The "I'm not gay" part was truly offensive. You must realize being gay or straight doesn't make a man's vocal range. Tons of straights are Tenors and Countertenors (High-Voiced Males) and lots of gays are Basses and Baritones (Low Voiced Males)
You have to remember that he is a guy, and a B4 is actually in the mezzo soprano range. Which actually is a bit impressive. That on top of the fact that he also sounds as good as he does in his falsetto, it really is rather impressive. You know, tbh.
There's no note in one voice types range. Range doesn't determine vocal fach/voice type. Timbre, vocal weight, tessitura, passaggios, stamina and other things do. Nina Hagen can hit a mixed Eb6 belt, yet she is a Contralto.
actually no, he did an interview saying he that was actually him singing that but no one believed him and then did it live right there. if you listen closely you can tell its him
@@asherrodriguez796 LOL this comment is from 7 years ago!! (obviously, I changed my name since then) I'm dying. But here's a link to the interview I'm referencing :) th-cam.com/video/u3G9ifpK578/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
I wish I had a larger vocal range like Chris. I am a girl and I can belt from E3 to G5 (I can sing D3 on a good day). I have a powerful voice and can sing all of the notes in my range with ease (since I've been trained as a belter and I naturally have a dramatic tone to my voice). Luckily my range gives me the opportunity to sing mezzo-soprano, alto, and occasionally a higher tenor part (which I only have to sing when the boys in school choir need help with their notes). I just wish that I could sing a lot lower. My higher notes are getting better and I've expanded my range by a couple of high notes, but I wish that I could expand my range more. I don't think I'll ever get to three octaves like Chris, but I can only try. I mean, if I can belt over two octaves comfortably, maybe I have to potential to sing some higher and lower notes that will just not be as comfortable for my voice. Edit: I JUST HIT AN A5!!!!!!!
@willivanilli07 Yes, Chris Colfer confirmed it in an interview a while back. He also demonstrated the ability to speak in a much lower voice than his normal, comfortable speaking voice on George Lopez Tonight.
Amazing Range. Some people on here are throwing out tech terms like head, chest, mixed and falsetto. It would be nice for someone really in the know to clarify these terms. IMO I believe he does use all of the above and they are all different ways of producing sounds by varying the length and thickness of different parts of the vocal folds. i could listen to him all day but can live without some of the note sliding he does. If you want to hear a true counter tenor search for Alfred Deller.
Hey Cade, question for you, is Chris' G5 in "It's All Over" falsetto or mixed? Sometimes I can barely tell male falsetto from mixed(example: the ending F5 in Hot Times by SM the ballad)
@stardusth2o i read somewhere that chris actually has an unusually high voice he can hit an f5 in full chest voice so mabe the quality of his voice in general which is kinda airy ..makes his highnotes seem like falsetto...just sayin
He can really hit an A2! I heard it in a radio interview like a long long time ago where he sang a few lines just to prove that his voice was not synthesized. But I think the interview was taken down for whatever reason cos I can't find it anymore...
@LingLingRox He's not a "high tenor". He's a countertenor, and thus specializes in his head voice/falsetto to achieve a more feminine sound/range (hence, Defying Gravity). His chest voice is much more of a baritone, or even a bass-baritone if he wants, but he isn't as trained in it as he is his falsetto, and thus he doesn't use it often.
@4evaflyleaf It's nothing but technique, you can definitely go there, my range is about C-C#2 to C-D6, it's just practise, try singing something with Bobby McFerrin, that's great practice.
@AliceItoko : Thank you, I really thought he was ! Cuz his voice does seem like one in some notes I guess je only reaches really high notes for a guy or something.
Countertenors are tenors. They are a subtype. It goes like Bass (and all subtypes like Lyric, Light Lyric, Dramatic, Young...), Baritone (Lyric, Light Lyric...), Tenor (Light, Spinto, Lyric, Dramatic, Countertenor...). Voice types are 6, but they have many sub-types.
@willivanilli07 He's also a baritone,like u, with a developed falsetto. And a faked light timbre on his normal voice to match the girliness of the falsetto. I know from personal experience. I am a countertenor myself. High baritone with normal voice, a soprano with falsetto(up to a high D=D6, where middle c is C4)
there alex newell who can sing a F6 i dont know how low he can sing but he has the highest range in glee so far and then u got adam lopez which he can sing A1 to C8 which is amazing high for a male. but voice style Chris Colfer and Amber Riley has the best voice on glee other than their son

Lmfao at the 1:02 picture
Where is that from? Lol
His range was much wider than I thought it was, very impressive =-) Good work!
actually no, he did an interview saying he that was actually him singing that but no one believed him and then did it live right there. if you listen closely you can tell its him
What interview

I LOVE Chris Colfer. and that picture at 0:55 OMG!!!!
He's amazing!
I love his low voice.
Excuse me? Tenors can belt up to C5, some F5. THAT's impressive.

HOLY SHIT I DIDNT KNOW I COULD HEAR ANYTHING THAT HIGH
I love that guy! His voice is amazing!
His voice is awesome.
its from a live performance you can find it if you type in chris colfer high note
Btw the first f#5 is a belt and so is the Bb5. Very mixed indeed, but belts noneless, the D5 is a A4.
Hey Cade, question for you, is Chris' G5 in "It's All Over" falsetto or mixed? Sometimes I can barely tell male falsetto from mixed(example: the ending F5 in Hot Times by SM the ballad)

So amazing, don't know if there's anyone who can match his range!!!
He's so talented!
chris amazing as alwys
I love love love Chris! He is so talented. :'3

this child has an amazing voice :D
He’s not a child
This was a super impressive video(:
what would you all say his voice was in Happy Days? It was rather for him low but I'm not a singer so i don't know what range that would be.
correction, he is not a tenor, he not a countertenor, he is a male soprano.
A male soprano IS a Countertenor, called "Sopranista". It isn't a voice type, it's just a more rare Countertenor voice.
he belted a D5 in Love Shack:) please add it on the video
@willivanilli07 Chris is a Counter Tenor. He goes both ways.
@Astariel2525 Yeah, I love bring a high tenor :) very little training and I have almost 3 octaves.
i love kurt.....sometimes
@willivanilli07 In an interview Chris says it's him unaltered.
That D5! *dies*
@4evaflyleaf It's nothing but technique, you can definitely go there, my range is about C-C#2 to C-D6, it's just practise, try singing something with Bobby McFerrin, that's great practice.
What was that D5?
how about the last note in The Boy Next Door?
thank you holy FUCK i know im five years late but jesus fucking christ that gives me goose bumps every time
@dagnyprzybyszewska yeah, he was on every video, so i told him off, and he blocked me
Oh wow! COuld someone tell me where the fabulous verbroto at 2:28 is from? And what song 2:20 is from? Please and thank you :3
10 years later but better late than never haha!! 2:20 is Like A Prayer, 2:28 is Mr. Cellophane!!
@AliceItoko : Thank you, I really thought he was ! Cuz his voice does seem like one in some notes I guess je only reaches really high notes for a guy or something.
if u don't mind a quick question is f5 the and I do mean the high f note in defying gravity
Yes it is
@stardusth2o Can you make a vocal range video for Damian Mcginty ? It's cool :)
Can you give me some kind of link from 0:15 to 0:25? Just the audio?
@BeeESeeKayWhy Thats from the Rolling Stone shoot i think...
The last Eb5 and the first F#5 are mixed voice!!!!!
@cynnthemanevolant you can listen to this and you'll see it was him. I thought there was somebody at the back singing for him /watch?v=u3G9ifpK578
What is the first song
@ricecrispies101 I actually and very interested in knowing what his vocal range is.
he's not tenor, he's countertenor...
Countertenors are tenors. They are a subtype. It goes like Bass (and all subtypes like Lyric, Light Lyric, Dramatic, Young...), Baritone (Lyric, Light Lyric...), Tenor (Light, Spinto, Lyric, Dramatic, Countertenor...). Voice types are 6, but they have many sub-types.
u do know u used rose turn like times
@willivanilli07 He's also a baritone,like u, with a developed falsetto. And a faked light timbre on his normal voice to match the girliness of the falsetto. I know from personal experience. I am a countertenor myself. High baritone with normal voice, a soprano with falsetto(up to a high D=D6, where middle c is C4)
RPDLTS 8 years later, this is the most ridiculous thing that I’ve read as a would-be vocal coach.
You forgot about pink houses
Where is 1:51 and 3:28 from?
whats the pic from 1:45 from?
@dagnyprzybyszewska he's on some christina aguilera video, trolling the fans
What song is at 0:15 (A2)?
@KaoruHitachiinBunny i'm confused, so is an effeminate gay male bad? it seems like that's the problem with people not liking kurt
well he can go prettyy high ^^ but idk why but i go extremely high 0.0 like an e7 sometimes, all the times e6 ^^
What Song Is 0:38 From???
where is 3:30 from? :D
where is 3:05 from?
@KaoruHitachiinBunny oh, thanks for explaining :)
there alex newell who can sing a F6 i dont know how low he can sing but he has the highest range in glee so far and then u got adam lopez which he can sing A1 to C8 which is amazing high for a male. but voice style Chris Colfer and Amber Riley has the best voice on glee other than their son
@WuTisNm Rose's Turn
Please make one for darren criss. :)
He Isn´t Tenor ??
what's chris's Bb5 from
@xSaikusu i'm sure he does
@Buttercup0109 Roses Turn from laryngitis
@willivanilli07 Yep, we are.. watch?v=u3G9ifpK578
ok that A2 wasn't him. he was just lip syncing that line in the episode. im not hating on him, i just know that it was a synthisized note
No. Even trained baritones can hit B4. I'm a guy who's hit puberty and I can do Bb5 in mixed :|
@Stefano94x how?
good to know but i bet he has so much more of head voice like C6 to C7 vocals
I think he is a castrato, he does sound like one in his high notes, correct me if I'm wrong but I think he is one.
Wasn't live.
He didn't sing live.
Whatever.....That's your opinion.
What is song from 2:58?
Le Jazz Hot
Damn my range is g#2 - c#5 with headvoice to b5
that A2 CLEARLY wasn't his
Is it
@dagnyprzybyszewska just let him go, he's a troll
0:14 song please :C
+Alvaro Pan Con Nutella "Give up the Funk" from Season 1.
2:12
1:02 song?
+Ярема Онишкевич "A House is Not a Home"
***** "Give Up the Funk"
y'all KNOW that he didnt actually sing the give up the funk beginning there's no damn way
Yes he did fuck off
He did look it up
He uses head above B4... nothing impressive tbh.
The high Bb (Bb5) was pure mix.
:D
Chris doesn't sing live.
Malphas Mikaelson only in the glee live but other then that he doesn’t sing live
That A2 was BS...
superx57 he's literally done it live
You forgot about pink houses
