Dividing by zero

Continuing my efforts to bring culture to the unwashed masses of LJ (with my usual twists, mind you), I bring you Jacques Snyman singing an (unknown to me) operatic piece. Many of you would appreciate the apparently intentional wardrobe malfunction.



That incongruous feeling in your brain after watching this are its attempts to reboot.

Any feelings further south is y'all's business. ;-)

Incongruous - that body with that voice, though both very nice. To see someone that stunningly burly (apparently the wardrobe functions precisely as intended) willing to put the effort into delivering an aria probably written for an 18th century castrato suggests a certain level of bravery worthy of both fascination and respect. Possibly, YouTube is the perfect venue for this.
I can always do with more culture, however it arrives.

I absolutely live for this sort of thing. An amazing talent he has, plus willing to showcase it to people and keep alive centuries-old music, what's not to love?

While I don't tend to watch TV talent shows, I do enjoy when someone manages to sing their way out of preconceived perceptions of them. The reactions from audiences and judges falling right in with my own amazement is wonderful. Such folk deserve to be recognized for the talents, despite the outer wrapper (or because of it, as the case may be).
