Jorve, Are you kidding? Michael Bolton can't hit tenor high notes!? Check any of his songs, almost in each of them he gets above tenor C easily. You probably thought it's not high because he hits that notes easily so it sounds natural.

I am going to have to call shennanigans on this one, as I have seen Michael Bolton in concert. Moreover, I saw Michael Bolton in concert with Kenny G. While you might not classify his voice as baritone, he is definitely not a tenor in the truest sense of the word, i.e. his vocal range. Baritone, in this context, was used to classify him as a mid-range vocalist, able to hit both low and high notes, but not the extremes of bass and tenor voices. "Deep" in this context was meant to convey the husky nature of his singing. He often seems to growl out his vocals, so the adjective "deep", for me, conveyed the sense that he had to dig down to find those notes, or perhaps the feelings behind the notes. I appreciate your clarification of what must have been misconstrued as my lack of familiarirty with Michael Bolton's work. As a matter of fact, I am painfully familiar with his work. Hoep you enjoy the show, and I apologize for any mix-ups regarding voice classification. Cheers...

"Deep baritone"? Looks like Michael Bolton has a chance to bring his piercing high voice to new fans in Shanghai, fans who've never heard his voice before. A rare chance indeed.
