Freddie is now a legit 4 Octave Singer

At 2:33 he gets an F6!

His speech seems fast, as does the music...could this be sped up?

It's speed up by about a quarter tone--but his F6 was sharp. I slowed it down: It's an F6!

I'll second that.  The recording definitely plays at the right speed.  Good job on the detective work, Greg !

Is is sped up by a quarter tone (Greg) or playing at the right speed (Sir GH)?  Confused!

LMFAO!

The video above is slightly sharp. I took the audio into Audacity and slowed it down to around a quarter tone. That F6 is legit (it sounds sharp in the video).

Thanks for clearing that up Greg.  I wouldn't know an F6 by ear if it sang to me wearing an F6 suit, but the whole thing just sounded a smidge too fast and a smidge too tight.  I was quite prepared to be wrong though.  It happens a lot.

Actually his lowest note was an A1(i`m going slightly mad is a good example).
So he still isnt a 4 octave singer until there is proof of him singing an A6.

I think there's a difference between just being able to hit an extremely high note and being able to actually USE that register and make melodies in it.

Fred got lower than that A on several songs: Bo Rhap (G), All Dead (F), Leroy Brown (Eb, D or C# ... either one of them is still lower than the A), etc.

It's still a legit note!

Absolutely.  But usage of the voice for melodic reasons comes down to artistic opinion.  Measuring vocal range is a simple question of "can the singer hit the note or not?"

When millions of people were amazed with Mariah Carey's range in the 90s, I'm sure plenty of people thought her top couple octaves were ultimately useless and unmusical.  But whether or not we liked it, she had a 5 octave range.

She had(or has?) a 5 octave range... that we know of. It could be even larger.

Speaking of which... who knows how high Roger could get...

My friends and I, have been trying to find out Roger's range: Here's what we have:

Full voice: F#3-Eb5
Falsetto: Up to C6

AFAIK, he hit a head-voiced E5 several times: I'm in Love with My Car, More of that Jazz, Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll.

AFA recorded examples go, his top note (AFAIK) is an E6 (Survival).
