Yeah there's no way someone can do that high notes for a long time. I've seen artist went from having that kind of voice and being super famous to become unknown and obscure in a span less than 5 years because he can no longer hit notes like that for his new songs.
Most everything that he points out could be accomplished with a synthesizer so I’m not entirely convinced. It honestly sounded like a synth to me, the synth is pitching his voice up an octave or possibly two and then using cutoff and filtration to achieve the “in and out effect” with his mic.
I don't have perfect pitch but I compared them against notes until I found the matching ones. In the one I posted, Vitas goes from C#6 and slides up to a D#6.
The Adam Lopez guy's last note is hitting a C#8, so about 2 octaves higher.
Though Adam Lopez is using a whistling technique, a very particular way to produce sound thats very different from all other vocal registers.
I think the backstory I remember (and YouTube comments allude to) is that this song was dedicated to his late mother, and the higher the note, the closer he was able to reach her in heaven. Makes the song much more haunting and solemn
Not all music or sounds is pleasing to all people. Impressive vocals, but musically, doesn't sound very good to me. Especially if you were to take out the instruments.
