He is a countertenor.....
A countertenor is a natural male soprano. Not to long ago a young boy soprano would be castratred to preserve their voice past puberty. I know of several, but they are rare.
Whatever name you put on it, I've hardly heard such a beautiful voice and expertise even in female sopranos, and that's saying something.
These shows have become popular to the point where nearly every country has one. I enjoy them more than 'American's Next Pop Star'.
I love this Russian kid:

The song is 'Cuckoo', the theme from the movie 'The Battle of Savostopol' an old patriotic song. For us gun people the movie is about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the female sniper that killed 309 German soldiers in WWII.
Her name is Yaroslava Dectyaryova. She's older now, but when this was made she was 7. She was in a bad car accident when she was 5 and had to learn to walk again. She started singing soon after.
The blonde judge,Pelageya Khanova, is extremely talented in her own right and is one of the foremost interpreters of Russian folk music.
