YAWAI!
They're called countertenors. They aren't especially common, but they're out there. This fella used his talent for the Aladdin side. Rendered Brad Kane AND Lea Salonga redundant. XD |

| They could do smth with his vocal cords, but this is not very interesting to the public. A lot more exciting is to believe that he is a fishman. Well, as long as there is no harm in believing this... |

...But apparently, my grandmother couldn't.
I showed some of Vitas's videos to my parents. Word got out to my grandmother, who looked him up for herself. Apparently, she saw the Opera No. 2 video in which he wore prosthetic gills. Alas, I wasn't privy to the conversation as it happened, but from the sounds of it she really thought he might actually have gills.  |

He's just an ordinary guy with extraordinary vocal skills. Gills is another invention of music producers to spark public interest.  Nobody seems to believe them much, however... |

Oh, yes... the "gills."
He actually has gill prosthetics in this music video.
I don't see anything odd on his neck in that Wikipedia picture; just the normal skin creases that appear when one's head is turned that way.
One thing about him... he so reminds me of how much I need to practice!  |

OMG!!!!!! *laughing hard, because found something VERY familiar* It's our singer Vitas. His producer/manager has invented a "legend" to promote him: according to it, Vitas has got gills along with lungs, as if he were a 'fish-man', which allows him to sing like he does (the legend actually has been borrowed from a book of a russian writer, Alexander Beliaev "Amphibian Man", the main protagonist's name Ichtiandr has been also borrowed as another stage-name of Vitas). And... you can defenitely see something on his neck...
Yeah, he's got a unique voice here, I've heard he is veryveryvery popular in China.
If you are interested, here you go. |
