But if we're GOING to do this old song and dance again, I put forward that Prince's vocal type is "The Bari Formerly Toned as Tenor" The first notes that I found that don't sound like fry to me, is the really poor F#2 from "there's lonely" and then the ok G2 from "future soul song". He uses every register, and he could well be a low tenor or something. Then swap bari and tenor, idgaf

I didn't wanna have to come clean, but...
At some point in 1998, while during a trip to London, I stopped at a pub. It was nice and quiet there, but as I downed my pint of Carling, sat at a table was the man, the myth, the legend himself... Prince Rogers Nelson! I tried my darndest to contain my excitement, but at one point I had to use the lavatoire. So I hopped to the bog lickety-split and began pushing out a pinecone, when I heard the unmistakable sound of a door opening, and a deep voiced grunt as some bloke walked into the restroom. I heard him potter over to the urinal, and began draining the lizard.
He pissed loud as fuck, comparable to the sweet sound of sizzling KFC. Then, I heard the guy moan and ramble in a very Corpse Husband type voice, "fuck me... all these years of trying to sing the 7th octave... I've done it... it's pain to speak in the 2nd octave, it is!" He then started singing a note-perfect rendition "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic".
At this point, I'd finished up, and the guy mumbled "fuck me..." and the guy was actually Prince! I was like "wow Mr. Prince I had no idea you were a bass all along" is what I would've said if he didn't threaten me and said "listen you little shit... you don't tell anyone about this" but I freaked out so and acted in self-defense. I dropkicked him in the tibia, then took his body into the stall and flushed him down the toilet. This worked because Prince is only like 4'6.
To this day, I can never forgive myself knowing what I did. I'm glad Prince survived, but I now live with the truth of what I've done... oh yeah, and Prince really is a bass.
