Kate Bush was fantastic at her Hammersmith gigs in 2014
Del Amitri are also brilliant, clever songs and excellent musicians.

Agree with Kate Bush too

@SinisterBumFacedCat Agreed; he can do that lovely,deep, resonant voice for By the Sea as an example, and then all the swooping mad stuff for others!

stinkycheeseman · 18/09/2021 00:34

George Michael

NotAnotherPylon · 18/09/2021 00:34

Saw Billy Joel in the early 90s - fantastic.
And Chris Rea was brilliant.

Kitkat151 · 18/09/2021 00:35

Lionel Ritchie😁

Marzipanfruit · 18/09/2021 00:35

Bowie, Marc Almond, Morrisey, Ian Hunter, Nick Cave ( in no particular order, obviously).

MummyJ12 · 18/09/2021 00:39

Freddie Mercury 💗
Totally agree with @ThePluckOfTheCoward

ScienceSensibility · 18/09/2021 00:42

David Bowie

Extraordinary range and emphasis

George Michael

Pitch perfect. Never a duff note. Emotional impact.

Bobby Womack

Late, great, soul man. Sexy, soulful, heartbreaking all within the same song.

NotAnotherPylon · 18/09/2021 00:54

Just remembered Mick Hucknall. He was absolutely incredible.

MeAndDebbieMcGee · 18/09/2021 00:56

Bono

Ohhelppp · 18/09/2021 00:56

Yebba. Hayley Williams.

Rogue1001 · 18/09/2021 00:58

Rick Astley is currently touring doing covers of the smiths

⬆️⬆️⬆️ ironic contribution

WildRosie · 18/09/2021 01:00

When he was actually singing, rather than speaking his songs, Neil Diamond was one of the better live vocalists. I confess Mick Hucknall was good in his prime; I don't know about now.

JessieOh · 18/09/2021 01:01

Pink! Watching her zooming around on a zip wire and still singing so amazingly was incredible. She is an amazing performer.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 18/09/2021 01:01

Yes, Meatloaf is amazing live, fabulous vocals and an incredible stage show.

I’ve never seen her live, but based on others footage Pink must be hard to beat

JamieFrasersBigSwingingKilt · 18/09/2021 01:02

Pink is bloody brilliant live - and does all kinds of acrobatics whilst belting out her hits.
