Don't think so...

Christ knows when it comes to Cedric!

Speaking of possible A5s, there's Bobby Kimball... Jon Anderson claims he can't use falsetto and hits an A5 in "Owner of a Lonely Heart" at 2:52 but er... not convinced.

I presume that Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth doesn't have any full G5s? Highest full note (I am sure of) I've heard is E5-F5... Update his range in The Range Index! (Also update Freddy Curci!)

Curci is as tricky as Bixler...

I have no idea; I don't listen to Overkill at all, but I got his name and his C♯6 (and his interview B2) from Spydrfish back when we believed that all these guys could actually hit sixth octave notes in full voice. I updated his range in the range index according to what you said, cause I have no idea what his highest in full voice might be myself.

I'm with Ray on this one: I'm not exactly sure what to update his range as. Got any suggestions to start us off with?

**Timi** on Wed Dec 01, 2010 4:51 pm

Ooh, I thought you had idea about him more than me! Grin

Definitely not sure, I understand why it is hard to tell about him... Neutral

I gotta ask Spydrfish about it, it is really hard to tell about "Blitz" because he sings up there all the time!

I just remembered this video...

This is one a' them internet vocal teaching types, with a demonstration video of him hitting a Soprano C in full voice (he also said in comments that sometimes he can shortly hit a D6!)

So, whadderya think of it's fullness?

100% falsetto, technically he admits it while calling falsetto a "tone of the head voice register", though that isn't true.

**Timi** on Sat Dec 04, 2010 2:49 pm

Yup, 100% falsetto. (He does call them full but they aren't: there are almost no males out there who could hit soprano C (not sure if any?) and it would definitely be really strained and forced whereas that note wasn't at all, it was also really airy and falsettish) Still, that guy has got a good falsetto!

Chang Yu-Sheng in his prime maybe.

Yeah, probably the only guy out there who could do that. (Apart from possible high tenor living alone in a cottage far from mainstream hitting highs) Laughing

Curiosity on Sat Dec 04, 2010 6:39 pm

I know/knew a guy who probably could. He was the bassist in a band I was in a while ago. He had the highest voice I've ever heard on a man and could screamsing melodies way into the fifth octave. Shit singer though. Laughing

He looked like a woman as well, which I guess guys with high voices often tend to.

Curiosity on Sun Dec 26, 2010 1:57 am

Bonnet's G#5's are the highest full notes we've heard yet from a baritone, yeah?

**Timi** on Sun Dec 26, 2010 2:46 am

Yup, I guess so!

**That One Asian Guy** on Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:38 am

Lowest notes in full voice now go to Corey Taylor on "The Frozen"...whatever the hell it is he's hitting. Positively at least E1, most likely E♭1, and possibly even fucking D1...
