Ah. Pol Pot. Took me a second.
A rather unfortunate name…
Why has nobody commented on the poor, dentally challenged chap’s singing?
I thought the potential is there. He has the voice, but I thought parts of his Nessun Dorma was shaky. Of course, it was still better than most of the stuff that one hears or sees on these shows so there. I also thought his choice to singing an Andrew Lloyd Webber was unfortunate…
Does the guy have a potential to become a great singer? Yes, if he doesn’t go off singing the crap Il Divo does. Is his singing NOW some of the best I’ve ever heard? The answer would be a no, by far.
Its one of the worst Nessun Dorma’s Ive heard, but still better than I would have expected to hear given the show.
I’m stupid. I was thinking “Pol Pot” all along. But didn’t connect the pun. Sigh.
The best part was watching Simon Cowell squirm in his seat, trying to think of something negative to say…but, alas, he was faced with a facet of music he knows nothing about, whether that be the piece or the style of singing.
