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?

Also like George Michael.

And a huge fan of Phil Collins.

Female singers I like Kerry Ellis and agree with above poster that Mel C is also very under rated.

I loved Amy my heart broke when she died

Ivan Moody of Five finger death punch and Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour. May not be everyone’s cup of tea but there’s no denying the talent and amazing vocals they both have. I would happily have them both sing me to sleep.

George Michael. Beautiful singer.
I also think miley Cyrus has an incredible voice.

Lewis Capaldi

I still get irrationally angry that Luke Concannon from Nizlopi(famous for the jCB song) never ‘made it’, especially since Ed Sheehan got famous covering their songs on YouTube. Such a raw emotional performer.

Zerrin13 · 26/12/2021 22:30

Donny Hathaway has the best male voice i have ever heard
My current favorite female singer is Yebba.
Her vocal ability is incredible.

Skin (from Skunk Anansie), Brian from Placebo and Axl Rose for me...
I don't really like pop singers...
