I never said he *had* to change it I just said to grow testicles as a way of making it clear that I'm not personally a fan of guys who sing with that kind of piercing quality. It's not so much that he sounds like a woman it's more that he sounds like a man *trying* to sound like a woman and that just makes me shudder. I realize that he can't change his voice physically but that doesn't mean I have to be accepting of the idea that that's what his voice sounds like. I just don't like it.Cory Chapinhttp://www.facebook.com/cory.chapin.31noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-22458035027117784482013-04-10T17:03:18.691+01:002013-04-10T17:03:18.691+01:00He would have been a male coloratura soprano if he...He would have been a male coloratura soprano if he sang using an operatic falsettoJevon Saundershttp://www.facebook.com/people/Jevon-Saunders/100002615835749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-20209656528496021522013-03-28T21:37:42.751+00:002013-03-28T21:37:42.751+00:00"Grow testicles, brother".

Chris Colfer's voice makes me absolutely cringe. I say this as a proud gay man myself: I am all for effeminate men and find Drag Queens to be an absolute blast but the sound of a man singing like a woman just makes my blood curdle. Grow testicles, brother, you're supposed to be a dude. Also, I've seen Glee a handful of times and it just kills me that all these Gleeks (which is apparently a euphamism for simpleton) go on and on about their "eargasms" at watching him perform. He has ZERO stage presence and in fact his facial expressions and vocal delivery make him all but unwatchable at best and laughably horrific at worst. Alright, there, it's all out now.

They come in a variety of flavors and timbres. So Chris Colfer can never be an actual contralto since these are by definition female vocalists. Hence he is a "countertenor" and not a "contralto." As a rule, counters tend to have light voices but there are weighty dramatic variants, too. Colfer is of the lighter group, however. Hence it is possible for dark, heavy female voice to be heard as thicker and weightier than the voice of a countertenor. However, it is important to remember that each voice and voice type can have a different color throughout the range. The bottom notes for a countertenor tend to sound very mannish, thicker but still relatively lightweight and they tend to lighten up quickly as they move up the scale. Contraltos tend to have a thick sound until they begin to mix with their head voice. Most of the counters I know sing usually between D3 to G5 for their central tessitura, but some select ones sing up into the sixth octave and can hit whistle notes. As a group, they are definitely a rare breed -- especially since many of their full head notes have a rounded quality different from pure falsetto singing.Sparklilunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-77324291911772095882013-01-17T06:10:52.116+00:002013-01-17T06:10:52.116+00:00Her is obviously in the Contralto range as a color...Her is obviously in the Contralto range as a coloratura contralto masquerading as a contra-tenor/countertenor. what I find peculiar is that his pitch is higher than most real female contraltos I've heard like Adele, Toni Braxton and Rihanna. But you can still hear tenor when he dips down into his lower range. his upper register is remarkable. these are probably the only male voices above tenor that could develop the whistle registerJevon Saundershttp://www.facebook.com/people/Jevon-Saunders/100002615835749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-24209021955144489372013-01-02T04:03:30.560+00:002013-01-02T04:03:30.560+00:00He doesn't emote at all...There needs to be a ...He doesn't emote at all...There needs to be a balance between emotion and technique...and gosh is his attitude horrible...I can go on and on about him.....But I love this dude at the same time.....He's like...amazingly stupid and when you see stupidity on such a grand level...you just marvel in admiration at it...Black Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-17772892130942257202013-01-01T05:40:24.102+00:002013-01-01T05:40:24.102+00:00Primohomme is more spinto than dramatic.
