Olly Alexander.

Miley cyrus, she is often underrated, but she has a brilliant singing voice.

CousinGregg · 15/06/2022 07:13

Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)
Luther Van Dross
Mariah Carey

NashvilleQueen · 15/06/2022 07:39

Aretha Franklin
Dolly Parton
Johnny Cash
Sam Cooke
I also love Miley Cyrus's voice and I think it will get better and better as she matures.

HeathenPlayingHouse · 15/06/2022 07:44

Ray Lamontagne or Marc Broussard, without question.

And of course, Freddie Mercury ❤️

ShirleyJackson · 15/06/2022 07:50

Oh, and of course, Sinead O’Connor in her prime. Beautiful, haunting voice.

tobi21 · 15/06/2022 07:55

gotta through Paolo Nutini in there

FlipFlops4Me · 15/06/2022 07:56

Leonard Cohen

LookItsMeAgain · 15/06/2022 07:59

All time favourite singer ever???

It's a close one between Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. I love the old school big band sound. Nat singing "When I fall in Love" is like a warm hug.

babybythesea · 15/06/2022 08:03

I am surprised that one of my favourites is here -Nat King Cole. More people have said him than Sinatra but Sinatra seems to be more ‘everywhere’.
My other favourite is Sarah McLachlan.

HazelBite · 15/06/2022 08:04

Women, Joan Baez Aretha Franklin
Men, Andre Bottcelli, George Michael, Rag n Bone Man (best heard live)
