Likely and vice-versa. Impossible to precisely determine: one dead; one alive; age difference when comparing; recorded vs live, body harmonics, etc etc. Frankly, does it even really matter? Both are phenomenal singers, each with individual distinctive voices. It really is all good. Adam from various sources E2 – B♭5 E2- B5 Freddie from study mentioned F#2 to G5 Roger from - playback.fm/blog/roger-taylor-drummer-queen-falsetto/E2-E6 Range, range, range, range, range. I don't get the obsession with it. If a singer has a usable range of two octaves, that is sufficient for most even challenging songs. Classically trained singers may have 2.5 octaves. It is rare for vocal music to be written with a span of more than 2.5 octaves. The critical word is "usable." That commonly means notes a singer can produce clearly, consistently, reliably, with enough volume to be heard across a room, and with the ability to sustain and modulate volume. It does not include every sound, rumble, rattle and squeak a voice can produce. In classical singing a vocal range includes chest voice, head voice, and mixed or blended voice. In other types of music, falsetto might also be considered, altho' most singers cannot modulate volume well in falsetto. It is consistently light and wispy. Many people who try to determine the absolute vocal range for pop/rock singers search for examples of the singer even touching upon a note or tone for a fraction of a second in speech or singing. That results in those ridiculously large ranges quoted as gospel. But it is not realistic. It is not what the singer uses routinely in concert. (With the ability to electronically alter tone and pitch in the studio, I am leery of giving "credit" for studio recordings.) Adam routinely sings notes from C3 to G5: a span of 2.5 octaves. I have heard him consistently hit an A2 in concert on the song Runnin, I think. I have occasionally heard him sustain an A5, and briefly bounce up to a B5, but not sustained for more than a second, and not when articulating a word. Freddie.... I haven't examined his voice, but from what I have heard on video live, it is difficult to say, because his voice varied depending on the condition of his cords. When he was struggling with cord damage, his range was much more limited, and he tended to crack if he pushed his limits. But, when he was healthy, vocally, yes, he had an impressive range, too. His could reach lower than Adam's voice, but not as high as Adam could in full voice. Perhaps vocal range is widely discussed as the end-all-be-all because it is easily measured and quantifiable. But, at least in classical singing, HOW a voice sounds is much more important than how high or low its limits go. Plus how CONSISTENT the voice is from performance to performance, register to register, note to note. How seamlessly can the voice travel from low to high while maintaining the same tone? How flexible is the voice in terms of speed, volume, style, and emotion? Can the singer add warmth, or piercing sharpness? Clarity or breathiness? Purity or rasp or twang? All those factors go into a "great" voice. Okay, off my soapbox now. Cassie...your discussions of the methods used to define vocal ability/tone/range remind me somewhat of an old prof/s delineation of the differences in Quantitative analysis versus Qualitative. He used to use an analogy of describing a Frog. Quantitative analysis gave clear descriptions of the various parts/systems of a frog...legs, heart, skin, endocrine system, etc....but in the end, if you wanted to know what 'frogness' was...to know what a whole frog really was, you needed to use Qualitative methods. [just a little bias there, eh?] lol. But still, his arguments are not unlike yours re defining a 'great' voice and performance. imo ps....this prof and partner are really good friends of mine...live in Arkansas and I will be visiting them this November...She just killed their long time vehicle which we [the grad cohort I was a part of] named Froggy in honor of his theory of research. When they posted on FB of Froggy's demise, there were many messages of condolences . [for those aware of the term, Fantasy Chains in action ]

Sorry, I didn't even know that thread existed so I didn't see the review from the Philly Voice there. Now that I know about that thread, I will check it first.

Here we go... Squee!!!
Eta: so glad I can stop avoiding concert vids after tonight. I also deliberately avoided reviews and certain recaps which try to shit on my fun! Lol
Finally, I'm glad to hear there is one less homage-y thingy. Off to the Pru now, catch you guys later...
