    Default Favorite Singers?

    Who are your favorite singers to listen to?

    Myself I've liked Madonna since being a kid. I recently watched this great live concert of hers from back in the day -

    I also like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, etc.

    What are yours?

    Old school: Pavarotti, F Mercury, Brad Delp, early Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Elton John

    Lately, mostly women, Stefani Germanotta, Adele (Like most men, can’t stand her lyrics but undeniably a fabulous voice), Rihanna, Beyoncé.... Deya (sp?) trying to think of male singer I really admire, not just one hit guys. Rappers don’t sing per se, so.... and I’ll be honest Adam Levine sounds whiny to me

    Lana Del Rey will be my top favorite forever. I have her mainstream releases, plus over hundreds of unreleased and demo tracks of hers.

    I just got into HK/Cantonese singer Stephy Tang and have this song on replay.

    Other favorites: Beki Bondage, Cherie Currie, Joan Jett, Skye Sweetnam, Emilie Autumn, Selena, Melanie Martinez, Regina Spektor, Nana Kitade, Eiza Gonzalez, Phyllis Dillon, Jake Bugg.

    Frank Sinatra..there WAS a YouTube vid of him taping/singing "It was a Very Good Year" in front of alive studio audience with an orchestra.
    He did it flawlessly, in one take.
    It's taken down now I think.
    There's others, (Tony Bennett)
    Whitney Houston, Minnie Riperton

    Missy Elliot can do anything. I have to say Eminem I can’t call that great singing - I respect his work but his singing needs a little work! It sounds studio enhanced as well.

    maynard james keenan ( tool, a perfect circle ) OMG i'd go hetero for his voice alone , also Peter Steele ( type o negative ) Shirley Manson ( garbage ) Greg Graffin ( bad religion ) Jim Morrison ( the Doors)

    then there is Julie Fowlis.. she sings in mostly Gàidhlig ( scots gaelic - my native tongue ) but most may know her for her songs in Disney's Brave , then there is also Ayumi Hamasaki, Yuko Suzuhana of wagakki band ( omg im so in love with her ) Aimi Haraguni of stereopony etc....

    i can go on forever, im VERY eclectic when it comes to music and mood
