AUDIO: WOMAN BREAKS RECORD FOR LOWEST NOTE SUNG BY FEMALE
A Welsh woman broke a Guinness World Record for the lowest vocal note sung by a female singer. Helen Leahey, nicknamed the “Bass Queen”, was measured by multiple pieces of equipment at a music school in Koblenz, Germany. She sang from a D5 (“middle D”) down to a D2 note at 72.5 hertz, beating the previous record, which was set by a woman who sang E2. Leahey said: “Everywhere I sing, I hear that nobody has heard a woman who can hit the low notes like me. I guess I wanted to see how unique my voice truly is.”
(NOTE: Morning Sidekick has checked her lowest note against two keyboards and a tone generator, and we believe she is actually going one tone lower, a D-flat. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=109&v=Zxfga8naHso)
* She dropped that bass, and kicked it out the door!
* Her new nickname is The Elephant Whisperer.
* Was she drug-tested for testosterone supplements?
* If only Barry White could have lived to see this.
* The record for the highest note was set by my wife when she saw that spider in the shower.
