Very nice, thanks.

Many fail to notice the incredible octave range Harket runs in this song. Try to sing it yourself, suddenly you realize..."Oh shit":


Crazy how much impact this artist has had considering how obscure he was when he was alive. "Hallelujah" is better known, but this one is perhaps more impressive vocally:


Many songs on Mariah Carey's first two albums showcase her incredible vocal talent. That was the clear focus at the time, and anomalous in pop music. The world was searching for someone to contend with Whitney Houston.


The first song we ever heard from Adele, we knew we had a once-in-a-lifetime talent on our hands.

It's criminal how many take Chris Martin's voice for granted due to familiarity. One of the greatest falsettos we've ever heard.

When your live performances completely destroy everyone else's studio product. Pick your favorite from her catalogue.

Was playing random videos one day on Youtube, and this cover of Tom's Diner came on. The dude in the brown T-shirt blew my mind. Was not expecting that voice to come out of the skinny little fucker. Had never heard of these guys before.

If we are allowed to talk about skill outside of vocal ranges and such we have to talk about Bjork's Medulla album

The thing was recorded mostly composed of layers of vocal samples

My wife found this one by accident too. Absolutely sensational voice.

Sometimes they're too butt rock for me, but his voice gives me chills in this song.

Great choice
I came to post Erasure, as I think Andy Bell is absolutely fantastic.
And if I had to pick one musician who I think was the most underrated in the ‘80s, it would be Vince Clarke. No one outside of music nerds know his name, but his work with Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and Erasure is just so fucking superb.

Destroyed the song and the mood, but who cares.
