I can remember telling many people for the first he was blind after they had already told me they liked him, or had bought his CD, etc. And have you seen Montserrat Cabalet singing? What could be attractive in her image? Or the 3 Tenors? I think what people like is Bocelli's italianated operatic-ish hehe ) way of singing romantic songs. It's this cheesy romantic atmosphere that Italians are so good at.In Charlotte, her angelical voice and relaxing repertoire. Can you remember when some years ago those monks became pop stars with that Gregorian chants CD? And that's original stuff, not fabricated. I think that explains their success much better than 'image' only.

Sure it is. "Look at that courageous blind guy. Isn't he great? And he's BLIND!" Ask 90% of his fan base what they know about him and they'll tell you he's the blind guy who sings opera.
