The look on his face when he finished and the orchestra was wrapping up said it all. He absolutely nailed that performance and knew it.

Moot point. General opera singers don't appreciate the vocal placement of songs adored by "general public." Knock thee off thouest own high horse.

[@EJDoesEverythingBetter]

@@churchofgod4016 As an opera singer and vocal recital singer I can tell you this is BS. I can reach the 6th octave soprano high C on a good day, something no male pop singer in the current general lineup is capable of. The placement in pop music at its most extreme is nothing beyond the lowest of intermediate tenor opera repertoire. Any of the falsetto singing that male pop singers produce sounds horrible in comparison to male voices that actually train their falsetto. The best male voice type that currently works in that range is Sam Smith, and ole Sam had to have vocal surgery because of how poorly executed his falsetto range was, and even then he never went higher than a very thin sounding F5, which is where many Mozart tenor works reach to (look up William Matteuzzi to hear some of them performed). While I am an operatic singer, I am a rock tenor for the Murray State University Commercial Music Ensemble (the university's rock band that performs for all their big events such as homecoming etc.). Rock music is way harder to sing than pop is, and I do both for them. My operatic works are significantly harder, and take years of training to do properly. Moot point. Knock thee off thouest own high horse.

[@hiyadroogs]

He held the B natural for almost 4 seconds. An average hold. The note is actually written to be merely touched upon before descending, but tenors with easy tops over the last 60 years have made it almost traditional to hold it longer. It fits with the piece to hold it, because it is a bravura aria of triumph, & any tenor who sings it as written today would be wrongly accused of being frightened of the note. Kaufmann made a reasonable effort here.

[@enobongakpan3074]
