Singing until the glass breaks?

Is it possible for glass to break if you're singing at a high pitch (like in all those cartoons)?

ETA: Thanks for the info that mythbusters dealt with this. Is a video of this available online? I don't get Mythbusters where I am.

Yep, it's possible. Here's the Mythbusters video!

yes it is but the glass must resonate at the right frequency

mythbusters did this.

ethel merman did it

yes, i have seen this done in person by a man from my hometown.. He was also invited to prove this on the show Myth Busters...he seceded

Yes.

Yes, it is possible if your voice has a high frequency. I've never tried it myself lol if I did ..I would probably be successful lol

The glass has to be good crystal that can ring with good pitch ...

Shape of the glass makes a differencem, and you have to be able to sing loud and long enough at the right pitch to cause the glass to vibrate ...

But yes! Totally doable!

Yes, Gigli, Enrico Caruso and Mario Lanza were capable of shattering a wine glass due to the high notes they could reach.

Yes it is! And it's not really dependent on how high you sing. I have a guy friend in choir who is a baritone. He shattered a glass with his voice. It all depends on getting the glass to resonate at the right frequency. Put a drinking straw in the glass, and when it is resonating properly, the straw will stand up straight. This is your signal that the glass is about to break. Fine crystal works best for this. But who would want to shatter fine crystal? :)
