Falsetto

yep that was mentioned sometime ago.
A counter tenors are singers(usually a low, bass or baritone) who trained his falsetto to the strength and vocal power of a real, full voice. However, this is a rather rare class of singers and are not commonly found.
However, counter-tenors aren't the only ones who sing in falsetto. Male voices of all ranges sing in falsetto, depending on the song's requirements. I sing in falsetto about 10% of the time or in semi-falsetto or head voice. Most of the time, we try to sing in our falsetto peaks which is the range that our falsetto is the strongest, it's normally just above your real voice range. That's the natural, strong range of falsetto that we have without training like counter-tenors do.
Another use of falsetto is to "mark" your voice. I'm not sure if I got that word right, but basically it's to bybass throat tension. When singers are preparing for a concert or having a sore throat, we cannot sing out that much. So to hit high notes that requires alot of technique, we use falsetto which is much easier to sing during rehearsal. The tone is crap but at least we don't damage our voice by over singing.
hope that clears the confusion,

it does sound like a falsetto does it?
but she uses the "falsetto" with her head voice.
so i'm not sure whether her high ranges are falsetto per se...
unless you're referring to her superhigh parts; which surprisingly isn't falsetto either
she uses a very well-founded whistle register
diff part of the cords vibrating
