Title: Simply not good enough!
Review: Of course, Russell Watson cannot (and should not) be compared to classically trained singers. However, I don't think he's in the same league as genuine cross-over singers like Andrea Bocelli, Alessandra Safina or Mario Lanza, the reason being that Russell Watson has a far weaker voice than these singers and his singing is also less emotionally true or vivid. Thus, without considering about all those technical points or whether or not Russell Watson can perform classical arias, I would merely say that his singing here has left much to be desired. It is simply not competitive enough in an already well-occupied field.
