Query: Woefully inadequate performances

Some people may find Russell Watson's singing to be terrifc; I just found it terrible!As can be plainly heard on this cd, Russell Watson's poorly trained (untrained?) voice cannot cope with the demands of the music. In many cases, he has to resort to breaking up long phrases in order to survive. His high notes are a trial every time, and he misses out on many of the more subtle elements of the music. In fact, even the timbre of Watson's voice isn't at all pleasant and he doesn't appear to be a very sensitive artist.As a result, his woefully inadequate performances fail to bring any pleasure to me. In fact, this cd contains some of the worst singing that I've ever heard.I cannot recommend such a recording to anyone.
