neatd99 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) I'm talking about artist that started in 2000 or after. So vocalists like Steven Tyler don't count because even though he's still singining, he started his career long before 2000.I think we should all post some youtube videos of live performances of some of our favorite contemporary singers. You can post videos from any genre, just try to make sure they are live videos. I believe the best way to gauge a singer's talent is to listen to them live. I think Michael Bublé is talented. He does a lot of jazz covers and reminds me of Frank Sinatra. Here are some vids I found on youtube:Everything (original song) He has a bunch of covers of well known songs, like Moondance, Come Fly With Me, Fever, and even Elvis's/Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I think he has a great voice, but he doesn't have a lot of original songs.I think in general, this decade sucks when it comes to live vocalists. It seems that most of the popular singers (including rock singers) lip sync to pre-recorded vocals. Another good contemporary live singer, in my opinion at least, is Kelly Clarkson. Her songs are probably aimed towards the pre-teen audience, but she definitely has a good voice. Here are some live vids from her VH1 session:Because of YouSince You Been GoneAnd of course, Post your own videos, but make sure they are live!

swlabr Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I really like Corinne Bailey Rae's voice. The dude from the Mars Volta has a pretty sweet voice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 The only really hauntingly beautiful new voice I can think of at this very moment is Elan's, although I'm sure there are more. I'm just experiencing a slightly hungover version of Alzheimer's right now. Click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Axl Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Axl, Baz and Vince are the best singers around now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Axl, Baz and Vince are the best singers around now I would disagree heavily with the last one.As much as I love Vince - his voice has lost it and he can't keep up with the music. Love the man, but he's getting older.Axl's is the best shape it's ever been, and Baz is as awesome as ever - I just can't justify the last.

LCG Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Axl's is the best shape it's ever been? Whaaa? Anyway I think neatd99 was referring to singers who are popular now (i.e. in their prime) rather than those popular 20 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Axl's is the best shape it's ever been? Whaaa? Vocally, yes - I didn't think we were talking about being 20...Now, he has a vocal coach, the "helium" voice is gone, and he's got the rasp - and can scream awesomely. Not that I minded any other time - but his voice is a lot stronger now, and probably in the best condition it's been.Anyway I think neatd99 was referring to singers who are popular now (i.e. in their prime) rather than those popular 20 years ago One might argue that many of these singers are still in their prime...

Not that I minded any other time - but his voice is a lot stronger now, and probably in the best condition it's been.OK, admittedly for his age and through vocal training to get rid of the helium voice his voice is very good - but best shape it's ever been tends to suggests his voice is better than it ever has been, which I would have to disagree with. But yes, for his age it's a very good voice now.

True, true. Although I'd have to disagree there We digress... Edited June 9, 2007 by LCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the guy, but you can't call that strong.I don't ever recall Bruce having a decent voice... OK, admittedly for his age and through vocal training to get rid of the helium voice his voice is very good - but best shape it's ever been tends to suggests his voice is better than it ever has been, which I would have to disagree with. But yes, for his age it's a very good voice now.I suppose - but it's certainly better than the latter half of 1992/1993, and parts of 1991. He's got more control, and this probably hurts him less too. Sounds pretty similar to him back in the day.True, true. Although I'd have to disagree thereFair play man, fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
