For me, the problem is that this is a contrast I'd rather not experience.
I generally don't want to hear boy vocalists.  The only music I recall
liking them in was a Pink Floyd song where they sing sentences like,
"Teachers leave us kids alone".  Let's not forget that time honored
thought:  children should be seen and not heard.  But, my grandson does
not share that view - he talks a mile a minute.
