Bocelli may have a sweet voice, but he was never a classical musician. To quote my friend’s words, “blind singer for deaf people.” Please, let’s stop the hype.
What a terrible thing to say about Andrea Bocelli.
Just think yourself lucky that you are not blind, ignorant yes
I admired Boceli and I bought his album( every albums ).And of course my favourite song is “time to say goodbye”.
Boceli,you have such a sweet,beautifly and extraordinary talent & voice.
And no matter what some people said that you’re blind singer. Yes,you’re blind singer. But that made you so special than another singer.
For me,you’re my idol.
No one knows better than Bocelli himself (as he acknowledged in many interviews) that his success is based exclusively on the quality of his voice, and that he was never capable of understanding and learning the subtleties of fine singing. If his fans don’t mind that, good for him!
What a shame that some little humans need to hurt others with their ignorance. the greatnest of manking is not their bigotry but the gifted ones like Andrea who is willing to share the gift given to him with all of us including the blind of spirit!!
As though a couple of years of conservatory and fearful pondering is going to somehow qualify you to determine what is ‘fine’ and what is ‘art’. Only an ass would make statements like the above. The reason why great people are often tough around the edges is because they are real. People contained in books and academics appear so ideal because you haven’t seen the real life of them–nor do you want to–and you won’t start seeing that in your ‘fine circles’ either. Heart that surpasses your dusty technique is what you don’t understand. So in the great song of life, you were just stuttering and clearing you throat, while a son of Tuscany shaped the clouds with angelic voice while believing in the sun.
I have had the opportunity to have met Andrea in San Antonio after his Cavaliera Rusticana performance,
And i was blown away with his voice. It was like it was god was singing to me! It was Andrea Bocelli! ~Bravo Andrea! shake those haters off your back!
Your just jealous
hahahhahahaha.
But really, he has a beautiful voice.
I would like to know how someone with the obvious lack of even an iota of class feels qualified to judge not only classical music, but also the tastes of others who enjoy fine art when they encounter it.
Sam, You’re an idiot.
OMG, Sam! What would possess you to spout such garbage? Andrea Bocelli has one of the greatest voices of anyone – physically blind or not.
Man, you must be tone deaf or something. Then again, perhaps you just need to grow up.
Useful as it is, the Net often gets a bad rap because of posts like yours. Next time try to put your brain in gear before posting. Okay? Sheesh…
(Don’t even try stating that you were just expressing an opinion. You aim was clearly to be as nasty as possible.)
SAM IS THE ONE (SUB) HUMAN WHO HAS FIT THE DEAF AND DUMB TERM, COMPLIT!
I have fallen in love with Andrea Bocelli’s voice. The ‘Lords Prayer’ brings tears to my eyes. Being blind has nothing to do with his God given talent.
Sam, look up “idiot” in the dictionary, if you have one! Explains all.
Was blessed to see Andrea Bocelli in concert! Breathtaking voice! We are all blessed in one way or another, congratulations you have been blessed with a magnificent voice. Thank you for all your wonderful albums.
Andrea has one of most Magnificent voices of our time. He will onday gain the Status of one of the greatest singers of all time.
sam u are as dumb as they come dont know ass from hole in ground
I heard Andrea for the first time on a pbs. station. His voice ws the most beautiful I have ever heard. I bought his cd of My Christmas so I can hear him when I want. Blind or not he has a majestic voice.
SAM: You are stone deaf to good music. Do you really expect to have all good singers sing rap? In my opinion, Rap music is what makes our future generation deaf,and results in a waste of time and harmful to our ears. It takes good voices to make good music. It is obvious from you comment, that you are not one of them.
me e la mia famiglia sono un grande fan di voi Bocelli Andrea sei un cantante awsome buona e salutare per noi elmo dalla famiglia Canuto
A blind singer for deaf people best describes this inept alleged singer.
Those who applaud his terrible, downbeat voice obviously haven’t been delighted by the TRUE tenor masters: Pavarotti, Giuseppe di Stefano, Jusi Bjorling to name just a few infinitely superior to this fraud.
Yeah, he’s famous because he is blind, because of one hit sone Time to Say goodbye. But that is where it begins and ends.
if you dont think bocelli is awesome then get your head out of your ass.
you could never be anything like him or near what he is
so shut up.
your dumb.
