Are you a Male or Female vocalist person? I just noticed that the majority of my favorite songs, cds, and artists are all female or groups that have female vocalists.
I would say that only about 20% of my ipod songs or my favorite cds are by male vocalists. From Prince to rock, R.E.M., Dave Matthews, George Michael, Marvin Gaye etc. I have a lot of their songs (if you count numbers), but the artist or group in general is low compared to the females. Its about 80% - 20%, female to male Do most men like female vocalists? Do most women like male vocalists? What is your take? ![]() ---------------------------------

Generally speaking, the female voice moves me more. Just my preference. | |

Probably 60 % Male
More of the stuff by bands would be male and more of the solo artists would be female. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

I would say mine is probably more female to male but not by much. I love a good rock album (I would agree with Axchi...female solo and male bands) and really like classic rock, but female pop is more accessible and easier to talk about. I just put some Zeppellin on my Ipod...in general I'm rediscovering a lot of great stuff in my CD collection. | |

I'm pretty much split right down the middle. | |

Probably split down the middle in terms of music I own, but far more of my favourite bands and artists are male.
I do prefer the male singing voice because I find that in general, any woman who can hold a note has the chance of "making it", but for a man to truly excel and have longevity in his career, it's usually because he's got a rather distinctive voice, like it needs to be something special and unique.

So you're a female vocalist? ![]() | |

A quick answer would be..I am a male vocalist person.
To explain..or just rant a bit.. My top 3 favorite singers are men. Michael, George, and Billy Joel. However, while Prince isn't one of my favorite vocalists, he is my number two man on guitar. (Santana is number one in my book, as over-rated as he probably is these days.) But for me..female vocalists are good when they have a certain voice. My favorite female vocalists are..Selena, Kylie, Janet, Avril, Christina, the blond chic from A*Teens and the singer from Atomica. I think for me to like a female vocalist they must offer something unique. As much of a pop princess Christina may be, you can't deny she has a BANGIN' voice. | |

When I was younger, I admired female vocalists much more than males. I was a little too biased back then. I guess it was becasue I could pretend as if I was the female singer more so than the male. Now I just appreciate good vocalists....even though my overall favorite is a female. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

Women, cause too many men front bands. If I see another video with an ugly guy screaming about how angry he is, I'll puke. It's so boring. The female bands or female-fronted bands that are out there don't get the exposure that they deserve. Rock radio has already given up on them by making their playlists 100% male. Sleater-Kinney Garbage Yeah Yeah Yeah's The Distillers The Donnas Scarling The Kills Horrorpops The Bellrays The Start Pretty Girls Make Graves Rasputina Morningwood Sahara Hotnights The Like Tegan And Sara Sing-Sing Gore Gore Girls Epoxies Stiffed Erase Errata Lacuna Coil Lullacry My Ruin Kittie Arch Enemy etc. | |

LADIES FIRST!
Nobody can be as, if not more sensitive than or evoke an emotion better than a WOMAN. The hormones that people have been dogging us about, are the same hormones that put our emotions out-there. Women are more expressive, musically, acting-wise and art-wise. At least IMHO anway ![]() | |

Perhaps, but they are just as deserving to be heard as their crappy male counterparts that get airtime. | |
