The Wikipedia entry cites "Bad Romance" as an example of this whoop, which is one of the lowest-sung female performances I can recall off the top of my head.

I don't think the whoop is about pitch -- it's about intervals. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN23lFKfpck

Does Bad Romance even have the millennial whoop?

It does, its just harder to tell. Its right at the beginning and I believe in the chorus as well.

Its just not as good of an example as Owl City Good Time https://youtu.be/7oBU7d5oenQ?t=62
