Can somebody explain how someone can sing like this

I remember back when I was but a young child growing up in the '70s.  One of my favorite groups back then (and now) was the BeeGees.  Imagine my shock when I found out they were dudes!

Ya know...I think a person can listen to something like the Boys Choir of Harlem and they'd be able to tell that they are boys/males in spite of the falsetto.  If I were to hear this guy on the radio, you would not be able to convince me that it was a guy.

As a gradeschooler I but was a good singer, but my voice changed as I started high school and my voice changed terribly. I tried to sing in church choir several times but gave up. A very good new director kindly worked with me, and helped a lot, and I took a couple years of voice lessons. While I still have to work very hard on pitch control, I have now been with our choir for over twenty years. I still cannot falsetto, though.

I've wondered from time to time if there might be hope for a lost singing voice. Thanks for confirming that there is, Don.

Mine is so bad now I can't even sing along with music in the company of myself, I can't stand my own voice.

I'm truly happy that you have been able to return to the church choir, and I mean that from the heart.

As a kid, I thought everyone could sing. I had perfect pitch and the whole keedaddle. I took it for granted and was not smart enough to realize it was gift until it was gone. Like so many things in life, I suppose.

It is falsetto. I spent most of my middle and high school years in choir, and in high school I could do this with no effort. (and yes, I mean after my voice had already changed). I was booked as an alto my freshman year, presumably because gool 'ol Mr Hoover was short on altos, and because I could. :)

I'm very sad to have lost even my basic singing ability at such a young-old age, but my opinion is this is no big deal and no cause at all for amazment.

There you go. Right on! There are many out there. Just have to hear them.

Excellent example.

Hi !

    This young Man can really sing that way. I was with an agency for eight years. Why? I had the training needed to go from Loretta Lynn/Dolly parton voice style to Tennesee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash mode as well. Much in between in Spoken Voice overs.

        It took over ten years of training for me. But I started young, in a group of Choirs. I never thought it would ever be a career though. Commercials are a lot different that just standing up there on America's Got Talent and doing it.

 I think Mr Pomoy will go a long way if he seriously wants to. But BEFORE he ruins his ability he should get a super Good Voice Coach or he'll ruin it ! My ability was one I capitalized on to help put my Wife through college. Geez ! !  Medical Schools are Expensive!

I believe he is singing falsetto.  A male can do it, but it takes training.   Most tenors who try it, myself included, cannot hold the pitch.  The King Singers choral has a great falsetto.  Listen to some of their pieces- he is not noticable in all their works, but is sure evident in some of them.

He is not lip syncing. He was on Americas Got Talent on Monday which would not permit lip syncing. It's almost as if he has a male voice and a female voice.

Amazing, or he is really good at lipsyncing and making it look like he is really singing, which is also amazing. I'm opting for the first amazing though. WOW

Choir boys perhaps?

But I don’t go to church.  And personally I like Judas Priest’s Rob Halford’s sonic wail better.
