Wikipedia says, "Crooning is a style that has its roots in the Bel Canto of Italian Opera, but with the emphasis on subtle vocal nuances and phrasing found in Jazz as opposed to elaborate ornamentation or sheer acoustic volume found in opera houses" and dictionary.com says "To sing popular songs in a soft, sentimental manner", but neither one of these is really helping me to understand the concept. Can anyone shed some more light on this, perhaps by giving a bit more objective answer or some popular examples?
