How Brandon Flowers uses that range
Drama drives this tenor: tall vowels, firm onsets, and long sustained tones held with a fast, shimmering vibrato. The middle register is thick and trumpet-like, pushed forward against synth walls, and belts up to E5 keep full chest weight with wide-open mouth shapes. Head voice appears rarely; the instrument prefers to stay heavy. Singers copying him tend to spread the vowel on the big notes — he narrows instead, keeping the sound tall and rounded, and he releases phrases cleanly rather than sliding off pitch.

Bright, theatrical tenor with a trembling edge; thick sustained tones held high over glittering synth-rock choruses.
