Are they counter tenors, falsetists or sopranist? (what's the difference?, could you give me an example of each one of this voices?- maybe a youtube link). Thanks.
PS: I'm sorry if I made any spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.

I think I have the right to ask this question as much as I want to while I dont violate any rules. If Im not satisfied with the answer, I'll post it again. If that bothers you, feel free to answer another question, I think I can live without your answers, nobody is forcing you.

tenors are male singers who sing high, falsetists ( i don't know how to spell it either lol) are people who will sing really high and sort of airy. Sopranos are women who sing high. Sorry if this is unhelpful, but from my old choir days this is sort of what I remember.

Philippe (please note spelling) Jaroussky is a male soprano (a 'sopranist', apparently, although in 30 years in the music business, I've never heard that term until very recently - sounds like marketing-speak to me!). Andreas Scholl is a countertenor and his range is that of a female (contr)alto voice.
Both are 'falsettists' (another bogus word), or rather, male singers that sing in their 'falsetto' or 'head' voice but they have a different range, that's all.
Errrm - you can search for the YouTube links yourself, surely.
Oh yes - and how many more variants of this question are you going to post?
