To ask who

[mlj123]

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?

Yebba (Abigail Smith)- My Mind is probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen😭

Luther Vandross

Gregory Porter
Sam Smith
Sally Dworsky ("When you believe" from Prince of Egypt) 🌹

James Arthur’s voice is so good. There seems to be a bit of snobbery on here OP. 🙄 It’s like if you don’t say someone from a hundred years ago it’s some sort of sin. Weird. Anyway I’ve seen him live and he’s amazing. His new album is one of my favourites at the moment.

Chris Stapleton is unbelievably good. I think country music has some great voices. Luke Combs is amazing.

Sia. Can handle the most complex songs with ease.

Breathe Me live… incredible

Lionel Richie
George Michael

Dolly Parton - the most naturally tuneful singer and talented funny song writer imho

Listen to the lyrics of this Travelling Man very funny

Agree with Mama Cass, so effortless
Meatloaf for sheer range & emotion
Matt Monro like melted chocolate running down the spine

Freddie Mercury
Roy Orbison
Grace Slick

Loreena Mckennitt

None of your singers can touch this one.

David Draiman
Renan Zonta

But David Draiman is very good ...

I Love Frank Carter (Gallows, And The Rattlesnakes) and Post Malone's voices.
No idea if this is embarassing or not, I expect it would be in DD7's eyes .

Sandy Denny
Joni Mitchell
Paul Janeway
Jeff Buckley ( Tim close second!)

Can I add Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Aretha Franklin and Sinéad O’Connor?

Elizabeth Fraser. Peerless.

David Draiman does have a great voice.

I’d choose Steve Balsamo though.

James Arthur, no I don’t really get that. But better than the PP who said Sam Smith, he just sounds like a sad foghorn.

Sia. Can handle the most complex songs with ease.

She has a lovely sounding voice but the absolute worst diction.

I love Chris Stapleton but I think Jamey Johnson has a better voice. I also love Alison Kraus and there's something very pure about Townes van Zandt, he just has something in his voice that nobody else does.

Karen Carpenter
Eva Cassidy
Hope Sandoval

And - I wouldn't say "best singing voice" at all, but in terms of sheer raw emotion, Kurt Cobain in Nirvana Unplugged. Sends shivers down the spine, and that counts as much as technical ability.

Nirvana Unplugged is an amazing album, great choice of songs that really suit his voice.
