I think your asking Pianist, but... it depends. If your top note is the E above middle C, that would be E4, I am pretty sure. If your top note is the E above the C above middle C, than it is E5. If that makes any sense.
I just can't get over that accent, it is grating to me. Good voice nevertheless.
That Shubert Alley video is pretty great. It wouldn't surprise me if the producers of Memphis might want to keep that View performance off the internet.
Thanks for the music clarification!
Meanwhile...here's the MEMPHIS appearace on The View. Poor Chad. That's my worst nightmare...after being late for curtain or not knowing my material.

That was iffy but not as bad as I thought it was gonna be by all the descriptions.
It is a hard note, so I think it's understandable that he'd have trouble with it now and then. I mean...damn, on an "I" and then "E", that high...wow.

American and European note notation is different. The way I learned it, C4 is middle C. For instance, E6 is the highest note that Christine sings in Phantom of the Opera.
I just have trouble with his changing the tone of his voice. It bothers me.
