who CAN sing?

“so I guess the real question for today is.. who CAN sing?.. If Britney can't.. and NSync can't.. and multitudes of other POP stars can't... who CAN?

First of all, can ANY pop stars sing?.. or by the very nature of their genre does it preclude possessing that talent?

The first person who comes to mind for me, that CAN sing (at least COULD sing) was Ian Gilliand (of Deep Purple fame).. but I guess it would help if I picked someone that you guys might have heard of.

hMmmm.. Rock, Country,.. maybe a few other categories.. best singers?

Rock:
Country:
Alternative:

wow.. I created this thread and my mind is blank.

ok ok.. Eddie Veter (PearlJam) for Alternative.. unless you want to go with one of the new screamers..

Country?.. wow.. tough choice.. but I have to admit.. I don't listen to much country..

Rock?.. lol.. can I pick Robert Plant?”

“SPAM can sing!”

“lol.. awesome.. what covers does he do?”

“Of Course we know Ian... he sang the title role in "Jesus Christ Superstar".

I still think Pilate had the best lines:

Prove to me that you're no fool
Walk across my swimmin' pool

Hmmm... Charlotte Church doesn't fit any of those categories.”

“and your bird can sing~~~~~~”

“Milli Vanilli.”

“Rock: Travis Meeks

Country: Brooks and/or Dunn

Alternative: Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer! Weezer!”

“I CAN sing ...but it sure clears the room!”

“Don't look at me, I can't sing. Spam has got a great voice though.

If you want my oppinion, I think Britney can sing Very well. I'm not into that kinda music though.
I prefer Motley Crue, Ozzy, Rob Zombie, ect.”

“Sweep.. sweep.... sweep this boring thread out of the way.

“I can sing like a drunken Irishman (VERY DRUNK) who has chain smoked camel non-filters for 50 years. Beautiful melodies for sure!”

“oooooooooh... a Tommy Makem sound-alike! I believe his voice was once described as "sounding like coke being crushed underneath a door".

Didja ever hear the one about the 200-year-old alcoholic? The chorus is:

Oh, it's never to late to start living
To get out and have some fun
The sun will just as shiny in the morning
As the first day the world begun.”

“For pure vocal talent, I would say Aretha Franklin, Aaron Neville, Barbra Streisand, and the list goes on. Paul McCartney has a very clean voice and he can scream and howl, also.
I don't consider those who only scream as having singing talent, even though I can appreciate screaming.”

“Annie Lennox.”

“Allison Krause”
