Who Knows Best?.......2006-10-22

I feel a great necessity to point out to those "know-it-all" reviewers who denegrated this beautiful album, that BOTH Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavoratti know FAR MORE about opera talent and vocals than ANY OF YOU do! Try calling those two stupid for approaching Michael to sing with them. You obviously have some kind of axe to grind and apparently the grinding noise is interfering with your ability to hear properly. Michael Bolton is not only a great entertainer, talented musician and songwriter, he is a kind and generous and decent man who has given much back to the world with his numerous charitiable foundations, along with his timeless vocals. But don't take my word for it...ask Luciano and Placido....

Love it.......2006-02-03

I've got the whole darn catalogue!!!!!! With Michael, ya just can't go wrong.

You are missing the joke!.......2006-01-01

Why is ZERO STARS not an option here?
The music students and lovers of opera who have found Bolton's renditions of operatic favorites wanting are clearly missing the point. This is the ultimate party record, in which every selection rivals the caterwauling of Florence Foster Jenkins, or the bawling of Andrea Bocelli! Even the most inexperienced ears will surely hear the humor here. Opera lovers will first wince and then end up laughing at the absurdity, the sheer awfulness, the witless grotesqueness. Where is Simon Cowell when we really need him?!
If Michael thinks that he can justify this attack on the world of opera simply because he has a "secret passion" for operatic chestnuts, let us hope that he never develops a secret passion for heart surgery, nuclear weapons, or fighter jet manoeuvers!
He did not fool us with that "hair" and he is not fooling us with this "singing"!
Those fans who actually contend that they enjoy Bolton's pop crooning, delivering bad but calculating imitations of great singers of the recent past, are more to be pitied than critiqued. They deserve a good laugh.

SPECTACULAR.......2004-09-05

Michael Bolton has gone classical -- and record buyers have responded by catapulting "My Secret Passion" to # 1.
This is the first time that a male pop vocalist has hit # 1 on the Traditional Classical chart for 6 weeks.
Inspired by his experiences singing in concerts with Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, Bolton sings in Italien and French on the recording. Ten great tenor arias are featured on the album, as well as a duet from "La Boheme" with world-renowned soprano Renee Fleming.
No matter what type of music Michael Bolton does, I`m never disappponted. He can sing anything and sing it brilliantly....from blues, rock, pop, old standards and even opera! No many singers could claim that.
Thanks Michael.....I own every one of your albums, and this one will always have a special place in that collection.
