I know it must sound flip, but honestly, who cares how super-wide a range is? If a voice is beautiful, expressive, healthy and flexible, having 3 or 4, or 8 (!) octaves is great...if it is harsh or inflexible or unhealthy, even the widest range is not something I want to hear in a performer. Just my gut reaction to the topic. I know some may be impressed from a scientific standpoint, but I'm not in that group.
