phishtaper Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Anyone here ever see him sing? I would have liked to have seen him, but I have a feeling I would have either been a bit bored or glued to the edge of my seat with a tingling spine. Hard to say.

I would have liked to have seen him, but I have a feeling I would have either been a bit bored or glued to the edge of my seat with a tingling spine. Hard to say.But is it live or is it Memorex? Wasn't Pavarotti plagued by claims of lip synching towards the end of his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 given how physical his singing style was, and how much he loved to sing, i'd be hard-pressed to believe any lip sync rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 given how physical his singing style was, and how much he loved to sing, i'd be hard-pressed to believe any lip sync rumours.I can't find anything on Wikipedia to support my claim, I just remember it being a bit of a big deal a few years ago, hence the question.I like panzerottis too timouse!

mister slippery Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 saw him in, IIRC, 1986, performing in Aida. It was one of the most magical moments in my life. RIP Luce, you will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
