About Vitas!!

This is Vitas he is the most amazing singer in the whole entire world. He is a male soprano that can also be a tenor. I am not sure what the name for that is, but it is totally awesome!!! This is a little information about him and his life.

Early life and success
Vitas was born Vitalii Vladasovich Grachov on February 19, 1981 in Latvia. He first appeared in Russia in December of 2000 with his hit Opera #2, which was notable for use of Vitas' surprisingly high-pitched and energetic countertenor voice.
He has a brother Vladislav Mironich (Bладислав Mиронич) from the same father living in Tbilisi, Georgia born July 5, 1980.

2002-2003: Rise to fame
He had his solo concert at the State Kremlin Palace which has established a record, playing to packed house on March 29, 2002, having been the youngest artist to perform there. Vitas got an invitation from Lucio Dalla, the composer, who created "In Memory of Caruso", to perform this famous song together with the author at the concert "San Remo in Moscow" held in the State Kremlin Palace. Vitas’ voice enchanted not only the audience but Mr. Dalla himself. So the composer invited Vitas to come to Rome to take part in the rehearsals of "Toska", the modern version of the legendary opera.

Vitas presented his second solo program "The Songs of My Mother" in the Concert Hall "RUSSIA", Moscow in November 2003. Two albums: "The Songs of My Mother" and "Mama" of the artist were released for the premiere. The album "The Songs of My Mother" included the songs which are considered to be the gold reserves of Russian pop-music. Another album "Mama" included only the new songs composed by Vitas. In March 2003 he gave 264 solo concerts in places including Russia, Australia, U.S., Canada, Israel, Germany, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Belarus.

I personally have heard some facts about Vitas, but I am not sure if they are 100 percent accurate. This is what I heard: He speaks many languages including English (I have actually heard him sing in English. It was the song Blue suede shoes by Elvis. In my opinion he sounds better in Russian.) He is really popular in China and has done many concerts there. Vitas has been to the United States and done performances, but not in Utah unfortunately, at least I don't think he has. Vitas is not married and is only 26 years old.

Wow he is pretty amazing!! I heard him from my friend Alyssa (who I have talked about before.) She heard it from a friend and so on. So now I am leaving it up to you to tell you friends about Vitas. That would be totally awesome if Vitas preformed in Utah. I would totally go and watch him. Tell me what you think of him. Do you think he is cool? weird? amazingly talented? Leave a comment and let me know or just to the poll. Keep on checking my blog for cool new features on Vitas. If you want to see more of Vitas's videos just go on to you tube and search for him there.
