:mj07: :mj07: i knew that's what you meant...
although i like bette's voice..she is much better to see in person...
lance here is my money back guarantee...
next time you are in vegas do yourself a favor & take your wife to see her....& if either one of you don't like the show..you mail me the ticket stubs & i will reimburse you for the tickets...that's how confident i am that you will like her show...
ones I think of when I think of loads of talent and not already mentioned...
Jerry Lee Lewis
Roy Orbison
Geoff Tate My personal favorite, and I guess he gets discounted because of his genre? :shrug:
for the women...
Whitney Houston
Nina Simone
Emmylou Harris
Madonna
Rihanna (she's still very young, but she's loaded with talent but underwhelmed on choosing men
).

I am more for heavy music and would have to say I love James Hetfield but it is obvious that he is no where close to being the most talented. I would have to agree about Freddie Mercury.. He sang many variety of songs, from ballads, to slow dance, rock, to punk at times. I could never vote for Elton John because that fairy made a remake of the Who's "Pinball Wizard." He totally fucked that up. Robert Plant was good but definitely the most talented. Michael Jackson would have to be up there. Hasn't that guy sold more albums than anyone else? There is really no right answer, t is just personal opinion. To see some argue about it is comical and that is another reason why I like this site. I can find something on here to make me laugh even when the teams I bet on BLOW.
Some of you guys are just listing your favorite artists, which kind of misses the point. Roy Orbison a talented singer? I can understand you liking his songs or his voice, but come on Clint.
Robert Plant? Bono? :142smilie
Robert Plant? Bono? :142smilie
agree :mj07:
there were a lot of crazy picks but one that sticks out is Rod Stewart? :shrug:

jack....
:mj07: :mj07: don't tell me that you don't like rod stewart ?
like the way he puts a song across...but is he the most talented ? (which is the title of this thread)....my answer is no...
ella...is somebody that i forgot....loved her singing & the way she sung scat...i think she is/was the greatest female singer of the 20th century...she had tremendous range...
mel torme was also a pretty good scat singer..
good get jack...:toast:
yeah..i liked orbison also...don't know if he is/was the most talented singer but thought that he had a great voice...

Grew up listening to Stewart sing Maggie Mae. I think they played that ever other song.
Can't stand the Boss.
