{Questionable Notes}G6 ("No Gettin' Over You"^[1a])
C3 ("I'm on Your Side"^[1b])
..................................................
[1] Questionable quality
a. Brief, shaky trills
b. Brief, breathy dips

Questionable notes are any notes with a questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) weak vocal fry, uncontrolled slides, very short notes, notes hit at an ambiguous pitch and notes where it is unclear who is singing.

..................................................
• Blue denotes falsetto passages.
• Bold denotes outstanding passages.
• Italics denote non-melodic passages.
• Underlines denote obscured passages.
