At the 1998 Grammys PAVAROTTI was to perform Nessun dorma, but his Doctors said no, he was in no fit state.
The Producers went to ARETHA FRANKLINs dressing room & after listening to a tape of a rehearsal just once, she went on stage & did THIS.

It is usually impossible for most vocalists, even talented ones, to switch genres.
And almost impossible for pop stars to sing opera.
Can't listen to this without tearing up.
