Dynamic, dreamy and definitively '80s, Belinda Carlisle's career has seen her venture into a number of different musical genres. She initially fronted girl group The Go-Go's in the early '80s, establishing herself as a (their debut was the first number one self-penned album by an all-female band) before she branched off on her widely successful solo career, releasing guilty pleasures like "Heaven is a Place on Earth". Her bold voice was what paved the way for her success; an instantly recognisable soprano with a distinctive rasp in her upper register (and confidence in her lower register), her vocal delivery was always bright and energetic. Though somewhat boxed-in in terms of how she used her range, her individual vocal flair and exuberance shone through in each of her albums.
{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
A performance showcasing both her upper and lower chest register.
Belted notes up to E♭5!
Lows throughout (mostly spoken), but some cool high singing too later on.

Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range.
