Pritchard, Potts, Pavarotti and, uh, Bolton, Sing Nessun Dorma
Monday, May 18, 2009 at 09:19PM From that overseas show "Britain's Got Talent" many of you may have seen hotel waiter Greg Pritchard's male soprano rendition of Nessun Dorma a few weeks back. Interesting but if you ask me, downright painful to watch. Nessun Dorma, from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot, in English means "no one shall sleep." I had a hard time doing so after seeing this.
So of course I couldn't stop there. Paul Potts, my personal favorite Britain's Got Talent performer, belted out this version of the aria in his first audition in March 2007.
Potts was 36 when he performed for Britain's Got Talent. Let's take a look at the master Luciano Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma in 1980 at age 45 (he passed away in 2007 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer).
Last but not least, Michael Bolton does a respectable job with Nessun Dorma in this performance. Not my favorite, but not bad!
Hmm, no matter what Bolton sings, all I hear is "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You."
