david,
your right. unlike farrell and kollo (the only two famous opera
singers i have ever heard sing pop or jazz credibly), bocelli and migenes do
something that is more of a hybrid. so, i suppose it would be then unfair
to judge them by either style they are hybrid of (just as one wouldn't judge
a bass-baritone by bass or baritone standards).
