Anyone know how low Graham slides on the end note at around 3:40?

Highest and lowest notes? If it's possible, highest note in head and highest note belted.

Also, for the studio version: According to the Wiki for the song, "Houston's vocals in the song span from the note of Bb1 to the high note of F#5, while the piano elements range from the note of C4 to the note of C#5."

I'd be really, really surprised (okay, shocked) if she could hit a Bb1, but... might as well check, right?

Gotta love Wiki! That link's blocked in the UK so Sir won't be able to open it either, but if I ever hear a woman hit a Bb1 I'll eat my hat.

And here's the source cited on Wikipedia: http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mt ... =MN0038958
The Wiki editor got the piano and vocal ranges the wrong way round. My dilemma now is do I change it to match the cited source, thereby possibly implying that I think it's correct when in fact I haven't checked and have very little clue but I know Musicnotes.com isn't always right, or do I leave the absurd misinformation as it is?
P.S. Meh, decided to edit the Wikipedia article. Btw nice to see you around, Mumei.

Want a tip?

NEVER TRUST WIKIPEDIA ABOUT ANYTHING SINGING-RELATED!

No worries, you aren't the first one who has been fooled by Wikipedia. On subject, I heard no Bb1s (no woman is able to hit those note, I bet) and not even Bb2s... The highest full note there was something like F#5.

Yes, I know. :P

The lowest notes I've ever heard from her are Bb2, and those aren't really hit while singing words or enunciating. I am still curious about what the actual lowest is.

What is the pitch of the sustained note at 3:38? Is that an F#5? Good vibrato for such a high note.

Really easy A4, you could have pitched this by yourself though because it was damn easy one. Great find though, he hit it really easily. :snacks:

I've been saying C#5 but I haven't ever pitched it exactly.

Nice falsetto switch topping around G5.

He meant 3:30, because that's the highest chorus note. It sounds like a D5 to me..

Timi · **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:54 am

Oh!

Great C#5s and then clean and full Eb5, impressive notes.
