This man's voice could shatter glass

[Triple G]

Who cut his balls off??

 

[AngelFromAbove]

Meh. Technically good but there's absolutely nothing new about his voice. There's many many male singers out there who are capable of going that high and much higher.
He has a pretty standard tone and overall voice.

Actually, there are not that many men documented to be able to sing that high into that register. Yes, there are other men who cansing that high and even higher, but it's not common.

^ It's also important to note that he has control over his voice at that pitch.

You'd be surprised at how many there actually are.
The notes he sings here aren't all that high as well. Haven't checked but from what I hear it's around D6, wich is not THAT high.

He has 4 and a half octaves, which is not common. I am not close to my piano right now, but I think it is an F6.

The first couple of times the two note figure is C6 B5 C6... Then it modulates up a half step to Db6 C6 Db6.

I'm a nerd...

LOL he's a good singer and that was funny. I never knew a man could have that kind of pitch.

Of course a man can sing at that pitch. There's a great tradition of falsettos and countertenors in both classical music and popular music. Jimmy Holmes of The Ink Spots is a wonderful example of this kind of voice; check out his perfectly-controlled ascent into the high register at the end of this song:



Klaus Nomi was another countertenor who used his voice to produce some utterly unique and outlandish music in the '70s and '80s.

And the young Frenchman, Philippe Jaroussky is another countertenor who continues the tradition which was revived by Alfred Deller; singing mostly within the Baroque genre:



He also happens to be rather cute, in my opinion.

 

[D-Base]

ThirstyC, you're right, he is a major star in Europe. I first heard of him about five years ago.

He is? Never heard of him b4.

[Telstra]

the song is suitable for some sort of movie.
Twillight ... maybe.

He should sing a English version too.

Either he does not know English or he is comfortable with his European market, so he does not care about America. Otherwise, America would be the next step for him as he is a major star in Europe.

Not exactly common, no but not exactly that rare these days either. How low and how high has he reached?

I've heard a G6 at his highest. The lowest I've heard is F3, but he is supposed to be documented with having four and a half.

It is not a matter of how low or how high. Many people can make sounds outside their range. The question remains, "Do they have control of their voices or do they sound like Roseanne trying to sing the Star Spangled Banner?"

Vocal range IS a matter of how high and low you can reach. It's how you measure vocal range.

Are you sure the lowest you've heard was F3? 'Cause that's usually many female singers's lowest notes. A male can always sing lower than that...or like 98% of male singers anyway. From what I heard, he does go lower than that.

Not when you're trying to sing. A lot of people can reach those notes with their voices, but not many of them can make music with them.

Interesting to watch. I'm not sure I could sit through an entire concert of his.

Whoops, typo. I meant F2. I did not proofread. That's the lowest I've heard from him, personally. More than likely, he has a full register in that area though.

Obviously, he has control over his voice, which is why we are discussing his singing. What's your point exactly? Regardless, male singers typically do not sing as far into the 6th register.
