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 John Lennon uses that range
Placement is narrow and nasal with very little vibrato, mostly straight tone, phrases delivered close to how he would speak them. Notes are often approached from just underneath and left sitting there, which is part of the sound rather than a fault. Near D5 the tone tears into a shout instead of smoothing into a mix. The usual imitation error is adding vibrato and polish and losing the conversational delivery.
