You're welcome. Actually, I was being a little snarky but I'm glad it didn't seem that way. ;) It can be tough to get used to, but it really is done all the time, for a variety of reasons. I don't doubt that McDonald has that climactic note, but it is on a potentially awkward vowel and they may have felt that she'd be able to sing it without altering the vowel so much in a lower key. If you want to hear something funny, listen to June Bronhill sing it in a higher key on the Petula Clark recording. At the end, which I think climaxes on a B flat rather than Neway's A flat, Bronhill's last two words sound something like, "yah AHHHH!" Whatever she sings on the last note seems to have no consonants at all and is certainly not an E vowel.
