Inspired by a thread about bad singers. In your opinion, which singers have the best voices? I'll vote:

Michael Jackson
Stevie Wonder
James Morrison (underrated)
Christina Aguilera
Celion Dion
Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston
Joss Stone

I'd like to throw in a vote for Tony Hadley. His voice hasn't dimished at all over his whole career

Snap. Live, I think he's probably even better than he was in his young days

Michael Ball - so much better live than on tv

John Barrowman - another amazing live voice also

KeflavikAirport · 05/03/2021 19:05

Charles Aznavour

I’m a huge Elvis fan and think he had an incredible voice...especially in 1968.
Freddie Mercury had an awesome voice too..
Tom Jones has great power.
Barbra Streisand has such a clarity ...so effortless.
Scott Walker had a beautiful tone

CocoPark · 05/03/2021 19:06

Nicole Scherzinger
Sophie Ellis Bextor

JMAngel1 · 05/03/2021 19:08

Also Darius Rucker. Listen to his live version of Let Her Cry on Youtube - it is breathtaking

I like loads of different singers and bands... some of them mentioned here. Morten Harket has an incredible voice, on record and live he's amazing. But as a non-Pussycat Dolls fan, I remember hearing / seeing Nicole Scherzinger sing And I'm Telling You with Sam Bailey on the X Factor (again - don't even really like the show) and being blown away by her vocals

Dowser · 05/03/2021 19:17

Edith Piaf..je regretted rien , la vie en rose

TheVanguardSix · 05/03/2021 19:17
