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 [/QUOTE]
That's sort of bullshit
Mika is able to put emotion in his songs like his life is depending on it. He just hasn't proven it yet in a way.
Plus. It took a while till Freddie's voice was at it's peak so judging Mika at such a short carreer is kind of Biatched. He can still grow and he will.

The 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 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies
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.

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.[/QUOTE]
exactly. people out there have 5 octaves, it is RARE to posess a full 5 octave + range. the other thing to think about is, can they actually pull it off?
ah well, you pretty much said everything i would need to say here. brava!

No one can really agree on Mariah Carey, but her recorded voice appears to be very close to five octaves - I've heard C3-F/G7. 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.

Do you even know what a vocal range is, dumbass?
http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/carey.asp
"(...)and a five-octave range (claimed of legendary Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac and pop star Whitney Houston, for example) is extraordinary".
"Mariah Carey does indeed have a fice voice, possibly even close to six octaves in range".
Whitney Houston 5 octaves, Mariah Carey nearly 6...
Maybe MIKA doesn't have such a big vocal range, but it's definitely not "impossible".
Freddie's vocal range wasn't TOO big. Big vocal range doesn't mean good singer, neither small range means bad singer. Get over it.

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.
