The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.
Albums like 'Major Moves' or 'High Notes' - those still sound good to me.
When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.
I've been doing that song ["Live Wire"] on my own for years, so no, I'm not worried about [high notes] at all.
Something about Mariah Carey's songs really had me wanting to sing high like her.
But as far as dream roles - I know this is so expected of me, but I would to play Elphaba in 'Wicked' on Broadway. I have a lot of dream roles, but that's like my main one because of the vocal track. I love belting high things!
Everyone thinks I'm singing falsetto, but that's my normal singing voice.
As much as I appreciate people putting me in the category of these very acrobatic belters, I feel like my strength is my... interpretation and my truthfulness with songs, and I don't want young people to think it's all about the high notes that they have to hit.
It seems to me that most people are impressed with just three things: how fast you can play, how high you can play, and how loud you can play.
I still struggle with my low notes. It's just always been something for me: I'm not a low singer. I have a really high voice.
I used to get very angry as I was getting older, because my voice was breaking. So I've trained my voice so religiously through my teenage years, because I wanted to be able to hit the notes that those females hit. And I can, which is great.
'Fix' - definitely, when I first heard the demo of that song, it was kind of intimidating because of the high falsetto parts. It was one of those things. I got into the vocal booth and wasn't sure I could do it or how well I could do it. There was something about the song that I really took to.
I'm an intense singer, so I look like I need the toilet every time I hit a high-note.
When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.
In Spanish, for whatever reason, I lean more toward the high notes.
I sing in a higher register, and you haven't heard that on the radio in years.
Everyone knows how physically demanding 'Newsies' is in terms of the dance, but even the guys in the toughest tracks remark that the singing in this show is often the hardest part. The newsboys are teenagers, and Alan Menken wrote this music in the top of a guy's range.
I feel like the falsetto is my niche and my sound and something different.
Franco Corelli is my favorite tenor.
Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.
Musicals are made of several climaxes that keep growing and growing; when you think it's over, it still continues growing up in plateaus.
When I was younger, I did what I now call 'extreme singing.' I could do this thing where I would sing really high. I can't really do that anymore, at my age. My voice has shifted. It's changed.
When I sing, there is an almost constant struggle with pitch and with reaching notes in the higher register.
For some reason, my voice doesn't age. I can still hit those high harmonies just like I did back in the day.
Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not?
