Jim stated on his blog: Of course, the SONG OF GOTHAM CITY is new also. "Angels Arise" was written for this, then "abducted" & clutched away by DOTV, in which it too was ruined. Please try & enjoy. BTW, re comments on my singing in JOKER, that , and this, are done in my REAL & NATURAL range, baritone. I HAD to sing a full octave higher on BAD FOR GOOD cause trax were cut for Meat Loaf. This is my "natural habitat" for song. I really look forward to Rob and TDE doing this. His style will be brilliant and stunning on it. And the band can play the hell out of a complex & striking arrangement I envision. There are a few things that I read from this. One, that Jim is a baritone tenor, not a baritone as such. The reason why I believe that Jim is not a bass baritone is because he does not have the necessary depth of pitch to be in that classification. He can reach notes there, but his pitch does not dwell there. His pitch does dwell in the tenor range and he is most comfortable in the baritone portion of that range. If you have a piano nearby you can take any of the notes in the songs he states his comfort level to be, such as Graveyard Shift, and pull up three octaves above it, to find an approximation of Jim's vocal range. But, you must also be aware that when he is discussing he octaves he is discussing the overall octave residence of the song melodies. Some might call it the key except when you say the key of what note, you assume that it is a neutral note in the middle range, like a middle C. Take that up an octave, and you have "key of C, up one". Jim might be referring to this tonal tuning of his range on the album Bad For Good. Male Soprano: Starts at the highest tenor pitch and goes from there. It's like a girl's range singing. The difference would be clearer. Like I said, I can go and study where one ends and the other begins. > > > > > I'm interested in knowing why you say there is no doubt > > about that.

I still hold to my original statement. I don't believe that. I think that if you listen again, to all the songs along with that, you will also hear that it is Jim. Like I said, no indications anywhere exist that it is anyone but Jim. > Trust me, it's true. It's like saying the sky is blue > (unless you're color-blind :S) > | |
