they use commercial recording artists to record opera-style music? I mean,
geesh! There's a TON of talent out there that could have done this SO much
better! I mean no disrespect to the singers in these commercials - but they
should stick to what they are good at. >>

Hey, a friend of mine and her ex were both hired to do a commercial for Festa
Italiana last year and asked to sing like opera singers.... neither of them
are. Every time they ran thru it, the client kept saying, no, that's not it
... Finally, Becky did an over-the-top, exaggerated, screamundo kind of sound
and the client went, "Yes, that's I want!!"

ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH...... BTW, Becky hated hearing it on the radio; she has
taste!!
