And Pavarotti seemd to think Bocelli was even better than himself. He recommended Andre to some of his own people for a certain song.

And, he was talking about Paul Potts...not liking his "look".

My comment was for Axlseraphim88. So, yes...I and most of the world are aware that Andre is blind. Therein came my comment to dear "Axl" to close the eyes so he wouldn't be distracted by facial expressions or looks. The voice can touch, move and inspire...that was the point. Hearing the passion has nothing to do with outward appearance.

you know it's cause he's blind right?

Try closing your eyes so you can truly hear the music and feel the emotion. That would be opera for you...not theatre.

IsbetterUnderstanding that you're Italian makes your opinion partisan. Pavarotti is a God in your country and now, following his passing, a saint. I would expect nothing less from a 'Pisan' (no disrespect intended)

AxlSeraphimAre you implying, then, by your assertion that quote" but he's (Pavarotti)not ugly" thatPaul Potts,in your opinion, is ugly?

AxlSeraphim88 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

One may say Pavarotti isn't handsome but he's not ugly
