All these singers come from the school of Daryl Coley, Stevie Wonder, Charlie Wilson and James Moore. Everyone else can just go home. Can't compare the master to the students. Btw, Tank needs to enunciate.

[@g4do]

With respect to the singers with incredible tone , I can't stand over singers. After awhile you get lost and forget what the song was about. Emotions can be displayed without the aggravating over singing of beautiful songs

[@leefc6198]

I agree 100% The thing that always put singers like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey above many other artist is those 3 women possess a level of musicality that is not oftentimes understood. Just because a voice can do riff, runs, melismas, trills and other vocal acrobatics doesn't mean you should always do them. You need to know how to finesse a piece of music, how to sing with the song and make your voice an accompanying instrument to express not just the lyrical content but the emotive feeling of the body of work you are performing or recording. Many of the men in this video are incredibly talented but for what they possess in terms of vocal control and ear for tune and pitch they lack an basic understanding of music and how to make a good piece of music sound good to a listener. I cannot enjoy the performances by artists like these and many others equally talented singers because they are too busy trying to impress me with their vocal acrobatics while I'm busy trying to be impressed bu an amazing vocal performance as an element to an overall piece of music
