Being a nice guy doesn't make you better at your job, unless you are a Wal-Mart greeter or work at DisneyWorld. Maybe next time Steve decides to sell his soul to Corporate America, he'll think twice. He made the choice to work with ESPN, so please don't make excuses for him. Harrison,

I understand if you find the advertisement silly, but there is no way that you can say Opera Steve is not a talented musician. Have you seen him perform? Have you been in a room with him while he is singing? No. I know him personally and have performed with him and can tell you he is an incredibly talented singer. Trash ESPN, but not Opera Steve. Also, he is probably the nicest person I have ever met. What Opera Steve had to sing is not at all in his control, but instead a choice of ESPN.

I am thankful I do not have to hear him sing "Clemson Tigers" one more time. Opera Steve and basketball do not mix. I am thankful I do not have to hear him sing “Clemson Tigers” one more time.

I stick by my assessment that this was a horrible idea and brought nothing but a constant and steady pulse of irritation and pain similiar to that of electric shock treatment. The only difference being that when it was over I wasn't better. Thanks everyone for the comments.

I laughed at how unnecessary he was. He repeated himself and had nothing to sing about and at one time he talked about freedom...WTF? F*** Opera Steve! I laughed at how unnecessary he was.

I thought that the intro segments added an interesting mix of class and popular culture to the tournament! And most people, I believe, would recognize that the guy has an amazing voice. I, for one, loved the intro segments. In fact I've been hopeful that Opera Steve will be part of the event in the future. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. And I, for one, am of the opinion that you missed the mark on this one. I have to completely disagree with you!

He's just a talented guy looking for a way to break into the industry. Don't make it harder for him. Nobody is telling you that your blog is the most appalling, ludicrous, and idiotic blog in the history of the world, so just lay off. You need to chill out.

You have no basis, however, to suggest that Opera Steve is not a talented musician. He happens to be an incredibly gifted classical musician and a successful rap artist.
