So with all of the Susan Boyle stuff, which voice(s) most impressed you?

[Barack_America]

I'm on the younger side and if I had to narrow it down to one, I'd say Jeff Buckley.

My God what a talent he had.

My runner up would probably be Gladys Knight.

Yeah, I like sad soul songs. ;)

1. I've always like KD Lang. Hell I'll listen to anyone who can belt it out.

[Mike 03]

2. There are so many I could pick, but I I always think of Maria McKee.

So far as an example of a brilliant talent screwed over by incompetent management and lame marketing, and incredibly bad advice from brain dead agents that destroyed a great band, I will always think of Maria McKee.

3. I'm going to get poo-poo'd for this, but

Male: Mike Patton. Sinatra would be my first choice if not for Mikey.

Female: I love to hear Alanis sing.

[MilesColtrane]

4. Kic

[BeachBaby]

5. I think that the one voice I've heard that simply made my jaw drop....

was Charlotte Church.

This little girl with the voice of an angel. It's not my kind of music, but.....WOW.

6. Can't narrow it down.

But I was a huge Julie Andrews fan once upon a time.

7. Bing Crosby, Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Tracey Chapman, Jewel

These folks could sing the phone book and I would listen.
I am sure I have forgotten some over the years.
Alanis Morisette and the lesbian singer whose name I have totally blanked on. Good grief getting old sucks.

8. My choices that nobody else will agree with, probably:

Favorite Female Voices: Ann Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Grace Slick, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Sarah McLachlan, Mariah Carey (at least when she used to actually SING, as opposed to the hip-hoppy crap she does now,) Stevie Nicks, Tori Amos.

Favorite Male Voices: Freddie Mercury, Luther Vandross, Nick Cave, Meat Loaf, Steve Perry, Seal, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Michael Stipe, Don Henley.

Can't-Stand Female Voices: Courtney Love, Cher, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Yoko Ono, Amy Winehouse, Fiona Apple, Kate Pierson, Tracy Chapman, Macy Gray.

Can't-Stand Male Voices: Fred Schneider, Billy Corgan, Bob Dylan, Liam Gallagher, Ben Folds, Rod Stewart, Sammy Hagar, Kurt Cobain (awesome songwriter, awful singer,) Robert Plant, Geddy Lee, Adam Duritz, Iggy Pop.
