I recently saw a video of Pavarotti singing the Verdi Requiem in the sixties, which is amazing. But what he's doing now is horrible, his voice has become a pure caricature of itself, and the pretentious commercial bullshit he's been doing lately doesn't really help to change that image. So I guess I like Domingo most, although I'm not a big fan either. I hate to see that apparently the definition of a lyrical tenor today is something like "a voice that burns your ears and makes even mozart sound like puccini".

Placido Domingo has a passion
different to Pavarotti
although I prefer Andrea Bocelli
Luciano Pavarotti
Placido Domingo is much nicer. Luciano Pavarotti has a huge ego and is extremely rude to people.

Pavarotti every time...If you were to go down in a plane crash in the Andes - you could survive on Luciano for months...
That is the way I judge everyone though
Everyone's different
Pavarotti because he IS Pavarotti. What an excellent voice. I love the way that it flawlessly carries. Also, I have no idea who Domingo is.
Pavarotti. Though I preffer Andrea Boccelli
Placido. He seems friendlier.
Pavarotti...because I don't know the other guy.
As Tim Allen dubbed them "Paparazzi, Manicotti and Flamingo." Classic...
