CRF's Greatest Singers Voting Thread

[Cosmic Harmony]

​

Coming hot off the heels of my guitarist poll I think it's fair for the voice of any musical to get their turn now. So just to be thorough here are the rules again....

*Each person gets up to 15 votes for any singer or vocalist of their choice. You may vote for anyone from any genre or time period.

*Rank them from #1 to #15. The #1 slot will get more points than the #2 slot and so on and so forth.

*At the end of the voting process I'll add everyone's points up and post the results.

*Every member is allowed to vote. Admins, mods, and any other member (Including myself) are permitted to vote with everyone has the same, fair number of points.

*You can post your ballet here (which you are permitted to make changes to all the way up to the closing date, which for my sake I request you make all changes in a new post as opposed to going back and editing the original one if it is several pages back).

The polls will be open for at least a month or until votes stop coming in. So with that said the polls are now open so have at it and may the best singer win.

(After 10 minutes of ordering...)

01. Karen Carpenter
02. Agnetha Fältskog
03. Russell Mael

Obviously it's far from typical.

And, for the sake of conversation, here's a few I felt painful to leave out: Barry Gibb, Justin Hawkins, Buddy Holly, Marc Bolan, Klaus Nomi, Elton John, Brad Delp, Robert Plant, Cilla Black, Ronnie Spector, Serge Gainsbourg, Stevie Nicks, Belinda Carlisle, Lesley Gore, Mary Weiss, Tommy James, Amanda Palmer, Freddie Mercury, Ann Wilson, Phil Collins, Elvis Presley and a thousand others.

Also: Oh my god, I forgot Bryan Ferry. Wtf was I thinking. I deserve to be slapped.

Also also: my god, this post has been edited like 30 times in the past ten minutes.
