what exactly do you need "heeelp" with?

Conflicting gender ambiguousness and poor choice of clothing...

Too bad his career will end when he reaches puberty.
I am perfectly normal, it is everyone else who is strange.

Boy sings difficult repertoire
Reply #5 on: December 17, 2008, 09:08:27 AM
Spend the time, training, discipline, perseverence to reach the excellence that this young man has achieved.  Since you asked for help - does that help?  He's a boy.  He has a treble voice because he is a boy. When he reaches puberty he will have a man's voice.  So?  Oh yeah - and courage. And not hung up on stereotypes such as popular choice of clothing.  Sheesh.  Prioritizing, maybe?

That´s the reason I´m impressed aswell, or I wouldn´t post it.  :D The help is more of desperate claim of my own selfcensorship and how young peoples talent never ceases to evoke a sense of jelousness in me.  :'(  But they could have skipped the ledhosen.... But maybe it makes sense in the context.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. I do like the Lederhosen, though.  Something about childhood and roots.  ;)

Glad you clarified that, Petter.

This kid is a prodigy!  A boy soporano pulling off such a wonderful feat.  Queen of the Night aria is a frightening test for a full-grown, experienced operatic soprano.

The lederhosen are appropriate.  Probably an Austrian kid singing the aria of a great Austrian composer.

Current repertoire:  "Come to Jesus" (in whole-notes)
