beautiful MALE singing voices!

Post Reply New Topic

I'd say Mikael Akerfeldt from the band Opeth. Just listen to the song "The Drapery Falls" off of their Blackwater Park cd and you'll see what I'm talking about....


I also really like Chino Moreno and Jonas Renkse. They have really good dynamics and harmonization.

the vocalists of rusty ruins

The Guy from Kamelot whose name escapes me. It's ironic that when he sings "Don't You Cry" I want to cry.

I like songs by Simon and Garfunkel, mostly Cecilia, Mrs Robinson and bridge over troubled water [my fav.] [got all their albums as a compilation box set], though I have only heard solos by Paul Simon. - may'be Bruce Springsteen, Mike and the mechanics
-shame where I am the reception for my mobile broadband isn't great so I can't listen to them so readily on youtube like I used to.
I like reggae and rock music

I sing alright myself, won Karaoke once singing with a girl and I can read music well, especially when singing - wouldn't think I was autistic having as much courage - sang in front of all of secondary school. I also sang with my friends from a youth theatre in their band - they thought I was good.

Unless youve heard Allan Jones, you dont know what a beautifull male voice is!

There is an opera singer named Phillipe Jarousky who has a very beautiful voice, but since he's a soprano i guess his voice is not very male

brook benton - like buttery maple syrup- dark and deep

Deuce from Hollywood Undead has the most BEAUTIFUL voice!! !! One time somebody said he lip sings on stage and I said "Heck NO!! ! He just has that amazing of a voice!! !"

Tony Lovato from Mest has a good singing voice too. Not to mention he's SMOKIN' HOT!! !! !! ! He's also a fellow Italian. :Sigh:

Jyrki from The 69 Eyes has an awesome voice. He's supah cool too.

Okay that's enough boy crazed thoughts from me

What I regard as the greatest live performance ever.

I know he doesn't sound 'beautiful.' whatever that is, but has anyone else ever listed to the French singer, Plastic Bertrand

the songs he sings are Ca Plane Pour Moi and Cest Le Rock and Roll to name a couple- get a great laugh listening to some of his songs - you should search for his music such as on music. I heard Ca Plane Pour Moi for the first time on a video about autism on youtube and then it was in a UK Tv advert in 2010

I think have the best voice I've seen men have. They can carry a tune and hammer a song in with it.

Interesting choices by the OP.
Have heard of about half of them.
Didnt know that the National Geographic guy ever sang.

Lorne Greene's 'Ringo" was spoken, not sung.
But he certain had that "voice of doom" as he was called when he worked for the canadian news radio system during the first half fo the war ( when it was his job to announce all of the allied defeats before the tide of the war started to turn).

Always loved Enzio Pinza on my parents copy of "South Pacific".

Micheal Buble is a good modern specimen in the bel canto traditon.

In the rock/country/soul tradition Roy Orbison has an amazing voice, as does micheal clayton thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears.

The perfect male soul singer in my opinion was Teddy Pendergrass ( smooth and raw at the same time)- but - the list of great soul voices is long: Smokey Robinson, Al Green, Issac Hayes, Barry White,Luther,

My mom said that her two favorite vocalist of the 80's were KD Laing, and Boy George.
Both good choices. Both are gender benders.

Many singers who did not bend their gender as people did bend their gender as singing stylists (ie men influenced by women).

Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire has stated he was influenced by female jazz vocalists like Sara Vaughn.

The brothers Gibb switched from striving to be clones of the beatles to striving to be clones of American Philadelphia style soul singers at the end of the sixties.

Two friends of mine I was entertaining at a party were both enraptured by an album I played which they both independently declared to be "the best beeGees album theyd ever heard".

It was not a Bee Gees album at all, but an album by Earth WInd and Fire!
It was the first time I ever thought of the Aussie brothers Gibb in the same train of thought as Earth WInd and Fire.
Hey if you're gonna be a clone- clone the best! If immitating the best White band of the sixties stops working , why not switch to imitating the best Black band of the Seventies?
The Bee Gees high falsetto harmonies do sound not unlike the Maurice White lead high falsetto vocals for EWF.

The black female band that beyounce got started in, Destiny's Child, did a great renditon of the Bee Gees 'Pure Emotion" decades after the original. So good music goes back and forth between gender lines.

I am almost a bit disappointed that no one here mentioned Tommy Karevik from Seventh Wonder yet.

with further training, mel gibson would have a wonderful singing voice.
