i love, love, love his tember:))))))))!!! i loooove the color of his voice and his whole stage presence it's so natural and expressive but not pompous like so many opera singers, as if he genuinely enjoys and plays with every action... soooo wonderful to have watched him live at the Met, in Lucia - where heard him for the first time, not knowing who he was, his voice sounded like it was going to break down crying , yet soooo controlled.. bravo ,Rolando ,it's so much FUN listening to you:)!!!

Such a wonderful version of "Smile "by Rolando Vilazon & Hayley Westenra. Yes indeed Charlie Chaplin was a wonderful song writer too! I am a fan of Charlie Chaplin too and wrote a song called Charlie Chaplin if you might like to pull it up. I been listening to Rolando for years. He has such a well trained voice that really is magnificent! I must admit Hayley is a new artist for me and I enjoy her singing and stage presence very much! 😀❤

The words to this song were ony written in English. You may be thinking of Nella Fantasia which uses the same soundtrack of Gabriels's Oboe from The Mission. Ennio Morricone had no involvement with the Nella Fantasia lyrics but colaborated with Hayley on Whispers in a Dream. Hayley wrote the lyrics.

The solo performances were very good, but the duet was amazing. I thought their voices went very well together! It's just such a shame that Rolando drowns her out for a bit of it - opera singer with classical/cross-over singer, it would happen.

Rolando Villazon and Hayley Westenra together is not a good mix. There separate solos are wonderful. Truth is you have to relate to someone on a spiritual level to perform with them.

@birdyairpower5004 8 жыл бұрын

Well, this was quite a shock and disappointment Hayley Westenra can't sing, needs some lessons her voice is weak and thin lacking musicality, his is dynamic full of power and rich tones. What a terrible combination, his voice makes her's sound pathetic, I can't believe someone thought of putting these two together.

@johnbethell1952 8 жыл бұрын

+Birdy Airpower you have no knowledge of Haley George Martin and many others have said she is one of the purest voices out there she is not an Opera voice and does not claim to be you are probably an Opera snob who hates anything in the classical crossover genre

@birdyairpower5004 8 жыл бұрын

I have many CDs of Haley and have seen her in concert. I meant they were unevenly matched as his voice drowns out hers. He is an operatic tenor and as such must have great power.
