Can you sing Pop?

Pop by NSYNC runs from G#2 to G#4 — 2 octaves.

It sits inside none of the 7 classical voice types in the original key. The smallest move that gets it into one is down 1 semitone, into the baritone range.

The two notes were read from 2 sources and the row is marked medium confidence. Two sources, and they disagreed. This is the narrower one.

Which voice types it fits in the original key

The bands are the classical voice types as the sourced Wikipedia articles state them. A voice type is settled by timbre and tessitura as well as span, so a band this song fits is not on its own your voice type.

Every band the song is measured against, in the key it was recorded in.
