Nick Pitera Does “Little Mermaid | “Give Us Your Voice” Entry
Published on
Meet Nick Pitera. He’s participating in BroadwayWorld.com’s Give Us Your Voice contest. What’s he singing? A ditty once sung by an angst-ridden, teenaged mermaid from Disney’s Little Mermaid. Yes, ladies and gentleman, Mr. Pitera is singing “Part of Your World.”
Mind you, when I say he’s singing, I don’t mean he’s singing bass. Heck, he isn’t even a tenor. He’s gone for a soprano; he sounds almost exactly like Ariel did. In fact, if I hadn’t heard his introduction or seen the video as he sang, I wouldn’t have realized it was a man singing.
The guy has talent, and I can see him go far with it. Still, I did not expect that voice to come out of that mouth. And I wonder how his lady friends respond to this particular skill.

totally straight dude here and I was both fascinated and a little creeped out over both videos of nick’s. All 12-13 times Ive watched it. Creeped out a little but kept wondering all the time if it was lypsynch or digitally manipulated. This isnt Tay Zonday one trick pony interesting though. Pitera, if real, seems to really have a beautiful voice.
Viva el castrati.
Can you imagine that voice singing good songs instead of generic syrupy Disney sound tracks?
I just survived listening to Fergie rumble through Live and Let Die live on some online site and it was as bad and ackward and over-rehearsed and fake as anything youve ever seen ‘the industry’ vomit out (Eff U and your corporate Live 8 sellouts).
These two perforrmances by Pitera in that little sound booth renewed my faith that there still are some exceptional musicians, composers and singers out there as in every generation and that technology and the ease of disemination of online media through sites like Youtube will perhaps permit that talent to shine through.
Bravo Nick.
Use this wave of popularity that you are generating.
