Best Voices in Music

[StillAWarrior]

I really like Adele's voice, so she is the first one that comes to mind of current singers.  I also like Sia, and was a little surprised to not see her here.  In my mind, pre-crack Whitney Houston was in a different league.

Freddy Mercury was the first guy that came to mind.

Check out this  isolated voice track.  She was crazy amazing

Freddy is up there, but I gotta put in a vote for Steve Perry in his prime.  It was so sad that he could not sing on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show.

Hard to argue with that.  You might enjoy this (start at about 2:10).

Chris Cornell definitely for me.

As for females I've always thought Carrie Underwood had a really strong voice.

I feel somewhat responsible for Chris's death. About 20 years ago I was at the NFL hall of fame and told my friend to pretend to kiss Ray Nitschke's bust while I took a picture. The next morning we found out he had died. 

For God's sake will someone check on Carrie Underwood!

A few years back we were talking at work about the relationship between lifestyle and mortality, and I said, "Look at Jackie Gleason!  The guy is in his 70's, he's been morbidly obese his entire life, he's a chain smoker, and he drinks like a fish.  Why is he still alive?"

The next morning, I saw on the news that he had passed away overnight.  It was as if God was listening in on my conversation and thought, "You know, she's got a point..."

Interesting that his final song before (allegedly) killing himself was "In My Time of Dying"

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Speaking of In My Time of Dying, Robert Plant  before he blew out his voice around '72, was an amazing vocalist.

[Jay Bee]

For God's sake will someone check on Carrie Underwood!

Just checked. She still looks like a dog.

[buckchuckler]

Seeing himself lumped in here with Rob Thomas, Thom Yorke and Freddy Mecrury was probably the last straw for Cornell. 

[Tugg Speedman]

Cornell finished his show in Detriot and hung himself after.

Is anyone surprised that Detriot does this to people?

You're an a$$hole.  I take it you have never had a friend whose struggle with depression led them to take their own life.
