This past Sunday, I was driving a few of my friends into the Valley for some sushi (one of the only reasons you should ever find yourself in the Valley), and as I was about to make my way to the 101, I realized that I was going to be stuck in traffic. Yes, there was a concert at the Hollywood Bowl and I was going to have to delay that albacore belly and unagi until they waved by what seemed like a thousand tour buses into the parking area. What was causing all the trouble? It was a TVgasm just waiting to happen! Reader SH writes:
I was out last night in Hollywood at the Andrea Bocelli concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Because he was on American Idol this last season, I assume he invited Katherine McPhee up to sing with him. That, in itself, was not that memorable.[ed note: reader SH has good taste] What was a true tvgasm was when none other than Donald Trump came out to present Mr. Bocelli with a platinum album. 2 reality TV stars in a crossover for the price of 1!
That's a lot of excitement for one nithg. The only thing that could have made it better would have been Probst and Phil singing backup.
Comments
My Mom's scared of Andrea Bocelli, so of course I spontaneously impersonate him at every opportunity to terrorize her. I can literally make her run from the room. Drinking helps.
I have a friend who's a professional opera singer, and he's utterly amazed this guy is past the street-performing bum level. His voice is so weak, and those orchestrations are so John Tesh. My father used to say, "You can never underestimate the taste of the American people." I think Andrea's success is proof of that adage.

I hope The Donald danced. He could headline his own concert with that jig of his.

Now if Trump would just pay off his bank loans instead of defaulting on them always.

Could you find a less flattering picture of Andrea Bocelli?

I still love Andrea Boccelli. I'd go see him in concert and weep with all the FUPA-bearing old ladies. There is no shame in admitting that his music moves me b/c it does. Think about it- if some guy knew that sitting through his music for 2 hours would get his date in the mood for a marathon sex session- wouldn't it be worth it?

ullll, I totally agree with holyterror. He is so not a "real" opera singer. It annoys the hell out of me. Same with Il Divo and on a lesser note, Josh Groban. If your voice has vibrato, it doesn't make you "opera."
