That's a great story for that guy.

Forget that though, I think I'm in love with the woman on the middle of the judging panel. Who is she? If that's Britain's version of Paula Abdul then the Brits have us crushed on this one.

No...and not really even a countertenor. He just has a very well-developed falsetto/head voice...one of the best I've ever heard. But that low section disqualifies him from being a castrato.

That guy is very good. Here are a couple of other versions of that aria.
