Thread Name: Ten Top Great Singers Who Can't Sing
Subject: RE: Ten Top Great Singers Who Can't Sing
Women:In a few studios in Hollywood, Stevie Nicks was dubbed 'Four Note Stevie'..not much range there, but she HAD a 'cutish' voice in her youth, that people liked. Now she sounds like an old bag lady..Same with Britney Spears.. except she never sounded good.Terrible voice! Cher..so overrated, sometimes she sounds like an old man with laryngitis. Carol King, I guess she wrote better songs than sang them, very little emotion, too generic.(I've played her piano)
Men: Eddie Vedder, (Pearl Jam). Tommy James..can't tell if its his voice, or just the stupid songs he sings! Elton John, sounds like he's singing with a mouthful of mashed potatoes. Frankie Valli, enough with the falsetto! James Taylor, so pansy-ass, he was unbelievable. Stevie Wonder, Better when he was younger, Heard him recently? Bruce Springsteen, shouting and grunting in short phrases, sounds like he's shitting a giant brick. Jim Morrison(who I knew), wasn't really known for his singing ability, but his timbre and expression got him through.. and well too!
Great singers: Lisa Kelly, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban,(if he doesn't over due his vibrato. Marlena Fontanay, most expressive, and totally believable! Linda Ronstadt, heard her live from about six feet away, she could fill a room with her voice. Giorgio Tozzi, world renown for his 'Faust'(they used to set his mic 22 feet away!!)
Sorry to those I may have left out...in either category!
