{Questionable Notes}G♯5 (random falsetto[5])
E♭5 ("Points of Authority" live [He might have done it in some lives but it's always kind of inaudible])
D5 ("The Requiem"[4][2])
C♯5 ("I.O.U.", "Prove You Wrong"[2])
C5 ("Hold It Together"[2])
A4 ("Waiting for the End"[2])
G4 ("The Last Line"[2])
F4 ("Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" [Might be Jay-Z])
B2 ("H! Vltg3" [5])
B♭2 ("High Voltage" [2001 version][5])
A2 ("Get Me Gone" [3], "Good Goodbye" [2], "Running from My Shadow"[4])
G♯2 ("Step Up"[1])
C2 ("Over Again"[4])
- The lead vocals on "By Myself" might touch on an A, since it is supposed to be out of key and I feel like the B♭2s in the bridge have much more sense in the context of the song, I'm counting B♭ as the lowest.
...............................
