What the voice is asked to do

A duet in which both singers share the same verse melody at the same octave, before the famous wordless climb hands the top of the song to a wide-open belted D5. That one moment is the whole test: everything before it is folk-simple, and then the bridge asks for the biggest, freest sound a voice can make, cold.

Figures are the commonly cited range and published key for the studio version (Musicnotes original-key duet arrangement, G3–D5 in G major; Gaga adds an E5 head-voice run beyond the written top), not lab measurements. No lyrics or melody are reproduced here — this page is about what the song demands of a voice.
