Looked like a man to me!! WOW! That's some voice..

I think getting hit in the nut$ might produce a 'different' set of notes :D

It's a man, but good lord I couldn't even begin to hit that kind of a note. He must have great vocal cords.

My GOODNESS what a voice! A Norwegian pop star with a 4-octave range was just found dead in his bed yesterday morning. His doctor's theory is that singing all that falsetto simply put too much cummulative strain on his heart. If the autopsy bears this out, then this guy is living dangerously! But what a show while it lasts! Anybody know enough Russian to tell us what the song is about?

Was it the guy from Ah-Ha? That dude had some serious range!

Anybody see the movie "Farinelli" - about Carlo Broschi - a castrato?

Very, very good movie

Yes, I know plenty of Russian. The song is about a lonely person in his house. The weather and the rain that knocks into his windows. He understands and accepts his loneliness and knows that the door is closed behind him.

Vitas is a very popular Russian singer. He is one of the superstars who can sing operas and his this brilliant soprano. But has done very well in pop music.

I got to see her in 1978, a month before I left the Bay Area for Seattle and a year before she died of breast cancer. She opened for Al Green. A great double bill if there ever was one.

Here is a link to a bio of her where it states she had a five octave voice. :eek:

No, not anybody from A-Ha. Guy by the name of Jan Werner. Great voice, but pretty predictable as a musician. Tended to sing really mushy soppy romantic stuff. I wasn't a fan. Didn't wish him dead though. He was still in his 30's.

Thanks, Lenusik.
Wow! What a voice! I was wondering what the song was about, but his smirky grin didn't really fit with it...:rolleyes: He seemed to be having too much fun to be singing about being lonely...
