Singing Wrecking Ball: what your voice is in for
Quiet verse, detonating chorus: the architecture is a demolition arc, and the deciding moment is the first chorus, where the melody jumps from restrained low-middle to full-throated top in a single bar. The researched range runs F3 to A#4, a 17 semitone span, and the energy score of 75 is concentrated almost entirely in those choruses. The technique is supported belt with a clean gearshift: the verse must stay small so the chorus can land big.
Altos fit the entire range, with F3 landing exactly on their floor, and the page's match calls them the natural home. Tenors sit just 1 semitone over the ceiling, manageable by lightening the very top or nudging everything down 1. Mezzos are 4 semitones short at the bottom, so a 4 semitone lift is their honest setting, and baritones face 5 over the top, pointing to a 5 semitone drop. No verified key is stored on this Miley Cyrus entry, so pick your key from the chorus peak, never from the comfortable verse: the verse forgives, the chorus does not.
Practice cue: sing the verse at half volume with a palm on your sternum, then release into the chorus without pushing your chin forward. The contrast is the performance.
