Falsetto - Russian Pop Singer has been added as a related post - related requested by nanrod.

His falsetto reminds me of Antony Hegarty - very good!

That tenor has a pretty impressive high range without sounding falsetto. Then I I heard the interview at the end and figured out that he ... uh ... has lots of high voice practice.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. And it definitely makes for a good tenor in the group. The rest of them sound good too.

1. Rename this to "The Vocal Powerhouse That WAS Meat Loaf"
2. After watching this and the AFL Grand Final 2011, my expert amateur opinion is that he's losing his hearing.
He definitely has the range and the voice, but it's hitting the wrong notes, and he's not gauging it right. It's not like he's Axl Rose who's lost his raspiness, Axl is hitting the right notes (albeit like a schoolboy falsetto).
Not entirely unlikely for Meat Loaf; his age makes him likely to lose his hearing. Add to that being a musician surrounded by loud music: very likely. He's putting in the energy, but doesn't have that feedback loop that those belted out vocals are missing the mark. He may as well be covering his ears and screaming. Which is kind of what it sounds like.
My two cents.

I suppose it could be...but it hurts to see one of the best voices of our (my, anyway) lifetimes lose it. How long ago was Bat Out of Hell 3 recorded...because he was nothing short of perfect for that one. That's a lot of damage to show up in 6 short years.

Nice falsetto!

still, cenk's fake falsetto is more annoying than informative.
same goes for olberman.

From a young age I always thought this song was sung by a female. Based on body language, it looks like his co-workers would like to distance themselves from his gender-bending falsetto.

You're silly!

Neither was mine, originally. I was just afforded an opportunity to elaborate, which I love to do....

Silly is in the eye of the beholder, naturally.... I see a man who looks one way, sounds another, and is making the most profound psychological and emotional statement about human expectations and stereotypes.
This is living proof how someone can be passionate about two very different things -- 1) opera which takes incredible training and dedication and 2) being rough and tumble and incredibly strong, which takes hours in the gym building that amazing body.
Sometimes taking your shirt off is political, not silly.
So for me, this is brilliant and mind blowing.
Doesn't mean it isn't silly to you, of course!

My comment was not meant that seriously
