I just found this guy on I-Tunes, his name is David Ask. He's a classical trained tenor, and is doing things along the lines of Andrea Bocelli.

His new CD, Breakthrough, has a version of Open Arms in Italian.

There has been more than enough talk about Journey remakes on this board, and I have stood clear of most of it. But I honestly have to say, that this guy does a beautiful job with the song, taking it to a whole different level.

His CD is available on ITunes.

The youtube link is the actual recording session of OA.

You can't even understand it. It's like those Italians have a different word for everything. :twisted:
