Dave Matthews Meets Opera

This has to be one of the best covers I've ever heard... It's an opera singer covering Dave Matthews' song "#41" (singing and playing piano) while rehearsing for a recording, and they caught it on tape. Dave Matthews fans and fans of beautiful music altogether will absolutely love this... thank me later guys...

You don't see too many opera singers covering non-opera songs... what's everyone think?

Many of the younger (more attractive?) opera singers dabble with pop music. I saw Danielle de Niese singing in a very good soul voice with Mika recently. However I find as both an opera and rock fan that the range of an operatic soprano is a little high for pop, and this video illustrates it somewhat.
