@TLPOMNIMEDIA I definitely agree with you, on this. Prince's voice sounds like it's more of a Baritone, though. He has, naturally, a very deep speaking voice. If he was a Tenor, his speaking voice would have been somewhat higher than what it is. Good point made, in regards to his ability to sing in the "whistle"-pitch register.
@Administrator688 hmmm, idk about the speaking voice (his is very deep, no doubt. lol) cause my speaking voice is pretty "high". I'd guess it depends on which register you use for speaking? According to wikipedia (not the best site, i know) it's possible to find people who speak in any of the 4 registers. I natural speak in a mix of Falsetto and Vocal Fry registers. Most people speak in their modal register (chest voice) which is used to determine vocal range type tho. ^_^
@Administrator688 well yeah i guess so, but michael jackson was and still is the king of falsetto, when prince sings in falsetto it doesnt suit him and it doesnt sound good. michael jackson did use whistle pitch, in many of his songs such as "butterflies",he also used somewhat bass vocals in his song "monkey business", he also used his deep voice in songs such as "whatever happens", " 2000 watts " and more, obviously you dont know michaels vocal range. im not trying to offend any prince fans
@ewardah Have you ever heard Prince sing "Adore"? His range on that song (especially when he goes WAY up into his falsetto) is just as incredible as Michael Jackson's was, when he sang "Butterflies." By the way, I've never heard Michael sing in as deep a Bass register as Prince does, or even use "whistle"-pitch register (Who knows, for sure, IF he was ever physically capable of using it, and, going up that high in his own range? Maybe, but, we don't know.) at all. They BOTH were/are great.
@ewardah You are not offending me (though I am a fan of BOTH Michael AND Prince - equally, WITHOUT PUTTING EITHER ONE OVER THE OTHER - as I have stated before), we just disagree with each other, on the subject matter regarding their vocal ranges, and abilities, that's all. In your view, Michael was a better singer - in my view, they were/are equal in their vocal skills, but, each one having his own voice-type, and his own range. Prince has more range, Michael had less - but, both sang well.
Prince has a great voice and is a very talented musician. I only wish he could have came about ten years earlier. I'm not crazy about the turn which music took in the 80's.
Prince's voice always captures my attention......his vocal range is very very affective and he puts himself and his emotions into the song and that is very inspiring.....
@tonysantana22222 Great comment!!! I agree with you, 100%. However, even though their voices are different, OBVIOUSLY, that does NOT make either of these artists (whether Michael, or Prince) "better than" one - or "not as good as" - the other. They each have, or had, their own way of singing, and USING their voice, in whatever style that best worked for them. Each singer had his own strengths, in regards to his abilities, and what made him sound unique. Whatever weakness, was made up for.
@tonysantana22222 You have said it, EXACTLY!!! So true. From what we DO know, based on what has been made public so far (that most people have already HEARD - from both artists), I absolutely agree with you. They each had their own way of using their voice, to the best of whatever abilities, and strengths, that suited them - which made up for anything weak, or for any limitations (vocally-wise) they dealt with, so that each of them sang well, and sounded great - in his own unique voice.
@ewardah They BOTH could sing well, equally. Prince, as shown in this Video, has a much wider range than what Michael had - going from a very deep Bass (because of a naturally LOWER speaking voice), all the way up to a C#7, in the "whistle"-pitch register. AMAZING!!! Michael used his voice DIFFERENTLY than Prince. He was NEVER, in his entire lifetime, known to either sing in his Bass register (if he had one, to begin with), or for using the "whistle"-pitch. (NO ONE knows if he was capable.)
@ewardah If you would read my previous comments, I STRONGLY disagree with you, on this. However, though I DO believe that they were/are equal in their singing abilities. And, we may NEVER know to what extent Michael's were (or, might have been) at their fullest. But, we do know, without doubt or speculation, what Prince's are - because, we have all HEARD him for ourselves - and, we already KNOW what he has been, and STILL IS, capable of. You are speculating about what you haven't heard yet.
Interestingly, Prince goes through almost his entire vocal range in one 2 minute song: "Do U Lie?" off of the Soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon. I get a kick out of listening to that song for that very reason.
@UnderReconstruction7 If I push it, B5. Maybe be even C6. But anything above G#5 is completely unreliable and a little on a risky side. Basically, I avoid going above A5.
@UnderReconstruction7 If I push it, B5. Maybe be even C6. But anything above G5 is unreliable and a little haphazard. Basically, I avoid singing above G5 unless I KNOW for sure I can do it.
He is a baritone with an amazingly high falsetto/whistle register. I am a high tenor myself, but my falsetto is nowhere near as high as his. I'm envious.
Just listen to his scream in the beginning of Get Off. His range is absolutely amazing. I am a tenor and some of his screams are just out of this world. And to still be singing over 50 after hitting such high notes is also amazing. Most rock band leads lose their voices over time because of strain. Prince is still going.
@controlpopulation most vocalists lose their range because of what they do their vocal chords.....like smoking cigarettes or weed......Prince excerises his vocal chords, and as far as i know has never smoked anything, hell, he barely drinks, much less smoke or do drugs of any kind. :)
@TheJaredThingy Yes I totally agree - I've never heard him sing in the 5th octave in full voice! His high notes seem to take on 4 forms: Light falsetto, falsetto with twang, falsetto with twang and distortion, and very occasionally whistle register. The way he has all these sounds under control is just amazing, he's a technically phenomenal singer.
@TheJaredThingy Far as I can tell, what Prince does on those kind of screams is using two techniques A) twang - which involves contracting the aryepiglottic sphincter, and narrowing the aryepiglottic funnel. B) distortion, which can be achieved in a number of ways but I think he partially closes up the false vocal cords. The vocal cords and airflow remain unstressed and unconstricted throughout. Try buying Cathrin Sadolin's Complete Vocal Technique book :)
@TheJaredThingy That wasn't vocal fry. He basically squeezed (but not strained) his vocal chords and added a lot of twang, which he basically accomplished by growling (almost like gargling).
prince's vocals dont compere to micheal jackson's their not even on the same level. when prince sings the kind of range he,s using at the time just comes out in him. prince is versetile when he sings you can here his pain thats the diffrence between micheal and prince. micheal jackson sung about more of being an humanterian and helping children witch is good. but he donst come close on how prince sung about women. i love all those screeches and moans.
@rekupp sure, but it's the funk/soul style of music. It wouldn't be funk/soul if he didn't make the sounds brassy. He isn't trying to be operatic. Nor is he standing by a piano hitting high notes so he can be on YouTube with a great vocal range for praise.
It's clear his vocal range is extraordinary for a pop musician - and not just for the range, but for the consistency at which he hits those notes - they aren't 'one-offs' like they are for so many other musicians.
i love this! omg why does every1 always bring up how Prince is better than michael jackson or they start saying that michael is better tha Prince? wtf? this is a Prince video. omg!
@SingDriver101 I think the main difference between their voices is Michael was more of a technical singer and Prince is more experimental with his voice. He manipulated sounds to get different affects or show different emotions. But when it comes down to just singing... I think Mike would definitely lead.
@iWurk You describe Prince's singing perfectly. It's not straight singing, it's the manipulation of sound. I think there are many better pure singers, but I haven't heard many who use vocal sounds like Prince does. I also believe he worked hard to develop this. He's sure come a long way vocally from his first 2 albums.
@SingDriver101 But even you must admit that MJ was stuck in the vocal range of a pre pubesant male. Which maybe an insight to his mental state. Never to say anything bad about a dead person I am only commenting on his limited singing abilities,
@Bigwilly10 LOL!! I totally noticed but didn't stop 2 think sum1 else would!!! neway--I always knew his range was amazing just didn't know by how much!! his voice is his most amazing instrument!
oh i love that! kudos!b that had to take time. you made u smirk and had alot of my favorite notes he hits in songs!i'm like singing along...ohh love that part! love that note! LOL
@kmaur21 Interesting way you have, of pointing out Prince's range. You say that, "He could - at least - hit a C2, and that's an understatement. He has 5 octaves, and then some." Is this true? If so, then his vocal skills are even more amazing, making him an incredible singer, who is capable of doing MUCH MORE with his voice than we already knew. How did you count the notes, to get to that many octaves? I would really want to know how you determined what his range is, if it's different.
He goes down to C2 in one interview and does it without any problems, true baritone. Highest full voice note I remember from Prince is A4, would be great to find B4 or C5. His falsetto ir miraclous!
where's the alleged E2 - Fb was the lowest here

@SingDriver101 I think the main difference between their voices is Michael was more of a technical singer and Prince is more experimental with his voice. He manipulated sounds to get different affects or show different emotions. But when it comes down to just singing... I think Mike would definitely lead.

@iWurk You describe Prince's singing perfectly. It's not straight singing, it's the manipulation of sound. I think there are many better pure singers, but I haven't heard many who use vocal sounds like Prince does. I also believe he worked hard to develop this. He's sure come a long way vocally from his first 2 albums.

@SingDriver101 But even you must admit that MJ was stuck in the vocal range of a pre pubesant male. Which maybe an insight to his mental state. Never to say anything bad about a dead person I am only commenting on his limited singing abilities,

@kmaur21 Interesting way you have, of pointing out Prince's range. You say that, "He could - at least - hit a C2, and that's an understatement. He has 5 octaves, and then some." Is this true? If so, then his vocal skills are even more amazing, making him an incredible singer, who is capable of doing MUCH MORE with his voice than we already knew. How did you count the notes, to get to that many octaves? I would really want to know how you determined what his range is, if it's different.

He does have a good high pitch falsetto range.
QuietStormMan 1 year ago
He goes down to C2 in one interview and does it without any problems, true baritone. Highest full voice note I remember from Prince is A4, would be great to find B4 or C5. His falsetto ir miraclous!
