  • @tintinthemafiapixie Thank you!

  • @kangadillo It's because the music is written for a very high voice so it can only be sung by a counter-tenor, a castrato or a woman. Castration is illegal now, good counter-tenors are very rare and good female singers are relatively common, so that's why!

  • I like her interpretation of this role very much.

  • @temperanceluv81 That is Boy George too.

  • @TK2008BEST Orlofsky is a bit...androgynous

  • @Estuddian I did find a male countertenor singing this on YT: Jochen Kowalski. He's terrific.

  • "Dude look like a lady!"

  • @TK2008BEST Her face may look like Boy George, but her head is pure Sinead O'Connor.

  • @Estuddian Very interesting! Thank you!
