He's a got voice meant for a Disney princess. I initially thought the lead singer for Coheed & Cambria was female after first hearing "A Favor House Atlantic," but even that was a deeper pitch than this. Wow.

If someone made a joke about being able to sing octaves higher than usual after being hit in the balls. Man... I can't believe no one has made that joke yet. Especially since that's what happens when you get hit in the balls... you sing... and you do it in an abnormally high voice... I wish someone would have made that joke. What a missed opportunity to totally ignore a person's incredibly unique talent by sounding like a juvenile redneck who dropped out of high school. I guess there's always next post. You know what would be great?

This young man could definitely benefit from some classical vocal training. I'm a sucker for a good baritone, but this guy kind of makes me want to change my listening preference...lol. I am a mezzo-soprano with quite a 3-octave range (which is rare enough for women), and I find it absolutely fascinating when a guy has a similar range. I so want to sing a duet with this young man.... What a lovely voice and beautiful vibrato. This young man could definitely benefit from some classical vocal training.

The first time I heard a guy singing counter tenor/soprano, I was floored; I had the TV on for background noise while doing some stuff around the house, and PBS was playing some Christmas musical. I heard this beautiful soprano voice, and when I looked at the TV it was a guy! I did some reading on the subject, and it turns out that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Countertenors" rel="nofollow">it's not that uncommon</a>, but that doesn't translate into it being well known.

Nick Patera is a counter tenor. Counter tenors sing with a natural head voice in the alto,mezzo and soprano ranges. There's a couple of places he goes into falsetto. But 95% of his singing is pure counter tenor head voice. This is not a falsetto.

I'd love to see him in an initial audition for American Idol, just because it would be great to see how surprised the judges wold be. Odd!
