i think he sings the way he intends to. in his 'pop' songs, it would be less appealing, to most of his fans if, he sang them like i think you are suggesting he should.

about a year ago, i downloaded about eight different versions of 'di quella pira'. the standard by which i judge all versions of that aria is franco corelli's recording. surprisingly, bocelli came in second followed by bonisolli and del monaco (zucker would be shocked). in his singing of this aria, his technique was different and very appropriate to this aria. it is obvious to me that bocelli believes that there is more than one approach to singing.
