I never subscribe to reaction channels. For you, I have made an exception. Your sensitivity and empathy and decency is truly admirable. Never change.

You ain't from the gutter, partner. You're human with a soul.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars” Oscar Wilde

Pavarotti's gift was unusual. The voice, the execution, the interpretation, the emotion. Absolutely incredible!

No human being can avoid sharing a tear when this man sings this... Welcome to the feelings, dear!!!

I live in Pesaro, an italian town on the adriatic sea where Luciano used to pass his summer holidays with his family or when he needed to restore. His house was on a hill just in front the seaside where me and my family used to go to the beach. Often we were able to listen the Maestro training his voice, especially before important tours. Imagine living summer in italy, going to the sea and listen the Maestro live singing from his private house. Sometimes he came down to have a breack and eat some "piadina" in a restaurant near the beach. He was always very kind and with us children (now i m 33) he always made jokes and always smiling. Moments that i will keep forever in my heart. I feel lucky to be italian. Sorry for my english.

“I came from the gutter” Sir, your willingness to listen to classical music rose you from the gutter. Your emotional connection to the classical music makes you a king.

Music of all kinds melds human souls! I'm a senior white lady, raised on all kinds of music: classical, folk, soul, Broadway, rock n roll. Join the legions of Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma" fans and we'll all shed tears together!

It’s okay to cry when you see or hear true beauty.

Dude. You didn’t come from the gutter. You’re remarkable.

I love that when he sings “I will win!” (Vincera!”) at the end, you may not have understood the Italian but you FELT IT! That’s the power of classical music. 💜👏🏻💜

It's ok to weep brother, I'm 70 now and I been tearing up over this since I first heard it in my 20s.

The last words of the song are "I will win." A real man will allow real music to move him, you sir are truly a man.

"VINCERO!" he sings 3 times . Its the last words he sings. means in Italian "I WILL WIN"!!! You've already won just by opening your heart to this!

I love this guy's reactions. He's so genuine and vulnerable. Helping out a guy like him (if he needed help) would be a privilege, and would change you for the better. Hope he's doing well.

I watch this performance every couple of days with my mom who is 93yo and has dimensia and she remembers the song immediately! Although, she doesn't recall that we watch it all the time. As soon as it begins, she says "Oh, what a beautiful song this is! Don't change it!" And at the end, we are both speechless.. every time. I'll always remember this song that way, whenever I hear it.

I’m 53 years old my friend, and I get tears in my eyes every time I listen to this. I truly appreciated your honest reaction. Take care.

Always have to fight my tears when I hear Luciano sing this....it's like a religious experience...

Nothing, literally nothing in music has ever impacted me so hard as hearing this great man sing this song for the first time. This is musical perfection. This is joy. You can see the passion in his face and in his voice. When he finishes the song, the expression on his face is one of knowing that he has just finished the performance of his lifetime.

You are so right. He is an angel now. He passed away and sings with the angels and his music and voice is a gift from God! I was blessed to be able to be at his very last live concert and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! May he rest in peace until we get to hear him sing to us in heaven!

No shame in crying, brother. When something moves you, it moves you. The song Ave Maria makes me cry everytime.

"I came from the gutter, I'm not used to hearing stuff like this, man" I felt that

The way he sings this song touches my soul. I am an African woman and I love classical music and opera. Music knows no color. Keep your heart and mind open to new things always.

" I'm going to make sure I'm going to Heaven ". Pavarotti has done his job on earth. 💕🙏

Gotta say...when you paused the video...I was thinking, ''Just wait....just wait....be prepared to be blown away, young man....''

I saw him sing this in concert. There was complete silence for seconds and then thousands of people surged to their feet just screaming. I will never forget and I'm so happy it touched you.

Dear, you did not come from the "gutter". You came from under the angels wings. Don't ever forget! I grew up with such opera music. But because of people who are so immediately touched by that music like you are, I learn to hear it in a fresh way, I appreciate it more than ever, because of your reaction. Thank you!!!.

Puccini wrote this in a language we don't understand and yet we listen to this, it reaches through time and something deep inside is stirred. So not just the great Pavarotti. The great Puccini.

No matter how many times I’ve heard it as soon as Pavarotti starts to sing my eyes tear up.

I’m an American ex-soldier living in Italy for 10 yrs. This song brings tears to my eyes every time. It’s your humanity reacting. Google the words to the song and the song gets better. Trust me.

You don't have to be an opera fan to love this! His voice is incomparable.

I had the privilege of hearing him sing in person. His voice made the seats literally vibrate, and I was in the nosebleed section. His voice went straight through my soul. There are no words good enough to describe it.

That's the most beautiful reaction I ever saw. You have a beautiful soul.

It's ok to weep. It's not unmanly. There is nothing like when music stirs the soul. Praise God for his gift of music!

When I was a young college student, I worked at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti sing many times, and believe me, I had the same reaction as you. There was not a dry eye in the house. When he hits that final note, it's almost as if even he can't believe what just came out of him! Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone. I was a young Black man, born and raised in Fort Apache, The South Bronx, but I refused to let that determine my path in life. You are an inspiration! It doesn't matter where you came from. What matters is where you're going. Keep growing, young Brother. You have inspired this 70 year old heart today!

I’m 71 and white. I had 2 alcoholic parents and I didn’t have the best of things growing up. The past that you could not control does not define who you are now. Take your platform and grow every day. However, grow the way you want. Learn the things you want to learn. You have broken free of the limitations of your past. Take whatever and all the opportunities that you have now and live the life you always wanted. Never compromise. I love this reaction and your openness with the truth but don’t let it limit you. Never use it as an excuse to not excel in all you do going forward. I look forward to seeing more reactions from you. Thank you.

Translation: No one sleeps, no one sleeps. You too, O Princess! In your cold room are watching the stars that tremble with love and hope... But my secret lies within me, No one shall know my name. Oh no, I shall reveal it only on your lips, When daylight shines radiantly. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine. Depart O night! Fade away stars! Fade away stars! At dawn I shall win! I shall win, I shall win! ☺️

I've heard this a hundred times and it still makes me cry. Your reaction is genuine and sincere.

Mate, you are one of the most authentic voices I've come across on KZfaq. Love it :-)

He touches your soul brother, this man is a legend. Than you for reaction.

No matter how many times I've heard pavarotti his voice and singing gives me chills every single time

Darlin', don't ever feel 'weird' about being overcome with emotion when hearing something like this. I must have listened to 'Nessun dorma' a thousand times in my long life, and it always brings me to tears. A lot of opera and classical music does that to me. There's just something sublime - extra-human - in it, that touches the soul. It's an example of what man can do at his very best - in art, poetry, literature, architecture and music - and have it live long after the artist himself is dust.

*This is why music is such an amazing language, all in itself.......* I do not understand one word Pavarotti sang, but I felt every lyric, every note, and every emotion, which says a lot about his amazing artistry, talent & delivery❣❣❣

I remember the very first time I heard this. It was 1969. It was on a now defunct classical radio station in NYC. At about 2AM in the morning, the DJ who played this, Bill Watson, played it over and over again. After about the fourth or fifth time, he cut into the music and said something like, "please stop calling me to say that the same song is playing over and over again. I know it is. I'm playing it because there is someone out there who is just hearing this for the first time, and they MUST hear it." Thank you Bill Watson for the introduction. It's been with me ever since. And thank you JBLethal for being open to this experience. It is mind altering, and you're a better man for having heard this and appreciated it.

The power, range, and control in his voice is unbelievable.

This is what it means to be Human, touches your soul.

Nessun Dorma is a very special song, it’s just so well composed, Puccini masterful composition of this song brings out the feels and then to have Luciano Pavarotti bring it to the next level. Its really transcendental. We need to give a LOT of credit to Puccini for this and what can I say, Pavarotti was the best performer to interpret this song, ever.

I`m a 64 year old man raised on rock music yet EVERY time I hear this I melt . Good luck , it doesnt matter where you come from its where you are now that matters .

Never EVER ceases to make me cry. The mere fact that someone WROTE this, and it can withstand CENTURIES, is overwhelming. Period. RIP Pavarotti. 1936-2007.

My mom said it best; “for a moment, we had peace” 😇

World Cup Italia '90. The BBC chose Pavarotti's rendition of Nessun Dorma as their theme music for the tournament. Literally millions of people who thought opera was a load of boring crap for rich toffs were completely blown away and fell in love with this piece of music in an instant. I was one of them for sure. Without even understanding the language the power of his voice fills you with emotion. Incredible.

Im a pianist and used to play for singers, solo, etc. Long before reaction channels were a thing. It's your reaction, vulnerability and openness to a new musical experience that makes it all worth it for performers. That's the reward. It's not the acclaim of academics. People like yourself are inspiration to us. ❤ And many of us came from our own kinda gutters.. me, a tiny farm outside a tiny town. If my mom hadn't known how to play piano and taught lessons, I wouldn't had the opportunity to participate in classical music. You are every bit the king Pavarotti was for being vulnerable and opening yourself up to the beauty. That's a rare soul, and without people like you, we wouldn't have a reason to perform. YOU inspire the Pavarottis. That's power. Thank you so much for this. It's one more thing that's inspiring me to play piano again. Peace and blessings to you and yours!! ❤

"That was like heaven in my ears" - thank you for being so decent, sensitive and honest. May you live forever.

It’s truly heartwarming to see young people investigating classical music and appreciating it. So much of our modern music is inspired by it.

Yours is my favorite reaction to this amazing artist !! You "get it" !! This music speaks to the soul and Pavarotti hits you in the heart and soul every time. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for tearing up when listening to him , we all do. I've been listening to him for well over 30 years and this aria brings me to tears every time I hear and see it. Much respect man , I'm glad you took a chance and listened to this heavenly singer

I've never met an adult who never grew up with this kind of music that doesn't react with chills & tears. Luciano's voice is the closest thing to angelic voices and one can get on earth.

"angels singin in my ear" -- how lovely. You are not from the gutter!

If you feel it, let the tears flow. Never apologize for crying over wonderful music. That's the point!

I've been watching reactions to "Nessun dorma" for a couple of hours. To watch you come under the spell is just inspirational. You showed up in one of the reaction mash-ups and I had to track you down to watch the entire reaction. I think this is as close to heaven as I'm ever going to get. And please, don't apologize for your feelings and emotions. You are an inspiration.

What a wonderful reaction to Lucianno. So honest. He is is singing with the angels

My dude..... you didn't come from the gutter. Music is music, when it hits you---you feel no pain. Be proud of where you came from. Nothing but love brother.

If coming from the gutter produced you, then please, publish the location because a lot of people need to hang out there. The world needs more folks like you.

Having seen Pavarotti in concert in 1995, everything he has ever done has brought me to tears... one of my mothers favorites, he was truly an angelic voice, a balm for the soul!

being Italian, I grew up exposed to this type of music...and have always appreciated the skill and artistry of Pavarotti, his voice has forever left me in awe...so many singers are great, but not really even close to him. I am so, so pleased to see new listeners who have found Luciano and am especially overwhelmed with the passion, such as yours, JB for this new treasure you've discovered.The world of music is just opening up to you and your peers who have also opened your minds and hearts to all of the various and wonderful genres. For a real treat, Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown's collaboration of 'It'a a Man's World' is one to behold. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

You are loved ... You are a Child of God ... I can’t tell you how much your sincere spirit moved me to tears ... I’m just a KENTUCKY boy ... father of 4 ... teacher & coach ... nobody special... but people like you are a light in a dark world. THANK YOU for your shining bright spirit ... Shine on, my brother ... shine on

Pavarotti was 59 when he sang this, and I truly believe he saw God when he finished this song ❤️

Don't fight the tears. It's a sign that you have truly bonded with this. That's fantastic.

I love this. Don’t apologize, I’ve heard this aria 500 times and it makes me cry every time. Anything that brings you into contact with the best that human beings are capable of makes you a better man. Thanks for making this video.

"Heaven in my ears" - I can't think of a better way to describe it!

*_"My Spirit is Smiling Right Now..."_* What a wonderful sentence.

Plod on 2 here; I'm 78 and have seen Pavaroti Live . I'm English but lie in France. Yes, he is THE BEST and I'm i'm very impressed with your well spoken comments

A genuine heartfelt reaction. Never change young man! Made me like and subscribe

As an opera singer, so often I have heard people say to me, “ I dont like opera.” I ask them if they have ever been to,or heard an opera, and they say, “ well, no.” You have felt the power of this medium without knowing anything about it. It transcends everything.....You may have come from what you say is the, “ gutter,” but you ,my friend, have been blessed with ears to hear and a heart to grasp the beauty of this amazing voice.

good music has no language, don't speak a lick of Italian but this piece gives me the goosebumps.

This is what Nessun Dorma does to you. No matter where you come from, Pavarotti and Nessun Dorma goes straight into what makes us human.

This song and your reaction brought me to tears. He died shortly after singing this song.

I just wanted to say a couple things: I'm italian and I've been exposed to classical music since I was a little boy and I don't remember the first time I heard about Pavarotti it's something underlaying the coulture, so we are quite different (at least for how we grew up) but everytime I listen to this piece I feel exactly like you felt and my eyes get wet; and I think this is the most beautiful thing: music and art are universal and common to all human being and classical music in particular is able to bring the same intese emotions to everybody

And this is why the arts are so vital. WE have to keep and expand arts in ,education.

It's normal to cry hearing this man don't worry

That is a part of your soul being awoken and we got the priviledge of seeing it

“This is like angel singing in my ears” I felt exactly the same and shed tears even tho I don’t understand the language.....

The guts it takes to step out of your comfort zone, as he says, and let yourself try something new! "Let's continue to grow."

His voice is stunning. That’s what perfection sounds like. Keep going man, you sound like your worth saving 👍🤠

This is an example of music that changes your soul. Namaste.

Opera, classical music is meant to be felt, deep in the soul. If you ever have a chance to go to a symphony, do it. And sit close to the orchestra. You will feel the vibrations of the instruments through your entire body.

I was lucky enough to be invited on stage to give him roses after he performed this in my hometown. I was too young to realize the honor that I had been given

Pavarotti singing this is one of the most powerful arias, it's a classic for sure! EVERYtime I hear this one, I literally get goosebumps and misty eyed at the end! It never gets old! Lots of great, emotionally powerful opera pieces out there! Lots of great pieces as well that show great technical skill as well that will blow you away! Lily Pons singing the "Bell Song" aria from Lakmé (recording quality isn't great, but her voice is amazing!) And Edda Moser singing "Der Hölle Rache" as Queen of the Night in The Magical Flute (Mozart).

When I pass (and I'm 75 so...)and if there is a memorial service for me, I want Pavarotti's Nessum Dorma played for those attending. If they do not feel moved by this they didn't understand me. I've listened to Pavarotti for nearly 50 years, since I saw him in the first live opera ever broadcast from the Metropolitan in La Boheme. I am not a huge opera fan, but I fell. in love with his voice immediately and followed him for the rest of his life.

I am a 73 year old 'white' woman and have loved Pavarotti since I found him myself, got a poor persons seat once when he came to Denver and sat behind him in the bleachers but loved it- he waved at us as he left the stage. I just want to say that your appreciation of him and his voice and the 'angelic' sounds are just as beautiful to me as he is. Your sincere heartfelt response is absolutely beautiful. It's time this kind of experience was available to everyone to lift them and not just the wealthy who often do not appreciate as much as you did. Thanks for the whole thing- Ioved it.

"If this is what it's like when the heaven gates open you know I am going to do everything I can to make sure I go to heaven." I feel the same way JB. Thank you for your reaction.

Your face at 5:40. Watching someone have “that moment” of pure hope and love brought about by music. I’m so glad for you that you discovered this.

I cry whenever I hear it. Nessus Dorma means: let no one sleep. This song has those special notes known as emotional notes ( a drummer told me). Blessings upon your open heart.

Pavarotti belongs to everyone. He's a gift from heaven. The extraordinary beauty of Italian culture is enclosed in his voice, everyone should know him. I come from a completely different genre too, but growing up I started to appreciate Music with the capital M as well

Luciano is the GOLD STANDARD of operatic tenors. Truth, he is like angels singing in my ears too.

No need to apologize. I am a 75 year old white guy and I've listened to classical music all my life. I still get chills and tears in my eyes when I hear this song sung by a great tenor. This is where music can take us.

As Oscar Wilde said "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". And you Are a 🌟 Thank you for that wonderful reaction. Love from England xx

It's crazy how powerful this piece is for people like us who don't even speak the language.

Can you imagine being in that audience? Feeling the vibration of the orchestra and his voice vibrating through your body? I'd have probably pee'd my pants. If your soul doesn't zing a little upon hearing this, you might be dead. And I'm not all that fond of opera, just a few select pieces of which this is one. Good reaction, JB, Thanks! Namaste.

You didn't just hear it....you FELT it. Welcome to the wonderful world of music................any kind of music.

The greatest tenor of all time singing the greatest aria: perfection.
