With his funky hairdo, I was instantly prepared to dislike him. Then he opened his mouth. Oh, my God! This is absolutely everything that singing should be. I am a fan for life.
OMG, you just made me cry!! It is so incredibly amazing the way you perform this awsome Ave Maria, your timbre is so rich, I would think of an alt instead of a countertenor if I close my eyes. Brilliant! Thanks for bringing a piece of heaven to us!
@eyepatchinc dude! The one vitas sings is schubert's... A bit of research before you compare real countertenors and musicians to that commercial masturbation?
@Guichotpresident lets try this again (my original comment didn't post) ...i don't need to do research to know which version/singer i like, not do i even care who wrote the traditional melody. in fact, i never claimed to know who wrote it. i just know i like it a lot better than this garbage. don't get me wrong, this guy also has a great voice, but this melody blows. & seriously man, get over it - i'm entitled to my opinion. lastly, just cause vitas is popular, doesn't mean he can't sing.
@eyepatchinc dude... THERE IS NO TRADITIONAL MELODY!!!! Ther are different versions of ave maria. That you don't like the melody is understandable, that's a question of taste. But PLEASE don't compare vitas to real countertenors! I didn't say Vitas was popular, by the way, I just said that his music was unoriginal and commercial (=made in the sole goal of making money and not touching people). If you like vitas, fine. But don't come on real countertenors' videos and comment that Vitas is better
@Guichotpresident i shall post comments anywhere i wish. you know damn well what the traditional melody is. its the one everyone knows and sings. the one you hear in church & on the radio. why? because its the TRADITIONAL MELODY get over it.
you have a job right? you make $ right? it just happens that vitas makes more than you & he does it with singing. it doesnt mean he's not a "real" countertenor. people buy his music, because it DOES touch them. quit playing dumb & quit being an elitist
@eyepatchinc Check out ave maria on wikipedia, it'll broaden your little view on things ;) It's great that Vitas makes lots of money i'm really happy for him! Maybe I looked a bit elitist, it's true. But his version of SCHUBERT's Ave Maria (it is NOT the "traditional" melody for god's sake!!!) just doesn't compare with the TRADITIONAL singing of it.
OMG, another ridiculous asian going blond, and he sings like a weeping woman who just lost a child, rather than paying tribute to the virgin Mary. I swear he looks like the broth preparer at my local noodle restaurant.
Aahhh! The rare and beautiful voice of the counter-tenor. So serene, so melodiously performed with the grace and dignity of a true virtuoso. I loved every note!
Thank you for your kind comment. It is so vey sad that people who have no appreciation of genius, brilliance and sheer beauty, not to mention commitment, waste their time, and disgust the rest of us with their unpleasant, abusive (and here, rcaist) comments.
Is that your usual reaction to anyone that is, quite obviously, so much more talented than you could ever hope to be, even in your wildest fantasies? Nobody wishes to read your filth, or your craven racism.

ha ha you fucking gay jew you insist on castrated boys! Your religion (talmud) makes the rabbis cut the jews little penis when they are born!! Your genetic problem,the gay one(which is jewish and first appeared in jews in old testament),makes you be castrated because you put your penis in your ass!!
@theo9952 but its said, that there is a difference between the voices of castrate singers than in countertenors... ;-) sure countertenors are damn good but i think castrated singers sound different ;-)
@todesbote Well, they say that castrato tenors didn't use ''faltsetto'' vocal techniques that counter-tenors use. But how different their voices could they be ? They still had human vocal cords and there are also several singers with natural high-pitched voices and don't forget the sopranists ! BTW have you heard recordings of the ''last castrato'' Morecshi ? They are very low-fi of course but still one can tell that he was not so good.
Oh-! it seems to be really interesting fact that if your comment statement is true-! You mean this version is actually revised by a russian composer Vavilov as getting from the original Caccini? Could you inform for everyone as briefing an authentic sources about it?
"Ave Maria" is a popular and much recorded aria composed by Vladimir Vavilov around 1970. It is a musical hoax generally misattributed to Baroque composer Giulio Caccini. Vavilov himself published and recorded it on the Melodiya label with the ascription to "Anonymous" in 1972.
It is believed that the work received its ascription to Giulio Caccini after Vavilov's death, by an organist Mark Shakhin (one of its performers on the mentioned "Melodiya" longplay), who gave the "newly discovered scores" to other musicians; then in an arrangement made by the organist Oleg Yanchenko for the recording by Irina Arkhipova in 1987; then the piece become be famous worldwide.
Please, people! Do not be that obtuse! Listen and enjoy! This interpretation is technically (almost) perfect but, above all, is delicious! Congratulations to the singer!
@dcbeyam I'm not sure if I would consider intonation the problem. But around 1:55 in this video he goes down instead of where most singers go higher (bocelli, westenra, sumi jo)
Anyway, in my opinion he probably is just in a more falsetto-y vocal cord function then his tone would lead to believe. And like any professional he works around it well.
I LOVE how he sings it with such ease. He is not straining to hit the notes, he is not pulling the notes out of this throat. He is just in his comfort zone, and letting it just come out naturally....Just blows me away everytime I hear this.
A voice of such incomparable richness and mellifluous beauty. There are dozens of countertenors today, perhaps even more: only the very tiniest handful are capable of such purity and warmth of tone. David has none of that unpleasant nasal timbre or pushed notes at the top of his tessitura.
He is becoming better known but deserves world recognition!
Because of the timbre and technique of this singer, this selection may have been a good choice: the fullness of his voice (as opposed to a more white voice) and less demand for technical agility and precision in this composition than in most Baroque vocal works. I would be curious how he handles very demanding arias (as an example, Andreas Scholl's "Mitridate", posted on YouTube.)
I wonder if Andreas Scholl ever sung this? ... would be amazing! ... but as for David - very very nice. Need a bit more focusing though ... but great anyway :)

Why does everyone think this is hard to do, it's so easy? I can sing from bass to soprano no problem, and this guys pitch isn't the greatest, I'd rather sing along with Hayley Westenra on this song.
You don't know what you're talking about! "It's so easy?". Why isn't every male a countertenor then? To sing with such durability and breath control, a lot of training is required! Because so much breath is taken from the diaphragm it is hard to sustain! And it is very hard to develop good dictation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Okay... well it's not very hard for me than. I didn't realize that other guys would have troubles singing like this guy. I'm a guy, and I'd rather sing along with Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, or Natalie Dessay because they sound much better to me and my voice is closer to their voices than this dudes voice. But my favourite singer to sing along with is Jussi Bjorling.
singing very high ca ruin an aria ... What jg060291 said was that u need very hard work to sound good and of course u also have to be talented. its easy to get to the notes that Lee sings in this video but its hard to sing them with grace and control that can sound good and not artificial to other peoples hears specially with a male falsete ...
and btw I can also sing along some arias sang by Callas but i can never think i can sound as good as her ... I never listen to a countertenor that match a coloratura soprano ... i don't think thats possible
i cant stand when people listen to themselves next to a recording of a professional singing. sit down with a tape recorder and sing queen of the night in saprano and then come back and tell me your voice is close to joan , natalie and maria.....
There isn't anything unnatural about it. He is an extremely skilled countertenor...oh, btw...he sang as baritone for many years as well, he has quite the range.
Well yes I know, and now I know this man is normal lol :P. I always thought there should be a bassline in a male voice...but lol, he can probably speak with a bassline but whatever man, it's not my business anyway :)
AMAZING!

I'm a guy, and I'd rather sing along with Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, or Natalie Dessay because they sound much better to me and my voice is closer to their voices than this dudes voice. But my favourite singer to sing along with is Jussi Bjorling.

singing very high ca ruin an aria ... What jg060291 said was that u need very hard work to sound good and of course u also have to be talented. its easy to get to the notes that Lee sings in this video but its hard to sing them with grace and control that can sound good and not artificial to other peoples hears specially with a male falsete ...

and btw I can also sing along some arias sang by Callas but i can never think i can sound as good as her ... I never listen to a countertenor that match a coloratura soprano ... i don't think thats possible

a countertenor can almost never match a true soprano simply because the male vocal cords is different anatomically to that a a female !!!

i cant stand when people listen to themselves next to a recording of a professional singing. sit down with a tape recorder and sing queen of the night in saprano and then come back and tell me your voice is close to joan , natalie and maria.....

I do have a tape recorder (very old school Sony tape recorder), I do record myself, and I said closer... not close.

There isn't anything unnatural about it. He is an extremely skilled countertenor...oh, btw...he sang as baritone for many years as well, he has quite the range.

Well yes I know, and now I know this man is normal lol :P. I always thought there should be a bassline in a male voice...but lol, he can probably speak with a bassline but whatever man, it's not my business anyway :)

1:54 Should he have taken a breath here? It seemed a little out of place.
