Has got the best singing voice you've heard. For me it's James Arthur. I know there are more powerful voices out there but I just think he has such a lovely unique tone to his voice. Who would you choose?

Hayley Westenra, Nora Jones and George Michael (RIP) come to mind. And a few people that I know personally who don't work as professional singers, or not for their main job.

A couple of hits late 80s with Hue and Cry .. Labour of Love, Violently, Looking for Linda.
A million songs where his voice takes you to warm, jazzy NY bars of yore (via Glasgow)
James Arthur... not today..oh no.

I don’t think I know James Arthur’s voice at all, I don’t listen to any modern music, but appreciate I may well be missing out. I’m mostly stuck in a 60’s and 70’s time warp and I wasn’t even born til 73!

I have loads more but my mind is blank of course…🙄

Sia. Can handle the most complex songs with ease.

George Michael ❤

The bloke out of Elbow. He has a voice that can snap knicker elastic across a football stadium.

Face like a bulldog chewing a skunk, though.

I've never heard of teddy Thompson but I'm intrigued and I'm gonna check him out on you tube now:)
He is the son of folk singer Richard Thompson.
