@@Gogs126 I agree. Mick handles it cool and like a grownup. As for the idea that the lady is "rude," I don't think so. It's extremely difficult territory to be discussing vocal quality with a singer, especially as it relates to what happens to a voice when it gets older. But it is a legitimate journalistic inquiry, and hearing a singer's response to the question can be revealing -- about how they recognize and deal with it. Yes, she did interrupt him, but perhaps she was nervous about making that point. At some level, it took some balls for her to "go there." And let's face it: The youthful voices of pop artists are what sells their records. Would you have bought a Stones album in the '60s if it were a 70-year-old Jagger voice in the lead?

You just answered your own question. It's really hard to have a hot and contentious argument, between two people, when obviously, they're both right. The last time I saw Mick Jagger and The Stones live, was over 20 years ago. Mick was both glorious (skilled, prepared, w/perfect execution.) And pathetic. (skilled, prepared, w/perfect execution) Thankfully in very unequal measure. Whatever it is about live performance, that can make some old man look pathetic, while playing the music of the young man, was ALWAYS on display. It's only the focus on the question, as to why they feel the need to perform, that grows old along with them. The listening public NEEDS to listen to such performers. Such performers NEED to be heard. It's why all the greats had such an ear about them. It's also what provides a critic like this the time to have a momentary lapse of reason. In which the critic can feel (pretend) that they are on an equal plain, with their subject. Which will lead us back to, do-re-mi.

Bob and Willie Nelson are two of the best singers of our time. 'Singing' does not mean having a voice like Tony Bennett or Sinatra. It's knowing how to present a song with what God gave you.

[@Methilde]

No, but maybe real voices like Morrison, Hendrix, Otis Redding..... and Jagger

[@sprezzatura8755]

Jagger is a Class Act. Not only does he still want to sing, but many millions of people still want to hear him sing. He's actually a very disciplined artist and athlete. That's the only way really. Look up the video of him speaking fluent French in an interview.

[@selftrue670]

Exactly correct.

[@williardbillmore5713]

He is also fluent in German and Spanish. I have even heard him speak Japanese. He makes an attempt to learn at least a few phrases to use on stage in the native language wherever the Stones tour.

I saw the Stones last week in Austin with at least 30,000 in attendance, maybe more. It’s astounding how every time Mick moved the whole audience turned to follow him.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

@WheelsAlwaysTurning the phrasing Buford. not the sound of his voice. He sounds like shit to me since the late 70's, when i saw him on the "serve somebody " tour where he sounded great. In 1993 San Berdu, CA oi. worst crap i've ever heard live. shit band, his voice destroyed. not a second of anything remotely musical . But, back when, when he sang "like a Rolling Stone" or " don't think twice", the phrasing is beyond genius. where he lays his accents is formidable. Get past the tone and tambre and learn something Buford. Bob could do it. He studied the blues and folk and country guys and "figured it out". He could do it. Or you can ignore the object lesson in phrasing from a master.

It was Dylan's voice that was something of an obstacle to overcome and prevented me from getting into his music until the early 90's. It was an all-star tribute concert that caused me to re-evaluate my opinions. When I heard Eddie Vedder sing Masters of War it blew me away. I immediately went out and bought Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. From that point on I was a fan. Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see him live. I agree that his voice is really ragged. Sometimes it suits the song. His album Tempest is amazing. Roll on John never fails to make me tear up.
