@@MORNINGSTAR190 Voice type invented in the 1950s to replace boys voices in opera they are either Sopranists(think Male Sopranos like he is) or Altists(Male Altos). Either can be in falsetto or a natural in "head" voice which is more rare.
O. G. Falsetto is part of headvoice oooo .... falsetto is just a hooty sound found in your voice when you go higher that needs to be clarify by the participation of the chest voice but the hootiness of that falsetto needs to be there .... so headvoice equal to falsetto plus little or more chest voice ......
XDranzer000 exactly his using a mixed technic which is so obvious by that metallic pinched sound he delivers ...... but he got a great tone ..... if he tries to remove that mixed technic he will be great
He just has a seamless transition throughout his voice. Did you just sit back and enjoy this guy in practice sometimes? He seems like he worked very, very hard.
Just saw a interview where he said he doesn't have a falsetto..it's his natural voice all the way up and down...just incredible..would love to hear him sing some oldies like the The Stylistics and The Temps..he could really capture that tone!
When he said he "didn't have a falsetto", he probably meant he didn't have that very notable indie pop soft sound when singing high notes. He just has a very powerful, very supported head voice, which is still really difficult to master and I really admire it.
He uses mixed voice and i think he can’t sing falsetto because his voice is already fixed in natural + mixed voice. Maybe he wants to workout with his falsetto since his genre is rnb. It would be more usable in his genre. Soul or opera may fit his voice.
Look up tenor Altino or tenor contraltino they are the true countertenors who hit puberty but still retain a high tessitura abd some have a Androgynous timbre like this guy he sound between a woman and a higher than typical man with a bright tone simultaneously
There's no voice type named as countertenor.... It's just a term used to refer to male voices who primarily use their falsetto 😅 Actually, the adult male voice which is higher than the tenor voice is called an "Altino" Young altinos have a range of almost a mezzo soprano....

@@newhope5729 I don't mind however I am one myself even though I don't sound good singing 😆 my speaking voice sound between a Contralto woman and a brighter (lighter) than a typical male simultaneously with a boyish tone and the speaking range is between C#3-D4 .

The true counter tenor is a rarity. This is beautiful and effortless! I am a trans man who had to mourn the loss of my alto range this year. I am now Tenor 2..and we will see where I land. Certainly not at counter tenor!--These vocals are gorgeous.
Same here- my t comes late this year so I'll be getting the last of my soprano singing out before it drops. I sing tenor in my choir atm. I struggle sometimes but luckily I have a good range + director. It's such a weird feeling tho right? I'm really glad for my voice to drop- but then again I will be mourning my highest range. It's always good to see other trans choral singers out there :)

You know, I get the feeling that it may not have been his best day, but it's the same for all singers, we all sound better when we're doing the dishes. Still a good rendition, but somehow I think he would have crushed it if he had picked a lower key
I think you need to see the difference between falsetto and headvoice there is a misconception . Both have a head voice falsetto lack resonance and it's airy it sound chipmunk like sort of because the vocal cords are not fully connecting only the edges
If anyone who reads this lives in fort bend Texas he comes to the fort bend choir every year. I am sorry but I’ve been in the choir and there is something fundamentally wrong with their director he is not all there so please do not enrol your child in. I beg of you

Your range ends at D#4?🤨🤨
If you developed your head voice/falsetto you may be able to hit it but wouldnt be the same. Embrace your own unique voice :)

In some ways, does the loss of alto feel affirming? I hope that can be the bright spot to losing that part of your range.
Fantastic voice! Fantastic soul ❤️.

Absolutely Love it.
Great rendition ! 👏👏👏👏👏
Til he ruined it at the end.
That was so beautiful 😢
Never heard of that before. It is a beautiful voice
Omg this is beautiful
Wasn't expecting the octave jump at "free!"
It was not an octave jump
It was actually a fifth but still incredibly impressive
@@sbeats971it was a 4th from Eb5 to Ab5
I'm a high tenor and can hit the high notes he did but not as cool as how he does. Extraordinary...😊
Me too, its hard
Holy crap!!! Awesome
Perfect
BEAUTIFUL VOICE HE IS ON THE VOICE SUNG MISTY
he ate that up !!!!!!!
Boy can sing
It’s weird how the people with the most operatic knowledge seem to appreciate this the least. I think is a great performance.
omggggggggggggggggggggg as a fellow countertenor i never thought these notes are easy
Countertenor is up down up down yeah this is real

The voice?
here we are, amigo
@@BananaGrip yes sir
Damn he’s good
Lawrence University, Appleton WI represent
GO, WARRIORS!!!☺
We have the same range. I'm a countertenor too. I'm more comfortable singing female songs by using my natural voice, and not falsetto.
He should have held his high notes for longer!
he can't.
Yes he can
@@Dutchess80 he was on the voice, he definitely can sustain those notes.
Love the g# note!!!!
Amazing
damn😮
It takes some balls to sing like that
😄
Wasn’t what I expected
Clarity of the voice
Just a head voice, not a falssetto
👍🏾
Getting donny Hathaway vibes from this guy! Bruh!😄
How? 😂 More like Stevie. Donny's voice was straight velvet.
He did that like it was nothing. 💀
AWE!!! JORTC!!! THEY GOT THEIR LITTLE TOY GUNS! AND I THINK THEY ACTUALLY SHOWERED FOR THIS! adorable XD
I knew a countertenor. He sang karaoke at a bar.
My goodness people say am a countertenor but damn I’m no where near him 🤯
My wish to know how to do mixed Voice
why do we never hear the second verse ever sung???
Is it just me or are Countertenors the opposite of contraltos?

Maybe. They sing in the same range. The only difference is that contralto sing in chest voice and countertenors sing falsetto
Reminds me of Sousuke Mitsuba☺️☺️
It truly does. Tomyas.. 😍
Something about this reminds me of Mickey Mouse
i swear he just high af
So much better than when Carl Lewis tried it.
Was Steve Perry already booked and unavailable?
Onmmmmmg
I’m an counteralto but I need some lessons.
As a contralto
....
I cant even hit his high notes...
He a tenor Altino aka countertenor the real one his voice sound Androgynous like a gender neutral mix of a woman and higher than typical man simultaneously.
AYO im the 1k like 😎
Gosh... I am not an American, but John's rendition is bringing me misty eyes! Makes me think of Whitney's!
Real countertenor like Michael Jackson.
This is what Fergie thought she sounded like
Bread and butter #Uradqianqi
Dang I wish I could make my head and falsetto voice sound like it's coming straight from the chest. That's crazy
Train train train..given enough right, diligent time you can get there
Why Fergi and NOT John?!!
a baritone can be a countertenor?
with lots and lots of practice may be possible
No
Because countertenor is a very rare voice types and its in birth

No. A baritone can train to increase their range but the quality of the voice will be consistent. Counter tenors are naturally lighter and higher.
bitch i thought that was skinner talking at the beginning
I got some Whitney Houston vibes from this.
Did the Rockets win this game?
Nope - The Red Glare and the Free definitely won THIS game.
To me this is a mezzo or soprano
You know, I get the feeling that it may not have been his best day, but it's the same for all singers, we all sound better when we're doing the dishes. Still a good rendition, but somehow I think he would have crushed it if he had picked a lower key
I think so too..when you start that high you don't have much of a place to go
Looks like contralto
He gives me futuristic visions of a older Zaya Wade .... similar facial attributes 🧐
I’m countertenor. I’m more Mariah Carey than this though !
Dude sounds like whitney houston
he sounded like Beyonce tho. Loved her voice!!
Are you SERIOUS? Beyonce? LMAO.
Try Mitch Grassi, if you like to hear a countertenor. Unfortunately this sounds kind of tortured.
Sorry I'm higher than counter tenor
You’re still known as a counter tenor...counter tenors can have the range of a contralto, mezzo or soprano
