He's probably right, he probably will win (vincero). However, hate to piss on the parade, but at fifteen he shouldn't be singing Nessun Dorma. Those top Bs before he's ready for them will leave him with no voice by the time he's 40, if not 30.
ETA: Maybe I'm wrong, that wasn't the original key, was it? Maybe they weren't top Bs. My sense of pitch isn't awake today.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
