Male soprano

I'm a pretty crappy singer myself, and don't listen to opera, but I came across this guy while searching wikipedia for voice types:

What a freaky dude!!! Apparently his larynx hardly changed at all during puberty, so he's the closest thing we have to a castrato today (sans the extra-close ball-cumcision 😲!!). He sings soprano parts in full voice, as opposed to countertenors who sing using their falsetto range. For an audio/video sample, go here:

You can search YouTube for another clip of Michael discussing his voice (misplaced the link). He sounds like Julia Child! Lol 🙄

Can't check this link at work, but is this the one of Michael discussing his voice, or a link to Julia Child warbling like a giant chicken?
