Mirko, all I can say is: relax and have fun! Concerning Pavarotti, ALL THE
TIMES he came to Brazil, I think they were 3 or 4 times, he had bad reviews.
At a stadium here is SP he did so badly, some 6 years ago, that people
seemed to prefer the singers in the audience who decided to show their
abilities during the breaks. When I posted it, I wanted to make 3 points:
why to blame Church for not having great technique and charging 150 for her
presentations, while he has the whole industry backing him up, and pop stars
and everything, and gives concerts to help poor people around the world that
serve as merchandising for them all and don't solve any problems at all;
why do people, mostly on the list, criticize pop singers so often while
opera singers do also have their bad nights, bad repeated nights, bad over
and over again nights...;
and, finally, try to show that we ourselves can develop our technique and
not necessarily reach perfection all the time, or ever.
Regarding what you said about him having been great in the past, it doesn't
justify his bad performance now. If you're charging a lot of money from
people because you know they think you're great, and you know you're not
anymore, it's imoral. And all the money he raises with his presentations to
'help poor people' is compensated by his terrible presentations charging
thousands of dollars from the municipality of an underdeveloped and poor
city like San Salvador. He may not be a great singer anymore, but he's still
a great businessman!
Best regards,
Caio Rossi
