Can you sing Sorry by Beyoncé?

Sorry is deceptively easy on paper and rated that way here: a researched range of G3 to D5, a 19 semitone span, mostly spent in an unbothered mid-low chant. Beyoncé saves the altitude for quick flips up to the top, and those brief peaks are the deciding moment: they must sound tossed off, not climbed to. The technique is an unpressured flip into light mix or head voice, with attitude carrying what volume usually would. Singers who belt the high moments break the spell; the whole point is that nothing here sounds like effort.

Altos fit the entire song, with the top landing exactly on their ceiling and the bottom resting 2 semitones above their floor: natural casting. Mezzos keep 3 semitones of headroom up top but sit 2 under the floor at the bottom, so a 2 semitone lift is their honest setting. Tenors face 5 semitones over the ceiling and would take a 5 semitone drop. No verified key is stored on this entry, so keep those adjustments directional. If you want the same voice in a completely different register workout, Texas Hold 'Em from the same artist covers even more ground.

Practice cue: sing the chant sections seated and slouched, deliberately casual, then keep exactly that vocal posture when you stand for the high flips. The body should not announce the climb.
