Maxwell raises a question

[<gearnoise@VNET.IBM.COM>]

I videotaped the Maxwell Unplugged show on MTV last week (while I was
out), then played it a few times.  Got a little tired of watching his
eyes and fingers dribbling up and down with the notes, and realized
about all I liked were his cover of TWW and his closing song/antics.
Then played Maxwell and KaTe's TWW back-to-back a few times.  KaTe still
wins of course, but Maxwell IS good on that one.

The question I have (and this comes from someone with no musical training
or talent (the only musical instrument I play is the stereo)), is, on
TWW (and only considering TWW), would you call Maxwell's voice a
falsetto or a countertenor?  Please, no need to dredge up castrati here.

Thanks,
