Hi, extremely thank you, she's one of the best singers in recorded history, and I will do a short vocal range video of her, but you didn't included her live A7 and F8 and other whistles, and she have a F2

['S]

Well thanks 

All seventh octave notes I am aware of are included, in the Questionable Notes spoiler. Considering the breathiness of her second octave notes (a Soprano, after all) any F2 would likely end up in said Questionable Notes spoiler.
 

[vocalsvideos]

The F2 is in a video in my yt channel that I can't open, just search violetta villas F2 on YouTube, probably will appear, and inciude her A7 and f8 in the spoiler please, thank you

[Smitty.]

those notes really aren't worth listening
they're so fucking brief its barely even a note
i really wouldn't trust those notes

[IhateMana]

could be worth letting the thread owner themselves chip in first tho

[kaji]

Lol. That 'F2' clip doesn't go below B2 at all, and the 'whistle' isn't even vocalised.

[glo]

Her voice is like Mina’s... just thicker, yet also rangier. And more operatic

[vocalsvideos]

Kaji, the F2 is a F2, it goes G2-F2

[kaji]

Yeah. No. 

[vocalsvideos]

It goes exactly:No(E3) ruj(C#3) ni(G2) e(F2) it's like extremely surprising to me that someone as you Kaji that makes so much and extremely long vocal range videos and pages in range planet think that it's arround a B2 when it's a f2

[vocalsvideos]

And some of her whistle notes like one of her A7, sound very good even if isn't melodic, just a quick glissando, but at least should be included in a spoiler

['S]

It plainly does not hit F2, hence the thread being in the forum's "completed" board with it credited as G2 since early 2019, and hence her G2 being counted in her entry in The Vocal Range Pantheon.

And, as has been said, all seventh octave notes I am aware of (including this "A7") are already included in said Questionable Notes spoiler.

but the specific notes aren't written in the spoiler

['S]

No dates because I cannot find the exact date where she first performed the adlib, or when the first recording of those specific adlibs was. It is as specific as you could reasonably expect a thread to be. The highest note she has hit on record, B7, is linked and credited specifically, so not sure about splitting hairs over an A7 (which, btw, is actually a G♯7) tbqh.

(Yes I am aware of that line you're referring to in the 2007 impromptu of "Ja Jestem Już Taka", that is the G2 in question)

I’ve analysed this clip millisecond by millisecond. There is no countable F2 there, in any world.

i didn't said dates (i guess that you mean about the timestamp) I mean just to put the note, like A7 next to the title, and no, her acutest note is F8 (I'm not saying that I'm counting it as controlled or part of her vocal range), and there's a F2 apart from the good G2

Ok, for you isn't countable, but the F2 it's there

[Smitty.]

I am agreeing with kaji that there is no F2
And I'm pretty sure the owner already gave what they think on this one

i already wrote exactly where is the F2, listen the video and slow down that part

['S]

Any "F2" does not exist. The "A7" is the G♯7; already included. The "F8" is her literally like her pursing her lips and making a kiss-y noise... not even vocalised.
Now, I've said all the things that I could say.

[Velsarie Vivardesque]

Beautiful thread pic, you can't put that on, she knows she's got it
