[falsetokaiba]

Can you link the top and bottom notes as well? Aside from that, this thread's looking very nice and about ready for Range Stuff :)

[Gilad]

falsetokaiba Done :)

Note: the E2's a bit hard to hear, it's right at the end of the "nooooo" when the chorus comes in.

[falsetokaiba]

The E2 is solid, but I think the note from Song 2 is a G5.

[Gilad]

I think he does make it up to the G♯

[crack]

I'm hearing G5 as well

found an E♭2 that might be countable btw youtu.be/bfS1vSv9Ko0?t=4283

and you might find more notes in the rest of his streams

[Gilad]

Nah that Eb2 ain't it, but thanks! dunno if I'll ever feel like going through those live streams lol.
And if both of y'all are hearing G5 then I guess it's a G5  :-/

[Ej vrm Ofd]

There's a B2 in The Pit on "don't go," a falsetto Eb5 in Round and Round, and falsetto A4 and Bb4 in Someone Else.
The D5 in Lost Cause and the C#5 in Whatever It Takes don't seem like chest voice to me. Can you link the timestamps of when you're getting those from?
Chest G4 and A4 and quiet C3 at about 0:36 in I'll Wait For You. I'm still not sure if any of the G4-B4 harmonies in the verse of On Our Own are him. I didn't hear anything else within the thresholds on the Egyptian EP.
I recommend bolding the Bb4 in Love and the A4 in Next To Me.

[Gilad]

B2 added. The Eb5 is just an Eb4 with a lot of reverb. Someone Else added. The D5 in Lost Cause is a screamed note Dan sings in the background, in my opinion (https://youtu.be/9NN9JY5fbwc?t=03m20s). The last chorus of Whatever It Takes has Dan belting the background vocals along with the falsetto (https://youtu.be/-3b6x-VeFPQ?t=02m35s). A4 in I'll Wait for You already in the thread, and I'm not hearing the C3. The Bb4 is already bolded. The A4 in Next to Me isn't all that steady, and pretty strained.

[Ej vrm Ofd]

In Round and Round, the note I'm talking about is "life is for," not the Eb4 held out before that. The Bb4 from Love isn't showing up as bolded. I didn't notice that there were notes from I'll Wait For You on there. The C3 is on the words "and as." It might be too short for the thread, though. I can hear the belted Db5 in that video. Is the D5 you're talking about at 3:26?

[1899]

Is he a baritone or tenor?

[Ej vrm Ofd]

He's a baritone. It can sometimes be difficult to tell from the studio recordings, but it's fairly obvious in live performances.

I'm not hearing the Eb5, could you link me where you think it is? Fixed the Bb4, it was showing up as bolded on my phone but not on the desktop version for some reason. And yeah the D5's at 3:26.

I hear it right here in the background. I'm pretty sure it's there, but I'm not entirely sure it's not an overtone.
I also found some more songs: All For You there and some unofficial songs on this fanmade channel.

[kaji]

I'm not hearing the E2 at all. The G2 in White Christmas is actually a G#2. Same with Second Chances.

[Gilad]

The E2 is hard to hear, but it's there. There are both G#2s and G2s in White Christmas. And G#2 isn't even in G minor which is the key of Second Chances so no.

[rebaru]

hello! Major(b7)/dominant area chords can have b9's and are context sensitive!!!

so just because it doesn't sound reasonable in paper, it doesn't mean it can't happen

From what I hear? There's definitely a G2 in second chances by listening to it right away. Just saying it can happen and is completely plausible, that's without delving head on into modal interchange, too! A fundamentally minor scale CAN have a flat ninth.

Looked for the version of white christmas, and I can hear the G2 too. youtu.be/Y0keQggTd8c?t=60 "May all your christmases be white"

i'm not really hearing the E2 though? like, I don't know what I'm listening in for

Ah, I didn't notice that G2. I do agree about the E2 though. 

[Gilad]

rebaru Well yeah of course I know about modal interchange and dominant chord areas and all that "jazz". I should've been more clear. It would be highly unlikely for a flat nine to appear in an Imagine Dragons song, which is essentially a pop band. And for the E2, it's at the end of the "one single regret nooooo", on the first beat of the chorus.

Ah, I hear it now. Thank you. I think the timestamp that was posted should start a bit later then. 

[rebaru]

i'm not hearing it

[pantomime15]

Is that Eb5 at 2:25:45 in this video
