Significant Low Notes:???


This is my first entry and my first time note watching so some of this info may be incorrect but its most likely in the ball park. Huey strains almost all his highs and he also seems to sing all his significant high notes constantly and maybe multiple times in the same song. He strains his A4s yet he sings them all the time. I couldn't really find any significant low notes of his he seems to stay in the upper 3rd and 4th octave but he can most definitely go lower. I'm open to criticism I just really wanted a thread to be made of him. It most likely needs work.

He's a great singer. The News have some of the catchiest songs ever made it sucks that people only know them for Back To The Future, the Ghostbusters law suit, and the whole thing about Hip To Be Square in American Psycho. An extremely underrated band and singer.

'Power of Love' has a few C5s beginning at 3:31 (on 'feel the pow-er').

A really rough performance from last year... it seems like in recent year he'll either sound fantastic or absolutely horrible.

he looks a little like Tommy Lee Jones!

They're a great band. I have their greatest hits album. I like the duet between Huey and Garth Brooks.

I still associate Hip To Be Square with Sesame Street moreso than American Psycho.
