Holy fuck that is an AMAZING voice. Absolutely incredible.

screw the voice, look at that hair

I find it hard to believe this is real. Not because he doesn't "look" like he could have that kind of voice, but because the sound of his voice is rock solid and extremely nuanced while the man is nowhere near the mic and constantly changing position. I could totally be wrong, but I don't think you get that kind of recording outside of a studio.

Edit: Awesome version of this song, whoever actually sang it.

I'm pretty sure I know why you don't think this is real (whether you're aware of it or not), and it has nothing to do with nuance. Play it again. (a) The voice does doppler as he moves to and from the mic; (b) There is not a single moment where the lips or Adam's Apple are not perfectly in sync with the recording (a near impossibility while lip-syncing, especially with this guy's idiosyncratic syncopation); (c) The acoustics in that auditorium are excellent (considering how loud the performers' snaps come through), which may explain the reduced dopplering that you experienced; (d) It is very unlikely that the mic in the video is the only device through which the recording was made, which again explains reduced doppler effect. I hate to call you out, but the unlikeliness of this guy's voice is what makes this so incredibly *promote-able.>> ^MaxWilder:

Hey wait - was that Rick Astley??

That was incredible. What a distinctive voice.

You're pretty sure of my deep inner beliefs? Pray tell, what are they?

Also, moving toward/away from a mic should cause change in volume, not a noticeable doppler effect. He would have to be running past the microphone for that to happen.

And since I explicitly said "I could totally be wrong" I see no need to defend my opinions, which are my honest opinions and I stand behind them after multiple viewings.

No one asked you to defend anything, bub. Didn't mean to pick a fight.

Ok... contradicting everything I said, claiming to know what I'm actually thinking is different from what I posted, and then using the phrase "call you out"... and you didn't mean to pick a fight? I think perhaps you need to consider your words a tiny bit more before hitting that "submit" button.

Disagreeing is not fighting, troll.

OMG, get the crazy off me...

It's real. Look at the mic. It's a multidirectional. He could be right up against it and it would sound the same. It's the same reason we can hear the backup singers so well.

I just wish the other singers weren't so damn loud. I wanna hear his voice more clearly and could give a shit about the other guys.
