I dated a countertenor in Chicago for a long time......damn his singing put me in rapture......was part of a very renowned (at the time) baroque singing group...........

As someone who was in All-State Choir here in TX this year, I'd like to share my opinion.
While yes, countertenor IS a legitimate vocal part, there are not enough true countertenors for TMEA to justify creating a countertenor category for competition. I think TMEA should allow people in such situations to sing the traditionally cross-gendered parts. Making state is a huge honor, and an amazing experience, which I think nobody who has the skills to make it should be denied, seeing how Texas' All-State organizations are consistently the best in the nation.
My one question about this specific case is whether or not he is good. Yes, he sings a rare voice part, however, I don't know whether he has the talent to make all state, or just has average talent and wants the publicity. However, as long as he doesn't audition for TII, I wish all the best for him.

To show my gratitude, I'll offer you this pointy black hat, which is just like the one Original Wicked Witch Margaret Hamilton wore in the movie!

What a great idea! How about throughout the play, you continue to offer me things like a black cloak, or a black
cape, or a broom to make me look more and more like Margaret Hamilton did! These attempts at humor will be painfully
predictable from a mile away!

First of all, I didn't read this article, but I read another article on it. The comment that women weren't allowed to sing tenor because it would hurt their voices is nuts. Often times tenor sings higher than alto, and I love how (in their theory) women aren't supposed to hurt their voices by singing too low, but a countertenor is supposed to sing lower than his range. Second of all, I know a countertenor who is singing professionally. There are professional all male choirs where they sing all vocal parts, using counter tenors as the sopranos. I don't think that they should just let this guy in without knowing if he actually is a GOOD male soprano, but I think he should have the right to try. I was in All-State choirs in Illinois, and here Soprano was a very competitive voice part for All-State. If he wants to put himself in a tougher category, then let him try. OK. I'm done with my rant.

I read this arictle and all I have to say is he won a competition as a soprano so that pretty much means he's good at it, let him sing the way he wants to sing. If a guy can sing that high god bless him. He has a gift. Let him show it off
