I think it all depends on which pop music style you're referring to. Even the word "rock" refers to many different styles that can't be categorized together.
And I don't believe Whitney Houston, Tony Braxton, Celine Dion, etc sing within their talking range, or that Mariah Carrey "whistle-talks"! hehe
And I don't agree that male pop singers go usually much higher either falsetto doesn't count! ).

this is exactly right. female pop singers, generally, sing in the same voice they speak with while female opera singers sing in something else (i won't start that fight again). when female opera singers look at pop music, they usually remark on how low it is while pop singers worry about the high notes.
it is hard to generalize what male pop/rock singers have to sing. although, i would say that it is usually on the high side, relative to what male opera singers have to sing. it is rare for rock singers to make distinctions between voice types and, it is a frequent misconception that the higher you can sing, the better you are.
