    Later that day, all the other boys in his class beat the piss out of Robin.

    Once he hits puberty he's screwed.

    What talent!
    ...and maybe not screwed (literally too) if he becomes a castrati!

    It's not THAT great. A lot of 13 year old girls could sing this as well as he does. So, the question is: Are you impressed just because it's a boy? I'm not.

    No, young boys' voices are a lot different than the voices of young girls. Is there a Vienna Girls Choir?
    The reason is that boys' voices enter into a special richness of tone and range before and during the time when their voice changes. It has a high range and unique color, different from any other age (or sex). This is why so many composers wrote especially for them.

    "A lot of 13 year old girls could sing this as well as he does"

    Umm. No. What you say is crap. There have never been "a lot" of people of either sex who can sing this aria.

    I hope he can develop his male singing voice when he hits puberty, otherwise he can say goodbye to singing.

    Jenny is right, and this young man is definitely talented, but screwed when he hits puberty, unless he becomes one of the castrato.

    And moon, I'd like to see you hit those notes.

    All these people saying he's had it when he hits puberty don't know what they're talking about. A boy's voice isn't ruined when it breaks, and many boy soprani continue to develop their voices during and after puberty. They will have already received a great deal of training by that time and this keeps their voices strong during the break. I was a treble as a boy, and am now a tenor; though there was no way I could have sung like Robin here when I was his age. It's not his range that's impressive as much as his tone control - there are some very difficult intervals in that piece. Bravo!

    Hey moon and others: Can you sing this? It isn't his VOICE that makes this brilliant, though his voice at the time he did this is stunning.

    What makes him excellent is that he can follow an extremely difficult piece of music and can sing it with perfect pitch, so when his voice breaks (which it might well have done by now) then his talent for following music that even many people who are musically trained cannot follow is what matters.

    He'll make it, with a different voice no doubt, but he has perfect pitch, can 'hear' the music in his mind and so can follow it to the end and we'll all hear more of him one day when he's gone through his teens and recognised what he wants to do.

    Hey Moon and Nathan: Can YOU sing this? It isn’t his VOICE that makes this brilliant, though his voice at the time he did this is stunning.

    What makes him extremely talented is that he can follow an abysmally difficult piece of music and can sing it with perfect pitch all the way through, so when his voice breaks (which it might well have done by now) then his talent for following music that even many people who are musically trained cannot follow is what matters.

    He’ll make it. It will be with a different (mature adult) voice no doubt, but he can ‘hear’ the music in his mind and so can follow it perfectly to the end and we’ll all hear more of him one day when he’s gone through his teens and recognised what he wants to do.

    I just hope that this talented youngster doesn't get disheartened by reading remarks by people who never could hope to sing that piece of difficult music through to the end but who do have the time to spend posting criticism of him.

    Go Robin, go! You were born with a talent, use it to honour and keep alive the music of Mozart and others who inspire you. Don't listen to people who put you down, go for it, you surely can do it, don't let it go.
