Meh. I missed his performance, but he's Andrea Bocelli. Everyone on Earth knows that man is capable of with his voice. Maybe he had a cold?

I've never seen him mime before. He's obviously not used to miming or he would have been better at it.

it was an absolute dirge. classical singers should not attempt crossover. only someone like frank sinatra (or michael buble) can carry such a slow song effectively.

Luckily we were there last year when he was on and he certainly didn't mime then.
Tonight, however, I thought it looked like he was miming, they kept panning away tho so you couldn't have a good look. |

I agree. I was there and no way was he miming during the recording of that.

That song would have suited Lance Ellington and he'd have sung it better.
Why did the BBC shell out more of our cash for an unsuitable but well-known singer? Because it's all down to ratings chasing. |

Missed the performance.
He's not still trying to be a swing singer, is he? |

He stood there stiff as a poker with a display of miming so atrocious it beggered belief.
They could have saved themselves a fortune and just had a cardboard cut out of him standing there and played the track. What on earth was the point of it all !!!! |

It's hilarious really. First he's miming, then people who were actually there say he wasn't (and why would someone like Andreas Bocelli need to mime?). Then a blind man is criticised for not moving about much.

I wondered if he had the autotune on.
He plays a mean game of frisbee. Duck! |

Sorry, I created a duplicate thread. I think it was a waste of a talent. But he was still better than Alfie Boe trying to operafy the Bond song (Live and Let Die was it?)...

I don't imagine he usually moves about much, in view of his disability - there's a real risk of banging into the equipment near his feet.

Just checked and that song is on his album Passione, along with a couple of other classic pop songs. I agree that opera singers are not that good at pop songs, but he (or his record company) must be trying to widen his appeal.
Not sure why he was miming though. |

I doubt Andrea needs to mime. Those are for the 1D sort of 'performers'. I believe it's out of sync, he knows better than to offer a mime act for being paid to fly all the way here to sing a song for SCD.

I do not see the point of Andrea singing a version of a popular song that any Tom, Dick or Luciano can do down the pub of a Saturday night after 10 pints of lager. He didn't even sing it well. Or rather, it was an excruciatingly-paced version with a tempo better suited to a funeral. Even then the corpse would probably walk out in disgust.
Why do they do this? Don't they have enough money? They have ears. How do you live with yourself when you have a sublime voice and you come out with such rank garbage?! |

I agree. He barely used his range. That song was like one octave wide, and Andrea could possibly do three octaves or more. Such a waste.
For those unaware, as I've posted this information before... Historically, popular music was sold in sheet music form as at one time there were more pianos in homes than radios, and for decades sheet music outsold records. The charts were based on sheet music sales until 1952. So there was no point in writing a popular tune outside those parameters, that purchasers would buy, play and "sing round a piano," as an octave and a half is the limit of the average person's vocal range. Otherwise, they wouldn't buy it. All the classic tunes used for dance from the best loved musicals fit this format. This tradition has carried on since. Any song sung by Frank Sinatra demonstrates this fact very well. It's not until we got to the age of digital enhancement, (apart from a few "vocal athletes") was there any significant change. |
