Jan 7, 2011 - @sambenimble I just find it peculiar that listeners from France generally compliment his pronunciation, while others knock him for it. And if people use this as a reference -- with all the things to learn from Kraus, French should not even be on the list :)

Feb 4, 2011 - His enunciation of french is not bad, however he sang some of the text incorrectly. With that being said, EVERY SINGER in the world throughout history has had blunders. Kraus is a Giant!

Jul 16, 2011 - his pronunciation is terrible. His voice makes up for it tho
Nello7 Says:
Jul 18, 2011 - He totally butchers the lyrics. I actually have no idea why he chose to sing this without knowing the text. It was a very "polite" clap that they gave to him afterward.... I have heard far worse pronunciation of the language.
