I love eBaum's world but I hate it when they caption their videos ignorantly. This one is titled: "Most annoying male voices ever" -- No doubt by someone who's never heard of Mozart nor "The Magic Flute"

I was quite impressed by his control. Sure, he's got that "kid's voice" quality to it because he's a KID! That was extra awesome.

I know that was crazy I was like wait till he hit puberty and he can't hit that anymore. He was good.

I hope that kid wears a lot of armor to school. He's got plenty of guts... and talent... and about 2 more years of hitting those notes at best (speaking as a recovering boy soprano myself)... and a (former?) Queen of the Night as well!

A bit flat and his coloratura doesn't do those runs justice at all, and he's not breathing to the right place, but good on him for having a go.

Mozart is lovely no matter whos singing it

Tim, you're being sarcastic right?

Haha I used to be able to hit those notes.

No of course not!

As I said, good on him for doing the aria, but put him up against someone like Luciana Serra and there's no contest.

Ooh, he's going to hurt himself. Reminds me of myself when I was younger. Hopefully, he'll stop once his voice changes or else he'll regret it later.

Not too bad, though.

He's just a little kid mon. It was cute.

For a little BOY he sounds amazing - that you are even trying to compare him to someone like Serra, Tim is ridiculous. Shame on you!

That said, I can't believe they made that poor kid sing that.

But it's fun! I sing it all the time :P Hopefully he's at some special thing and it's not for his school.

This kid is amazing. B12b is right. He has a couple of years at most to do such things.
I knew a kid who had a similar voice at 11. (I never heard him sing Mozart, though.) Now, he's 6'2" and a bass/baritone.

Wow. That was...creepy. Good, but creepy.

That said, I went to a K-12 school growing up. In elementary school, there was this kid who was one of the star boy sopranos of the NY City Opera (played Amahl, etc.). When we got to high school, we did a musical together and he turned out to be the worst tenor ever.

If only I could hit those high notes...

He was good, but that high voice won't stay with him for long.

Oh eBaum's world...
