NOBODY has a FIVE OCTAVE RANGE. NOBODY!!
Freddie's 3.5 Octave range for a guy is huge. Yes, a few men might have higher, but NOBODY has 5 octaves.
Try this. Go to a piano and play the scales over 5 ranges. TRY to sing each note in the 5 octave range. TRY to sing each note for even a 3.5 octave range. I bet none of you can make it past 2.5 octaves.
Then you'll see how stupid you sound who think a human being can sing 5 octaves.[/QUOTE]
just because you cant do it, doesnt mean its impossible. there are people out there who prove it, people have pointed it out, and it exists. sorry if you dont like it.[/QUOTE]
Ok. name one person who can sing 5 octaves.

Is technically impossible for a person to have a 5 octave range... WITHOUT FALSETTO.
With falsetto... it's still nonsense to me.
Can you imagine?
Let's say we have Db1 as the bottom note, just like me. How high can I go?
Let's say Db4, I can reach that note without falsetto... and it's pretty high.
Let's say F4, that's actually VERY high for a person like me, who has Db1 as the bottom note.
Then, how high can you go before your head vioce starts going falsetto-esque?
I'd say F4, G4. Going higher is actually going into a vocal range that is out of a man's logical range, that's when it stops (and turns into falsetto).
And we didn't even got a 4 octave range on that example.
So let's say we have A0 as the bottom note. It's VERY unlikely that a lower voice like that could even reach a high C.
Then again, let's say we have a higher voice, with G1 as the bottom note. Can that voice go over the G4? Yes, of course, but it starts going falsetto-esque. It's no use, it's a dead end.
And the same goes for women... women can't reach very low, but can go very high... anyway, it's the same principle, but this one is higher.

I like it how people are using themselves as examples of why there can't be a 5 octave range.
Those people who use whistle tones and ridiculously low grunts to notes in 5 different octaves.... they do exist. However - does it count as range if you can't hit all the notes in between? (I saw someone like that once).

Whistle tones do not count as part of the vocal range.

lol thats what i pointed out before.
yeah i think that has been debated, whether having a '5 octave range' means hitting the notes between. i believe it does. its not uncommon that people have a whistle register, its whether they have control over it and if they can exeute some nice notes instead of squeaking them out. low notes are about the amount of threshold you can relax everything and sing a lower note. if someone wants to prove their range as ridiculously large, i reccomend having laryngitis.

There is a strange obsession on here about this 'Mika' bloke.
To be honest I heard him just to see what all the fuss was about, and couldn't stand him. His voice was not powerful neither did it speak to me. Also his piano playing was quite lacklustre. Surely it wouldn't kill him to hit a few more keys.
I just felt that my opinions had to be voiced on this subject.
