Thomas Quastoff any day - he just doesn't fit the media image the masses
seem to crave.<

You don't mean to say Bocelli does, do you!? I don't think it's his image
that counts here, but his repertoire.

>In other words, just because she's never been cast in an opera doesn't
mean that people don't consider her, wronglly, to be an opera singer.

But do you think you would know she can't be cast in an opera just by
listening to her on a CD? There's been a discussion here about Bocelli, and
some people said they've seen him performing in an opera house without a
microphone, for instance. Are you sure you can say she isn't an opera singer
just by listening to her CD, or don't you have any extra information?

>It's like when I tell people I'm an opera singer and I get comments like
"Oh how wonderful! So can you sing that song from Phantom?" ARGHHHHHH.<

But she sings OPERA repertoire too, doesn't she?

Best wishes,
