  • When one sees him one begins to comprehend the extraordinary sexual effect the castrati had on their audiences in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

    It's the richest, most mellifluous voice and...it's sexy, and it's masculine too.

  • For all of the people that say stupid things about "sissy" or other dumb things in other video posts....People get over yourselves. This man has a magnificent voice, one that comes around once in a blue moon. Leave your prejudice and shallow minded thinking at home...better yet, just stay home and do us all a favor. David DQ Lee is an incredible musician and artist.

  • So extraordinary! so musical and so fun!

  • Falsetto. Pure and simple. In other words, drag singing.

  • No I am not insane. Nor do I have a fetish for falsetti - most leave me cold. It is well documented that Farinelli and others had an extraordinary effect on their audiences. Women fainted and had to be unlaced, and men were often reduced to tears. I am sorry that so many of today's 'critics' appear to have lost that sensibility to beauty, to art and to the physical perfection of voices such as David Lee's.

    Oh, and by the way, don't tell me to 'back up' - only vehicles do that.

  • @zimnaya Masculine. Are you insane? Maybe to you it is. You obviously have a fetish for falsettos. And what "sexual effect" did the castrati have on their audiences? Back this up. I see NOTHING sexual about this at all.

  • LOVE the orchestral arrangement! He is a wonderful performer -- and the song is great for him. I have only heard Frederica perform this piece -- but David does it justice!

  • truly amazing

  • He messed up this song a lot but he recovered well. He has a beautiful voice though. Love this!

  • This song is truly amazing and the perfomance is excellent!

  • I enyoyed it, but let him be careful not to 'overload' his technique!

  • 이동규씨 진짜 대단하시네요_+
