Hey Sup Forums. Discussion time.
Who is/was the best male, and female vocalist in recorded music?
Im not judging their band, songwriting, instrumental music, etc. Only vocal talent.
In my opinion:
Male - Freddie Mercury
Female- Mariah Carey

Male - Baz Lurman
Female - og Justin Bieber

how the fuck can you appreciate Mercury, and have an ear for a talentless hack like Carey?

Male - Ronnie James Dio
Female - Anne Heart

Well I hate her music. Her songs are dumb, boring, trash, etc. Thats not what Im judging, however.
Her five octave range is unmatched.

This is a true fucking story mang. Like her shit or not, bitch had a voice.

Ronny fucking James Dio
yas

Dio better than Rob Halford tho?

M- Sting
F- Blondie

Nope. Not by a long shot

Male: Roy Orbison by landslide. He was like the Jimi Hendrix or Paco de Lucia of guitar.
Female: Janis Jopllin, but that's a more close call.

How bout this?
Who gave a better beej: mercury or halford?

Come on, that's weak. If you're going to choose, pick someone with genuine range and talent. Think Aretha Franklin in her prime.

I think Sting had a great voice, but very limited range.
You lost me at Blondie.

Also call me crazy, but in terms of vocal manipulation talent, Id be so bold as to add Jack Black to this list.

Female: Adele, I think. Although Patsy Cline can make me cry for no reason too.

As far as males go I usually listen to the lyrics rather than he voice. But if you are just talking about voicethe I think your pic related is probably the best.

>Female- Mariah Carey
i have to say Ann Wilson circa 75-80
as far as best overall, Mercury no doubt

/thread

Male - vitas

Oh yeah. I forgot about Roy. I know some dumb nigger had the reputation as 'the hardest working man I show business' but I saw a documentary on him and I think that title was not applied to the correct man. That dude worked nonstop.

That's so patrician. I bet anons itt don't even know Janis Joplin, Roy Orbison or Paco de Lucia.
Go to Sup Forums, user. Sup Forums taste is pure garbage for you.

the shaggs have really good voices

Oh yeah Janis Joplin is real underground for a niche market. Nobodys heard of her.

Male: evan pharmakis or the guy from city and colour

Female: the girl from evanessance

Art Garfunkel

Roy Orbison all the way.

Female - Johnette Napolitano youtube.com/watch?v=YawaSx6EiB4

Why has no one said Robert fucking Plant yet?

male - William Shatner
female - Ann Wilson

>Paco de Lucia
Just perfection. Just look at 0:35. Nobody can even touch it.

Cupid draw back your bow!
And let you arrow flow
Straight through your lovers heart
For me nobody but me!!!!

Male: Freddie or Axl Rose (in his prime). Can't decide
Female: Tina Turner. Just listen to that Golden Eye screaming vibrato.

>Male - Freddie Mercury
>Female- Mariah Carey
Obvious bait. Phoebe Snow, Sumi Jo, and even Céline Dion shit all over Mariah Carey.

Male: Roy orbison, of course.
Female: Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin are great choices. Personally, maybe she is not that good, but I love Whitney Houston.

he couldn't do shit live

He's probably not that much of a good vocalist, but Marilyn Manson's voice is pretty damn interesting. Especially with his pretty large vocal range.

Orbison and Mercury are obviously great.

Just want to do a shout out to Phil Collins though.

Will agree with freddie mercury
however stevie nicks tops mariah carey

Male - Frank Sinatra
Female - Maria Callas

>however stevie nicks tops mariah carey
thanks for mentioning nicks

Roy Orbison had such a unique voice. It sounded like 2 people singing.
Female it would have to be Celine Dion

Female - Barbra Streisand

You lost me at Phil, but whatevs.

Personally I'm a Johnny Cash man but keep that close to the vest since he's a frat house favorite.

>Female it would have to be Celine Dion
Céline Dion has a pretty amazing voice, but I think Sumi Jo has the edge. It's hard to compare across genres though.

Male - Geoff Tate of Queensryche (no one has heard of him anyway) or Mike Patton of Faith No More

Male- Andy Biersack (Andy Sixx)
Female- don't care

Yeah maybe Phil's vocals aren't the best and was thinking more about his musical creativity.

Female - Karen Carpenter
Male - Barry Gibb

Seconded

Wrong thread

Yeah, best male vocalist is Roy Orbison. Best female vocalist is another story. There is a bunch of awesome vocalists. Joplin, Carey, Franklin, Callas and more... Too close to call, as you said.

Axl Rose had six. And she's bat shit crazy.

I was lucky to see Andrea Bocelli live when the Pope came to Philly. He sang Our Father, what an amazing voice. There's so many good singers out there it's hard to compare. Pavarotti is another all time great. Jose Jose the Mexican singer has some great hits too.

Male - Bruce Dickinson, brilliant singer and even better frontman
Female - Mariah Carey

If we are talking scream vocals, then objectively pic related.

M: M. Kiske
F: S. Simmons

Rob Tyner.

Kim Deal.

Oh hai

Dudes lows were great but everything else was overrated

motherfuckin janis joplin and ozzy

THE Bruce Dickinson? I only know him as a producer.

And that's Sup Forums in a nutshell. I was surprised people were talking seriously about this topic for so long.

I was serious, I like George Michael.

Shut the fuck up little bitch. If you can't ignore a couple of shitpost then go back to plebbit

Ronnie James Dio
Ella Fitzgerald

Male - Vitas

I'll never forgive him for that 'land of confusion' travesty.

But...the 80s were a weird time so I'll give him some latitude.

>Female- Mariah Carey
I don't need to buy an emetic, only play a track of Mariah, or Sarah Brightman.

Luciano Pavorotti - the fat bastard !
Barbra Streisand - she's like Buttah !


I love Freddie, but his musical range is pretty narrow....

You say Mariah as best voice... knowing how to use that voice is just as important. She has no dramatic, or romantic voice to go with the vocals.

Yea what I like his unplugged shit because its cool for what it was but objectively he's a terrible vocalist

Alt+page up+f
No andy sixx? What?

Ozzy Osbourne
Joan Jett

Julian Casablancas has some nice vocals that I never get tired of so him for me
