Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Cynthia Erivo uses that range
Gospel-style ornament sits on top of theatre discipline: fast melisma with every note of the run separately articulated, bends into pitches from below, and a rasp added to the front of a word then removed within the same phrase. The belt drives to F5 on real chest weight, and rather than force past it she releases into a clean, unpressed head voice for the notes above. That release is the hard part; most singers either stay in the belt and push or lose the tone entirely in the switch.
