The main thing between tenor and mezzo-soprano and tenor is the gender of the singer! Tenors are male and mezzo-sopranos are female. In terms of absolute pitch there is quite a difference too as the female voice sings generally an octave above those of men. As far as the order of voice types go, a mezzo-soprano lies between the highest general category of female voices, the soprano and the lowest, the alto. Bridging the gap between female and male voices is the counter-tenor (a male voice type) who sings in falsetto and has cross over in range with the bottom of the female range (and, in fact, much of the female range when the counter-tenor, or even, male-soprano has an extreme extension at the top). Below counter-tenor lies the tenor, the highest of the "full voice" male voice types.
