So the "Saga" D6 and E6 turned out to not be legit? Cool to see that the A2s were though.

A lot of quick (minus 1 second probably) yelps and voice cracks were being counted. Also, 3 of the O.G. A2s were not audible to me at all, but fortunately, I found a newer song of hers with A2s.

Fully aware you state you're going to add guest appearances but I just wanted to go ahead and point out that I think she has a F5 in the background of this verse? (Not the upper harmony, but a separate backing vocal.) I'm assuming it's her anyway but you'd know her timbre better

If it's the reverb laden sound above the verse, I think I'll mark it as questionable for now. Not really sure that it's her, might even be a synth. Thanks for bringing the performance to my attention, though.
