“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”

A loud voice cannot compete with a clear voice, even if it's a whisper.
I don't particularly know why, but I think a nice follow-up to last night's post about attractive fictional blokes would be blogging about chaps with heavenly voices. So that's what I have decided to do.
In no particular order:
1. Alan Rickman
2. Geoffrey Rush (I only chose this vid coz it had the piratical melodies of Rush's Barbossa voice - I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing owing to the intensely melodramatic soundtrack...)
3. Jeremy Irons
4. Morgan Freeman (surprise, surprise! An American!)
5. John Cleese
6. Christopher Lee
And now some singers because they have to have to-die-for voices
1. Michael Buble
2. Russell Watson
3. Pavarotti
4. Nat King Cole
You'll have to look up some songs yourself I'm afraid - I've completely lost patience with the slowness of youtube on this computer... but recommedations include 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters', by Watson, 'Feeling Good' by Buble, I can't remember the dashed Italian name of my favourite Pavarotti, 'When I Fall In Love' by Nat King Cole... I have dozens of other singers and songs that I could rave about, but now I think I shall collapse on my bed and drift into dreamland on the lissome tones of my favourite crooners.
Oh, and here's something totally stupid and random. But it has two lovely voices in it so here we go: (don't bother watching to the end, the stupidity gets distracting)
