Placido Domingo On Pop Singers And Karaoke

by NPR Music | October 20, 2012

Placido Domingo is one of the most influential people in classical music. During a 50-year career, he's played more than 140 roles, conducted more than 450 operas, and won just about every award that a human being can win in opera and life.

Domingo has a new album of solo songs and duets with other singers, whose names might surprise you. Take, for example, his version of Shania Twain's "From This Moment On" — a duet with Susan Boyle.

"It was wonderful, first, to discover her," Domingo says. "On these live television programs, sometimes I don't like the way some of the artists are treated. But the talent that comes out is, no doubt, great. You see somebody that is completely unknown, and all of a sudden you hear this sound like an angel."

Domingo's new album is called, simply, Songs. It features guest spots from singers such as Josh Groban, Harry Connick Jr., and Domingo's own son, Placido Domingo Jr. Here, he sits down with NPR's Scott Simon to discuss choosing duet partners, switching from tenor to baritone roles, and singing karaoke at family gatherings.

I personally liked this version. And actually this is kind of an acknowledgement. And if other stars sing her songs they will live longer. Otherwise, once Shania's career is over, her songs will be forgotten. She has written a lot of great songs. May at least some of them go on longer.

What a HORRIFIC version of this song! Susan Boyle is the worst thing ever (sounds like a 13 year old girl in choir), and Domingo should stick to Opera. This really proves that no one can sing Shania's songs well. Go back and listen to the original and listen to how amazing Shania sounds.

That is all

I see nothing wrong with this version at all.
It actually sounds very good.
Of course the orginal song is the one everyone will remember and love because it is Shania's song and her voice
But I thought Susan did a very good job on her take of the song.
