I'm not a big opera fan, but Pavarotti's version of Nessun dorma causes me to tear up when he hits the high note at the end.  Amazing.

 

Amazing, stunning, it gave me goosebumps. The human voice is a marvellous thing

I completely agree, but Pavarotti's voice is not human!  😁

I have to comment that the +1, +2 replies confuse me.  If you are adding your name to the same responses previously posted shouldn't it be +1 ?  Just adding one more response?

 

I probably am reading it wrong.  Won't be the first time.🤔

 

It's just building on previous responses with the next higher number.  If you replied with +1, I would then reply with +2 indicating that there are two of us who agree with the original post.

 

I'm not a +1 (or +2, or +3...) guy.  I just click on the like button.  Nothing wrong with +1 though.  Different strokes.

We saw Andrea Bocelli about a decade ago , he also was totally amazing 

[sgmn]

Thought I would post a few pictures of our Easter so far.

A few days ago I realised two Robins had made a nest in our greenhouse and I took this pic, its a bit blurred as I didn't want to get too close

Yesterday we went to Bournemouth on the South coast. Beautiful but cold day 

 

and this afternoon I'm prepping the veg and getting the table ready for Easter Sunday family lunch tomorrow

When I was Owens age dad used to listen to both of them while we driving places. Streisand? Diamond and Elvis as well.  I thought of dad a fair amount this weekend because of the Elvis/Vegas connection.

Another Allie sighting. The airplane is made up butterflies.

Also spotted at the airport. Hope it isn’t a sign.

His voice is magic.  My favorite is "Time To Say Goodbye".  His singing alone or a duet with Sarah Brightman.

Lovely photos Sue.

I hope you have a fantastic family Easter Sunday lunch.

Yes Lenny I have heard the term podiatric surgeon. HE referred to himself as a medical school graduate and a surgeon in the same episode that his past medical history was disclosed. Big Difference... at least to me.

Wow,this is the first time you have addressed me by my name in what seems eons.I see your point .I was rooting for him because of all his serious medical issues that he was able to overcome.

Lenny, I don’t agree with you often (ever), but this time you might be on to something!  😆

 

If I stay here longer you might find that you agree with me on other points or vice versa.😀

I was just talking about Vegas last night with my friend who is going in May.  There is a big difference since the major corporations took over but it is still a place to see if you have never been.  We have not been in awhile but would probably go at least one more time!

We have not been to Nevada since 1999.

+1

The reason I rarely do it is because I don't want to get to the end of the post to see what +# I should be and then go back and find the original.   I'm not sure if I am +1 for this post but I will see as I move forward!

@dani negreanu Dani, I have a heavy heart reading and listening to the latest news from Israel.  I can only hope and pray all of Israel stays safe.  I especially think of you, DH and your family, as I do Jack's family in Israel to stay out of harm's way.

The sister of one of my closest friends ,her 8 children and their families live in Israel.I am worried about them.

[Ozark_Kid]

Looks like Kenzie might have some competition.   Looks like the others want to drive too!

Lenny, of course we worry, but we go about our lives as usual.   They live in a nightmare every minute of the day.  I hear that fear almost daily when I talk to my sister-in-law and family in Israel.  I feel that fear when @dani negreanuDani posts.  May they all stay safe.

I'm the opposite.  I start where I left off at and sometimes respond to a post to then find out others said the same thing I did.   

I have not been on here since Thursday.I am reading what seems to be 1000 posts.

OMG can those cuties get any cuter?  Kenzie is in the driver's seat.  That VW is a British car with the steering wheel on the "other" side.  🤗

I saw that show on Celebrity Equinox and Edge. This singer (Charity Lockhart? I think) also had her daughter perform with her on one of those sailings. What a fantastic performer! I enjoyed her shows. And I never knew about Miss Aretha filling in for Pavarotti either.

Check out the group Ladyz and the Boyz on You Tube .one of the featured singers in the band sounds just like Aretha Franklin.

I have never been to Israel and am not familiar with the geographical locations .The people I referenced live in Ra’anana
