Rest in Peace, Amy Winehouse, it's been 13 years this month since we lost her. She would be 40 if she were still alive, and could have accomplished even more successes.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Amy Winehouse's entire body of music barely encompasses 2.5 hours. Hardly enough for a concert, not that she could get through one. She's not even a footnote in music. She traded her career for the needle and the bottle. Ironic her biggest hit was Rehab considering it was her addiction that killed her. Unsurprising though.
Talents, all of them... but with the possible exception of Stevie Wonder, not necessarily distinctive. Whitney and The Chairman in particular were standout talents -- but their actual voices weren't exceptionally distinctive. They just made the best of their fairly normal voices. As for John... both of his kids (Julian, Sean) sound an awful lot like him.
Really? Freddie Mercury #17? Mercury had one of the most distinctive voices in all music. You knew when it was Freddie singing. Watch the tribute concert and see how many other stars could do his songs. Robert plant's performance was sad. Sure these vocalists are good in there own right, but Mercury should be in the top 5 unique voices.
There's a few male opera singers that can out do Tiny Tim. They can sing in a pitch that normally is done by females. I forgot their name but they could be considered the modern castrato.
Meat Loaf, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Tyler, Morrissey and Chris de Burgh are more deserving of places on this list than some of the people listed here
If your looking for the most unique voices, or voices that you recognize immediately then hear we go - - Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Minnie Ripperton, Ann Wilson, Karen Carpenter, Adele, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Seal, Jenifer Warens, Whitney Houston, Chris Issac, Meria Carry, Steve Perry, or Tracy Chapman.
Shout Outs to Geddy Lee, James Hetfield, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Jeff Buckley, Billy Corgan, Chino Moreno, Maynard James Keenan, Jonathan Davis, Lzzy Hale, Amy Lee, and Chester Bennington. Regardless of popular opinion, there is no denying the impact these musicians have on music today if not for a lot of them, there wouldn't be half the standout artists we know now.
Obviously my opinion here but strictly on uniqueness... Honorable Mentions: Amy Lee - Evanescence Miles Kennedy - Alter Bridge/Slash Reba McEntire Layne Staley - Alice In Chains Dolores O'Riordan - The Cranberries Bruce Dickerson - Iron Maiden Geoff Tate - Queensryche
Brendon Urie comes pretty darn close. I've even watched videos where both of thier vocal ranges were compared and Brendon (on record) can hit more notes than Freddie. I'm not discrediting Freddie at though as Queen is one of my favorite bands.
It's criminal to make a video such as this, and leave Mike Patton completely out of it, considering he possesses an astounding and impressive range of SIX full octaves. Let that sink in...
*Top 20 Unique Voices in BIG Music* There's plenty of artists that deserve to be on this list but the most mainstream artists have too much favoritism among an outdated generation that run massive companies like Watchmojo.
Good list, and it'd be impossible to name all the distinct voices, but I'd like to shoe horn in Tom Petty and Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy (not as many hits in the US as elsewhere, but you always knew who you were listening to).
This list is literally ass. Freddie Mercury should be number one, Michael Jackson should be Number Two, and Elvis should be number 3. Where's Prince, Chester Bennington, and where's Ronnie Radke.
I agree with you about Prince, I was hoping he would have been in the top five but nope he didn’t make the list 😒. That man can go high and low with his vocal range and he had one heck of a scream. I don’t understand how it wasn’t mentioned on the list, I’m disappointed deeply.
Some singers I would at to this list are: Macy Gray Leonard Cohen Rufus Wainwright Lalah Hathaway Trent Reznor Anita Baker Toni Braxton Eartha Kitt Al Jarreau Bobby McFerrin Cassandra Wilson Grace Jones
Joe Cocker, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Maynard Keenan (Tool), Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Geddy Lee (Rush), Roland Gift (Fine Young Cannibals), Darius Rucker (Hootie & the Blowfish), Brad Roberts (Crash Test Dummies), Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) looks like you might have to make a "More Top 20 Male Voices in Music soon :)
Louis Armstrong's first name was not pronounced "Louie." He made that clear in his 1964 rendition of "Hello, Dolly!" He sang, "Hello, Dolly, this is Louisss, Dolly ... "
They had him on the list, but before they hit "post," they worked a volunteer shift at the Poughkeepsie soup kitchen and ran into Joe. He talked them out of it.
There are 2 voices that "do it" for me,even though their genre is not my thing. Firstly is Doris Day, there is just something about her voice that sends tingles down my spine. A good example is the song "Secret Love". Secondly, Mario Lanza. Although he did mostly opera, which I'm not a fan of, his rendition of "Be my love" is just inspiring, as well as several songs from the movie "Student Prince" in which he did a voice-over for one of the stars of the film.
Andy Gibb was the baby brother of the Bee Gees. He had a solo career. He had an incredible voice just like his big brother Barry he died in the 80s he was my first celebrity crush. I was absolutely do you have a stated when he died.
I think Jimin will definitely one day be on a list like this. I've never heard a voice like his. It's so light and delicate yet powerful and incredibly beautiful. He is so special.
I like about half of your picks in this RU-vid video including: Janis Joplin, Freddie McMurray of Queen, Johnny Cash, Cher, Louis Armstrong, Barry Gibb, Barry White, and MJ(Michael Jackson). I would have picked Patsy Cline, just to name one; there are others, but I can't think of their names right now..
