In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
A love song must respect the canons of music beauty, entering the fibers of those who are listening. It must make them dream and pleasantly introduce them to the universe of love.
If you don't have the possibility of listening to music, you can't know if you love it.
More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.
