I heard " The Voice" on Radio, I thought WHO is that ??? Did some research, liked what I read & saw, I was HOOKED,1st saw Russell live in 2002 TWICE, & been to 4 other Concerts. Lucky enough to meet him Twice, & what you see is what you get.
A wonderful performer with A Voice that takes you to another Planet (Planet Watson) A sense of Humour, and Very Handsome ( Oh those eyes !! Rolling Eyes

)
Hope "This Site" goes from Strength to Strength.

I was walking past a music store and heard this wonderful voice drifting out through the door.It stopped me in my tracks.I followed the music just like the pied piper and bought "The Voice"CD without hearing any other tracks.He was singing Non Ti Scordar Di Me.I knew that he was something special.

I... don't know. Embarassed

I randomly bought Reprise, I don't know what made me buy it. Not for the life of me can I remember.

Didn't like it that much... bought Encore because I saw it for ¬£1.50 in a shop. Bought Amore Musica but there was no arias on it and THEN and only THEN was I hooked. I bought my final album, The Voice, the other day and its fast becoming my favourite, even over Amore Musica.

The Voice is wonderful got me hooked on Russell straight away. Such excitment when he had a new album coming out, I just couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I love the arias on album 2 and 3. Then Amore Musica was released and for me that is the one that I now play the most, every song has so much passion and so much pure voice from Russell. I can feel so much coming from his heart, that album for me is Russell at his best.

A couple of my friends gave me THE VOICE for my birthday when it was released. One of these friends had seen Russell on GMA and thought I might like to have the CD as I am originally from the UK. Support for a compatriot and all that ! She was right - been hooked ever since - and have seen him three times in concert - wonderful. Twice in the UK (long flight but well worth it) and then in NY last October. Nella Fantasia was the first song I heard Russell sing and it has been very special to me ever since - just love it. Cool

I love them all but I think The Voice is the one I listen to most and I watch Russell Watson Live (the New Zealand concert at least once a week) I wish there were more DVD's..........I sure hope he comes to Canada so I can see him............ Lindy

Why do I get a feeling thar Russel is based more in NZ? Is this true? (I'm a new fan of Russell by the way so I know nothing, not even his age).
