Thanks.
Falsetto doesn't count in classical and neither does head voice, which is how most rock singers sing. So it's kinda hard to define the vocal ranges of rock singers, since they sing in a very different way than classical singers.

My range as a rock singer is about 4 and a half octaves, but as a classical singer I would be a baritone. But I can still reach notes of a mezzo-soprano, but it's not classical, it's head voice and/or falsetto.

Jon's range is a mix between baritrone and soprano, the highest notes he can hit are around high A, but he rarely does it anymore. Sounds like he can hit higher notes if they are short, but longer high notes (higher than high E) seem to give him trouble.
