That's really cool that they got the information for even some obscure talents like Björk and Beyoncé.

is it the http header? content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1 I suspect the developer used utf8 on his system but has no control over the response headers

In this case he could use http-equiv meta-tags.

Seeing Prince on there made me realize they must be including falsetto in the range, which strikes me as off, a bit. Since I saw Whitney Houston mentioned, Steve Perry would be a noteworthy 80s omission.

Why is that off? Falsetto is still singing. They include whistle register too.

This would be super cool if you could play audio of the artist, or just some representation to give an idea of what this means in real life. I've got no idea what keys play what sound, and even less idea what a "range" is. It would be cool to hear something that would help me understand this.

I was hoping the piano keys at the bottom would play notes, but they don't.

https://youtu.be/JEz1qGS0T1Q Dimash Kudaibergen is a rare combination of uncanny natural ability and a hell of a lot of training. If you are interested in vocal range, I don't know anyone with a greater set of vocal texture. Opera musicians aren't on this list, but wide vocal range is table stakes for that genre.

Ian Gillan? David Byron?
