Any 5th octave note is always more projected than a 4th octave note

what did you just say about 5th octave notes and projection

then you say:
Head voices are almost always more projection

i'd tie projection. Two different types... Freddie went all-out not-so-good technique when talking his MOST projected numbers... Tim was more of a classically projected singer, and having a thinner voice to begin with (not by a whole lot though) it round about ends up the same IMO

Those changes do seem reasonable, and All God's People does make a very good case for breath support being tied. Either way it's still 8-6 Lambert I believe.

I agree with most of the changes, however, I don't see this at all:

Consistency: Lambert

Lambert has a superior head voice, but Freddie takes him in low chest, upper chest and falsetto...

I think theyre even in everything except Lambert's head voice and Fred's falsetto... And hte gap is PROBABLY leaning in favour of Lambert, btu i guess a tie could be in order.

Freddie and Lambert even in lower chest? :what?:

Freddies wasn't particularly strong or even present in the majority of his recordings. What we've heard of Lambert's low end is equal in quality and technique, or better, than Fred's.

I got an idea for the top 4:

1. Jackie Wilson
2. Adam Lambert
3. Jeff Buckley
4. Freddie Mercury

There, everybody wins!

Except for Tim Buckley.
