3Gunther

BEST!

4Freddie Mercury

I love Freddie Mercury. Love him for any reason. He's just simply the best. Best voice: Most powerful, beautiful... He also writes the best songs out there, and they have the most meaning to them.
FREDDIE MERCURY!

mj is a great fantastic performer but mercury is vocaly so much more

I would agree with MJ and Elvis being above Freddie but who the heck is Günther? He couldn't even stand a chance against greats like MJ, Elvis, Sinatra and Mercury!

5Elvis Presley

Nobody but nobody can sing any kind of song at any range better than elvis. He can be a barritone as sinatra soprano as tom jones and tenor as lanza in one song...

what the heck is this? Of course Elvis is the best he is the King for Petes sake

There is not one other performer who had the looks, charisma, voice and the ability to sing all kinds of music as if each one was his genre. At his best you simply can't take your eyes off him.

6Frank Sinatra

Well, Frank Sinatra is a lot better than Elvis Presley and his overrated talents.

comment to Bing Crosby: a voice like Sinatra is a once in a lifetime
Crosby : yes, but why did it have to be in my lifetime?

21Tom Jones
22Roy Orbison

Elvis Presley used to say that Roy Orbison was the best singer that he had ever heard. The man had an incredible vocal range, and sang falsetto like a bird. Charisma, he had not, but damn he could sing.

23Kurt Cobain

people always say they don't understand him. he focused more on melodys than lyrics and still his songs have great lyrical meanings
