Title: Hype and publicity do not a musician make
Review: Although Watson's aim of bringing opera to the masses is a worthy cause,the fact remains that 'the Voice' is disappointing. Watson has never had formal training and it shows. His voice is often reedy, lacking the smooth velvet of the likes of Safina, Bocelli and even Groban. Some sustained notes feel strained and jumps from low to high often feel choppy and lack smoothness. A good collection of songs but somewhat poorly sung. The work of a karaoke amatuer, one would do better with the wonderful Alessandro Safina.
