He looks so completely different now.

GangstaFam said:

I know he does. Just don't care for any of the newer pix of him thanx.

Stevie Wonder, MJ, and Prince.


But what is this based on anyway? Range? Dynamics? Versatility? Inventiveness?

If so, then those 3 embody those qualities.

Prince
Ann Wilson
Chris Cornell
Sade
Sarah McLachlan
Roberta Flack
Marvin Gaye
Donny Hathaway
Paul McCartney
Stevie Nicks

I am utterly speechless. You need to clean out your ears and listen to someone who can actually sing. WTF!

kisscamille said:

What do you mean? Have your heard Britney Spears? She is much better than these other so called DIVA'S out there now. Why didn't VH1 have her on Diva's but they had Jessica Simpson? She screams and makes funny faces when she sings.

Someone agree with me. I know i am not alone

TheDeacon said:

I'm afraid that either you're shitting us or indeed very much alone.

I guess i must be:





















fooling around.


THIS WAS NOT A DEACON JOKE THREAD, BUT IT WAS A DEACON STEALING SOMEONE ELSE'S THREAD AND HAVING FUN WITH IT.

I can't believe no one added MAXWELL to this list. A beautiful and versatile voice....I was blown away first time I saw him perform LIVE...as beautiful as Prince's voice...these two get my vote.
P R I N C E and M A X W E L L

as for the ladies, too many to list for me, but I love AALIYAH'S voice and most ofthe other ladies listed as well ( r.i.p baby gurl)

She's got to have about the most feminine voice ever. Such a turn on.

and it goes on and on.....

What you talking about?

The Deacon

abierman said:

Ah. THAT explains.

You know you love it. That's why you guys respond.

TheDeacon said:

Hey. I am okay with you as long as you are civil. I just asked what Abierman was talking about, me nosy brat.

Anyone mentioning Brintey on a thread like this MUST be takin' the piss, you know.

I'm not sure how far up you looked but i admitted that the whole Britney thing was a joke. I actually can't stand her and she is in no way as good as Janet or Paula. I do this a lot because these threads can get very nasty and boring sometimes. At least my way is harmless fun and no one gets their feelings hurt.

Can't even begin to answer this Q, too broad...

Minnie Ripperton-inside my love!!!!!First time when i hear this song i was charmed with that beautiful,crystalline voice...and i find finelly my fav female voice...while that happend i was only like male artist(voice)maybe because i'm female and that difference in singing and "giving out" emotions seduce me every time(male artist...voice...musician...PRINCE (4ever i guess))

It depends on if you're posing the question based on emotiveness, technical ability, or other. Here are my favourite vocalists -for varying reasons, I just like the sounds of their voices.

Dolores O'Riordan
Prince
David Bowie
Janis Joplin
Annie Lennox
Joni Mitchell
Billie Holiday
Judy Garland
Bono
Lou Reed
Mick Jagger
Cat Stevens
Willie Nelson
Kurt Cobain
Brian Molko
Elvis Presley
Tracy Chapman
Grace Slick

I'm starting to think my favorite vocalist of all time is James Brown. James Brown is easily one of my favorite artists period, but I'm starting to really appreciate just how earthy and raw and just awesome his voice is/was. Other people I'd nominate

Michael Jackson-From age 11 to 30 he was practically untouchable.

Ray Charles-Raspy, passionate, pure soul. All hail the genius

Sly Stone-Perhaps an unlikely choice but he's recently risen very high on the list of voices I love hearing. Some on this board my object, but so has Larry Graham

Ella-"And with a voice like Ella's ringin' out there's no way the band could lose"

Frank Sinatra-Pure class

Bill Withers-Simple but beautiful, like his songs, and criminally underappreciated

Stevie Wonder-Was the man, is the man, will always be the man

Louis Armstrong-To me, his voice is almost as moving as his trumpet playing, which is one of those inimitable pleasures in all of music.

Aretha Franklin-got to give her some R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Mahalia Jackson-Listen to Black, Brown and Beige sometime and you'll realize why I love Duke Ellington, and why I love this woman's voice

Patti Labelle-Not as powerful as Aretha, but there's just a superb nastiness to her sound that I really dig

Norah Jones-I'm not even going to begin to evaluate her as a musician (positively or negatively) but whether you dig her composing or not, any guy would have to admitt that her voice is sexier than just about any other voice of her generation

Freddie Mercury-All hail the Queen

Little Richard-Ditto

Alright that was way to long, sue me

Norah's not sexy to me. She sounds bored and detached, and that puts me to sleep, but I guess that's just me.
