Most are between 100hz to 1000 hz. Barry White on the 100hz side, and Mariah Carey on the 100hz side.

well an sm58 peaks around the 3 to 6 khz and doesn't reach noramal levels till past 100hz.. the reason I'm asking is for EQ purposes I like to run alot of high end on vocals unless the singer needs less high end I know their is no way to set an EQ for every singer. Just wondering what kinds of settings everyone else is using. although I know every system should be run diffrently

All you had to do was scroll to the VOCAL RANGE IN TERMS OF FREQUENCY section.

george I saw that after I took another look, sorry. As we all know running sound for 100's of non-professional singers can be a challange and the normal rules may not apply. Screamers, Coners, Whisperers, and just plain bad singers make getting a good sound a constant battle, but my reward comes from avreage singers that I can make sound good and great singers that I let their true voice come thru

Screamers - Use a good compressor/limiter Coners - ??Assuming you mean mic cuppers? If you have a sweepable mid on your mixer, do a hard mid cut at approx. 1K & turn the bass/treble up a smidge. If you don't have a sweepable mid, then a hard cut on the midrange, but some boards have their mid settings set at different frequencies & may not always work very well. Whisperers - Not a whole lot you can do here. I will usually sweep their mid up in the 250-350hz range, cut the high/mid & low mid a bit on the music & back the music volume down a bit. just plain bad singers - Eq adjustments aren't as critical as compression settings & some effects for the plain bad ones.

This is not definitive as everyone will have their own sweet spot frequency wise, but a good starting point!
