[@alessandrofontecombes5738]

enes doğan he* I believe you're using female pronouns because of his character on Glee, but he's not trans in real life.

[@SlimShaney08]

He is just amazing

[@rebeccapodevin5638]

Now THAT'S singing!!!!

[@OumyNeferti]

No darling THAT is SANGIN !!! :-)

[@lipstickgirl11]

Thank you, Alex, for the gift of your amazing voice.

[@a.j.caberto5897]

Alex inspires me so much!!! He should be in Broadway.

[@Probablylani]

Check him out in “Once On This Island.”

[@DongHyunify]

One of the few male sopranos

[@chadguindon6909]

He is NOT a Soprano. Yes, he may be able to belt F5 and G5 but that doesn't make him a Soprano. His natural and comfortable range is Tenor. Don't get me wrong, he is indeed amazing!!!!!

[@garyhofman2244]

Counter Tenor*

[@ulissesoliveira6836]

Chad Guindon No tenor is able to hit G5 in modal register! Alex Newell sings in the same tessitura of a mezzo-soprano He's a countertenor.

[@chadguindon6909]

Ulisses Oliveira You didn't understand the point I was making. The thing is that he sounds more natural when he sings Tenor....There is a lot of warmth. His really high notes are great and has a great range but should keep most of it in Tenor where he is most comfortable. Also, Countertenors don't belt. They sing in a falsetto or head voice which is more suitable for classical music. He is just a high Tenor with extension. I know because I have the same problem. I'm a high Tenor and can reach the high notes of a Mezzo-Soprano!!!!

[@Too2ManyLuvas]

Chad Guindon Alex doesn't have a problem (not one at all), when it comes to his vocals. You can label all day and night, it means nothing. I haven't heard any one sing like that, low to high, from soft to bellowing, but not losing any effect,since Whitney in her best years. Alex has a one of a kind voice, a one in a trillion trillion trillion. It can't be defined. It just is and it's the best out there. Period.

[@chadjariya1108]

He's incredibly talented! Massive power with amzing delicate vocal control.

Now that's an anthem! Wonderful voice of Alex Newell. Song from Hairspray the musical by Marc Shaiman and Scott Whittman.

[@LizinLouie]

I meant no disrespect! Alex plays a Transgender character on Glee who identifies as 'She'. Whatever pronouns Alex prefers personally; A huge talent and a great representative for the LGBTQ Community. You go, Alex!!

[@pikapikajuu4396]

There's a light in the darkness Though the night black as my skin There's a light burning bright showing me the way But I know where I've been There's a cry in distance It's a voice that comes from deep within There's a cry asking why I pray the answer's up ahead yeah 'Cause I know where I've been There's a road we've been travellin' Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty With the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win And there's pride in my heart 'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do And I know where I've been, yeah There's a road that we must travel There's a promise that we must make Oh the riches will be plenty Oh the dream in the future Oh the struggle we must win Use that pride in our heart To lift us up Lord knows i know Where I've been
