John Legend Studio Vocal Range

[truelegendfan]

I love F#4! :) Wait, I really love them all! John is such a great singer!! :D

[VessiRuseva]

beauuuuuuuuuuutiful!

[jdizzle161991]

He's a bari-tenor high baritone low tenor.

[Undefeated92]

@jdizzle161991

Mostly a tenor.

Michael Bublé is a high baritone and he never reached F#5s or G#5s in head register!

[BlackLightning20101]

FINALLY!!! I've found someone that I cansing along with and be completely comfortable. I know he probably didn't hit the C#2 (at least not without the help of that tuba) but he might be able to. C#3 wasn't that much of an issue for him.

To the people calling him a tenor: they need to remember, tenor is not the only male voice type. Although it may be the most common, not every man fits within that box.

[bixxius]

The fact that he didn't actually hit that C#2 doesn't mean he can't. C#3 isn't a very low note for a man, and his voice is quite deep so I'm sure he can hit at least E2. And hell no, he's not a tenor.

[bixxius]

lol at the people saying he's a tenor.

Beautiful timbre.

[petervu]

A4 is Bb4 , 2 first B4 is A4

[seansocheap]

I am so confused, are those really head voice notes? They sound like falsetto notes to me :S

[ThePianoguy89]

@seansocheap They are falsettos.

[Hanslijosephine]

his voice reminds me of a lions roar, and that is a compliment. He must be my fav. male vocalist of our generation, a real mans voice, not some man trying to sing like a woman ( no names) ;)

[kevster3000]

what are the songs @ 2:43 and 2:48

[Dam112]

The C#2 is not his voice.. Also he's a Baritone not any type of tenor

[unisonusername]

c2 it's not her voice it's the string!!!

John's vocal range begain from a2 to c5 in chest voice

that's 2.3 octaves

cause all the "e5 .f5" are falsseto notes

[MrDarknesslover]

para mi es Tenor Lirico normal! con buenos falsetos!

[Snackay]

Vocal range doesn't include falsetto, they are just extra notes. He doesn't use them much so the real working range is probably D2 to G4 or maybe A4, which is the baritone range.

[ThePianoguy89]

@Snackay Falsettos are not just extra notes?! Falsetto is the type of phonation that is one octave above the the modal register with a breathy flute like sound. Why people always say that falsettos do not count? To me they do count especially if they are sustained. Vocal exclamations do not count because they are not sustained.

[Snackay]

@ThePianoguy89 He doesn't use them in his normal range, and they are definitely odd in that sense. Too many male singers use falsetto to make themselves sound like tenors, when they are not.

[ThePianoguy89]

@Snackay Using falsetto is not an indicative of a voice type. Falsetto is just a register. Baritones can use use falsetto register just as well as tenors. He's not trying to make himself sound like a tenor, if he did he would manipulate his tone to make it sound lighter and that has nothing to do with the use of falsetto. He stil has the vocal weight of a baritone, but he has the the ability to utilize falsetto and he's able to use it live as well.

[Dam112]

@Snackay Falsetto does count in someones range, how they use it and what they can do with that register in terms of range can be just as impressive and is just as important as chest register. Most singer dont just use it as an exntention in terms of range, but to add a different dimension to the vocals in a song, especially with a singer like john legend

[QuietStormMan]

Nearly a 3.5 octave baritone range. Sweet.

[yeahFUXKINright]

His Bb4 from "Refuge" is amazing, woulda been a nice addition

[JacobDaHeartthrob]

i want to emulate john legend...

not be juss like him.. but emulate

[bixxius]

Exactly the same range I got, tho he can go a little higher in chest. Anyway, I've just started taking vocal lessons so I'm definitely gonna improve.

[LaLaCaLisFINEst]

I don't mean to be a bother or a nuisance but I was just wondering if you could send me the names of the songs used in this video to my inbox or on here.??

[TraKoLock]

@tedeha1980 yea, cuz then he's be a bass for sure

[QuietStormMan]

I would say John is a mezzo tenor; he can go as low as C2 and go past the tenor C (C5). Then again, his chest register is between a C4 and F4....so in order to go past a C5 he would use his head voice/ falsetto range.

[yeahFUXKINright]

His chest is up to Bb4@QuietStormMan

[Snackay]

@QuietStormMan No, he is a baritone. He doesn't sing tenor notes sustained or easily, unless using falsetto.

[raistlinmajere100]

The C#2 is him, you can hear a bududiddie bum in it. Also aren't the higher notes falsetto rather than head voice?

[chewerboy]

if im not wrong, he is a kavalierbariton/lyric baritone. :)

[4RealChoice]

definitely a baritone without a doubt

[syanez5]

what is the name of the song where he hits the f and g5???

[lovegxx]

more of bass not tenor nor a baritone

[larue0509]

I can Do All Of these ranges I love John Legend! I Model after him!!

[abcsweet]

Deg a baritone I say he could hit an f2 but c2? That's a crazy low note even for a bass I doubt he has that much range can we have a video for prince and ruben studdard

[IIAmSkyHiigh]

the C2 wasnt him....sorry. that was all horn. Love John Legend though...

[Emperor961]

The very definition of soul John Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gamehead131]

John Legend is a lyric baritone. I know a baritone when I hear one. Nevertheless, he is still an impressive vocalist.

[oo0o0opss]

did he really do that c#2....i dont think so...i agree w ursus15g it must have been like a horn or something...but if he did it...that's was a pretty good damn low low notee...

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Great voice, lows pretty much sum him as baritone

[React1oN117]

great vid thanks :)

[modiene]

Whatever y'all said, ...working out voices is very painfull

So Congrates 2 him ...try 2 sing If you out there , You gOn respect Him...

I diD !

[Edrice91]

thats an incredible range compared to so many other male artist.

then the quality of his voice is amazing as well

[kouldeliee]

He is a Baritono!! Great Video I LOVE THAT C#2!!

[kenardo1007]

@kouldeliee No he is a tenor

[Snackay]

@kenardo1007 No, he is a baritone. He sings tenor notes in falsetto. That doesn't count.

[abcsweet]

Beautiful Male voice. however i doubt he can sing a C2, it sounded like he was really reaching even at low C and thats pretty high for most men so C2 seems unlikely.

[TraKoLock]

@abcsweet c2 would put him past the average bass

[Darksorrow54]

Lol you really should make chester bennington vocal range, amazing voice and music,

[Angelfully]

I listened to the song again. It was from the horn. John has a naturally low voice, their were alot of low notes I skipped from him (too lazy :( )

[olskolsoul]

@Angelfully Hey could u do a vocal range video for tevin campbell?

[Koga33525]

Merry Christmas Angelfully!

[Angelfully]

Merry Christmas Koga! :)

[Koga33525]

@Angelfully

:) hope santa got you what you wanted

[Koga33525]

Oh u don't take requests :( i didn't see that

[Koga33525]

C#2? Holy crap. I can't do that. His belts are better too. He's just a great singer. Can you do a vocal range for Justin Timberlake? I'm very curious what his range is. I heard a G2 in 4 MInutes and an A2 in My Love, just to help you out

[Angelfully]

Actually I have a Justin vs. Usher vs. Neyo video already. I did not know he hit a G2 though

[Koga33525]

@Angelfully yeah it goes so low it sounds like the music

"IF you want it COME and get it"

Thanks I'll go watch it

btw i like your videos :)

[MatSwim94]

there wasn't any C#2 -.-

[cazeterow]

C#2 as lowest note and then a high jump to C#3?

[Darksorrow54]

I love john legend so inspirational, omg can you please do a vocal range of chester bennington from linkin park, he might be a grunge vocalist at some of his metal songs, but songs like breaking the habit, numb, shadow of the day, the little things give you away, he is the best, I highly recommend you to him angel, you would Be amaze at his voice, and he is a tenor. so please..

[CrunkBoi87]

What song is the f#5 and G#5 from?

[Angelfully]

Lets Get Lifted Again

[frankieboi]

Thank you sooooo much.

[calvin999999999]

TBH, that G#5 hit A5 with the vibrato at the end.

[EmbracetheButterfly]

I LOVE you for this video. My favorite male singer next to Maxwell.

[DAlmond123]

He's very underrated! Thanks for this!

[LifeisMusic07]

I love John's vocals. He's one of the best male vocalist that been out for some times. His tone is so rich, and sultry. Love his chest notes, and like you said his voice is naturally deep so anything low he does is already great whatever way he sings. And his head voice is pretty beautiful. YOu should do a vocal range vid for Gavin Degraw, he has a really nice voice too.

[DonavonKingTV]

I Think He's a Dramatic Tenor though

[anthill21]

@DonavonKingTV he classifies himself as a baritone

[DonavonKingTV]

3 Octaves 4 Notes.

Thats very good many guys only have in between 2 Octaves & 3 Octaves

[calvy]

LOVE IT! He's my favourite male singer, I always thought he was a baritone. Thanks for the vid.

[Angelfully]

Me too, but he seems to reach the higher notes pretty well

[VaunTV]

Great Video, I Love his chest voice & good head voice.. Wow 3.4 octaves that's great
