The Billlboard Latin Music Awards will honor the freshly-hitched Andrea Bocelli at a ceremony on April 24. The Italian tenor will get the Lifetime Achievement Award. So, what do we all think about the prospect?
That Bocelli is phemoemally popular around the world is beyond doubt. That his voice is fairly dry, his technique imperfect and his artistry erratic and, at times, a bit clumsy should also be beyond doubt to anyone who really knows voices. The reason why this award is especially interesting is that it's not a classical award--it doesn't seek to put Bocelli up with truly great operatic tenors--in fact, it puts him in company with the likes of Santana.
