To ask which current singers have the voices to match Elton John, George Michael & Freddie Mercury?

Female singers:
Kate Bush
Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane/Starship
Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries

It does make me wonder why so many people aspire to fame as there is no training course in dealing with it and being unable to handle/having difficulty handling fame can have terrible consequences. I wouldn’t thank you for it.

Phil Collins did not write Groovy Kind Of Love
"A Groovy Kind of Love" is a song written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager based on a melody by the classical composer Muzio Clementi.

Justin Currie is a songwriting god.

He could sing, later....

I think you're missing the point. I don't disapprove of his gayness, I just think he was one of the most attractive men I've ever seen, and as a woman, I would have been off his radar. And very sad about his death.

Glad to see a PP has mentioned Celeste. She's got a voice that stops you in your tracks.

I think Freddie was genuinely a one off, the combination of an incredibly talented singer, enormous power, fantastic control, an easily identifiable voice PLUS star quality and performance PLUS songwriting talent PLUS being a good pianist and guitar player.

Montserrat Caballe thought his voice was amazing, she thought he could have been an opera singer if he'd wanted to be, and spoke hugely appreciatively of his singing talent. She was one of the greatest opera singers of all time and had sung with the best. He must have genuinely have been special to have impressed her so much.

It is very sad that he died, it is sad the way the press treated him. Its absolutely not a pity that he was gay 🤔 what a thing to say.

I came to say Mika. He's my absolute idol and his voice is unique. Sadly he's not as popular in the UK anymore, although I saw him in concert twice last year here, but he's still huge in other European countries, especially France and Italy. He has often been compared to Freddie Mercury, he's the only singer who comes close to him as far as I'm concerned.

OH YES!
I remember getting absolutely mortal at a work Christmas party where they once (and only once) had a free bar and bottles of wine with the meal. Several of us:
’Christmas time don’t let the be..’
At the top of our voices.
😂

Nothing wrong with Elton's voice, especially back in his prime.

There's something about George Michael's voice that just makes you listen in awe. It's flawless and exciting and makes you feel good. What a gift to the world.

I like to think they'll be others but the 70s/80s was a particular golden era for these amazing all rounders so I'll keep playing them to my children!

Justin Hawkins, EVEN after all the battering he's given himself in the last 20 years. Absolutely fantastic voice.

Have you heard the original by Garth Brooks?

Paul Durham of Black Lab is another singer with a voice guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. Same with Justin Currie, especially his solo stuff, his Parkinsons Diagnosis is so awful.

I think Marti Pellow has a great voice. Loved his lockdown sessions
Miley Cyrus has a fantastic voice. I know people don't like her but her vocals are absolutely amazing

I agree. But George Michael on the other hand.... He had it all, a voice that stops you in your tracks, a song-writing gift, charisma and sex appeal. What a pity he was gay (and dead).

I've been to plenty in my time, but I just "don't get" all the glitzy "showbiz" stuff at all, never have. The "spectacle" just doesn't do it for me, whether it's pyrotechnics, costumes, special effect, etc. Same with musicals - I've seen some West End stage musicals and likewise, they don't do anything for me. I tend to just close my eyes and listen to the music. I'm just not into all the art, dance, etc, never have been. I can't relate to anything that's not real, so dressing up and prancing about a stage does nothing for me. Give me a bloke or woman stood on a stage, in pretty normal clothing, and just singing, and I'm happy!

Tom Chaplin from Keane has an amazing voice, full of emotion and real quality.

Billie Eilish has an amazing voice

Obviously Adele

Who's the lead singer of Biffo Clyro? excellent voice.

Post Malone - great variety

Going a bit older, Bjork's voice is incredible - her ' Debut' album is pure art. just amazing.

Phil Collins didn't write it but he sang it in the film Buster.

I never knew that Phil Collins wrote Groovy Kind of Love! The Mindbenders had the hit with it.

I once saw on tv Kylie doing a live show. She was doing a Lennon and McCartney song, but she couldn't hit the notes. Think it was Help - something that goes up high, anyway. It was arranged so the backing singers took over and sung the words she couldn't. Why choose to perform a song you can't sing?

Agree there'll never be anyone to equal Freddie.

‘Who wants to live forever’ is a shares in Kleenex song.

And 'Too Much Love Will Kill You'.

I saw him live and whilst his singing was great I didn't really feel any rapport/engagement with the audience and that made it a bit flat if that makes sense.

@ItsABeautifulDay25
Me and DH have a 16 year age gap and our music tastes are galaxys apart but we both agree George Michael's version of somebody to Love is unmatched.

Adam Lambert is the definitive comparison as he and George Michael I think are the only two who could sing with Queen after Freddie Mercury. He is incredible.

That guy D.O.? From Exo has a lovely voice. .
