I assume the point is whose voices impress me, and not necessarily whose output. If so, off the top of my head...

To me 'favorite' means the one that I like the most out of them all. I've only got one favorite singer: Donna Summer. I 'like' a lot of other singers too, but they aren't my favorite. Too many to list:) [Edited 4/19/15 17:19pm] | |
