I know it must sound flip, but honestly, who cares how super-wide a range is?
If a voice is beautiful, expressive, healthy and flexible, having 3 or 4, or
8 (!) octaves is great...if it is harsh or inflexible or unhealthy, even the
widest range is not something I want to hear in a performer. Just my gut
reaction to the topic. I know some may be impressed from a scientific
standpoint, but I'm not in that group.
