  • This tenor has a bright future I belive...So great and easy high notes,baravo Yang...

  • i liked it, he is great. And all the others that complain about their bulsshit, are just jealous.

  • Yes it's a nice high c, everyone can hear that. Everyone can also hear that's about the only good thing going on here.

  • Nice top notes ringing BUT no color and space to the rest voice...shame...

  • @MariaCallasLegend would you mind giving me a listen? I just recorded this. I hope I have the color you speak of.

  • I think Florez is kinda whiney when he sings the C's. This fella has a much more full, bright tone, not piercing like so many others. Bravo good sir!

  • 声は良いですね。音楽の解釈には好みがあると思いますが・・・。

    もっとスパッと歌った方が良いかな。

  • Nothings compare to Alfredo Krauss, Nothing!, this tenor needs learn much more to get the voice to sing this aria and get better your french

  • all of you have to look that his mouth isn't moving similar to his singing, can't you see? what's wrong with that? I think this isn't his real voice.... it's just a fake!

  • @youmakemesick94 No, I don't think it is. I think maybe the sync is just off. The accompanist isnt on with the music either.

  • @youmakemesick94 are you retarded? The video is just out of sync with the audio.

  • respect !!!! :)

  • WOOOW! WOOOW!

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • His French is horrible. lol Great high C's. I mean if he's gonna sing on world stages, he can't just have good high notes, diction is kind of important too. And I do agree with whoever said the thing about no feeling.

  • WAOOO GRANDE

  • youtube nous permet de découvrir des ténors de tous les pays..et quel voix!!!!

  • i like you very good111

    

  • Excellent Voice, Great Technique, No feelings at all... that's why we don't see so many asian singers in the world stages.

  • BRAVO

  • it is obvious that the sound and the video don't sync, those who say he is lipsyncing because of this are clearly 1.racists 2.jealous 3.both

  • Stimme ist brilliante,Technik ist perfekt.Kann der Tenor auch "Der Postillon von Lonjumeau" von Adam?Z.B. die 3. Arie?

  • I mean, is the video wrong or something?.

  • last two notes were off... sad to say.

  • Couldn't this guy get himself a jacket and trousers that fit? That suit is a couple sizes too big for him and makes him look ridiculous.

  • he's not singing!!! you can see there are parts where the shape of his mouth doesn't match the diction

  • The sound is just off thats all... it is him singing you can see that the piano is off too. also if you watch his mouth and move the sound in your mind back a few moments it'll match

  • Maybe because the sound is off? lol

  • Pauvres amis espagnoles si chauvins, votre Florès est définitivement battu! Pourquoi? Parce Yang Yang a une voix plus large, plus corsée et il nous fait les notes aussi bien, voire meilleures!

  • FloREZ est péruvien.

  • @saintsaens21 ; Ouais, mail il parle espagnol et il est totalement récupéré par les ibériques.

  • @radiactivo357 Dude, what a WEIRD comment.

  • he ooks much younger than 28 but I looked it up and he was born in '78

  • Secure technique and fine strong voice. He is really good!

  • How to find him? I'm very interested to propose him in european theatres :) ty

  • Nice strong voice. Whether the French is perfect or not seems besides the point to me. We listen to this aria to find out how the singer handles the high Cs, not how they handle la langue francais.

  • parce que c etait en francais???

  • Oui, d'accord, mais je ne suis pas francophone. Mais bien sur, vous avez raison- c'est important pour les gens francophones.

  • @zutal0rs u are so wrong :D:D

  • @kriklun Do you mean the comment in English, or the one in French? ;-) Or both, no doubt?

  • @zutal0rs it would be "la langue francaise" since "langue" is feminin :). Either way I agree with you.

  • @theshiz0 Oops! My mistake is unintentionally ironic! Thanks for the reply. I'm glad you agree. Just think, if the French had to be perfect, only French (or francophone) singers would qualify, and what pleasures we would be deprived of then.

  • i love it. i look forwards to hearing more of this young man.

  • His French is sux!

  • Almost all the tentors besides French ones are good at that ok?

  • I meant bad = ="

  • Alfredo Kraus always had perfect diction...especially french!

  • Your English is sux!

  • Really, quite a good voice, solid technique. Can't wait to see what he's developed into with a few years under his belt!

  • Props for being able to sing with that pianist haha. It's his performance, not hers.

  • is that him singing? the audio is off of the video

  • the Cs are good...

  • nice...

    tell this guy to try caruso though hahahaha

    probably 18 high C's aha

  • very good fresh voice

  • Sings as good as Florez. I had fun running both this guy's and florez' clips in different windows using google chrome. yang's stood out.

  • i have no words, bravo... any chance to see this guy in Europe?

  • BRAVISSIMO!

    his high "C" is perfect!

    reminds me of pavarotti.

    and the finish is priceless! :)

    way to go!

  • Not bad! (better diction would help...)

  • You gotta love that honky tonk pianist! What's with the out-of-sync, though?

  • the best part of this guy is his willingness to wear his belt buckle off center under his vest.

  • Great voice! :)

  • SOOoo stupid--the piano playing. She knows nothing about this aria. Good voice, bad diction. He needs a good teacher and coach.

  • come on! that´s nothing. Check it out the version of Juan Diego Florez.

  • God he's got guts! And it's not too bad either, apart from the wobble and the terrible French, but what score is the pianist playing from, buying him time by adding pauses and trills?...

  • Bravo!!!!!!

  • Bravo!!!!!! un diamante en bruto!!

  • mamamia :)

  • better than the master hisself...

  • kueeeek

  • I must say, I love his voice. who is he and how do i get intouch with, I would like him to do a master class.

  • he seems to be a performer of an organisation in the Chinese army, which is mainly responsible for performance for the soldiers and the public as well. I found a telephone number of that organisation on internet but don't know if it works

  • he already took master classes in Italy. This guy is a rising star in China, but I really wish he could record an international CD so that I can buy it.

  • THAT'S A PLAY BACK .....

  • most critical are those who tried it and did not make it so every singer has to fail,if you are a musician why making stupid comperisons I do not understand you people if you dont have anything to say just dont comment.This guy is good and this guy is no spinto tenor.

  • Avec sa voix plus corsée et plus timbrée que celle de Florez, il semble définitivement meilleur; presque l'égal d'Alfredo.

  • fantastic performance. wow

  • The C's are of miniscule proportion even in comparison to a tenore leggero for heaven's sake!

  • molto meglio di tante mezze vocette

  • Just letting yall know, this guy is a heavy voice, spinto/dramatic. Juan Diego has the high E above the tenor C. La fille is nothing for Diego, they are absolutely different voice types. This guys good, not my type of tenor, but good.

  • This tenor? Hate to disagree with you, but he's definately not spinto/dramatic. Bravo to the tenor, good singing.

  • even though your right that hes not a spinto/dramatic tenor, he'll still probably still grow into a heavy lyric and this aria is only easy for true rossini tenors like juan diego....its crazy that this is easy for this guy

  • Hey, I'll listen to his bad aspirations anytime anywhere. He's superb.

  • very nice pingy cutting quality similar to juan diego except darker. VERY nice!

  • I think even Florez is not much better than him. This guy has more darkness even though he has as easy high note as Florez.

    I always say this to people who criticize too much ; Hey.. Did you ever sing an aria? No? Okay. Try it someday. Then you will shut up.

  • How many people who wrote comments are singers? As a student who is gonna finish a graduate course, I would say this guy is unquestionably wonderful. Just Great.

    Some people worry about his technique or.. diction or breathing.. or appearance..?

    Ridiculous.

    I bet no one can deny he is more than great if he or she made serious efforts to be a singer. Without good technique or talent, it is impossible to sing the aria with that kind of quality.

    You guys are just too critical.

  • This guy is fine, I really like his voice...

    ...but there is a difference of color very disagreeable between the acute and the center, a difference that does not occur in Flórez's voice. To perceive it is not necessary to sing, and more observing that there are singers so little demanding. If you are going to be a singer, you must be respectful towards the fans' opinion.

  • What's the deal with the interpolations in the piano part? The orchestra does not play all that stuff she was doing, and stopping for that little cadenza, so she could trill, makes no sense in this piece.

  • BRAVO !!!

  • Nice high notes, but why these bad aspirations - quehehehel destin...jaihaihai sa main?

  • what a great performance! strange though chinese people shouldn't have trouble pronouncing the schwa sound being so common in the chinese language itself.

  • guys guys...listen to david phelps sing o holy night...now that guy can hit a top c with ease and some serious power

  • He's better than Florez.

  • Agreed. Florez sounds like he's squeezing those high Cs from his throat. It's just not natural.

  • I agree if you are talking about the high C only.Yang Yang's high C is broader and less tense. What a great gift!

  • I don't agree. This guy and Florez have 2 totally different fachs, Florez being a belcanto. Being a belcanto myself I recognize the difference. They are both amazing nonetheless, but this aria has become an "all fachs" aria. If you have a good high C you will end up singing this aria sometime. The high C is something different for every fach of tenor.

  • I agree totally. And this guy was sharp on the last C and F.....which kind of ruined it for me.

  • ja ja ja! better than florez...

  • Yes!, so much better, you're right!

  • agreed!

  • @lucybellesz

    You are so right..but every time I say that here I get a thumbs down by the faggots on YouTube

  • he sings as if he were a baritone.

  • singing like a baritone make him have great top register

  • so are you implying that a tenor should sing with baritonal techniques to have a wonderful high tessitura? idiot.

  • Sir, Have you ever heard of Franco Corelli. Mario Del Manoco,, Claude Heater, Franco Bonisolli just to name a few who sing with a Melocchi Technique or a Baritonal sound? They sang like Baritones BUT had a great full ringing top Not like some of the insipid sounds of so called opera singers whose voices could not fill an auditorium. This Young Chinese Tenor has been put on the right path vocally;therefore, Has great High notes. LEARN to sing sono1Tenore.

  • hmm...i'm not gonna waste my time arguing with someone who adores a certain person full of his own opinions. good day.

    but, i will say that i do agree with you about the "opera singers" today only being able to fill up half of my house with their so-called voice.

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY...I glad we could agree on one issue.

  • My only comment is that his appearance is a little baggy-as if his tails are too big for him.

    Wow, though. Wow.

  • His name is Yang Yang, from China. I have another 2 of his clips. Check out

  • Incredible, there are some many french singers who can't be understood, his pronounciation is almost perfect, and what a big voice for that aria !!! It's incredible !!!

  • I hope he comes to the big arena soon! He´s gonna be a star very soon

  • me gustó su interpretación. muy buena la resolusión de voz aunque le falta ponerle un poquito de alma a su voz/tema.

  • Great!!!!

  • A very good voice. It does however need refinement. His French could also use some work.

  • bravooo muy buena interpretacion

    claro despues de la de juan diego florez

  • Eccellente

  • amazing.  what a talent.

  • Very Good!!!! Congratulations!!!! When is he jumping to the big arena????

    Thanks!!!

  • Great, becarefull with the high C, i wanted to hear another type of arias for beginers.

    Congratulations

  • notevolissimo bel timbro tecnicamente ineccepibbile buono il legato...a quando il debutto?

  • bravo!!!!!!

  • This is a great voice. He butchers the French though. And the video and the sound are a hair off so you see his mouth move before the sound comes out. I hate that! All in all pretty good.

    Derrick

  • Great job! For those that say ignorant things like "Florez is the best" need to listen to other tenors, like this one. His tone, breath control, legato, projection and acting skills are much better than Mr. Florez, and there are thousands more nameless tenors out there. Keep up the good work and true bel canto singing Yang Yang!

  • it's an exiting voice!? i would rather have that than a singer who is boring!

  • This gay is AMAZING!!!! i do not why people need to critizice everything!! come on ,nobody is perfect.....

  • why did you call him gay? pls mind your words and your grammer....

  • i am sorry... GUY..

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­

  • qq ça veut dire: ahahahahahahahahahah????

  • only for the confusion above mentioned: 'guy'-'gay'... so funny...

  • Merci cher ami mais ne parlant pas l'anglais je n'ai toujours pas compris ce que vous entendez par Guy..Sorry

  • Buenísimo el tecnica, colocación, legato, pero que pésima interpretación.

  • sadly, there's a of people that love to critizice. He's a good singer, and he has a lot to learn. Maybe pronunciation is the reason why many asian opera singers are not famous around the world. But there are some of them that are really good.

    Now that Pavarotti died everybody says he was best ever. He was great, but not a good actor. everyone is just different. I like Florez...

  • actually people have been saying he's the best ever for years. I always thought he was the best ever.

  • omg....wow he really does sound pretty comparable to florez, why isnt he at the met?!?!?!? this guy has real talent!

  • needs to sing more legato... this piece is by Donizetti - BEL CANTO = legato ... also agree on the diction and perhaps not 'pushing' his head forward when he reaches the high notes... probably that sums up what i've got to say about this clip... technique wise i think he's almost there :)

  • if only i could hit a high C like that lol

  • Bravo!!!Bravo!!!

  • good

    but he'll ruin his voice if he keeps singing like he is at his age and development

    i doubt if he himself reads this but anyway

    a) new accompianist

    b) hes got some pallette and nasal tension

    c) don't go dramatic on pieces like this - vocal stress is immense. sing it light and get the notes and its just as impressive - of course open up at the end, but there is no need t sing the little notes large and dramatic

  • everyone's a critic

  • You do not know what you are talking about

  • Nice voice, but dreadful piano!

  • Agree, this guy should be singing in a opera house.

  • If only tenors in the west would sing like this more people would go to the opera, and not walk out in the middle of performances, its sur that he needs a bit of coaching for pronounciation, but technically hes very good!!!!

  • I do not know how old are you but you have a great colour and technic..But I really want to listen more songs meaning... Bravo!!!

  • se ti piace il sigre camarena posso credere che te piace anche questo schiffo.IGNORANTE.

  • He has an excellent voice!

  • (no comment about pianist :)

  • as a tenor i can say very good performance.(no comment)

  • Gosh, another Asian singer with no stage presence...

  • @DomerStud2008 gosh another jealous racist. ROT IN HELL BITCH

  • The pianist sucks, the tempi are oldfashioned, on two or three places he sings under the notes, acts artificially and arrogantly which does not justice to the aria. He performs it as some nobleman and does not let any charm go out. He sings beautifully indeed, but this aria requires more stage presence, which explains the negative comments.

  • HA!! WHAT A LOSER

  • Prima di tutto, la pianista deve imparare a rimanere sempre a tempo e non fare le sue propi arrangamenti, secondo quel " GRANDE TENORE cinese" :-( dovrebbe imparare la lingua francese e solo cosí verra lo STILE quello che qui poco si puoe vedere e sentire.

    in questa aria ..A MES AMI non solo é importante la serie di DO.

    caro tenore ascolta piú al Maestro ALfredo Kraus o al grande Rockwell Black.che loro sono veramente GRANDI tenori.

  • lol what a fake

  • This was actually a very good peformance. The execution was great, and his musicality skills were wonderful. He did his own thing and made it original.  Great job!

  • Not bad, but he went sharp on the last high C!

    If your going to go sharp don't do it at all! haha!

  • all is bad, piano and ténor. beurk !!!

  • Can you explain what's so bad about it please?

  • And it spoke...Thou Shall Not Show Off...okeeeeeeeeey

  • Please correct the title of the video to "Pour mon ame" because you do not show the actual aria "Ah, mes amis." Or take the video down all together, because this guy is horrible.

  • uh. . .people. . if this fellow is singing this aria I will turn in my AGMA card tomorrow. Oops. Forgot, I did that 20 years ago back when I was singing this aria, and TRUST ME, he is NOT singing it. PLUS if he did sing like what we are hearing, he soulc not be doing a recital with piano. . he would be at La Scala, which likely is where the tenor actually singing it sings!

  • Whoever's singing it sounds Chinese. Hear how he sings "miritaire" instead of "militaire."

  • he is most likely singing. When I have posted clips here there is often a lag between the video and the audio if they aren't in the right format. And I have heard some spectacular Chinese singers of this caliber in competitions and opera houses around the world, and sung with several as well. He sounds fantastic and I wish him the best.

  • for the way he pronounces the french the singer could certanñy be a chinese but it´s true that the video is not synchroniced with the audio. That raices some doubts bout the singer.

  • This is not lip synched.... people are so wierd... This is a video transfer thing... and yes some people can sing this rep without looking like they are giving birth...

    great sound!!!.

  • Actually he is much better than Pavarotti. Pavarotti's version was a studio product, not a LIVE performance. If you listened to Pavarotti's 1969 LIVE performance, you will hear that most of his High Cs were stuck in throat and small in terms of the size.

    Yang Yang's performance is really really outstanding!

  • Dude you've got a voice. Now fix your french and you're done! :-)

  • Not like Pavarotti whenhe sings this aria. He will take the breath out of you. But this guy is not so bad...but he like most of the tenors is pusching the High notes, I think it is only Pavarotti who can do it without pusching the high notes

  • what a pianist lol

  • Definetely not this guy singing. That's kind of shady to put yourself off as an amazing voice. The lips don't move correctly and the concentration of the face is not there. Whoever sang this has wonderful technique including lifted pallats, "long breathing" and lifting of cheekbones to access resonators. What a douche.

  • He doesn't seem to be breathing at all, is he really the one singing? If it is really him, kudos, the tones are very clear.

  • Well someone deserves a lot of credit for singing this and though my sound/image was out of sync I played it several times over bigger speakers and ignored the video and by darkening the sound it seemed to make his voice wider. Anyway, I'd agree that this young fellow will be heard from around the world. Great that you got this up!

  • Wow....Complete lip-sync and doctored studio track....Watch all the greats sing this aria very closely. You can see all of them working hard to sing this great. Not cool....

  • Ummm... It's actually a problem some people have with uploading videos onto youtube. He's certainly not lip-synching, it's just that the image of the video is not in synch with the audio.

  • Great control of voice and breath. Proud to be a chinese!!!!

  • Amazing. Lacks a little bit of wideness in his high notes, his throat is too tense (or too thick?), but extremely promising.

  • wow...I hope he has a big career...properly and slowly moved along he could have the voice of the century!

  • This is really, really nice!

  • nice one pietVana
