Fredddie Mercury's vocal range

I've listened to those before, however, they never cease to amaze me--those high notes, when one considers how low Freddie could also sing. Just an amazing singer, really.

Yeah Freddie and Roger and even Rob Halford could
CLEARLY hit ridiculously high notes which many other singers could hit except they sounded like crap

ok.

thanks for the info.

my vocal range is 3,5-4octaves.

Are you sure? That is quite impressive.

By the way, if that is actually Freddie's... how can someone delete voices in a so precise way? Is there any software? Or is it no doubt that that was taken out of some multi-channel recording?
If so, Is there in recording in the net which has bohemian rhapsody's vocals by themselves, or letting you have the ability to put the volume of each channel down?

Not in 1974 and not now either.

You can "duck" the vocals out by eliminating frequencies, but you can't completely remove them unless you have the master tapes. And no one has those!

I can go lower than Freddie.

I win.

There are wider vocal ranges than Freddie's, but the matter is: how are they used in the songs that are sang by those people? Bellamy is quite enjoyable in my opinion, as Muse are talented and often change style - and he's an amazing pianist and guitarist.

Moreover, I often think they pay tribute to Queen here and there (listen to the Absolution album and tell me what you think about it).

That Lopez guy seems to be more of a freak than anything else to me... Very good in a circus, but who needs to whistle with vocal chords? Do those sounds give any of you any emotions?

I have looked at all the stuff you guys have written firstly Freddie's range is F2-E6 secondly highest note in head voice F5 thirdly Miss Carey if her range was A2-G#7 wouldn't be 5 octaves. She holds no record because Adam Lopez has the male record at C8 and there's a women with the world record G10. I'm not musically trained but even I know that 1 octaves is a full set of notes for example C3-C6 would be 3 octaves, F3-D6 would be 2 octaves and a few notes. Ok Freddie low notes F2 in Bohemain Rhapsody and Don't try suicide, G#2 in somebody to love, C3 in The march of the black Queen ect ... High note s C5 in Bohemain Rhapsody, we are the champions, somebody to love, you're my best friend, the prophet song, play the game, back chat, life is real, made in heaven ect.... C#5 Hamer to fall, it's late ect.. D5 the show must go on, who wants to like forever, comming soon, staying in power, dancer, it's a hard life, don't try so hard ect.. Eb5 made in heaven(falsetto) inuenndo, E5 hang in there, another one bites the dust, was it all worth it, silver salmon ect .. F5 All god's people. Killer queen(falsetto) ect..  Gb 5(falsetto) one year of love,cool cat(falsetto),  G5 Bring back leroy brown(falsetto),Ab5 liar, great king rat, A5 the kiss, under pressure ect.. Bb5 See what a fool I've been E6 it's late(falsetto)

Live highest full voice C#5 but did many C5's
highest falsetto nots G5,Bb5,C6,C#6,D6
I've heard he had hit some A5's live too

I've been waiting for someone to mention the E6 in It's Late

and finally ONE person got around to it  :)

Freddie did not sing a low F in Bo Rhap. His lowest note there was a G.

The lowest Freddie note was an A1(Heard in slightly mad) and the highest was a D6(Heard in the japan`85 Impromptu)

Almost 4 octaves.
He could sing 3 octaves in Full Voice!!!

He got lower than the Slightly Mad thing (All Dead, STL, BRhap, DTS, YKoL...) and higher than the Impromptu (It's Late).

Roger also sang an overhigh E (and a much better one than Fred's screech) on Fox's Survival.

Freddie's total range was F2-E6.

[/QUOTE]The man had nearly 4 octaves total (exactly 3 octaves and 11 semitones--or 3 octaves and a major 7th)[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Freddie's total recorded range, which doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't go lower or higher than that.

By the way he also got lower than the F: Bring Back That Leroy Brown has a low C. Yes, it's slowed down, but it's slowed down from an Eb, which is still lower than the F.

Oh, are you talking about that "bassy" sounding "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" from 30-32 seconds into the song?
[/QUOTE]I know there's pitch manipulation, but how do you know if the original note was Eb2?

You must remember that most of Sebastians website is based on opinion, not fact. Everyone knows that Freddies range spreads from < here to here >
