I've seen sources where Whitney is 5 octaves; others where she is between 3 and 4. You know who else is 5 octaves? Axl Rose. Not sure many would put him in the pantheon of great voices.
The best voice isn't someone who can bellow the loudest, with the broadest range, and in key -- though my point before was that even if it were, Whitney probably scores pretty high on all 3 fronts. It's more about how her voice connects with the audience.
