    Yes, it was terrible, i just imagined dogs all around the country sitting in front of the telly all of a sudden sitting up and going "wtf was that". I'm glad they called it the "dolphin note" and Rita made fun of it with her own version as no one should make that sound while "singing"; the girls need to be told that is not a high note, it's just a high pitched screech.

    Whoever arranged the song and the song key was actually the one at fault. The normal note and the key she was singing before the whistle note was all wrong for the song and loses the melody and feel of the song.

    Following that key, the whistle note she was meant to hit and aiming for was C7, but she didn't quite make it and hit a Bb6 instead, so it sounded out of tune and was too piercing because she was clearly not prepared for it and prepared to sing it with the proper placement or it was too high for her. C7 in general is too high and you'll see most singers who can sing it do not arrange it into a song so that if for any reason they can't do it on the day, there isn't an issue and on a day they can, they incorporate it as an ad-lib.

    Whistle notes are a tricky thing, so for 4th Impact to do it live on TV, the key arrangement and whistle note should have been lower and should've been one that was within their comfort zone and one they can hit, rain, sleet or snow.

    The note was awful, a lot of the song sounded off key and completely lost the melody and feel of the song. Singing a song well isn't just about high notes, and the fact that the judges praised it, tells you their comments are practically scripted and pre-rehearsed. You could praise them for attempting and hittiing the notes they did, but it should be acknowledged that they didn't go with the song, were off key and utimately completely butchered a much-loved classic.

    And I think for 4th Impact, it was the pressure to repeat a moment from their past that everybody who voted for them to sing this song was probably expecting, but it wasn't the right day and it didn't quite happen.

    Even the fans could tell that note was off by a million miles - don't be so bloody naive, even if my favourites don't sing well at least I can admit it

    I did vote and if I have an opinion bout the terrible whistle note as it is a singing competition and not a popularity contest I will say what I think - deal with it it's a forum!

    Yes, it was truly horrendous, and I do like 4th Impact and thought they sang the song reasonably well apart from that note which spoilt it.

    Whatever..

    This arguments 'bout 4th Impact and fans and haters are taking to such extent now..Pretty low not good anymore..Gotta rest let the haters have good time and delusions, unleash them all then while it's still hot..

    I will just support my fave act 4th Impact now..Full of love and support from their fans, I love that more than haters comments..

    As a fun of these lovely ladies, I will now only follow their good stuff and good vibes towards to anyone. I think that's better than give more effort to bashers as much as they do effort just to get a buzz.. It's just shame and tiring.

    Let's watch who gets booted off, I hope 4th Impact survives.

    Everything here ****rolls eyes*** Whatever...Hands down..Those stuff makes anyone smile and hobby. So be it for connoisseurs.:cool:

    Okay so let's just get some Perspective, mariah Carey has a whistle register as does minnie ripperton. However listen to emotions for example - that's a whistle, play back 4th impacts attempt then you will understand why people have said it was totally shit - okay it's not being a hater it's the truth.

    On a technical level that was nowhere near a whistle note, I don't know what that was. Having grown up listening to mariah seeing her live like 5 times, and hearing a whistle note - that bird did not whistle okay!

    I don't ever want to hear one again. Even one that isn't off key is a truly hideous sound. It's not done because it sounds good but solely to prove that you can. Please don't bother.

    You can only speak for yourself.

    Many people will have heard of singers like Minnie Riperton, I'd heard of her years ago, so the whistle register will not be new to a lot of people.

    I agree. I just think of it as high pitched squealing that only dogs can hear. I wasn't aware it had an actual name.

    It's a horrible sound that is only done to show off as it serves absolutely no purpose or adds nothing

    As I've said above, I have heard the high pitched squeal before but never heard the term 'whistle note'
