• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Caruso Vs. Potts

I know! Not FS related at all, but I know many who log on here are of Great Britain.

I just want to extend 'Major Kudos' to Great Britain on finally attaining a Superior Operatic Tenor Voice in the form of Paul Potts.

I heard the finale of 'Britain has Talent'. I was so moved, that I rushed to synch it to my favorite Enrico Caruso version (1909) of 'Puccini's Turandot: Nessun dorma', one of my favorite Operatic Pieces. I synched By Stanza BTW.

Caruso's version is a bit more warbly, by that I mean a warble in the voice that most modern American singers seem to think passes for actual singing (I hate when American singers warble >.<), but Caruso invented it! ;)

Potts does not...He sings it pure and every bit in audio-sync and Pitch with Caruso! I LOVED It!

I got chills, and in the final stanza, "Vincerò!", "Vincerò!", "I will Win!", "I will Win!", tears...

Well Done Great Britain!

P.S. Did anyone see Simon Cowell, pulling on his ear as if he were distracted? Nope, He is fully opening his ear canal to hear the pitch perfectly. ;) I did the same...it's not often that Caruso is sucessfully challenged.

BRAVO, Mr. Potts, BRAVO!

I've really enjoyed this story. A great example of what can happen when you believe in your self.

OT, but worthy :)
 
Well, I have to say I followed that show on youtube (what a blessing this site can be :D ) and was fascinated by the star of the show (more by Simon than by Paul to be honest). Ok, it's TV and roumor has it that they knew from the beginning who would win the show, but anyway.

The interesting thing about it: I never expected a thread about this here at fsdeveloper.com. :eek: :D
