Alison Kraus. She has the voice of an angel.

rosin murphy...

i adore moloko, and she's mostly the reason...

Re: best singer ?
 

hmm...

I definitely have a feeling that I may edit this later, but - the first voices that pop to my head (based SOLELY on live shows that I've been to)

• David Bowie

•.Allison Goldfrapp ...at least when I saw her promoting "Black Cherry" - my mouth dropped when I heard her sing "Deer Stop"

• liz fraser... when I saw Massive Attack in Chicago for "Collected" I never thought that someone could sing soooo softly and lightly and yet... come out completely clear. Like, I kept thinking to myself "how the hell am I even able to discern the sounds coming out of her mouth as words?"

Re: best singer ?

Re: best singer ?
 

clay aiken.

Re: best singer ?
 

Shaun Ryder

Re: best singer ?
 

brett anderson always sounds fantastic live :cool:

Re: best singer ?
 

dude, don't be so touchy. i know ronald lippok, i've seen tarwater live twice and probably got most of his and To Rococo Rots work. he just doesn't strike me as a necessarily good singer, and that's what i thought the thread is about. if you like his voice, that's fine with me. jesus....

Re: best singer ?
 

First to pop into my head: Tom McRae

On further reflection, I think that's probably the right answer, as well. I can't think of any better singers that I've heard live. He has a great range and a lovely soft voice to go with it.

Re: best singer ?
 

Ahhh, seeing Justin Hayward perform with most of the Moody Blues last year was my favorite. The man has got to be a geezer by now, but maaaan can he still sing!

Re: best singer ?
 

Tom Jones > All Creation.

Testify.

Re: best singer ?
 

I don't believe you saw Jesus perform live. Bloody liar!

Re: best singer ?
 

maynard james keenan. no contest.

Re: best singer ?
 

nahhhhhh....

Re: best singer ?
 

Tracyanne Campbell + Alex Kapranos.

Re: best singer ?
 

Off the top of my head, I would say Norah Jones and Tracey Thorn. As far as the guys go I am trying to think about whose voice blows me away just for the voice and I really don't know. :confused:

Re: best singer ?
 

Elton John.

Re: best singer ?
 

Chris Isack(sp), Terence Trent D'arby, Cy Curnin, Seal.

Those are a few off the top of my head.

Everyone of the above sound as clear live as what is recorded.

Re: best singer ?
 

You can't just invent names and write them down in a 'best [insert category]' thread!



PS: I really had to search-engine those names.

Re: best singer ?
 

Can you narrow the field a little there for us? ;)

I am thinking you might mean either Moan Vocal or What Else Is There?

Re: best singer ?
 

Anne Trolle

Re: best singer ?
 

ohhhhh! janaelle monaeae! the girl that sung with outkast on idlewild in a few tracks. she is brilliant! i can't wait for an albumn to come from her!

also, Amanda Blank, she is a shit hot MC if i ever heard one!

These two both need to record more material so the world can experience their brilliance
