Perfection and Levitation

So, I was thinking...What makes Pavarotti so great?
Cause he is great, in case you were wondering.
Anyways, I came to this conclusion -

Pavarotti is great because when you (or least when I) listen to him, I have absolute confidence in him.
Does the man ever hit a bad note? Granted his voice has gone a little downhill the last few years, but seriously people...when you hear Pavarotti, you KNOW it's Pavarotti.

And really, saying that you have absolute confidence in someone is a big deal.
For instance, I don't have that same kind of absolute confidence in Roberto. He has been known to hit a bad note or two. However, no one can match his ability to cause you (or least ME *grin*) to practically levitate when he hits a good note.
Pavarotti may inspire absolute confidence, but he doesn't necessarily cause levitation.

Which proves that technical perfection isn't enough.
Another example would be Anthony Warlow and Michael.
Anthony may be technically perfect, but Michael brings about the levitation.

In closing, I would just like to say that the Celtic Tenors stink.
Adios, mis amigos.
