Fact check: Who can sing the highest note in the world?

1. Summary of the results

The question of who can sing the highest note in the world has been addressed by various sources, with some citing Guinness World Records as the authority on the matter ^[1]. According to these records, Wang Xiaolong holds the record for the highest vocal note by a male, achieving E8 (5243 Hz) on December 27, 2017 ^[1]. However, other sources report that Amirhossein Molaei achieved an even higher note, F#8 (5989 Hz), on July 31, 2019 ^[2]. Additionally, Georgia Brown is mentioned as holding the Guinness World Record for the widest vocal range, spanning 8 octaves (G2-G10), and is also reported to have achieved the highest recorded note sung by a human, a G10 ^{[3] [4] [5]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks context regarding the specific records and achievements of different singers. For instance, Mariah Carey is known for singing high notes, including an F sharp 7, but this is not the highest recorded note ^[4]. Other sources discuss the top 10 highest high notes in music history, featuring singers like Whitney Houston and Beyoncé, but do not provide a clear answer to who can sing the highest note in the world ^{[6] [7]}. It is also worth noting that the highest note whistled is 10,599 Hz, achieved by Joshua Lockard, but this is not necessarily the same as the highest note sung ^[8]. Alternative viewpoints suggest that the highest note sung by a human is a matter of record, with Georgia Brown being the person who can sing the highest note in the world, according to some sources ^{[4] [5]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be considered misleading, as it does not provide a clear answer to the question of who can sing the highest note in the world ^{[1] [4] [5]}. The statement also lacks context regarding the specific records and achievements of different singers, which could lead to confusion ^{[2] [6]}. Furthermore, some sources may be biased towards certain singers or records, which could influence the information presented ^{[4] [5]}. It is essential to consider multiple sources and evaluate the information critically to form an accurate understanding of the topic ^{[1] [2] [6]}.
