Big fucking deal. Mariah Carey's vocal range is more than twice as big as Freddie's. Several other famous singers had bigger vocal ranges than Freddie's. 3 octaves and a half isn't like a hell of a lot. But a larger vocal range doesn't mean "better voice". If that was the case, every guitar with 24 frets would be necessarily better than any guitar with 22 or 21 frets. Roger's vocal range is bigger than Brian's, but there are many people who prefer Brian's voice. And, this is off topic, but Freddie's dick was probably bigger than Mika's. If you watch any full Queen gig from the 70s, you can see Big Fat Freddie. Now, when has anyone ever seen Big Fat Mika? Or maybe Small Soft Mika...? Think about it. Not that I have anything against Mika. I'm just pointing out that even if his vocal range is bigger than Freddie, that doesn't mean his cock is bigger too. It also doesn't mean that Mika is a "better" singer. Specially because it would be a matter of taste anyway. |

Mika does not have a 5 octave range voice. Do you know how large a 5 octave range voice is? Nobody on the planet has a 5 octave range voice. NOBODY. Freddie's range was indeed 3.5 octaves. It is very large, but not the largest for a male singer. But as others have said, there are many other attributes of the voice that is as important as range such as tone. Mika to me is not a great singer. He's not even good. It's because his tone is not that good. |

O, give me a break - it IS possible to have a five octave vocal range. Some people on THIS VERY PLANET have that and more. But... How does Mika have a 5-octave range ? I have heard nothing to demonstrate this. I haven't heard any really castrato notes, nor have I heard ANY, for that matter, which sound like one might need to be in possession of testicles to get them out. Obviously, if he has even a range that extends even a little, he's not showing it off (at least that I've heard). This is like when that one person insisted Freddie had an eight octave range - and another time when another person claimed that "Killer Queen" would take a three-octave range voice to sing. I really think there are people in this world who don't know shit about music, but continue to foist their uneducated opinions on others (what's new ?). Innocent mistake once, maybe, but after you've been yelled at about not knowing shit about vocal ranges - it's best not to come back to the same people and do it again. If someone can provide me with "proof" that Mika can either sing off the bottom of the piano or squeak like a cat in heat - I'll believe it. But this seems like just more trash. |

Even if Mika does have better range (which I am guessing he doesn't), what difference does it make? Freddie had a way better voice and could put expression into his lyrics. Mika cannot put expression in his music like that if his life depended on it. Also, Freddie's sexy, and Mika's not. But I think we all know that. :P |

Yup of course it's possible to sing in a 5-octave vocal range. However judging that someone (a man) set a record at six I highly doubt Mika's vocal range is at five octaves. Anyway as has been said countless times big vocal ranges do NOT equal good singers. |

The Asassinator wrote: For the experts.. in what octave is the song "Over My Shoulder" by Mika? link this is the demo version of the song. Oh btw... hi allThe higher notes appear to be around A4 - the A under Tenor C and above Middle C. There was also the F under this, and the B right below Middle C. I did not check every note. Here's the piano frequencies with notes, to avoid confusion : link The song is pretty much in the range above Middle C, but below Tenor C - a regular Tenor or even Baritenor range (the A), though not dipping into the lower range. To compare with Freddie (since that's so popular), in "Pain is so Close to Pleasure" - he is around this A a lot - though he goes up to at least Tenor C at points (and even the D above). I think the opening bit starts and stops on the A. I don't know, I was opening a new CD when I was recording. And, for the 70s, the "Risky" in "In the Lap of the God's Revisited" is an A# or A or something. I'm not testing this particularly scientifically, though - I'm just "singing" along and checking pitches. So, if I've messed up, please forgive me. But I'm sure it's at least very close because I've done this before and it agreed with everyone else. :P O - by the way, these notes are such that most guys should be able to hit them in falsetto. A Tenor (or Baritenor - at least the "A") should be able to get them in head voice. The octave "4" above middle C is one that generally all humans can sing in, so - especially in falsetto, I don't find an A above middle C to be really unusual or impressive. Now, doing it "pretty" like in "In the Lap of the God's Revisited" is a little more something. |

I've heard claims of her going lower in concert, but I have no idea - I never really listened to her, so if someone knows more, they can step in. I agree that by classical standards - it's not happening. The contenders certainly need amplification - especially in the lower range, and the squeaky-shrieks aren't considered "musical". But if you go by just "noises someone can make" - that's different. |

Not that I really care about any of this stuff, but I'd just like to point something out. These are POP ARTISTS. By definition, they are making music that is easy to listen to and doesn't take a lot of effort musically to sing or to think about. There are a very few pop singers who can release successful pop albums while showing off their vocal range...consumers of pop music are generally too musically ignorant to appreciate the variety and talent that takes. Mariah Carey and Whitney Huston are some exceptions, but they can get away with it because they are generally singing a more gospel style to their pop, which allows for that. The dance type pop that Mika does is a type that does not really allow for a lot of vocal creativity, it's about being able to dance to it, thus, it's about the beat. Mika may indeed have a 5 octave range, since he was classically trained as a singer. But Opera is the place to show that off, not pop. Just because he hasn't done it on an album doesn't mean he can't...keep in mind he's constrained by genre. |

Big vocal range doesn't mean good singer, neither small range means bad singer. Get over it. A 5 octave range is inhuman. Unless you're counting falsetto voice too, but it's still much too crazy. With falsetto I have an almost 4 octave range, without falsetto, I'm 3 octave. And that is actually pretty big, but that's because I can reach very low notes (Db1 is my bottom note). Voices with large vocal ranges, are most likely to be low voices that can also reach very high notes. For example, Robin Gibb. He is a baritone, though you will hear him sing REALLY high most of the time... but when he sings low, his voice doesn't lose any strenght or deepness, he sings with ease any song. And that is what makes you a tenor or a baritone, in this case. Being a "pop" singer (and that includes rock and pretty much any style that's not opera) is WAY TOO DIFFERENT from being an opera singer. The mechanisms are just completely different. |

I too think big vocal range doesn't mean a good singer. The point is there are also other elements we can find about the great singers. Indeed, Freddie's wasn't too big. But his voice showed much variety even in his earlier career, sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, malicious, funny, pompous (and always sexy! :D)...we may need some more adjectives to describe his vocals and very often some of those are mingled in one song. Moreover his vocals have something to touch and uplift one's heart. I think that's one of the reasons he's been appreciated as one of the greatest singers. As for Mika...I've found his voice amazing, and especially as to Grace Kelly his vocals are funny. But well, I'm not sure yet about his other possibility as a singer. I think he has something special though. Maybe, he hasn't yet had a chance to show his other possibility of his voice due to his music genre and he's just made his debut. |

Matias, when we talk about someone's vocal range, don't we count all the notes that the artist sounds good at, including falsettos? I always thought Freddie's 3 and a half octaves included his falsettos. The link I provided seems to count Mariah's falsettos. |

However, pop singers are most likely to be tenors... so with a vocal range of 2 octaves, you've pretty much nailed most of the songs of any group. Let's say... from D2 to D4. It's not an incredibly big range but it's in the right place. That's what really matters about this range thing. Having a large range doesn't make you a good singer, just allows you to sing more songs than a person whose range is shorter than yours... and that's it. That's how far it goes. |
deleted user 16.05.2007 15:58 |
I agree - that's what I was trying to say in some post I made a long time ago... :P It really depends on what you count as "range". Classically, falsetto doesn't count. THEN AGAIN - it would for "counter-tenors" (which can have a baritone base) and coloratura sopranos. :/ I would say Freddie actually did have a fairly big range - the same way I would say someone with an IQ of 140 has a fairly high IQ. Just because someone might have an IQ of 160 or 300 doesn't mean that 140 isn't high. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT MR. MERCURY WASN'T WHISTLING HIS RANGE. Freddie, to my knowledge, never used "whistle register" - which I think makes his range more "impressive". For instance, if a girl could sing from C3-C6 in chest and head voice, this would be the same range as Freddie from F1-F4 - three octaves. Really excellent. "That girl", even if she could get in two more octaves would pretty much have to use "whistle register" to attain much more. So, really - Freddie's range is, in my mind, comparable to Ms. Carey's - on the grounds that her chest and head voice can't (or couldn't have been) be much more than three octaves. Perhaps if Freddie were trained, he could do some fancy canary magic to whistle up his range. But as it stands, I think that three octaves without falsetto is great - and comparable to "the best". |

What exactly does vocal range show? A mathematical equation of notes? As a vocalist, Pete Townshend may have a two octave range, and he uses more emotion in a phrase than Mariah Carey and her 27 octave range does in her entire catalogue. People get too hung up on range for vocalists, and speed for guitarists. People who sing and plat for the song are always better artists in the pop world, as the song is king, not the show-offy aspects of the song. |

Is technically impossible for a person to have a 5 octave range... WITHOUT FALSETTO. With falsetto... it's still nonsense to me. Can you imagine? Let's say we have Db1 as the bottom note, just like me. How high can I go? Let's say Db4, I can reach that note without falsetto... and it's pretty high. Let's say F4, that's actually VERY high for a person like me, who has Db1 as the bottom note. Then, how high can you go before your head vioce starts going falsetto-esque? I'd say F4, G4. Going higher is actually going into a vocal range that is out of a man's logical range, that's when it stops (and turns into falsetto). And we didn't even got a 4 octave range on that example. So let's say we have A0 as the bottom note. It's VERY unlikely that a lower voice like that could even reach a high C. Then again, let's say we have a higher voice, with G1 as the bottom note. Can that voice go over the G4? Yes, of course, but it starts going falsetto-esque. It's no use, it's a dead end. And the same goes for women... women can't reach very low, but can go very high... anyway, it's the same principle, but this one is higher. A 5 octave vocal range is technically illogical. |

I like it how people are using themselves as examples of why there can't be a 5 octave range. Those people who use whistle tones and ridiculously low grunts to notes in 5 different octaves.... they do exist. However - does it count as range if you can't hit all the notes in between? (I saw someone like that once). |

There is a strange obsession on here about this 'Mika' bloke. To be honest I heard him just to see what all the fuss was about, and couldn't stand him. His voice was not powerful neither did it speak to me. Also his piano playing was quite lacklustre. Surely it wouldn't kill him to hit a few more keys. I just felt that my opinions had to be voiced on this subject. |
