Tenor. Very high range. Great control. Almost as though classically trained, but definitely pop/rock stylization and annunciation. Based on what I remember, I'd give the guy an A+ and would love to work with him if the opportunity presented.

Yes, it sounded as though he gave a crap. Very controlled.

Was it close to the vocals in the previous video?

Similar, Mr. acesn8s ... but only in the sense that they are both tenors. Your guy is more naturally "breathy" (of course, that could be the micking/production technique, but I don't think so). My guy is more like ... say ... Jon Anderson but not as thin on the high notes. More full and rounded than even say ... Robert Plant. Now, remember, I only heard this once in poor listening conditions ... but that's how I recall the vocal.

Ok. Good info. This guy has some new(er) music out that is less "breathy" but they are a rock/pop mix kind of band that uses a violin frequently.

What kind of beat was it? Could one slow dance to it? Or does it get the women to bounce their boobies to it? Was it even danceable?

Slowish tempo. Kind of a contemporary ballad. Would remind me of the old, progressive rock in a way ... ala early Genesis, Yes, King Crimson ... that symphonic rock. That's what I hear in my head ... again, I heard this one time in a supermarket produce section with babies crying and people talking and some old lady squeezing a honeydew.

We're talking about a song that had one (1) chord throughout the verse except for a single minor chord change at the end of the verse for, maybe, 4 beats to serve as a turn-around back to the root or original chord.

The melody was really nice and served as the primary vehicle ... you could almost imagine the guy singing acapella because he was working over this single, droning chord.

I didn't hear much percussion ... at least, it wasn't predominant. I might have heard strings or synth in the background to carry the sustains. I might have heard electric guitar. If there was acoustic guitar, I didn't hear it.

Let's see ... what else can I tell you? ... Actually, that's about all I can think of in terms of clues.

I can't wait to find out what the hell this song was.
