[@johnnycuff4647]

A4 is definately a powerful high note... Even tenors struggle to sing. To me a good A4 sounds better and more emotional than a Tenor C or High D.

[@IAmTheRealKen]

Really? I'm a barritone and I can hit A4's somewhat easily enough. O.o Beyond that is a bit of a different story, though.

[@arik0128]

Cool comment. many say the same about Bb4. perhaps it's because the male voice maintains its agility at these high notes.

[@IAmTheRealKen]

Who are you responding to, me or Johnny? Just wondering. :)

[@arik0128]

Ken Hahaha. actually Johnny. but bravo for the easily reached A4 notes for a baritone. im sure you still have rooms for improvement. the secret lies in the tongue root tendons if you are still young, which means the tendons are still too tight. they together with inappropriate stretching neck position hinder you in using your TA muscles fully. i am a bassy singer who sings D2s loud and clear. now i belt out C#5s with full resonance too. practice do change things just like muscle trainings in weight lifting.

[@arik0128]

Ken but it takes time and don't forget singing is a breath controlling game. good support keeps your vocal cord healthy and safe from overuse.

[@aminkardovic8302]

Just one name: Brendon Urie.

[@wizard1370]

[@MrSkinnyJeanz3]

Luther, Naul, Ryeowook, David Phelps, Mitch, Wes Hampton's last A4 was nice too.

[@Urfav4444]

Most of yalls analogies are for tenor males....an A4 for baritones are like an A5s for sopranos and an A4 for a bass would be.........a will and a prayer. Lmfao kudos to those who can!

[@parrisd3865]

fav singers I know that’s right buddy. I’m a baritone, and I can hit A4s on a good day in my chest voice without falsetto.

[@presidentjiang6762]

How low should a bass be

[@Urfav4444]

@@presidentjiang6762 usually in classical music the bass is the octave reflection of a soprano and most of the time basses actually fit into that description but there will always be those extraordinary ones who have the talent to go above and beyond.

[@candyblingggggg]

Is it really like an A5 for them???? Idk how that note could be so hard but I’m not saying it should be easy cuz notes outside the third octave can be hard but still

[@Goggalor1990]

Mix voice all day for basses on that note (am a bass and can hit A4). No other way you're getting up there without falsetto lol.

[@kay233ful]

THEY GOT D.O. THANK GOD.

[@alexthomas3310]

My bro, this is a great video. But, here's the deal, Steve Green has the best A4 on the planet. There are so many great clips of him just dominating an A4. The clip you used in here is great compared to these other guys, but far from his best A4. Like I said, many many many to choose from....but here is one example....(See reply below)

[@archiecook55]

Favorites: Bruno Mars, David Cook, Michael Jackson, David Archuleta, Paul McCartney, Steve Green, Mitch Grassi, Jordan Smith, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury, and David Phelps I'd never listened to Steve Green before but he has a wonderful operatic voice, and that last clip of David Phelps was just awesome! The rest of my picks are just people I really like.

[@Alyy_renee]

I might be a teensy bit biased. But I honestly feel like Mitch Grassi should have been in the top 5 on this list. He can hit this note with no trouble at all and when he does, it is is perfecly smooth and almost angel like. But he is my favorite singer of all time so it's likely because of that. He is just so flippin talented it's unbelievable

[@giacomo1308]

1. David Phelps (slayyysss) 2. Avery Wilson 3. Jordan Smith 4. Stevie Wonder

[@nwbrktwnband]

Freddie's Live Aid improv A4 is the definition of power.

[@MimiXtinaChelleKRow]

Luther, David Phelps, JC, Brian Littrell, Brian McKnight, Sandeul are the best! :D

[@davidsosa538]

Bruno mars is absolutely effortless

[@stevenmelendez3019]

[@stevenmelendez3019]

Last place in my opinion is... Chris Brown

[@Hijodeganas1]

Pretty much the same here. Luther and Stevie always impress me on those high mixed/chest voices. I had forgotten about that Jordan Smith A4 too, I loved that one.

[@mxxfrnndss]

justin timberlake, mitchie, nathan sykes... those were awesome for me. and the korean (or japanese idek) guys too.

[@khairulnizamjamrie8171]

Max Fernandes JT, JC and brian littrell for sure!

[@jeongsookim6705]

My range has been growing a lot in the past years. In 10th grade I could only hit E4 as time keep passing I started hitting F4 & soon after F#4. In 12th grade I started hitting G4 and soon after G#4 came a long. In these past days I started practicing and I hit an A4 all the sudden. I was shook tbh, and I'm very proud of how my my vocal range has grown, practice does make perfect. 🙌🏻💖

[@ecapsdesu3856]

Giovaniel Soto Sameee my vocal range is E2 - A4 - B5 Sad thing I don't know how to mixed voice. :(

[@siamatonsing1099]

How do you increase your range?? Please i need help 🙏🙏

[@candyblingggggg]

@@siamatonsing1099 hi! To increase your range I’ve done exercises like lip trills and other exercises by Jacob’s Vocal Academy on KZbin and Apple Music. they help a lot, it helped me extend my range to as high as a A5 (mixed). Check it out! The other exercises are also great on range extension and more

All these A4's were great! It's a money note for sure. Every time I think of an A4, I think of when Zayn Malik sang the high note of Moments. That's definitely one of my faves!!! Great work with this video, along with the others! 👍

[@Skywalker9089]

Sandeul, Luther Vandross, Naul, Ryeowook, David Phelps(best A4), Steve Green all have very good A4s

[@DocPortland]

When it comes to the A4 - Steve Green has the best one on the planet... Listen to Steve at the end of this song: vlj-r82XFTs

[@chogiwhy4020]

I see Do kyungsoo I click

[@K82849]

Always believed the best way to measure tenor vocal technique is to have them sing the F4 to the A4. The break areas are the hardest to master but the tenor voice soars in those areas

[@lunabangtan7]

yay you got Mitchie

[@valsocceran]

When i hit an A4 sounds very forced, but my G#4 i think is good, idk

[@gaminggalleryph]

My Opinion 1. David Phelps - It will be better if the song was "The Dream". But Nice!!! 2. Jordan Smith - So Sustained and Resonant!!! 3. Stevie Wonder - Very Crazy Vocal Line!!! 4. Luther Vandross - It has copyright, but i know that his A4 were Resonant. 5. Sandeul - Very Good!!! 6. Steve Green - I love the song, also his phrased high notes!!! 7. Luis Miguel - So Sustained and I love his vocal Texture!!! 8. David Cook - Very Good hitting it, loving the octave jump!!! 9. Naul - Long and Resonant!!! 10. Mitch Grassi - Very Resonant!!! A Capella could might give you a good vocals! 11. D.O. - Good Support!!! Paul McCartney - Not Bad. It is clean. He's 19th in my opinion. Nathan Sykes - His Phrased A4 is not bad, he is just straining. He's 30th in my Opinion. Ryeowook - His Last A4 was resonant. Nothing impressive on his Phrased A4s. He is 15th in my opinion 12. Alex Newell - Resonant!!!

[@alancutouwu2327]

Dude... No one cares, but I hit an A4, like nothing in my first time on a stage ;_; (today) I'm a freaking baritone, without a vocal coach...

Freddie Mercury hit a high note at Vocal Improv, Live AID, 1985. Edit: where is Freddie Mercury? I saw him at the description.

[@vharaxes]

I'm glad you include sandeul. His voice is consistently supported. That ryeowook's A4 is good too.

[@LaraVergara]

Nathan, Timberlake, Zayn and most of the Asian singers nailed it. I would say Brendon Urie too but he sounded a little bit pitchy.

[@MrAnders1976]

Difficult to compare male singers singing high notes,, If you got your technique homed in, the differences on a note comes down to that persons natural fach, a spinto tenor can blend in a lot more chest resonance on A4 than a baritone who would be in head resonance on that A4 note.. The other factor is the color of that singers upper resonators,, afroamericans often have a darker timbre in relation to white singers when comparing singers within the same fach (the pitch generator is from the size of the vocal folds),, It is the larger wider mouth, larger jaw line and wide nose cavity that creates that sound you hear on Lou stubs from the four tops.. One thing I have noticed is that the heavier/darker the voice is (like a deeper baritone) the more difficult it is to sing connected through the second passaggio.. Is not difficult below like a D4 or above like a F#4 but the E4 is tricky,, 440Hz tuning just kills heavy voices.. Small detune to 436Hz helps a lot for those male fach.
