Thank you very much for posting this. I had to blog about the email Jonah Goldberg received regarding his posting of it along with it. Just adds even more impact to the man’s performance even if it’s just his opinion on it.
And here I’ve seen it referenced three times and almost missed it still.
I wonder if he would have received the same welcome if he was in America. America does not have quite the same opera heritage as Britain and the rest of Europe.
That’s what I was thinking Micro. I’m not one to bemoan what we enjoy as a cultural but I REALLY feel sorry that we never really accepted how incredible that music can be.
Absolutely marvelous. If you compare him to Pavrotti performing the same aria, you realize how gifted this amateur really is.

Oh well. Least we have good teeth overall.
it brought tears to my eyes and I don’t even know what he is singing.
Me too, JROOSH. Awesome.
Thanks for posting this, Jay. I’m going to send it to everyone I know.
BTW, he won!
