[@avanoelle5333]

Everyone he is a baritone! Not a tenor not a dramatic tenor, he's a baritone. He has a strong full lower register with projection and ease. Look at his belts and mixed register, he really has to work to get to those notes and he does it well. If he was a tenor those notes would be easy for him. Michael is a trained vocalist and since he has good technique it is easier for him to hit those notes than most other baritones but still he has to use more work than a tenor cause for him those notes are higher for him

[@tessatheartist33]

i agree...and i think he can go lower than indicated in this video

[@KajiVocals]

His timbre doesn't sound AT ALL like a baritone. Not to mention his passaggi are at C#4 and F#4, which are tenor passaggi.

He’s a light lyric baritone with a proper vocal coach and i think he kinda trained towards the classical way. And his songs are built for baritones most of the time you can sing it healthily (not like John Legend songs where you can get sore easily because of how it’s written)

[@nathanmaynard2241]

His higher register is so much more powerful than I would've thought, i don't know if I've ever seen someone with such a clear voice in the higher register with so much power without rasp, dang that sounds amazing

You're comparing very high tenors to a normal tenor (Buble). Also Buble doesn't sound far off from Timberlake. JB is singing with more twang and higher larynx though.

[@KajiVocals]

@@clutischannel Don’t misuse these terms. Countertenor is not a voice type but a male singing in head register above the primo passaggio and primarily singing the 18th century castrato repertoire, or early music.

[@nightmare4eVerr1]

Hes a High lyrical Baritone or a low lyrical tenor. Because hes able to mantain a chesty mix upto F#4 with a bright quality, something baritones cant do without straining or making their mix darker. He doesnt access his mix in depth which is why he doesnt sing higher. But for his style of music it works to keep a chesty speaking tone. Average baritones fill find it challenging to do that above E4

[@zeff8820]

Low tenor

[@jinji4609]

​@@zeff8820not really low. His voice is lighter than actual low tenor aka spinto & dramatic tenor IMO

[@firethroughtheskies2648]

​​​​​​@@jinji4609his voice is not just the typical kind of brightness and lightness that would disqualify him drastically from bigger sized tenors. His voice actually kinda resemble taeil nct (who I viewed as an obvious light tenor) and most kpop tenors when belting around his upper 3rd to the rest of his 4th octave. He just employ more rounder vowels, lower larynx chest participation and more open approach which is devoid of nasality and throat based confinement in his belting region but it still isn't exactly that dark or heavy enough to be passed as a full lyric (which is universally accepted to be the regular sized tenor however they still remain as far more uncommon than your usual sweet light tenors in kpop, not as rare as tenor with more dramatic, juicy undercurrent tho which are spinto tenors to be specific. I can't recall any tenors in kpop who sound naturally similar to 'dramatic' since they are basically even more rare than previous mentioned aside from the voice that paradoxically encompass both baritone and tenor because baryton martin = dramatic tenor in terms of passaggio likewise) with flying colours. Even kwill is noticeably heavier and darker and I don't think he's particularly a low tenor (which mean he's still not as dark and low to be one honestly imo) as well. I guess it's because the fact that kwill is the real 'lyric' tenor (lyric tenor itself is simultaneously not a small voice or any kind of light tenor except that person itself sit on the lighter end of 'lyric' tenor then that's still seems fine which might be buble's closest classification too although not sure. Just represent the default class of tenor domain). When I refer to light tenor, I basically point out the one and only same definition of light tenor which excluding high tenor (that's the lightest tenor subtype while also practically being the lightest adult male voice in general. Obviously common in kpop, not as much as the regular light tenors so far that we'd know)

[@firethroughtheskies2648]

@@jinji4609 would you consider both yoseob and rockhyun really the same subtype with ryeowook? I used to label both of them as similar classifications to that ryeowook's instantly due to very solid boyish tone, light/thin qualities and remarkable ease at higher belts. One can argue one of them kinda artificially modify their voice but I personally disapprove that. Would you say kyuhyun is also a high tenor who has somewhat impressive developed lows and slightly darkened his voice via knödel rather than simply a light tenor who tend to sing nasally along with light phonation? Would you say hwanhee is regular (akin to kwill, gunwoo and lee hyun ) tenor with substantial, brilliant low extension on top of metallic voluminous belted pitches or an actual lower tenor with stable high notes that even generate brassy, crusty, metallic undertone in the same fashion as what lower tenors' highs popularly describe as (to me, he seems to lean toward regular tenor side but definitely a tenor in the end regardless. His voice might've lowered to baritone in recent years since I haven't listen to him for awhile but probably still a tenor now ig). Would you consider jung dongha is the same case as buble's on regular basis in your pov.

[@jinji4609]

@@firethroughtheskies2648 Hwanhee is still a tenor and his G4/G#4 is even narrower & lazier nowadays, i would say his voice is already dense without the vowel modification. I'm a Yoseob follower and he being a high tenor would be interesting. Again he can sound somewhat heavier than Ryeowook during King of mask singer time with a weighty approach so i would lean on to lighter spectrum of a regular light Tenor

Not most, it's actually fairly distributed and 50/50 (I believe baritones are still more common tho) excluding basses.

[@edel-ac]

U obviously don’t know a thing !! Buble is definitely a baritone , a typical baritone can sing from G2 to G4 u can’t compare him to John and say that he’s not a baritone like !? His great technique allows him to ascend in bass range and hit notes in the tenor range his vocal range ( E2-Bb4-Eb5 ) he is most comfortable in between these two voice types, making him a great baritone . One of the best technicians , large supported range , great resonance 👌🏼

[@chimanruler15]

@@edel-ac Nope. I'm a very high tenor, and I can sing all the way down to an E2. That doesn't make me a baritone. Michael's voice lies most comfortably in the G3-G4 region, like a typical lyric tenor.

@@chimanruler15 most of the tenor can go down to E2 ! Eg : DIMASH ! He sang F#1 does that makes him a bass or a baritone ? No ! The same with Michael him being comfortable in the G3-G4 doesn’t make him a lyric tenor and you can search about his voice type

[@chimanruler15]

@@edel-ac No, it very well DOES make him a lyric tenor. I know that this is hard for a lot of people to understand, but your range does NOT determine your voice type. Where you feel most comfortable singing does. Michael's low notes are not as strong as those of a baritone, and the higher he singers, the brighter and stronger he sounds, particularly in the fourth octave.

[@zrex878]

he should be the next american idol judge

[@tomgeraci2044]

Tenor. Tenor. Tenor. He has belted a Bb4 before. If a baritone was asked to hit that note he'd probably scream/yell it, not sing it. Baritones can typically only belt to F#/G4 sounding like a singer, and it won't be the most comfortable part of the voice. Basses top off at D/E4, and tenors can top off anywhere between an A4 (baritenor) and a C5 (very trained tenor, or some pop tenors). Anyone who can belt above C5 (or D5 for operatic/classical repertoire) is a countertenor IMO. And I'm not talking about screaming here. I have heard people say that Mitch Grassi, Steve Perry and Bruno Mars are natural countertenors in the pop music world.

[@CipherSerpico]

Tom Geraci A singer’s Vocal type is not determined by their range. Elvis, Bono, and John Lennon all hit C#5s and they were baritones. Chris Cornell could hit G5s, and even go higher-and he was a baritone. He’s definitely not a tenor. *Maybe* a Baritenor, but probably a baritone.

I agree up to a point. Tenors not always have ease at around A4, they even break after the F. and baritones experience big trouble around E4. It really depends on the voice

[@davidpo5517]

Nice vid. Kinda surprised that everything he hit above the G4 was falsetto; I'd of thought with his vocal training he'd go a little higher (not complaining, he's the successful singer not me).

He can. He went up to A4 in Me and Mrs Jones. He just doesn't have to since the music he does doesn't require a big range

[@Timliu92]

Good vocal training is not only about range; it is about making the best use of your best regions as well. Michael Bublé can sing to Bb4 in his full voice, but he sounds best around the E2-Ab4 area as a singer, which is why he sings majority of his songs around that region. As much as you can extend that range with practice, the sound quality is what matters most and should be what you look for to give the best performances or recordings.

[@KajiVocals]

Timliu92 I’ve heard him belt D5s before. And E2 is definitely not in his comfort zone. I’s way A2-A4 is where he sounds the best.

***** you may say you hear whatever, i hear falsetto ;)

[@MrSF247]

I agree. That was falsetto. People get the terms head voice and falsetto mixed up so often for guys. Whether sung strongly or softly, head voice is head voice. It doesn't always mean there's the light, airy quality to it. Falsetto: no vocal chord/fold closure - hence the very, very airy, almost whistle-like quality. Head voice, like chest voice, still has closure of the vocal chords/folds. That being said: Man, what a beautiful voice! Always a pleasure hearing his golden pipes. :-)

[@MrSF247]

***** I specifically wrote, "It (head voice) doesn't always mean there's the light, airy quality to it." That also means it (head voice) can be airy and light. I didn't make a qualifying statement on falsetto being airy or not being airy. What you wrote wasn't contradicting anything I wrote. So, not sure what the "Lol" is for. Often, when people hear the soft, light, airy head voice, they automatically assume it's falsetto when it might not be. That's all I was saying.

[@Axelgonzales-qm7wn]

He's a tenor. why? timbre or color and other factors also... but with timbre for me is enough. He isn't a baritone, sometimes his voice reminds me Justin Timberlake and even Freddie Mercury, I don't care if he sings from A to B, what it matters is how he sounds, and he doesn't sound as a baritone.

Is this an impressive range? Because i'm not trained singer, but I just like to sing songs. And I can go from E2 to A4 in my chest voice and upto B5 in my head voice. I just started learning singing recently by myself for 2 months. My most confortable range is F2-A3 where I don't have to try to sing those notes and voice sounds best. So what am I? baritone or tenor?

[@Bloodmoon17]

To be classified as a tenor or baritone depends on the timbre of your voice. If it's naturally more hefty when singing, you're a baritone. If light and more agile, a tenor. If you truly feel comfortable in that range and you also sound better, you're likely a baritone. I'd classify Michael here as a baritone, for example. Even though he can sing higher, he sounds much better lower than most tenors sound. Just keep in mind that any voice type can sing almost any note. It's about training and technique. The difference are the underlying tones of the voice. I think you're a baritone.

[@galanoth17]

Bloodmoon17 yes you are right. I have realized that even though i can sing those notes, i can sing the notes from E2 to A3 with much ease and voice sounds good in that range, but after that I have to start straining and pushing more and voice doesn't sound good.

That C#5 was a growl (I don’t think those should be counted as part of someone’s range). This guy’s voice seems to be quite limited if you ask me...

[@memoirsofanimperfectbaritone]

[@danidanone203]

AJRA it is not fair to judge him attending only one video. Michael is a well trained vocalist. There are many other videos that show his powerful low notes and a healthy belting. Besides. I consider that he boasts a beautiful timbre

[@josivantorres2218]

You clearly shouldn’t be giving any opinion of vocals at all. The E2 was projected. You can hear the note quite clearly. The C#5 also wasn’t a growl, it was more of a falsetto. The F2 is has depth. If you don’t know what depth is, then just say that. His timbre and whatever else about his voice you don’t like is personal preference, but don’t sit here and downplay his vocal ability. It’s very clear to me that you like to focus on someone’s range and nothing else, but that’s fine cause I’m pretty sure with his technique and resonance, he can fill a room with his voice alone.
