I'm not a huge opera fan but this particular tune is one of my favorites. When I heard the intro I knew this fellow had set himself up for a real challenge. He did an outstanding job with it. It's encouraging to see someone take a huge chance like that and succeed.

...We have a talentless idiot who "beat boxes", and butchers decent songs Rolling Eyes Embarassed all the way to the finals, and then loses to a tubby 17 year old girl that spends just as much time in McDonalds as she does training her voice...They have a truly gifted operatic master winning their show that could easily become a world famous tenor, if he hasn't already. Hmmmm. Not that I agree with the stereotypical, and snobbish euroPEON view that we Americans are un-cultured brutes, but this scenario, unfortunately, does give credence to that argument somewhat Embarassed Embarassed .

Gino, you obviously don't know talent. Maybe thats why you are so lacking in that department.


You need to come back to the band, I'm having a witty back up.

****..."Im having a witty back up.." Is that some sort of new Pilate or something, genius? Or did you mean, .."I MISS having a witty back up.." Grammar, it's not just for kids anymore Embarassed Embarassed Razz


...You may very well get your wish, oh sarcastic and caustic one Shocked Very Happy . It's looking more and more like the grand opening of our restaurant will be sometime in February, that should allow for your "witty back-up" to be in Orlando this coming January, and the practices to prelude the contest. So stop your obsessive longing, sobbing, kvetching, and moaning - the coolest guy you know will be back at practice soon enough....Be careful what you wish for Razor... Wink


...P.S Butter Boy says hello, and sends his warmest Thanksgiving wishes (from his rightful place next to the sewing machine) to the entire Taylor/Brinton clan... Laughing Laughing Laughing

Hm, Are we getting another new player?

And what I mean you doofus is that I'm having a build up of witty attacks, because you aren't there to insult, and I would feel guilty attacking kind people like Kane, or holly, or even Boom Boom.
