Not likely to happen in this century.


Just read through this thread again and had to laugh at MYSELF... look at that. Yep, it's a complete 180-degree shift!
Still feels RIGHT though.

Matt - thanks for coming in!
Quick note here, that the "operatic type voice" is not what opera was meant to sound like, or what it sounded like in the time of Mozart and his contemporaries. I'd have to go into pages and pages of history to explain.

But I was shown at this studio samples of students who could sing a gorgeous aria, and turn around and sing pop or jazz without sounding "operatic."

And yes - I'll always love Freddie's vocals, operatic or technically accurate or not. smile
