Movies, Television, Streaming

I just started “Unbelievable” last night. Watched 2 episodes so far and it IS very good!

@nvwino –

I had never considered that!  I did think she looked very relaxed with her breathing, but yes, those songs are heavy duty.

One of the things I have noticed on talent shows is that when someone launches into Nessun Dorma or I Dreamed a Dream, the judges and a lot of the audience wait to see how those high notes go before they relax…[Read more]
