Bohemian Rhapsody Spin Off Thread - Incredible Voices
 

I always loved Queen growing up and their Greatest Hits CD (you know the one) was a staple for me. I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and saw someone mention the depravity of Freddie in the Bohemian Rhapsody thread. That piqued my curiosity and I had to find out more.

So I finally decided to go on a Freddie Mercury tear. Among other things, I ended up watching a video on Youtube by Polyphonic, attempting to explain the things that made his voice so legendary.

That got me thinking about which voice would be the GOAT for me. I kept thinking about the times my mind was blown or voices that made me want to cry or gave me goosebumps. I remembered being dumbfounded the first time I heard the crazy Mongolian Khoomei stuff. You know, shit like that.

I still don't know my personal "greatest voice of all time," but GODDAMN, does this Lizzie Higgins lady singing this song come close:

If you feel like it, share your GOATs. What voice/song stirs that something "ancient" up in you and makes you all kinds of weird emotional? :)

I always enjoyed the complexity of Steve Perry’s voice and knew I was hearing greatness with Roy Orbison. Freddie made it seem so easy. Andrea bocelli, bill medley, Mariah Carey, Eddie vedder, Marvin Gaye, Chris Cornell, Amy lee, Luther vandross, Steve winwood, al green.

Otis Redding - The recording style is almost a co-star

yes!

I used to karaoke Journey once I'd imbibed adequate sauce at the Red Balloon(who knows the red balloon??!). Steve is Killer. Both Steves in that band

great phrase

Maynard a bit

I like the Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell choices too

Enunciation is a trip. His is great. The way they resolve words with the last syllable going to a higher or lower pitch... or making words multi-syllabic that aren't lol. Nuance.

That Dimash Kudaibergen is good. Borat is definitely proud

Pomoy is amazing, I'd heard that very performance before.

Rob Halford is good

Where are you now? The fears are coming back to me once again.

All great voices here:

Freddie will always be #1 for me but I also love me some Burton Cummings,there's just something in that voice that moves me.Here's a few examples solo and The Guess Who.

Speaking of Freddie,here's a fav from a solo project by him.I would think this would stir something in everyone.

I was gonna' say Rob Halford but you already did. I've never seen anyone wail like he did in a live concert back in the day.

I also have to say that seeing the Bohemian Rhapsody movie changed my mind on Rami Malek as an actor. Good movie, GREAT acting.

Tops on my list has got to be Bob Marley! His voice always brings me to chills and goosebumps.

A few others I’d have to add to the list also

Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes dude can sing his ass off!

Myles Kennedy has a killer rock voice and he has many levels to it!

Another great vocal performance, that often get overlooked in the general amazeballs genius surrounding him, is Sir Paul on Don't Let Me Down.

<iframe width="631" height="355" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kt9Ik7K0HoA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Such emotion and passion. Rumor is he destroyed his cords on this take.

To appreciate it, compare it to covers, or even studio sessions where they try it as ensemble harmony.

Live tracks are where it's at for me - really gives you a good idea of true vocal talent...

Chris Stapleton has long been a favorite of mine, from back when he was fronting the Steeldrivers. Tons of great tracks, but this one is amazing:

Totally different genre, but Pavaratti's high B (2:36) in Nessun Dorma is chill-inducing:

Brandi Carlile has an amazing voice:

One that many may not agree with, Sammy Hagar.

Oh I don't like wat I been told. I'm feelin'.

Not words, but the vocal parts at the end of this track are unreal. Try to sing 'em. Legit, it's fun.

They sing in unison till 8:50, when they then do complimentary different parts.
That would be tough. Always thought harmonizing vocally would be difficult. lol

Ho! Hiya hiya hiya hiya...Ohhh ohhh ohhh... Ha ha heeeeeeeeeeeee

Granted, always loved Cantrell and Staley’s harmonizing, but Layne could absolutely rip.

Particularly 3:20 Onwards

OMG. I'm not a huge fan of that genre, but that Storytime song is just so epic. Unbelievable.

I absolutely cannot stand Sammy Hagar, Montrose, his solo stuff, or his stuff with Van Halen. Don't ask me why but he's like one of my least favorite rock and rollers on earth.

Speaking of spinoff.... I thought this was pretty ****ing cool. Heard on 96.5/98.9(can't remember which) today, decided to look it up. Green Day was playing in London, and left a camera going on the crowd while they took a break. But the crowd didn't need a break, and busted out their own badass rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody...

Her head-banging between verses is nice.

I learned a year back or so, that Mike Patton of Faith No More apparently has the broadest vocal range.

Never would've thunk it.

Don't think this song is a showcase of that, but it's just rockin'

<iframe width="940" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6CBjJhDDunQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

:thumb:

Unlike Patton, who prolly gets a good percentage of his range from his low-end ability, Halford almost struggles to sing low in this track, only to rip it with total freedom when he hits his higher registers.


<iframe width="940" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GjMizl3qQGE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That was ****ing awesome and to think record executives said it would never be a hit.

Halford just needed his voice to mature. Unfortunately, he became so well known for the high stuff that he abandoned his versatility at times.

Mercury and David Lee Roth are probably the ultimate showmen/frontmen in rock. They both had an unbelievable presence and could command an audience. DLR isn't that great of a singer though, while Mercury is the complete package.

In terms of versatility and having a great voice, Robin Zander of Cheap Trick is my favorite rock singer. The guy can do it all.

Alice Cooper. Has a way of singing that works so well with the words he writes...I honestly don't think anyone does it like him. This is just an example, I have a ton of his songs that hit me in the feels. Is he Freddy? Um, no. He's the Coop:

Also, dude spanned many different genres:

FNM was too far ahead of their time. When their 'hits' came out, they were too weird for the consuming public. And by the time everyone on earth was copying them, the public had forgotten it had already been done.

Yep.

Great call,here's one of his that does it for me.

As far as vocal performance, KC tattoo mentioned Ian Gillan, and I don't see anything beating Deep Purple 'Child in Time'. I did get to see them in their prime July 1972 in Savannah, Georgia. They did that song.

What I'll never forget was I spent all of '71 in Korea up on the DMZ at a little airfield called Stanton AAF. We pretty much operated the way Mash is portrayed, we did what we wanted to do. A little camp with a runway and about 75 helicopters and about 200 troops. A 3 story masonry barracks sat in the middle of the camp and one day I was walking around and from a window on the third floor I could hear Child in Time as if the band was playing live. I entered the stairs and walked up to the third floor and of course, the higher I got the louder it got. When I got to the third floor I walked through the bay area and about 20 KATUSA'S (Koreans assigned to the US Army) were sitting on their bunks holding their ears. I entered the Sgts 10 x 10 masonry room and here was three guys just standing there stoned listening to Child in Time being played on volume 10 through 6 Sansui SP 3000 speakers that look like this.

Two of my other favorite singers I see mentioned. Steve Perry and Journey I got to see in 1980 on the Departure tour, they still had Greg Rolie and Ansley Dunbar in the band. It was at Gulfport Colosseum in Biloxi, MS with The Babys opening. Fantastic show, I guess that's how Jonathan Cain got hooked up with Journey, he had been with The Babys.

Just before leaving for Korea in November '71, I got to see the Guess Who with vocalist Burt Cummings at Loyola College in Baltimore. Fantastic show, this is when Burt still had the long hair but Randy Bachman had already left and was replaced by Kurt Winter. What's odd is on the album Wheatfield Soul they do a really good pschedelic Doors type song called Friends of Mine. They mention a person named Kurt in the song, but they did not know Kurt Winter at that time.

For the poster that likes Otis Redding, check out 3 Dog Night and the late Cory Wells from their first album doing 'Try a Little Tenderness', you would think he was black.

Sam Smith's voice is incredible:

Also, Adele:

Ya damned skippy!!

It was written for somebody with a much more poppier voice. She isn't even supposed to be singing the part from 3:38 to 4:14 but she did because she can.

...Sir Paul as backup, you mean? That one is John singing lead.

Sandy Denny - an all time great singer. Best known for accompanying Plant on The Battle of Evermore, but she was prolific.

for the Deep Purple fans. Blackmore is in this video. Bit cynical of me to use as buttress for my King's X love. Oh well

Huh, guess so. I definitely heard a story on the radio that Paul sang lead and ragged out his voice, . . way back when the first reissues came out, on NPR if I recall. Never occurred to me to fact check.

Learn something new every day.

A good portion of it sounded like Lennon anyway

Go on, move to it if you have to.

The lyrical stylings of Yoko, "You're a dildo, I'm a whore. I'm a Barbie Doll, you're at war."

It's all of them, the part that might shred vocal cords anyway lol

"It's a love that has no past" is a genius lyric.

This one from Rhiannon Giddens gets inside my veins every time I hear it:

Really who can beat W. AXL ROSE?

Im surprised to see no mention of my top #1 voice of all time.

Maynard James Keenan. This guy is the GOAT. Incredible range. Visionary lyricist. Powerful and varied structure. The.Absolute.GOAT.

Watched an Alice Cooper documentary a couple years back, and this song was in it and played during a portion of a Cooper concert wherein Alice kissed a girl in the front row. Was haunting

Elton wrote it about a lesbian that died in the streets, though i guess, not Alice Cooper.

6 degrees of separation or something

I posted that Eddy Grant vid in reply to yours because of the backup singers lol errr dancers.. none were singing in either vid iirc

it's how my mind works

its a good one but short.
