How Patrick Stump uses that range
Diction is the disguise. Words blur together in a slurred rush, but the pitch underneath is exact, and the voice is a real soul tenor: high mixed belts to C5, quick turns at phrase ends, and a falsetto he can snap into at full speed. The slur removes the theatre-kid crispness that would fight the genre. Learn the melody clean first, then deliberately smear the consonants while keeping every pitch center. Smearing pitch and diction together is just mumbling.
