[wonko the sane]

I've always considered Skin from Skunk Anansie to have a voice like treacle. It's all about personal tastes though.

Anything by Mariza, but again it's down to tastes - I rather like Portuguese Fado, but I could see how it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes.

I saw Pink Floyd on their Division Bell tour (awesome gig, by the way). Behind me was a family group and a couple of them insisted on singing along to everything. Mostly it irritated the f*** out of me, but I had to laugh when they even tried "The great gig in the sky". It seems it's not as easy to sing as you'd expect :roll:

[quote='Timothy']Ah, but have you heard Anne-Sophie sing? :lol:[/quote]

:oops:

I meant, of course, Anne Sofie Von Otter.

[Morley]

Nerer seen an otter singer than her

Ok, how about some jodella-style music (I won't be offended if you don't like it :) ):

Great band on the first one and a good arrangement but totally out of the vocal range of both performers dipping in and out of octaves when it got too much. That is a song with a massive range. One of the few Lloyd Webber songs I like.

Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek on "Sabra Girl" from their 2nd album.

Cheesy but Sinead O'Connor singing that Prince song, "Nothing compares" is a fine performance.

[jodella]

This vocal performance has to beat all of the above

Sarah Brightman's Vide Cor Meum might be a tad better though...

...or the other version

[Sharpie]

That hamster has got it sorted!

So said Richard Gere

I was going to suggest some Nightwish. Have you seen them with their new singer yet, jodella?

I might also suggest some Iron Maiden. Perhaps 2 Minutes to Midnight.

Do you really think Bruce Dickinson could be described as giving an ultimate vocal performance apart from "This is the captian speaking....."?

[Merlin83b]

"... brace, brace, brace." might be ultimate, I suppose.

Yes, I do think Bruce has an incredible voice.

He gave quite a good speech at the Marks & Spencers Business Aviators' do, actually

Nah, Katherine Jenkins for me. I like a nice, shapely Mezzo-Soprano (I married one).
