Tom Jones!!! NO WAY. He's a ONE key, ONE note even! and always in ONE style. THE MOST overrated singer off ALL time. Talk about resting on his laurels.

l

One true voice and girls aloud have such great technique ;)

Noddy Holder.

Are u tone deaf???? I dont like much of his stuff at all but I can appreciate that he has a great voice. We arent talking about whether he does songs u like but whether he can sing or not.

Im gonna get grated but Ive always thought Celine Dion has one of the most powerful voices Ive ever heard. If any of these popstar punks had a voice 50% as good as hers then they might actually get somewhere.

Another one is Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. I dont like most of his/their music per say, but after seeing him sing live on TFI Fridiay (a few years back) and use what looked like a My First Sony stereo for backing music I was gobsmacked. None of this miming bollocks that most people do these days - totally live and sounded as good, if not better than the cd version.

There are very few decent singers coming out these days. Its all bands. The days of classics like Madonna, Jacko etc seem to be disappearing rapidly.

Simon.

I don't know, but certainly, definitely, absolutely not me! :D

David Gray?

Michael Stipe?

Sting

David Gray is fantastic. I like Melanie C's voice. Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, Robbie Williams, Pink oh and the best ever Freddie Mercury!

If Mel C can sing, I'm Osama Bin Laden :p:D:D:D

Agree with Diablo - Melanie C is absolute pants live. Robbie Williams aint much better from the limited live footage Ive seen.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel here aren't we?

Enrique Iglesias
Annie Lennox
Alison Moyet

Robert Smith from The Cure is also a favorite! :D

;) Westlife
;) Boyzone
;) Killie
;) her sister
;) Girls too loud (whatever)
;) One True Voice (run...)
;) Liberty X ( should be)
;) MEEEEEEE!!!!!!

err.... Teletubbies ... if we're scraping the barrel...

Noel Edmonds and Mr Blobby :)

Tough one, 'cos there's great SINGERS and great VOCALISTS.

Great singers I've seen / heard live:

- Annie Lennox
- Dodge McKay (Ghost of an American Airman)
- Robert Plant
- James Dean Bradfield (while playing great guitar too)

Great vocalists:

- John Lydon / Rotten
- Gene Vincent
- Ian Dury
- Liam Gallagher (tw*t but a bloody good voice)
- Kenny Rogers (why sing when you can croak?)

Chris Martin (and he's shagging Gwyneth, which is a bonus)

Gotta agree with RedKop - I saw Enrique at Party in the Park last year and he is very good.

Simon.

Freddie Mercury, Robbie, Liam, Bono, Mariah, not forgetting Elvis.

WIthout a shadow of doubt, David Gray is the best male vocalist around at the moment.

There are a number of good women vocalists about but I'm gonna stick my neck out and be old - the best ever in my opinion is Barbara Streisand ;). Despite having a huge conk and being exceptionally ugly, her voice is wonderful. Don't knock it until you've heard it!!

My fiancee and I have just chosen one of her songs (duet with Bryan Adams) to be for our first dance at our wedding in a few months.

Rick Astley had a stunning voice, and the world at his feet (almost), and he just walked away from it all. Top bloke :D

Pete Waterman never quite got over that one :p:D

Bjork!

Harriet Wheeler from the Sundays has a cracking voice.

Pink!!! I think she's brilliant

Cher
Tina Turner
Bryan Adams
