Octave or Less

youtu.be/DL1OCzqEU6Q?t=1m19s

1:19 to 3:19. I like this clip. None of you will ever give me the satisfaction of a Matt Farley clip with decent ratings but I like this clip.

Two Octaves or More

youtu.be/CK8VgpmK6Uw?t=2m45s

2:45 to 4:30 or so. This is also a clip that I like. It ranges B-flat 2 to B-flat 4. I am on my phone and don't feel like looking up the flat symbol. Fuck you.

{Best Singing Spanning an Octave or Less}David Essex - Out On The Street. David creates a sense of mounting tension with changes in tone and pace within a one-octave (F3-F4) range here, which with his combination of theatrical diction and rock aesthetic contributes to a great piece of storytelling. (After you rate the clip I'd recommend listening to the whole song, and indeed the whole album if you can, though it's not on Spotify).
5:37-6:47 (lead vocal)

{Best Singing Spanning Two Octaves or More}Elaine Paige - Only The Very Best (that's not a boast, just the name of the song). F♯3 to F♯5, with strong notes at both ends of the range and lots of good stuff in between.
2:05-4:04 (skippable instrumental 2:21-2:36)
