I'm really posting because I want to know the name of that famous opera piece. What is it?

Should have took the blue key, at the end of the day, it's still a Kia.

Exactly. But with my luck, the blue key would have been to a Daewoo or something made by Chrysler.

The king of Nessun Dorma, the late great Luciano Pavarotti:

Thank you. It should be a bannable offense to post Paul Potts when referencing Nessun Dorma.

paul potts makes opera relatable to us mere mortals.

You're welcome. Luciano Pavarotti was and always will be one of the greatest tenors, along with Andrea Bocelli.

I doubt I ever buy a Kia, but I loved the commercial. And don't be hatin' on Paul Potts.

 

[andylawcc]

it seems weird to see Laurence Fishburne do comedy (yes yes, I know he was in PeeWee Herman show)

anyway, kudos to him and that commerical, one of the best one.

 

[phucheneh]

What the fuck happened to Laurence Fishburne's teeth?

Also I think that song was in Goon. I was getting visuals of bloody face-splatter during that commercial.

nessun dorma from turandot.
the giveaway hint was "nessun dorma" being spoken in the lyrics.

Paul Pott's performances of Nessun Dorma are pretty terrible, IMO. His voice is fine, someone needs to teach him how to pronounce the words however. Even Pavarotti's performances as his health failed him (and he lip synced at Torino) were better than Paul Pott's best.

If anyone can listen to Pavarotti's rendition of Vesti la Giubba and not be moved, you're a little dead inside.

I don't like the k900, but I would definitely consider test driving the new Genesis if I were in market for luxury ride.

Kia needs to change their name. They're actually making pretty decent cars now (the Optima is actually really sharp), but they're never going to get over their crappy eco-box image.

Same with Hyundai.

Different company.

JHC OP--it's basically the most overplayed opera piece anywhere.


anyhoo....a Kia luxury car? 😀

Hyundai is further along in reputation, though. IIRC, the 10 and 15 year data on their primary vehicles show great drive train and all that.

Different company.

See! the Genesis is generally well-regarded, no?

I don't know, I always preferred the other guy. :\
