9 out of 10 blind people do that.

Why not? They're aimed at the very same market, and sold a lot too to people
who've never been in an opera house. Whatever superior quality they have is
not registered by that kind of consumer, so you can't justify their success
by saying they're "legitimate". People don't know and don't notice that. If
the masses can buy a CD performed by 3 fat, old and ugly guys, why is
Bocelli supposed to depend on beauty and pity?
