Well we got new tournament going. If you enjoyed participating in the others ones before, I hope you feel the same first this one. So lets begin.

This is specifically only for Rock and Pop singers. Although a great singer he is, guys like Luciano Pavarotti doesn't qualify to be in this tournament, unfortunately.

I used this as reference. And removed and replaced some singers on the list.

There will be 5 elimination rounds which totals 100 musicians. For each elimination round the highest 4 voted go to the Semi Finals.

My choices are:

Michael Jackson
Freddie Mercury
Cyndi Lauper
Ann Wilson
Aretha Franklin

PM me or let me know on here if you don't want to be tagged.

Please vote, thank you.

Voted, Jackson, Mercury, Billie, Franklin and Iggy. I don't think Iggy is as classically as good a singer as those others but he has a strong and distinctive voice.
 
Honestly I only know like half of those, maybe heard songs from the rest but just don't know the name.

I only picked Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson.

Voted for 3.

Good idea btw. I hope CD Lang, the Pretender's chick, and Tom Waits are in one of the polls.
 
Jackson
Franklin
Staley
Ann Wilson
Mercury

Not my favorites of the group but in think these 5 are a good mix of singing chops + style
 
Jackson and Mercury are the only ones I know lol would prob recognize others if I heard their voice but I do like MJ and Freddy

@Rvd Slmr @weaselkenievil @Skarr @jericksen5 @houjebek @Fork
My choices were:

Michael Jackson
Freddie Mercury
Jim Morrison
Aretha Franklin
Layne Staley

Honorable mentions to:

Steven Tyler
Ann Wilson
Paul Simon

I like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop and a lot of what they stood/stand for, but to be honest, neither one of them can sing. I thought about doing a thread about singers who can't sing (even if you personally like them and their music) and they were among the people I was thinking of.

I could pontificate about some of the other singers in this poll one way or the other, but don't really feel like doing so right now.

Would have to rate Freddie as the best rock singer, Michael as the best pop singer and Layne as the best grunge singer. Tyler's longevity as a singer is really impressive as well.
 
Voted, Jackson, Mercury, Billie, Franklin and Iggy. I don't think Iggy is as classically as good a singer as those others but he has a strong and distinctive voice.
In terms of technical ability, he would be the worst besides Lou Reed. And don't get me wrong, I love BOTH of those guys. But...

<WhatItIs>
 
This poll is a bit of a trick question. If you mean "best singer" i.e. best vocal quality and range only, plenty would rival or surpass MJ. Freddie Mercury comes to mind among others.

But the premise is "of these singers, who [is] the best?" That opens it up to factors on top of simple voice quality: style, charisma, dance moves, song-writing, cultural impact. MJ was first and foremost an entertainer and he stands alone as the total package, with no one else coming close.
