Tyler Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 So I have a hobby of listening to a lot of youtube songs while on the computer and I absolutely love a good vocal performance of modern-ish songs n.b. not opera, clasicals, older stuff ect. I love a good belter too, if they do it correctly....So what are some of your favorite vocal performances, and give links! Also, please note this thread is supposed to have NOTHING to do with the music behind the voice, just the voice, only the voice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCKYs_LqERAThis is one that I can listen to an infinate amount of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Jannis Joplin was a wonderful singer and this song really is good..and this Allison Iraheta has a nice voice..its not a song i would listen to whenever but its something id listen to when im alone,drinking and just want to sit and think back when i was young and didnt have a care in the world..lol..to remind when music was music and it was good..

Tyler Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Haha yeha I know, but that probably comes down to personal choice, I like Alison's voice much better and it's more pleasing and fitting to the lyrics to me, but I am in no way devaluing Janis' singing -- she was a genious. Anywho, NoB give me one of your fav vocal performances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 i agree that the voice is unique but i'm looking for amazing vocal performances not just good songs or good voices ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellywerker Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 @Destructo, thanks for turning me on to the band.

Tyler Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Guessing by the reaction it was a rickroll, but yeah, back on topic, more good VOCAL PERFORMANCES NOT GOOD VOICES/SONGS/ECT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destructo Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 for me its all about having the voice fit like mike ness in social D or what ever the guys name is kings of nuthin. but chumbawamba's acapello stuff is really good and so is their folk stuff but stay way from anything on tubthumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 These are examples of the types of things I want:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ww4a50ItlA - listen to her perform this song, it's amazing, skip to the 1:00 mark to hear the songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOYrq3551bw - don't know how many have heard of this girl but I've been following her for about 5 years now, she's amazinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm6ywuGgLcI - you probably know of her now but she was famous on youtube before X-factor, youtube is actually how Simon found her for the showhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dNW07P6sfo - truly flawless just an example of things im looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destructo Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 what you should have said is female soul vocalists. personally i think frank black and amanda palmer have awesome voices but you wouldnt agree because they dont match your links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
