I'm from China so I don't know many foreign singers. Can you tell me who is your favourite singer, Elliott of course , no doubt!!! :dance:
I love backstreet boys when I was a high school girl!! :yes:
Now I like Gwen Stephani. What about you?? :rolleyes:

I recently listened to some Lauryn Hill tracks. It's really good.

All time favorite band: Guns & Roses

Right now favorite band: Mayday (not American)

Right now favorite singer: Elliott Yamin :lol:

Favorite band: The Whitlams. (They are an Australian band that I wish would come to America, but I think since Tim is getting older he doesn't want to come to America. I wish he would! I LOVE THEM SO MucH!)

I like a lot of different singers and songs...my tastes are fairly eclectic.

I love The Indigo Girls for their harmonizing, which sends chills up and down my spine. I love Elton John, Phil Collins, George Michael and Wham!, Queen, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Collin Raye, The Backstreet Boys, Deanna Kirk, Jim Croce, Savage Garden, The Corrs, Pink, SheDaisy, Clay Aiken, Simon & Garfunkel...I could go on and on!

But Elliott is my favorite...I confess that I can hear the same song over and over for hours and not get sick of it if I really like it...but lately the only one I can do that with is Elliott. I have literally listened to several of his songs on repeat for so long that my daughter will come into the room and say, "Gee, mom, aren't you sick of that YET??" But how could I get sick of listening to Elliott Yamin????

My favorite is Christina Aguilera. When Kat sang The Voice Within, I screamed in agony. Seriously.

My favorite singer of all time is George Michael. Love him. :music:

I love all sorts of music, though. Here's a few of my faves: Prince, Heart, Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Chicago, Cher, Enrique Iglesias, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Wham, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Aerosmith, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Anthony Fedorov and of course...ELLIOTT YAMIN!!!

OMG, I know! I love Christina's Stripped cd, and The Voice Within was one of my favorite songs on the cd even before she released it as a single. Kat ruined it! Of course, her voice within isn't all that nice, so what can we expect? I was screaming at her through the tv. Such a beautiful song when Christina sings it, though.

My all time faves are Queen, The Who, Lauryn Hill and Jason Mraz...and of course Elliott. Oh..there's this band called Wolfmother kinda reminds me of Led Zep..I like them.

Female singers Christiana, Mariah Whitney Kelly Clarson Faith Hill Carrie Underwood Janis Joplin

Male singers Otis Redding Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder Prince

I could go on but they come to the top of my head

That's interesting - do you know why is that? I definitely prefer male voices, can't figure out why. Of course there are some female singers I like, but the ratio is something like 1:10.

Wouldn't say who are my favorite singers because you've never heard of them :P - they are almost all Middle-Eastern, Israeli and Jewish (I mean Jewish music genres, not Western music singers who just happen to be Jewish like Elliott, there are also some non-Jewish musicians that do Jewish music).

fave female: Lucinda Williams
fave male: JJ Cale

It is hard to say why I don't really like female singers. For the most part they just annoy me. There songs tend to be on the "oh poor me, fell sorry for me" side. I don't hate all female singers....just most.

I'm listening to Gnarles Barkley right now! I can't believe I forgot India Arie and Alicia Keys!! :banghead: lol

My all time favorite female singer is Barbra Streisand. I've liked her for, probably, 25 years. I'm 37 now. I guess my current faves are Fantasia & Paris. Male would definitely be Elliott. I also like Elton John & Billy Joel. As for groups, The Beatles, Smash Mouth, Train, Creed, Five for Fighting & Aerosmith. There's probably more singers/groups I like, but, none are coming to mind right now. I enjoy classical, jazz, big band, 50's & 60's rock, pop & alternative. Even some country, r & b & hip hop.

Fav Females- Rihanna, Ciara, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, etc.

Fav Males- Usher, Nelly, Kanye West, Chris Brown, 2Pac, Kanye West, Nas, Ray J, Ne-Yo, Kirk Franklin, Lyfe Jennings, Trey Songz, Akon, Eminem, John Legend, etc.

Fav Groups- Destiny's Child, Dem Franchise Boyz, Black Eyed Peas, etc.

As you can tell, I love rap and R&B.

I definately prefer male singers.

I have too many favorites but to name a few here they are


Frank Sinatra
Tom Waits
Elvis Costello
Stevie Wonder
Simon&Garfunkel
Prince
Genesis
U2
The Beatles

Michael Jackson in his golden days
Sam Cooke
Nat King Cole
Marvin Gaye

As you can see, with the exception of Radiohead, I have an affinity for singers with great voices. Elliott has joined those ranks :D

Cool ecclectic crowd. I started to make a list but got to over 15 and counting so I just deleted it.
Ok his the short list. The "if I were trapped on a desert island and could only bring the music of 5 artists" list:

Elliott Yamin
Luther Vandross
Ella Fitzgerald
Lauyn Hill
Sade (less about the voice and more about the music but I could listen to her old stuff all day every day)

But I could go on. I love every genre.

i've recently found that i have a newfound appreciation for the old style music. aretha, frank sinatra, donny hathaway, sam cooke, stuff like that. but i do enjoy evan and jaron, jason mraz, conner reeves, vanessa carlton...

i like some country music. love tim mcgraw. one of my favorite singers (blu sanders) also plays with the eli young band when he's out west.

i generally dont like female singers either. i do like faith hill... but really thats about it. i just like the male voice.

adding to my ever expanding list
