Actually, I take that back. I've listened to his other D2's just now, and this spoken note is the strongest among them: youtu.be/WugBNBV9pA8?t=106. Gener probably fooled me. I'm moving this into the spoiler.

Edit: Coincidentally, I'm notewatching Chocolate and Cheese Deluxe on Spotify right now, and he uses a pitch-shifter on "I Got It" that sounds a lot like what he could have used to do the "Happy Colored Marbles" line. I'm pretty sure you're right. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Okay but I have heard him do the "Happy Colored Marbles" D2 live and while it didn't sound exactly the same it was like the same weight

(This is me saying unspoiler it)

Yeah what Goob said, every single live recording I've seen he's hitting D3s so imma need that link binkity boi

Imma bout to do my 2nd 180 right now. I am now back on the no-D2 side.

Here's some live performances where a D2 can be heard:
youtu.be/wnoNuWRDGRs?t=28
youtu.be/_hPkDA0wDeo?t=34
youtu.be/Sek8ki-L1OY?t=38

In each of these, Gener is singing a higher line while the low part is being sung. So the D2's are either from playback or from Deaner, who by the camera work in the concerts that have video, is evidently the right-hand-man when it comes to hitting this note.

I'm moving it back to the spoiler again lol.

I bolded both an A4 and a B4 from the live performances of Buenas Tardes Amigos. I think they're both worth bolding because one's chestier, while the other's more mixed - and they're both particularly strong instances of either tone.

I also want to note that I put the Yolk whistle note in the Spoiler as an E6. There are a couple things getting in the way of counting it, which I've noted in there. But either way, it's a cool novelty.

Very, very nice finds! Thanks.

On another note, I want to get the community's opinions on something. Where do y'all think Gener's highs should start: E4, F4, or F#4? On one hand, the E4 (and F4) section help make the thread fuller and represent more songs. On the other hand, his E4's seem rather mid-range (even bolds), and it isn't until around F# that he seems to push his voice.

I'm fine either way. What do you all think?

Edit: I know I shouldn't reveal my side, but I lean slightly in favor of E4 to keep the high range larger. But I still don't think of that as a high note for him.

[Goober]

Thinking they should start on F4

[Anacrusis]

I've removed the E section (while saving the code elsewhere), to see how the thread looks without it.
