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 Tina Turner uses that range
Power lives in the lower middle here, not up top. The contralto stays in chest with a gravel edge sitting right at the front of the sound, onsets are frequently growled, and phrases push and shove against the beat rather than floating over it. Approaching Eb5 the tone narrows into a hard, rasp-edged cry. That grit rides on breath pressure behind a forward, wide-open vowel, which is how it stays loud without closing the throat down.

Reading the numbers
- G2 is a deep floor for a contralto — lower than all but 1 of the 38 contraltos here.
- That floor is a full 10 semitones beneath where a contralto's range conventionally starts (F3).
- No separate full-voice ceiling is cited, so the figures describe a range worked largely in full voice across its 32 semitones.
- The closest range in the library belongs to Bobby Darin (G2–E5), within 1 semitone at both ends.
- Ranked by bottom note, it is the 205th lowest voice in this library; by top note, the 448th highest.
