Your favourite singer of all time

[emmie847]

Mines is Lana del Rey I just love the sound of her voice

Halle Bailey's voice is so beautiful to me.

Eva Cassidy

Karen Dalton

Stevie Wonder

So so many but for me its Donny Hathaway. He voice is just amazing.

Taking everything into account, I’d say Billy Joel. His back catalogue is amazing, really eclectic and he’s amazing live.

Basing it solely on the vocals, Roy Orbison has a beautiful voice.

George Michael, Michael Jackson, Brandon Flowers, Darren Hayes

Minnie Riperton

Whitney Houston

Ah well in that case, Julie Fowlis.

I've seen Adele live and her voice is truly gorgeous

Cat Stevens. His voice only gets better with age too.

George Michael

Chris Isaac, gorgeous too!

Linda Ronstadt. Her version of the Eagles' Desperado is just sublime. Made all the more poignant because she can no longer sing.

Ann Wilson from Heart is my favourite as they're my favourite band too. But I absolutely love Susanna Hoff's voice, like velvet!

Love Michael Hutchence too

Steve Perry (Journey). Been a huge fan since the early 80s. Although the sudden interest in Don't Stop Believing a few years back really put me off that song. (You can have too much of a good thing.) Also: Kate Bush. She is my all time favourite artist.

DisforDarkChocolate I like Jacquie Abbot's voice and it's very similar to mine (only better!). I don't think it has much range though and sadly she has no stage presence imo

I have many many favourite artists but if we’re talking about singing ability here…

Adam Lambert, the range, the depth, the control, UNREAL! He covered Believe at the Kennedy Centre Honour with Cher in the audience and you can just see her wiping away tears in the audience. Then there is the IoW Festival performance of Who Wants to Live Forever, just on another level.

Chris Stapleton is also an incredible vocalist within his genre and when I heard Carrie Underwood I Will Always Love You with no backing I was convinced of her power also!

Nina Simone
Joan Armatrading
Dolly Parton
Brandi Carlile
Barbara
Prince

Ann Wilson

Mine is also Lana del Rey. Didn't expect to see that in the op.

Amy Lee and Joe Elliot too...

I like the harmonies of The Everly Brothers.

George Michael
Matt Monro
Marvin Gaye
Will Young

Karen Carpenter
Cara Dillon
Doris Day
Sade

Whitney. Though Stevie Nicks does come a close second.
