That is the thing with Pavarotti - the critics have always picked on him but he communicated the love he had for the songs to the audience directly and better than anyone else.
And he was one of those characters who is SO Italian in all its wonderful, comical, ridiculous and profoundly sincere manifestations.

In 3 Tenors I was more impressed over the fact that Pavarotti could sing with such ease and Carreras and Domingo seemed to work so hard.
A chance to hear them side by side in the same song was neat in my opinion, but yes, I can see how it would be cheesy from a purist point of view. Being a casual listener and not a purist I found it very entertaining as I would imagine many other casual listeners would.
