    Juan Diego wins — he’s got decolletage.

    • PirateJenny says:

      Colin Firth, plunging into the lake in Pride and Prejudice, wins for now and evermore amen.

      • WindyCityOperaman says:

        Appropos Colin’s wonderful oscar-nominated (even though he should have won in my book) performance in “A Single Man” out on DVD this week. Please see it if you haven’t already!

      Juan Diego’s got EHHverything… just wanna put him in my pocket and take him home.

  • jatm2063 says:

    He does? I don’t see any pectoral cleavage on him at all. Flat chested thing needs to head out to the gym if he is going to wear that on stage.

    As for Seinfeld, it looks like he is wearing a woman’s blouse from the 80s.

  • Tenorfach says:

    Seinfeld looks kinda cute in that outfit ……… Florez more like a …….. eh, girl’s blouse! LOL

    (has that pic of Florez been photoshopped within an inch of its life or something? Only Nebs usually have skin this smooth on photos! LOL)

  • I give the win to Jerry. I actually think JDF wears that shirt well. he could use some hair on that chest, but you can’t fight nature.

    • jatm2063 says:

      Yes he could use some chest hair. Maybe he could talk to Lily Tomlin about how to apply fake chest hair. She does know after all.

  • kashania says:

    No contest. Juan Diego looks comfortable whereas Jerry looks awkward.

  • OpinionatedNeophyte says:

    Whatver ish I might talk about Florez’s voice, Jerry Seinfeld is one of the least funny, most annoying and unattractive celebs in the public eye. JDF for the win!

  • WindyCityOperaman says:

    I love pouffy shirts . . . and I think every man in the free world should own one! But I’d ax the ruffles and just keep the big sleeves. I mean, who could resist pretending to be Don Giovanni for a few minutes?

    • Baritenor says:

      Me. I’ve worn poofy shirts onstage on seven seperate occasions, and I’ve always hated the look and feel.

      • BETSY_ANN_BOBOLINK says:

        Really? I grew so fond of a couple of mine that I had them copied. I felt very free in them, although the size of the jabot had to be kept under control. No one likes to feel he’s being upstaged by a flounce.
