Collection of male Vocal Ranges


whitney houston and Michael Jackson/></a></td></tr> <tr><td class=



Just because we are a site about the female voice, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate male singers too! Below is a list of male singers and their vocal range.

Just to help you compare Mariah Carey has a 5 octave range stretching from a G2-G7 which means she can hit 35 notes on the piano. (1 octave is 7 notes)

Adam Lambert Vocal Range: Bb2 Bb5 (3 octaves)
Chris Brown Vocal Range: G2-G5 (3 octaves)
Jamie Foxx Vocal Range: B2-G5 (2 octaves 5 notes)
Justin Bieber vocal Range: C#3-E5 (2 octaves 1 note and a semi tone)
Freddie Mercury Vocal Range: F2-E6 (3 octaves 6 notes)
Luther Vandross Vocal Range: B1-F#5 (3 octaves 4 notes 1 semitone)
Marvin Gaye Vocal Range: D2-Eb6 ( 4octaves 1 semitone)
Michael Jackson Vocal Range: A2-C6 (3 octaves 2 notes)
Omarion Vocal Range: F2-C#6 (3 octaves 4 notes and a semi tone)
Prince Vocal Range: G2-C#7 (4 octaves 3 notes and one semi tone)
The Dream Vocal Range: C3-C6 (3 octaves)
Usher vocal Range: A2-Bb5 (3 octaves 1 notes)

    michael jacksons vocal range is not 3 octaves, its more than that. michael jacksons vocal coach in an interview said that his vocal range was 4 + octaves, cause as he got older he had the ability to hit low notes , without losing the high notes;)
    just saying

    Michael Jackson's Range Was F2-Eb6, 3.833 (3 5/6) octaves
    His vocal coach apparently said he could sing to B1, but I read this on answers.com so it may not be true, so I wouldn't include it.

    I'm a guy, my vocal coach sais that My vocal range is 4octaves and 3~4 notes, but when I see other singers I find it weird. Is that possible ?

    Super Junior Kyuhyun's highest note is either F#5 or G5. Add him.

    I swear Freddie Mercury's voice is more than three octaves. Perhaps four. Five is a maybe. He has been known by his vocally obsessed fans to have access to whistle register and has a great range with power ringing throughout most of his range.

  18. Patrick Castillo199420 April 2012 at 18:27

    mezzo sopranos are females? duh. the counter tenor is the only voice that can be quallified as a mezzo. look at chris colfer from glee!

  19. Johnny Romero14 June 2012 at 22:27

    WHAT THE FUCK??? FREDDIE MERCURY HAS WELL OVER 4 OCTAVES SORRY GUYS BUT HE IS THE BEST MOST TALENTED SING OUT OF ALL OF THEM!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Mperry935 July 2012 at 02:49

    Freddie Mercury could sing F2 - F6 haha. He's a 4 octave guy. But even as written, you said F2-E6, which is 3 octaves 7 notes.


    Speaking of which, it must be about time for another Male profile, and Freddie is definitely worthy! Haha

    Well he'll get a revised- more accurate range- when he gets his own profile in the future .

    Painful moreso to him than to me lol. I don't mind scatchy vocals they just sounded a bit like they were coming from someone who had more grit in their voice than the average singer.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Opie Ever8 July 2012 at 22:30

    Well yeah, It's Robert Plant. Dude has more grit than the average singer period. ;)
    Again not sure if I read that correctly but..you are not familiar with Robert Plant?

  29. Brian8 July 2012 at 23:10

    I know of him but I have never really sat down to listen to his work. Some of those notes on the video sounded like straight up screaming to me but I dunno...it wasnt bad. Haha I need to listen to more Led Zeppelin.

  30. Opie Ever9 July 2012 at 00:23

    He doesn't have the range anymore at 60 but the grit...I think so. :)

  31. Opie Ever15 July 2012 at 20:04

    Another suggestion for male vocal range...George Michael. Speaking of the great Freddie Mercury...George did a find job with this one I thought...

    I really like George's voice, I think people forget what a truly gifted and capable singer he is :)

  33. Opie Ever16 July 2012 at 03:38

    I agree Stuey. I think it is a result of media taking a dislike to him and it somehow becoming "uncool" to like him but he is an excellent singer imo..

    ReplyDelete
  34. Stuey16 July 2012 at 05:30

    Yeh the media have been more than a bit unfair to him, it seemed that they were on a mission to destroy his rep for a while there. Now he is seen in better light, well for now at least...

  35. Opie Ever16 July 2012 at 05:52

    Depends on his next single I guess. I understand a new video is soon tp be dropped with Kate Moss in it. Least, I think I saw a headline to that effect on Huffington post

    What about Myles Kennedy? Amazing control and ability to sustain notes as well as a 4 octave range.

    Am an Haute Contre, I hit from F2 to E6, and just strted whistle, sometimes high notes sound higher than they are, like lambert hitting a B5 and it really sounds like a C5. Weird

  43. Anonymous12 September 2012 at 16:56

    It took me a while to consider this, but Chrs Brown is not a great singer at all. His dancing is fabulous, but his voice is nasal and I feel like it's edited because his "live" performances never sound live with all that dancing going on. There's only one Michael Jackson.

  44. JoeS27 October 2012 at 07:13

    Um, please don't judge me this is my first time here. Lol. There is another male voice his name is Chris Colfer. He is from Glee and his vocal range is Countertenor and I don't know how far his range is but I know his highest was at least a G5 so would it be possible to make a Vocal Profile for him I know that he is not known as a singer but I just love his voice so much and I just would like to know how wide his range is. If you could do that for me, that be very grateful.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Spark27 October 2012 at 07:32

    Yes, Colfer is Glee's resident countertenor. I believe his demonstrated range is A2 to Bb5, 3 octaves and a semitone. There is a video of it up on YT.

  51. XtinaFighter22 November 2012 at 14:06

    people said Charice has a 5 octave voice which was far from true. As talented as the man was he didn't have more than 4 octaves he had about 3 octaves and 4 notes which is still an impressive range!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Reiko Kanaki22 November 2012 at 17:47

    I think that they want proof he actually hit those notes, not just a testimonial. Various coaches have had varying opinions on Mimi's range, from four to eight, but they went with the number of octaves they could confirm: five.

  53. JaqBoots9 December 2012 at 08:00

    Why isn't Nick Pitera on this list? He has the largest vocal range I've ever heard on a guy.

    Would like to see Matt Bellamy join this list; A2 to G#5 I believe; though his live recordings go to D#6!

  64. lo016 April 2013 at 20:22

    On Michael Jackson's profile it says he has a 4 octave range but here it says 3 octaves and 2 notes? I remember reading somewhere his range was nearly 4 octaves but not quite.

    Probably a baritone. It would be hard to pick which kind though. It depends whether you find it easier to sing at the top of your range or the bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Leith28 September 2013 at 16:12

    Can you show a video or any proof of it? I'm sure that he has at least 3 octaves, but 4 seems too much to me...

    So you've got a greater range than Mariah Carey? If you're going to make things up at least try a little harder.

    Hey guys, I've been trying hard to find my voice and when I listened to John Legend's All of Me and started singing together I noticed that it relatively suits my voice - except when he belts "risking it all [..,]". If you guys who know better about voices could make him a profile I would be very thankful as it would help me lots too. Btw, Happy New Year!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Vin31 December 2013 at 01:06

    This is true. He has been reported to hit an A6 during a live performance of Get Down, Make Love, and I'm pretty sure he hit an F6 in Under Pressure. I've also heard of him getting so low as an A1 but I'm not certain of this. Regardless, his voice was remarkable.

  81. Lovatic31 December 2013 at 08:29

    Why would males care about 7th octave notes they can reach and consider it part of their vocal ranges? It doesn't make them more of a singer

    ReplyDelete
  82. HDd9 January 2014 at 18:32

    So when are more profile going to be added for males? Thinking primarily Prince and disputed Freddie Mercury?

  83. Eiserne7 June 2014 at 01:39

    1 octave is eight notes, not seven, that's why it's called octave.
