Macca is a good singer live, now at his mid 60's he's in good shape.

Rober Plant, since 1968 to 1972 he's the man, amazin range, high notes, passion, unique.

Freddie, was a great singer, durin all his queen years, he knew how adapt a song dependin of his shape, a genius

i've to say tha Ozzy in his early years until 1975 sabotage tour, he was amazin, he sang all the songs like they were recorded it
Loser in the end!!!
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]<b><font color="blue">[/QUOTENAME]Also Freddie was a showman like Robert Plant, but Freddie was better in that.[/QUOTE]

Plant was a completely different kind of showman. At every concert, he said different things between songs, and was the absolute KING of creating any kind of vibe he wanted to.

If you're such a musical genius as you say you are, then why don't you explain yourself, instead of insulting people for having an opinion different than yours.

If you honestly believe that, then either a) you haven't listened to too many singers, and b) you haven't listened to them open-mindedly.

[QUOTE]Those other singers all sing with no power AT ALL
and offcourse they will all hit higher notes.Thats no pressure on their voices.[/QUOTE]

Higher notes = no pressure? Haha, you know nothing about the way the human vocal cords work if you are convinced of that. Ian Gillan, David Lee Roth, and Robert Plant sing with no power? And Bon Scott didn't either? Haha, yeah right.

[QUOTE]TO me they ALL suckk cause their music nor their voice have energy. Energy is everything and freddie had all the energy you could get.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I agree. Freddie Mercury is the only vocalist in the history of music that sang with energy. In addition, energy is the only thing required to make a good singer. No other bands had energy besides Queen. Forget about Immigrant Song, Start Me Up, Highway Star, You Don't Get Fooled Again, Whole Lotta Rosie, Panama, Walk This Way, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Stockholm Syndrome, and Roundabout. You're absolutely right. No other band has energetic songs.

[QUOTE]Get your facts straight before talking again.[/QUOTE]

Okay, I'll get right on that!

Give me a break.

I have never in my life seen more musically closed-minded people than I have here at Queenzone. Yes, Freddie was amazing in many ways, but he had his flaws, like anyone else. And there were plenty of other singers who were as good as Freddie in many ways, or even better. His voice in concert was AVERAGE a lot of the time. ACCEPT IT. He sang We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody like the record version once or twice out of 400-500 times. He just couldn't do it live.

If distaste for Jon Anderson is more important to you than tolerance and humility, then you really have some deep personal issues you need to deal with.

I was lucky and saw/heard Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant at their best. And yes, they were the best. I also liked Steve Perry's voice a lot, but he turned out to be an asshole. I regret not ever hearing Steve Tyler live.

From my perspective, Bono was considerably better than Mick Jagger, but not at all close to the level of the names in my first paragraph. I like the raspiness of Brian Adams, who sometimes sounds a bit like Rod Stewart.

Among the shmaltzy singers, such as Art Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Paul Young, etc., there are some very good vocalists and entertainers. But I can't imagine any of them trying to sing the music of Queen or Led Zeppelin.

Frank Sinatra was incredibly smooth, Andrea Bocelli is powerful in the operatic sense, and Elvis was great in his time. But those three distinct styles of music don't facilitate comparisons to Freddie/Queen and Plant/Zep.

If you were to ask me which vocalist I would like to see perform live, it would definitely be Freddie, because I know that in addition to hearing a great voice, I would see a great performance and hear superb music.
Freddie was a Great singer but not the only one.
I think Steve Perry has a Great voice, and I agree I seen led zepplin in concert in the late 60's and he was great Elvis was a great singer with different venues of music, such as rock, country and gospelI enjoy Steve Tylers voice,
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Joey Strummer. He puts Freddie Mercury to shame.

freddie sang incredibly beautiful in the studio.but when singing live it is very normal to lower the notes to protect the voices.that is why some queen fans find freddie insufficient when singing live.you get used to the studio recording which is unbelievably beautiful and then you hear live and get disappointed.i like freddie singing live as much as he sings live.he forces his chest voice and hits very right notes.and dont forget the vocal games he did with the audience.anybody tried it,i dont know

I agree. There is a belief that every vocalist must reach the highest notes and if he can't he is no good. Freddie was a baritone.(not a tenor, as many thinks). He was not supposed to hit thoues high notes naturally. In the studio Freddie forced himself to expand his range and become a tenor. That's make a big difference. So I guess it was sometimes even painful to him to sing some of his parts in the studio. That's all happened because he never had any vocal training. And of course it was impossible to sing that way live each day on tour without ruining voice and health. His vocal methods were quite wrong. And I believe that if he had a course of a vocal training he could've become a decent baritone singer (who is never trying to hit high notes). But he would've never become Freddie Mercury ;).
So was not a weak live singer at all. Sometimes he just tried to sing not in his natural register, which caused some problems.
He was an untrained singer who wrote really challenging songs.

See the WWRY show at the Dominion - those trained singers really can hold the notes wherever they are on the scale.
