{Questionable Notes}D6 ("Elaine"[1a])
B2 ("Queen of the Asphalt Jungle"[1b])
..................................................
[1] Questionable quality
a. Short, raspy scoops
b. Short, breathy anacruses
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.

The voice of the Runaways' signature song "Cherry Bomb". Cherie's chronic disposition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time has made releasing music in any consistent capacity difficult, but she's a surprisingly strong singer to this day and holds a lion's share of the legacy of The Runaways, not to mention her influence as a frontwoman.
Special thanks to Brenda for giving me the idea and her spiritual guidance in my making of this thread! <3
