{Octave or Less: Axl Rose(?!)}
Yeah I'm using mister four and a half octaves himself in this category, lol. F♯4 – F♯5 is the range here but because of how dramatic, varied and dynamic it is, it really feels like a lot more.
2:29 - 3:21 and then 3:28 - 3:44 ((SKIP 3:21 - 3:28))

{Two Octaves Plus: Marcella Detroit}
In this clip spanning A3 – E6, Marcella uses a looot of her voice - falsetto, mid-rangier notes (basically all the way throughout in the backing but also in the lead at some points), belts and even some sixth octave stuff towards the end.
1:54 - 3:25

{One Octave or Less - Alexi Laiho}From COB's cover of "Aces High", originally by Iron Maiden. Harsh verses, and all really distorted belting in the choruses. Pulls a lot of chesty weight up quite high, and sustains those notes well enough.
2:42-END (can skip 3:54-4:10)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Two+ Octaves - Ronnie Radke}F#2-C#5, building up intensity gradually, and solid at either end. Maybe Ronald's best vocal performance overall, but I pretty much have to drop this one now, otherwise I'd be using the din that is "Tragic Magic" for this category.
1:57-3:08
