Sorry to post a random message but I ran across this track on an Amazon playlist and was blown away by it. Whitney Houston was amazing.
The best sung song ever

Eh, I feel like this is very genre specific.
I have no use for that type of music. Much (but not all) of the music I listen to has vocals that sound like cats trying to mate in a trash can. That is no less impressive and has the desired effect, often in a very powerful way.

Do not turn in your man card, just rip it up.
Olivia Newton John, Have You Never Been Mellow.
If angels exist this is what they sound like when they sing.

This has to be in the top 3. Hatfield just killed it.
To each his own. Very nice song but claiming it’s the be all and end all of great vocals is a little rich.
I’ll happily turn in mine too. I think the thread focused on the performance of the song not the content. Whitney Houston nails that song by any measure.
What an amazing woman. So beautiful she became a top international model as a teenager. Then they found out she could sing and became one of the top singers of her time. Then they found out she could act and made her a movie star. Beautiful, talented, intelligent, classy, lovely. And she had such a joy about her that was magnetic and contagious. Watch the video of her at the Super Bowl doing the National Anthem. It was awe inspiring as it was just when the war with Iraq over Kuwait had just started.
And all destroyed by cocaine. She should be the poster girl for anti drug campaigns, Show how drugs took one of the most impressive persons on the planet and destroyed her. Put up before and after pics to show the damage done.
I would add that Curt Cobain was outstanding on the MTV Unplugged Show. Such a great performance
That would be my pick as well.....just that Bobby Hatfield was the only Brother singing. Bill was a great singer also but Bobby's range and voice was best.
Besides a great song, it also shows how old some of us are getting
Great vocals and Curt Cobain don’t belong in the same sentence.
I’m too lazy to go find the thread but a it two or three months ago someone here open and closed the bidding at:
The Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter.
The case was closed!

IMO.....their best song....Superstar....fantastic vocals and backing orchestra
You can’t always get what you want and sympathy for the devil don’t suck.
Behind blue eyes and love reign over me for The Who and Daltrey
I couldn't narrow this down to 25, let alone 1. From Pavarotti to Freddie Mercury and a hundred in between, the task is impossible. If I must make a choice, it would be my wife in the shower singing "Rock Me Baby". She is a terrible singer, but it's not about the music. 🙂
when I saw the thread title, and before I even opened it, Whitney and that song immediately entered my head. So it must be so! 🤷🏼♂️
I think this is better. Her vocals are great in this too but her sheer joy is amazing
May Bobby Brown rot in hell.
May Bobby Brown rot in hell.

I tend to have a greater appreciation for voices that really carry the emotion of the song, tell a story that I can relate to, and have an imperfect raspy sound. Melissa Etheridge, Dylan, Bon Scott, Springsteen, Stevie Nicks. Also makes a song I can potentially use for karaoke night.
