Nessun Dorma by David Phelps
- David Phelps sings it better and is the best tenor alive in my opinion. In his opinion, it was Pavarotti.

Old men and geeks!
- I like the version by that guy from the metal band ManOWar. Polished technique, but more importantly he brings the passion and slightly hormone crazed madness of love at first sight to Nessun Dorma- a quality sorely lacking in bored old opera singers and geeky guys. Puccini wrote for the rock stars of his day; Calaf was never an old man in need of Viagra! It's an aria for the young who can still access the roller coaster ride! I would have loved to hear Freddie Mercury sing this. An Extraordinary voice, tenor with a four octave range. And an unequaled incandescence on stage! Too bad.... In '86 He had the sheer power and a harmonic quality that's rare and astonishing. But I vote for the Heavy Metal Guy. Go search on You Tube.

David Phelps
- Hands down, David Phelps completely owns this aria. I've heard others try, and they do well...but I've heard David sing this live. Just, wow. Utterly amazing.

Paul Potts
- I think his interpretation is strong and perfect. The voice is not as high pitched as Pavaroti's, but is much more appropiate for the scene.

David Phelps
- David Phelps envokes all the compassion, heart and and voice that Nessun Dorma demands. His performance is by far the best I have ever heard. God bless you David ~ such a wonderful gift He has given you.

Nessum Dorma best ever
- Best EVER is David Phelps. Known by many as a Christian singer and for the Gaither Vocal Band, his years if classical training shine when he performs this song. His version will make you want for more classical music. Take a listen and see if you don't agree

Andrea Bocelli
- If you haven't heard Bocelli's goose bump version recorded live at Central Park, you have a treat ahead of you. Evanco and Katherine Jenkins also have fine versions. Pavarotti and Bocelli are in a class of their own.

nessun dorma
- Earlier I posted a response for the best Nessun Dorma performer...it was Andrea Bocelli. I stated that he had Pavarotti beat hands down. I would like now to add a comment not about his voice but about his presence and the person he projects. This man who depends on others to physically guide his steps exhibits much humility and courage. I see him as a great gift to the world not only for his voice but for the example of that strength, courage and humility he gives to us all!
