nothing controversial about mentioning Adam Lambert from American Idol, one of the omost technically gifted male vocalists (not including opera) i've ever heard, his vocal runs are in a league of their own


Thank fuck I'm not the only one out there who is gay for him. He's amazing...there...I said it.

I can't believe we've gone this far into a thread about great singers and nobody has mentioned Sandy Denny! Truly one of the great English voices of the last 40 years and a tragic loss.

Jeff Mangum from Neutral Milk Hotel.

Not to everyone's taste but his voice is fantastic.  It's like he never takes a breath.

Liam Gallagher. Amongst some great singers that have been posted he may be looked down on but to me he is unreal. One of my favorite bands are Oasis but they wouldnt even be close to as good as they were without Liam's voice. All great singers need that ability to be instantly recognisable and the dragging out of words gives Liam this. His voice is oasis.

There's plenty of the older, great singers which I could suggest but they will have all been mentioned before. Two younger artists who have really, really good voices are Brian Fallon and Laura Marling.

........ I'm using this one to state that Rebecca Ferguson has a voice to fucking die for.

Absolutely agree.

I can't stand what X Factor represents and I too have to watch it as my wife does, but yes, she's really rather special and if there is any justice in the world and certainly on fantastic singing talent, that girl should win the competition hands down.

To us, occasionally she has quite an Eartha Kitt vibrato and enunciation about her smoky singing voice, quite pronounced I thought on tonights song, though as my Wifey said, most of the people voting will have probably never heard of Eartha Kitt.

But I can think of no higher compliment than I'd buy an album of hers if she gets to make one, which she certainly should irrespective of if she wins.

I'm pretty sure Cowell will want her to, you could see the dollar signs in his eyes after her performance last week.

My wife was asking me who I would compare her to, and I said Billie Holliday. I'd love to hear her sing Strange Fruit. That's a punishing environment, that show (certainly neither Cole nor Minogue would be able) and yet she reminds of Billie fucking Holliday. That's good going.

Tell you who I never get tired of hearing...
