'nuff said.
Move over Lady Gaga or Madonna. :bowler:
Edit: There is no particular reason for this thread, other than to share some beauty in the world that many recently here feel to be shitty.
So is this the thread where you pretend to be a sophisticate instead of a twinkybopper-at-heart? :P
Don't care much for opera singing. I prefer voices that sound like voices and not like instruments.

That's not David Bowie, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, or Steve Perry.

Why don't you like her vagina?
Of the classical singers, I like Emma Kirkby and Joan Sutherland a lot.

Very good voice control, but not as good as the artist whose song she is covering. When you are the second-best at a given song, you aren't the best singing artist in the history of recorded music.
You are right that she could get here, though.
Such a title is largely meaningless.
However I do think it's worthwhile to acknowledge singers and/or songwriters who've been innovative in their own genre of music, so I'd say at the time Kate Bush made a significant contribution to pop music and her work has stood the test of time rather well. :bowler:
Maybe I'm a philistine, but I always liked Freddie Mercury. The guy had range.

And the consummate showman to boot. :cool:

Disagree. Enya is good, but she doesn't do as good a job live as Westenra.
Paris Hilton also sounds good in a recording studio.
Mario Lanza, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Edith Piaf, Fyodor Chaliapin, Placido Domingo, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone.... I mean, come on. Callas was good, but she's not even the best soprano of all time (which I would award to Price, Battle, or Sutherland).

She was THE quintessential Turandot.
I like Dawn Upshaw as well. Performs a beautiful Gorecki No. 3.

José Carreras easiloy out-sings Sissel in that piece. It's not even funny. He has the tone, the dynamics and the passion, she just has the voice of a pop singer with hybris.
No question about the answer to this one

I'd post a lot of awesome stuff with Russell Allen, Bruce Dickinson and Roy Khan, but you don't deserve it.

This one (Philippe Jarrousky) is impressive as well:

The google doodle they did for his birthday today is amazing!
Freddie = awesome.
