i heard that a very young Julie Andrews had a 4 octave range. I think a good singer needs to have at least 2 1/2 octaves. What does it take to do the National Anthem? (sorry Big Jim I mean the USA national anthem) Isn't that about 2 octaves and yet most singers have to be careful what key they are in to be sure they can hit all the notes without sounding like a dying bangee. Jordan Sparks did a great pre-super bowl version of it this afternoon- Wow it was great- with an arrangement I have never heard before- it had a timing signature that i could not figure out- does anyone know? Was it 5/4 time or something?
