He didn't have one of those voices where if you heard a tune you weren't familiar with you'd say "That's Ralph Tresvant doing on lead vocal." I tend to think the opposite - his voice was distinctive, but not in a very good way. He always sang like he was sucking on helium. Even in his 20s he sounded like a little boy. NE were fun. I used to  and  to Cool It Now, but his singing?  Not super, and as a performer he wasn't dynamic. | |

So in other words you're saying he was distinctively bad?

Ralph has always been a good studio singer, IMO. The Heartbreak album (thanks to Jam & Lewis) was Ralph at his peak vocally. Ralph shines better in NE than he does solo.
These are some songs that really showcases Ralph's vocals; Mr. Telephone Man Crucial You're not my kind of Girl Superlady Earth Angel Do What I Gotta Do Never Noticed [Edited 8/7/08 11:52am] |

he's shit of course. He was great on Candy Girl, but his vocals on the second ecord were extremely silly (Cool It Down)
PLUS he never wrote a song by hismelf. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431  If I had pictures, surely I'd share them.  But I do not, so you'll have to imagine how distinctively bad a breakdancer I was.[Edited 8/7/08 15:45pm] | |
