Top 100 Favourite Male Vocalists Final plus # 1

Come on, is that really all of your input in a discussion about the best male vocalist. Because he sounds like a girl ?

The guy just showed like a 5-6 octave range, smooth transition between all the ranges, he sings like a bass, tenor, and soprano with no jitter or lacking of clarity. He flips between head voice, chest voice and mix with no problem, like 100 times in 3 min. He is showing perfect pitch, incredible control, and sings in 3 or 4 genres in the same song, and still making it sound like it fit together.

I understand his styles of singing might not suit everyone, but the discusion is about the best male vocalist and not singer, i dare you to link me a better vocal performance.

It's FAVOURITE male vocalist, not "BEST".

It's in the thread title.

If he's your favourite, fine.

But maybe don't tell others what the discussion is about when you don't know yourself.

It's quite simple really, you hear these songs and the singer, and you think "I really love his/her voice" and when asked to vote for your top 10 singers you choose that person.
I think JL deserves to be in the top 10. Her had a wonderful voice and could sing very gentle ballads like Love, Julia, Jealous Guy etc, with a lot of emotion, and could really belt it out when required.

I mean I love Sinatra but I couldn't imagine him singing Twist & Shout.

Fair enough. I think we've already established that your breadth of musical likes is maybe narrower than mine, or rather skews older than mine, but "anyone" was too strong. Incidentally, I cannot stand Twist And Shout (though I am not a big fan of a lot of what they did before Revolver and Rubber Soul).

But none of their voices ever mattered that much to me (and I thought George was a lousy singer though I like his tunes best; best not to speak of Ringo). It was the tunes that were delightful.

I do however see how one might hear Lennon's solo work was more a showcase, and I do like his voice better in the context of that stuff than with the Beatles (like Mind Games or Imagine), which I should have thought of.

If I had to pick one Beatles vocal performance that's my favourite, I guess I'd go with McCartney and Blackbird.

I just think John could change his voice to suit the song.
They never released this song but I love the way he sings it, that raunchy gruffness that Rock and Roll demands. (Paul could do it as well, Helter Skelter) must've sounded very intense at the little sweaty Cavern.
