Why hasn't he done Opera either??? Maybe he just does "Popera". I am still wondering

maybe he just doesn't want to do it. it's a rough and demanding schedule. he might not be up to that yet.

It takes more than a pretty singing voice to do opera. You have to be able to project and be heard without a microphone.

And no way would Josh be able to sing those tenor parts he loves so dearly.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

gorgeous voice...can't handle opera. his range his strange (rhyme!! lol) he can't sing the traditional baritone because he can't go traditionally low and he is not a tenor...i like him where he is..good enough for me

All that you say, Dibbledl01, AND he is doing so well with his semi-pop career that he probably doesn't want to chance trying a musical, which would take a big chunk of time out of what he is doing now.

I think you are probably right in that he enjoys what he is doing right now. He is more or less in charge of his own career. He can pick the concert dates and appearances to fit himeself and not others. A jump into musical theatre would mean he would be at the mercy of others and the demand might be too great for him. While he tours a lot, he doesn't do that many performances per week. And we all know how strenuous muscial theatre can be.

Meh.
So not good. And I love how they reverbed "to beeeee" to hell and back in an attempt to squash an obvious inability to hit that note.
