T-Pain, Charlie Puth, and the rest of TikTok are taking the ‘Perfect Pitch Challenge’

Singers of every possible quality are attempting to nail notes out of thin air for all of social media’s entertainment.

Perfect pitch is a superpower. For those of you who didn’t grow up theater kids, perfect pitch is the ability to sing any note dead on with just a prompt.

For instance, someone says, “sing an A flat” and the perfect pitcher sings an exact A flat. It’s wild stuff, but it’s more achievable the more time you spend working with music. However, it’s not always that simple, as a recent TikTok challenge has shown.

The Perfect Pitch challenge has taken over the ‘Tok. No, I’m not talking about the competition where people try to watch all Perfect Pitch films plus the spinoff series without blinking. Rather, in this Perfect Pitch challenge, users attempt to nail notes out of thin air in order to get little digital balls through digital wooden blocks using the “do-re-mi” scale. The results are amusingly all over the map, which just makes it all the more impressive when someone lands one. 

Here are a few key attempts and folks, the spectrum for this one is wide
