Vitas? Vitas?

Almost overnight, the music of Vitas, a Russian tenor (男高音), has become very popular on the Internet. People are fascinated by his dolphin-like voice and mysterious stories behind him.

Some of the most popular stories about him are both astonishing and unbelievable. He is the youngest singer to hold an individual concert in Kremlin (克里姆林宫). He is mysterious because he never accepts an interview with the media (媒体). So nobody knows what his true name is and where he lives. He stays in an underground room and comes out at dusk to create his music. When he sings, his voice can reach such a high degree that it’s hard to tell whether it is a man’s or a woman’s. His eyes are so attractive that you will certainly lose yourself in surprise when having an eye contact with him. He likes fish very much. Because of this, some people even guess that he might have a branchia (鳃) to be able to produce such a high voice. It is extremely unbelievable that he is also a fashion designer.

Last June, he stayed in Tibet (西藏) for three weeks. After hearing his songs, the monks from India were greatly shocked, saying that he might be the rebirth (转世) of a famous Indian poet, musician and philosopher (哲学家) in the eleventh century.

Are the stories about him true? Or are they just made up by his producers to attract people’s attention? Such questions may never be answered. But it is really a fact that his magnetic voice attracts millions of people!(from www.nmet168.com)

Vitas？Vitas！

仿佛一夜之间，俄罗斯男高音Vitas的音乐便在网络上悄然风靡，他以拥有不可思议海豚音以及绝美的姿态和隐藏在他背后神话般的故事颠倒众生。但在Vitas流传最广的几段故事里，有的竟几乎都是神秘的问号和惊叹号。

他是在克里姆林宫举办个唱的最年轻的歌手。他很神秘，因为他不接受任何媒体的采访。他的真名几乎没人知道，也没有人知道能在哪里找到他。他住在地下室，在黄昏的时候才像蜘蛛一样从棺材里爬出来开始创作。他的声音近乎天籁，浑然天成，高音部分雌雄难辨。他的眼神，如同鬼魅一般，瞬间就让你如中了咒语般失去抵抗能力。他特别喜欢鱼，所以有人猜测Vitas能飙那么高的音会不会因为他是有鳃的。最令人意想不到的是，他还是个服装设计师。

去年6月，Vitas前往西藏逗留了三周，来自印度的僧侣听了他的歌极为震撼，甚至说在他唱歌时宇庙里的东西都飞了起来，并称Vitas是印度十一世纪一个著名诗人、音乐家、哲学家的转世。

这个神秘的俄罗斯男高音歌手身后的真相的确如传闻中一般吗？会不会是他的制作人“炒作”出来的惊天大阴谋？我们或许永远找不到答案，但是，听到那声音的震撼感觉，却是如此真实的存在。
