." the choir guide was kinda surprised too. It was like a death-defying stunt. It was the last attempt. He he. Those reaction are very important for me with a sad life that I have. So far for that, Pavarotti has been my favorite. We are so impressed hearing and watching him and other through videos like this BUT listening live is far better. There are like sounds you cannot hear in recordings. I read a similar comment that "When he sings it's like God who is singing" (if not exactly). And in a duet with his father in a church singing Panis Angelicus was also explosive. I was looking for the microphone. It was like just beside them. Pavarotti sound just so different and very powerful. His dad sings so high but his high notes has masculinity like a mix of tenor and the other voice, not bass. His incomparable. If he is in heaven now I am sure they are enjoying the unlimited Pavarotti. He would always be singing beside God.
