Freddie Mercury. Love or hate Queen, you must admit he has an amazing and versatile voice.

Well recent picks would go to Hayley Willams from Paramore, and the new lead singer of Journey, Arnel Pineda.

I like the new Journey Singer too, more than the guy everyone else likes actually. I dont like Hayley though, she sounds too generic for my tastes. Check out Laura Marling, she is an incredible singer from the U.K who made her first album when she was only 17. Here is a song of hers.

Nice choice... I don't think I could choose a favourite singer.. So much variation in style. Though I would give Jonsi Birgisson a mention.

Perhaps no one thinks any of the singers listed are that exceptional.. You probably should have included an Other option.

Making annoying sound with your mouth=/=singing. Those girls can't sing. They just screech and make sounds that sound like words.

I will go with Mavie Marcos from Andain, particularly in the song Beautiful Things.

That's funny because I am thinking the same thing about the people you all are listing. They can't sing???? Seriously maybe my ears need readjusting but I don't think anyone you guys have mentioned here sound better then what the list I put up including this one. I guess we have different opinions of what is a good singer is cause I am not seeing it here.

I can't believe you said they cannot sing. They have some of the best voices ever ! Have you not heard "Hero" by Maria Carey?

Whitney Houston - I will always love you

Alicia Keys - Fallin

Christina Aguilera - Aint No other man

Half of those women don't know how to sing. They have the voice and range to do so, but are incapable of understanding how. Case in point: watch them perform the national anthem. Watch them butcher the song by oversinging it, just because they have the range to do so. It sounds awful.

Going with Bijork, but appreciate Keys and Carey's obvious talent. Trent Reznor on the male side.
