    Rob's tone and pronunciation are beyond impressive. He normally has such a bright tone, but this was deep and spacious in that way that great opera tenors have, that makes the listener forget how high these notes really are.

      @@MC-fj3zz while it didn't "suck" per se, it's not that exceptional either. they may be good singers (the glasses one has better control), but this particular style of music is composed with some very specific techniques, styles and execution in mind; Think of a formula 1 car but instead of E10 fuel, you use moonshine. yeah it may start and even move a bit, but not to it's full potential. Same here, they are maybe giving it their best, and for people who are not used to this kind of music, it may sound allright..... but if you have any ammount of experience on this, you will quite literally cringe at how the arrangament was made a mess, how they butchered the language, and call a _vendetta_ on the individual who thought it was ok to use of auto tune for this kind of music.

      Austin doesn't really have the training tho. Yes he has done som theatre and whatnot but thats stil a long way off proper opera. And he doesn't really do opera here, its stil very much in the realm of pop to classic crossover. Not saying thats a bad thing, but lets call it what it is. And i agree, Rob's performance here is perfect. I even dare say he gave me a little bit of pavarotti vibes going.

      If you heard Luciano Pavarotti sing it, it would give you even more chills. Honestly, it's the song. It's about victory, so even in Italian (a language I do not understand), it's powerful.
      Seriously, look up versions of this song here on UA-cam and you'll be amazed. It's called "Nessun Dorma".
      I think good music and excellent vocals can be appreciated even when it is not the genre of music you prefer.

Your collaboration with the Giants of today and days past are sooo well done and so good for the soul. I think your innovative and generous supply of videos, especially early on in the pandemic quarantine helped bring everyone through it a bit stronger and more stable minded. I cannot say enough good about everything you guys have done.....
    BUT...
    This is another level of unexpected bliss! Nessun Dorma, sung by Calaph in the 3rd act of Turandot. It's been made famous to worldwide audiences by essentially being the signature song of Maestro Luciano Pavarotti and showcased in the 3Tenors series of concerts around the globe as an encore in addition to part of Pavarotti's program...all of which, now, I'm sure you know...but forgive my rambling, as I cannot believe what I just saw and heard.
    I'm an opera nut, and this has been MY favorite aria....probably favorite piece of music since July of 1994. I own nearly 100 different recordings of it. I learned to play it on piano, I've been singing it for 25 yrs. It's borderline a mental problem with me, the level at which my love for this piece resides. Then in the morning after a sleepless night...I'm going through UA-cam...and what do I see Rob: and Austin Nessun Dorma!?!? I couldn't believe it and had to watch! I've watched a handful of times now. Tears flowing every time. Thank you so much for recording this. Let me tell you...you two SANG this...there was no try. IT Was Wonderful! God Bless!

    Stunning! At then end of the song I realized I had not been breathing since the first note. I don`t even like opera but that was so beautiful.

      Apparently you do like opera, this is my favorite tenor aria of all times, Pavarotti was my favorite performer of this, until now ❤

    I've listened to them sing this a dozen times or more and each time I'm near or in tears at listening to their amazing talent and I never knew that Rob did start out in opera and to hear his rich voice and Austin and his voice combined it makes for a tear jerking performance. I am awed and humbled to hear my favorite group sing yet another genre and nail it as they do everything they do. Absolutely wonderful, life long fan here, always.

    No fair. I should be allowed to "thumbs up" each time I play this. I can't seem to get enough of this, and I'm not a big opera fan. Awesome. Truly Awesome.

      @@debbieorloff8789 Pavarotti had a gift, had the training, and did this for a living. These guys do not. You really can't compare the 2, but these guys were jaw on the floor amazing in their singing talents here.

    It took me awhile to stop my eyes from tearing. I remember hearing Sea Shanty Medley for the first time and asking, "Is there anything these guys can't do?" This just answered my question with a resounding NOOOOO! Each one of these men have something very special about them and every time I hear one of them featured as lead vocalist I say, ok he's my favorite. I'm not taking any thing away from Austin's amazing performance here but Rob has just solidified his position as King and deserving of wearing the crown. I'm completely blown away!
