Three opera performances of Nessun Dorma, what's your opinion?

Three versions, three amazing voices:

Luciano Pavarotti (Italy, 1935-2007)

Jussi Björling (Sweden, 1911-1960)
http://www.youtube.com/wa...1D&index=5

Franco Corelli (Italy, 1921-2003)
http://www.youtube.com/wa...1D&index=6

I liked all the three version. Hadn't heard Corelli's version before, so thanks for posting that. My favorite is still Pavarotti's version though smile
His singing is just so effortless in a way, it's amazing.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Three great versions. Pavarotti's voice seems really effortless, Björling's voice is extremly powerful and Corelli has a charismatic stage presence.

- My favorite is the second one but that may just be because it's the recorded version; "Nessun Dorma" is just a beautiful song in general

do you by any chance happen to know the song that plays during one of the pasta commercials? it's an opera song
