I was looking on YouTube before and the amount of "RIP" comments on his videos per minute was interesting..

Oh, how I have always loved his Nessun Dorma... especially that last one at the Winter Olympics at Turino.

Thank goodness for modern recording techniques. He may be gone...but his genius will live forever.

Pavorotti dies and this is the best thread title you can come up with?
What about, "The Fat Lady's singing for Pav"
anyone else think of a better 1?

What a great voice. When I get home, we'll have to listen to a few of his albums for a tribute.

I saw this earlier. I have no flippant comments to make - I am saddened by the passing of beauty.
RIP. :(

Rest in Peace, Pavarotti. The loss of an Italian National Treasure.
He will be sorely missed by many worldwide.

Yes- he was a very talented artist with the ability and charisma to bring his art to masses that might not normally pay attention.

It will be a lifetime regret that I never saw Pavarotti in concert. A true master has passed.

I agree. I don't like opera but I saw a couple of his performances on TV and I will admit he had a fantastic voice.
RIP indeed.

Tragic as this undoubtedly is, there may be a positive side. If we can find a freezer large enough, all remaining cannibal tribes have just had their food supply problems solved for a generation.
What? Are you against recycling?

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.
We mark the passing of a talent of extraordinary scope. An artist of uncommon ability, with an uncanny capacity for blurring boundaries.

I keep wanting to make a dead parrot reference, but despite the assonance it just doesn't scan right.

Very much in line with his life, as well. I understand that this was one of his goals.

To make the world better by leaving it?
Goodnight, sweet, fat prince.
Truly a world class talent. Though not an opera fan myself, you have to respect that.
But there's a bright side to everything if you look hard enough...
I got 2 points in our office death pool for being the only one to pick him!

I am not an opera fan by any definition, but his voice... Nessun Dorma is pretty much the only opera I like, and he did it so beautifully. And believe you me, I am a pretty uncultured lout.
