Line 85:
* Jim Gillette, Lead singer of Michael Angelo Batio's former band, Nitro, belts out a simultaneously awesome and hilarious 30 second falsetto scream in their song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=537hCRIhQKw Machine Gunn Eddie]" (starting at about 49 seconds in).
* Morten Harket, lead singer of [[A-ha]], holds the record in Europe for the longest note ever held in a pop song- namely, their song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiWkqeGuJ0A Summer Moved On]". That note is held for about ''20.3 seconds!''
* John Linnell of [[They Might Be Giants (band)|They Might Be Giants]] singing the end of ''Fingertips'' in [http://tmbw.net/wiki/Podcast_2A this] TMBG podcast starting at 6:18 and ending at 6:37, a full ''19 seconds'' of him singing the letter "I"... He becomes noticeably out of breath the last few seconds.
* "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from ''[[Dreamgirls]]'' is one of the best-known examples in modern theater; it includes not one but '''two''' Incredibly Long Notes at the end, back to back. This is the reason Jennifer Holiday won a Tony in 1982 and Jennifer Hudson an Oscar in 2007. ''There is no mediocrity with this song.'' Performing it is either a singer's [[Moment of Awesome]] or biggest [[Epic Fail]]ure.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb0mRXY6ngs This guy's audition] on ''[[American Idol]]''. Funny for us, but the guy was completely serious.
