@2cutthroatterrorist That was not my comment, that was elmatador880's comment. When you said "You're stupid what does your penis have to do with your voice?!" I thought it was a mistake on your part to include the testes with the penis. So I simply tried to explain to you what the OP meant by "This guy must be a 'CASTRATI'..." And I don't know why you're so damn butthurt here when the OP's comment wasn't even insulting; it was just a statement of incredulity.
@2cutthroatterrorist Actually, this specific pitchset requires the removal of certain bodily parts before certain chemical interactions and growth particulars take place. i.e. young adolescence.
Why is it that the violinists don't seem to be really playing at 1:44? I think they are really playing, it just seems so fake at that part. Their bows don't match what's being played. It's just weird. Bad editing, maybe?
I think I am also going Insane. Crazy, Crime of passion. Yes, love can make you out of your mind. Such a perfection in voice. He is a genius in his own field.
The lyrics for this song, sung by Vitas, have been changed to reflect a male perspective (Ester instead of Edgar).
In the original opera, Lucia goes mad after being rejected by her lover, Edgar (he was tricked into thinking she was cheating on him), and is forced into an arranged marriage that very day. She kills her husband that night when he attempts to consumate their marriage, and she stumbles out into the garden, covered in his blood, hearing things and seeking Edgar, completely insane.
I love Vitas! his range is incredible, his voice is flawless, and his performance is so passionate. this is the greatest thing I've heard from a male singer and better than most female ones too!
Nah, I bet this guy is closer to knowing him than you are. You cant say stuff like that. When someone performs an artist's work, it honors them. If someone can be famous singing another person's work, why is that usually said to be a travesty as well as take a large load of crap from people who have no say in the matter. Look at all of the lame pop singers from today who are re-making music that was once good. This is not a bad thing.

Falsettos are not usually able to hit soprano notes, like he can. Falsetto singers, usually known as counter-tenors, use falsettos to achieve alto ranges. He's rumored to be castrato though. Look up the phrase on wikipedia.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can´t understand why he do this. I think its not beautiful. This is Opera music, he shouldn´t try to sing it. It become realy ridiculouse. Thats my opinion, of corse. I think its awfull. For what I have listen of him, allways sound plastic. I would like to listen him without the comnputer voice.
He turned Lucia's aria, Il dolce suono, which is about her despairing decent into madness, into a sexified swooner! They just... don't go together! Some lovely, striking cinematography, mind you.
jeje thanks ... but .. I wonder ... how woulf he looks like if he had performed himself as Plavalaguna Diva from the fifth element ... I think he would have performed an interesting role ... jeje ... are you able to imagine him ? ...
Just 2 let you know !!! counter-tenors SING IN FALSETTO !!! counter-tenor is someone who uses falsetto to sing in soprano range !!! what do u mean it's not falsetto????
This is a delicate area as people see falsetto and head voice differently. Some even think they are the same thing. I think peasnquiet is saying that some countertenors can sing in head voice (part of their real voice) while others sing in falsetto (a false voice). I have the same viewpoint. I would say that David Daniels uses falsetto while Andreas Scholl uses head voice.
I agree to a certain degree !!!1 I mean I have heard tenors who can sing in the alto or mezzo-soprano range with their headvoice !!! but COME ON !!! he is singing a high C with out even forcing and filling all the crystals !! no one can do that with their head voice
also at somepoint he started singing from a high bass note and ended up singing in soprano !!!! thats about 4 octaves !!! no one can do that unless they use falsetto
very good...i wish he would get the italian right like saying edgardo instead of whatever he is saying but otherwise he is amazing..i wish i could do it
lol hey i can sing this song i am just amazed by his breath support and i asure you that i am not a castrato lol. Its funny you said that cause the last castrato i know of in exsitence was in like 1859 to 1922 and he was the only known recoreded castrato if you want to hear the difference go to bbc and look up "singing in the pain" and youll find a link to hear a castrato.
It's not impossible for men to sing in that range. He could be biologically castrated, rather than from surgery. It would account for his androgynous looks.
Uhh...Or he could simply be singing in his falcetto. All men have falcettoes but his is just *VERY* well developed. He also has a very nice head/chest voice (though it is a high tenor voice). If you listen carefully, you can barely hear a tiny break when he slides from his chest voice to his falcetto. I can't really explain how falcetto works but it has something to to with how the vocal chords vibrate... (apologizes for lack of vocal knowledge). Anyway, rest assured he is *not* castrated.
This is an extremely stupid question i know but is this man a castrati?...his voice is incredible! this is the first time i discover this man and i can't stop watching this video
