May Contain Nuts Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't believe in making top 5/10 lists and such, I find them ridiculously limiting So here's a great voive you most likely won't have heard, Peppi Marchello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhM3diEHyQw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 1. Elvis 2, Nat King Cole 3, Sam Cooke 4. Ray Charles 5, Dean Martin 1, Ella Fitzgerald 2, Billie Holliday 3, Aretha Franklin 4. Maria Callas 5. Lara Fabian That was hard and painful process to pick the top-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Freddie Mercury surely the best male? I've never heard a vocal range like his. It had everything from in yer face rock to the sweetest melodies, to opera. Unique, imposing and gentle all at the same time, still sadly missed. The ladies, now there's a tough choice, I loved Whitney Houston, she had an awesome, powerful and beautiful voice. Beyonce? Not a patch on her I'm afraid. And then there's the pureness of Eva Cassidy, I can't listen to her songs without wanting to cry, just from the emotion her voice portrays. Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Fields of Gold are simple, just her and her guitar, but beautiful regardless. What a shame they both died young.

RLACML Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Do you mean the best technical singer or the best act? Sinatra over Martin is a joke if it's the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Do you mean the best technical singer or the best act? Sinatra over Martin is a joke if it's the former.Sinatra was quite simply the finest popular music singer that ever drew breath , perfect pitch and technically brilliant, and talking of drawing breath, did you know that he mastered the very difficult art of breathing mid note, Martin not in the same league IMHOI can not pick top five there are so many on a par for me, but top 3.1) Sinatra2) Joe Stafford.3)Ella .But Barbara Streisand was close to being third, brilliant, brilliant voice.
