Opened up my classical crossover google alerts and found this artile:
www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/5187-the-voice-season-2-exclusive-interview-with-chris-mann
I liked it because it seems a contestant from another mainstream show is using the term 'classical crossover' just like Jackie did for AGT. I'm not following 'The Voice' at all. Perhaps a few of our American members can fill us in?

Q. Todd, RealityWanted: You mentioned your different singing style and being a classical crossover. How do you think your singing style will work on the live shows?
A. Chris: Christina and I keep talking about which songs we want to do, which I still bizarre to me that that is part of my life right now...I get to actually be on the phone with her...it's just weird. Picking a song with a big melody that really lets me sing and use that part of my voice...that classical-crossover thing. It's hard to find the right song, but I think when we find the right song it's going to be wonderful...just the response to what I've done already, it's just awesome, especially to the people that didn't know about the style in the first place. I think it'll be cool...I'm excited about it.

but surely the classical influence makes him stand out from other contestants so they'll use that to an extent! I don't know much about that stuff but I hope it works out!
