[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.

[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.

A bolded and spoilered not is not something you see often here

[Macca]

if that G#7 was actually countable it would make her range 2 octaves bigger and a 2 octave note jump

The F#5 link seems to have been typed wrong or something, it just goes to the end of the song

It appears that I was a whole minute off, thanks for noticing (and honestly I would've bolded the notes on "Wishful Thinking" but I liked how the "Blu" ones sounded more)

G♯7 "KENNY BEATS & BENEE FREESTYLE"

That didn't sound overly forced or like something that would harm her, it would be interesting to hear what happens if she works on her whistle register more.

I can tell there is more rage to voice then whats shown in her music

Yes, I absolutely agree. Her style generally keeps her upper register sounding softer and more centered around the upper 4th/lower 5th octave, but I can tell Benee's voice is rather high placed and comfortably full in the 5th octave based on some interviews and the freestyle video. Perhaps she's uninterested in really going much higher given her vocal style, which is totally fine, but it would be really interesting if she developed a whistle register or higher belts.
