This is somewhat ethereal

Georgia Brown is a Latin American singer. She held the record for highest note ever sung in 2006 (the record has been taken from her by a BLOKE from Queensland - Adam Lopez). The thing is, Adam Lopez emits the notes, but doesn't really sing them. Georgia Brown on the other hand has whole catalogue of songs with glass shattering notes. Singing this high is known as singing in the whistle register (Mariah Carey was famous for it). Sounds like a whistle, but the sound is made by vocal chords, not pursed lips and blowing air. It's pretty spectacular watching her do this.

That pitch is designated C♯8 in note-octave notation; it is one semitone above the highest note on a standard grand piano or 4435 Hz. Before achieving this record, Lopez held the previous Guinness World Record for singing a D7 in 2003. He broke his own record in June 2005.
as for Miss Brown, I think it made the next door neighbours dog run away in terror
