1. northern mockingbird, next question?

:-)

"planet" is a big place, "voice" a broad definition

but yeah, nice linky, i'm listening to it now and it's two thumbs up

[idgiehkt]

2. Rasha

I always post her though. This is a song of hers. Salib Fuadi is the song of hers that I love that of course is not on youtube.

Next to this, I think the second most beautiful voice I've ever heard would be Laura Love's version of "Wayfaring Stranger", that one makes all my hairs stand on end.

[usaftmo]

3. Michael Buble

Recently transferred from Italy back to the States, and his version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in Italian is incredible! He's from Canada, and is also an Italian citizen.

[Bassic]

4. You're right he does have

a great voice.

[bleedingheart]

7. I am a Buble fan...BUT...I just got a Dean Martin CD and Dino

knocks Buble out of the park...Dino's version of Sway is just so much better to me...

I find that I prefer the originals...

[Left Is Write]

38. I prefer Dean's "Sway" also, but I do like Buble's.

I listen to Dean Martin all the time (and when I say that, I do mean every day).

While I like Michael Buble, he's no Dean Martin. Dino's voice could melt butter.

5. luciano pavarotti

Ave Maria

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. agreed

Pavarotti

[reyd reid reed]

11. Gives me chills...

every time.

[Kajsa]

23. Yep, and Pavarotti singing

'Nessun Dorma'

[Guava Jelly]

[Lautremont]

8. Johnny Yumyac, The Boy With Four Voices

I wish I had a link - once heard, never forgotten.

[demrabble]

9. Christopher Glenn -- CBS News

If you include non-singing voices, then I would nominate the late Christopher Glenn of CBS News.

I always enjoyed the sound of his voice.

[jakefrep]

10. This is my present favorite...

Gigliola Cinquetti at Sanremo in 1972:

[Rambis]

12. Niamh Parsons

[SteppingRazor]

13. Bob Dylan

:P

[fla nocount]

14. Tough one, depends on venue

Maria Muldar, Norah Jones, Marianne Price, Slim Whitman, Roy Orbison come to mind.

[Poiuyt]

18. Slim Whitman?

My mother bought me a Slim Whitman album back in the 70's as a joke and was disappointed when I liked it.

[fla nocount]

21. Uglier than Doug Kershaw

But the guy had some pipes. My mother also bought a copy from one of the album clubs and I would listen to it ALONE, I just couldn't believe someone that old and homely could hold it higher and cleaner than Orbison. If he'd changed his name, his material and never appeared in public he could have been a contender.

[Phillycat]

15. Emmylou Harris

[dixiechik]

19. eva cassidy....

this is a tribute...she is singing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSUGe-tVaJ4

here is a live performance and one of the loveliest renditions of this song i have ever heard..she died of cancer at age 33 :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGE_Fd9B6-4

[Beaverhausen]

28. I have a couple of her CDs. She really was amazing

Such a sad story that she died so young.

[lukasahero]

34. My choice without question

The voice of an angel.

Thanks for the links!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

20. If you ever saw the movie

where Bruce Willis is sent to some planet and is protected by a beautiful redhead (it's a scifi), and during the movie another creature does an operatic aria that is wonderful! Who ever sang that song, that's the most lovely voice. How's that for being vague and unclear? :)

[Poiuyt]

22. I know the scene you're talking about

I saw piece by the filmmakers who said that it was faked digitally. No human could have that range, physically impossible. It could have been someone singing and then was digitally manipulated to get that range, I'm not sure what they started with.

I think the movie was The 5th Element

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

25. Ahhhhhhh!

Thanks, Fifth Element. Well, that explains why she was good! :)

[Left Is Write]

39. The first time I ever heard "What A Crying Shame", I was listening to it for a music meeting

at the radio station I worked for.

I was so fascinated by Raul's voice that I took the CD home and listened to it in my headphones all night.
