I didn't notice any belting in "Oklahoma" ( as I recall ). I can remember a beautiful head voice and very good taste in vibrato ( mostly when compare to other ADULT country singers ). And his delivery is touching: he expresses feeling without imitating cliched adults. I was and am still amazed! I looked for his cd in the local stores here today but I couldn't find any. I think I'll have to get it from the US ( which means 60% of importation tax...aarrghh ).

That's what I meant above. And it's funny to see him wearing braces during zoom-in closes. They don't try to sell him as a singing dwarf ( what's common in Brazil: singing children behaving like adults. I can't even stand a child behaving like a child! ).
