I know I'm always debbie-downer but they are basically tenor opera style singers. Great? sure. Worthy of a year contract in Vegas? Doubt it. There isn't much room for this style on a national level. Sure you have a couple (Groban, Bocellli etc.) but it's real tough to make a strong show that would appeal to the limited audience for this music. Singers from the other shows (Idol, Voice etc.) have a chance due to the millions of people who listen to current pop music. Operatic style is too limited for a mass appeal.
Just my 2c.
But they were great last night.
