Beyoncé Vocal Range: A2–E6 and Songs You Can Sing

Beyoncé's vocal range

Beyoncé sings from A2 up to E6, a span of 43 semitones, or about 3.5 octaves. None of the sources we used names a voice type, so we haven't given one.

What Beyoncé's voice is like

Classic FM puts Beyoncé's range at A2 to E6, a little over three and a half octaves. Rolling Stone says that range has carried her through funk, country and hard rock, sometimes on the same album. It also rates her as good a rapper as she is a singer, which shows in how rhythmic her phrasing is. Her singing nods to heroes like Prince, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson, according to Rolling Stone.

Beyoncé songs to sing at karaoke

These are the Beyoncé songs from our karaoke guides, with the range of the vocal line and how hard they are on our difficulty scale. Tap a song for why it works in a bar.

A song's range is the stretch of notes its melody covers, which is usually much smaller than Beyoncé's full range. If a song sits a little high or low for you, ask the KJ to change the key, or try it in the key changer first.
