Gulls Pointless Polls: Singers

[Gullick]

hey hey all, i havent posted a thread for a while so i thought id start up again with another poll. no actual post necessary, just vote and move on if you want :)

okay so, what do you think is a better voice for music? i usually think a Girls for some reason, but what do you think?

[Mythra]

I like both female and male singers. But it really depends on the voice of the singer in question. In general though, I tend to like both types of singers.

[Crushed Hope]

Male vocalists almost ALWAYS have a bigger range of emotions they can express vocal wise. I tend to prefer male vocalists because of this.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Tough call. I'd probably say women.

[Nominus Experse]

Woman's voices can sound emotional, mature, and beautiful. A man's voice can also express the same exact emotions and ideals. However, if I am to listen to a "beautiful" song, soft and gentle, I would prefer a woman's voice. I have found that both males and females can have very wide ranges, and both can do most types of music. It's really what you feel like listening to.

I woman's voice in hard rock or metal sounds slightly different that a man's, naturally. Is one better than the other? I'm not sure. I think that most male's have a better suited voice simply because their tones are naturally lower. But that doesn't bar all women singers in the hard rock scene - Otep, for instance, can sing/scream/growl just as well as any other male rocker.

Really, I think that women and men have somewhat preset ranges of what they can sing, but it is never to be said that women cannot do this, or visa versa. It's just sometimes that a women singing a particular type of music, like in the sense of Otep, are almost something of an anamoly.

It's difficult to say what I prefer really. It seems that my music library (501 artists, 94 genres, 1200+ albums, 90.28 gigs) is a little more geared in having male vocalists. But then again, my music tastes are set to having Industrial, EBM, Metal, Rock, and Trip-hop be my favorites.

[Sunny Day Suicide]

I put dont care because it's my way of saying other. What I mean is that I don't think it's on what type of music it's good for, because you could have metal with a pop singer and it could possibly sound good. I think it's which is better by two different people.

[Venom]

Both are pretty awesome.

[Fuego]

They are equal to me unless they are Pat Benatar >.<
(That girl has an amazing range and she sings Rock !)

[kikimm]

It depends on the kind of music. It's my belief that women can't do rock. Something about the voice just doesn't...mesh with that style of music to me. I don't like it. I like male voices better in general, though, so :p But neither is better for MUSIC. They can both give me goosebumps.

[Markus. D]

ooooh.

I prefer to have a very good female choir singing a song in an angelic sense.

[Faris]

I prefer female voices, because I can sing with it. I have nothing against male voices, some are very good.

[Slade]

I prefer male vocalists, but I guess it depends on the music.

[Zeldy]

I know some male singers who have amazing voices. It all depends on the type of music, though. I like a bit of both.

[daggertrepe]

Female, but I wished I had picked the other one. It ALL depends.

[Skogs]

Definitely on the whole prefer male singers. Of course there are exceptions, but looking at my music it would be hard to deny the slant towards male singers...

[No.78]

Most of the songs I like are sung by women, and sometimes I think I prefer the female singing voice... Which is wierd.

[Mr. Graves]

It depends on the style of the music. Metal with a female vocalist strikes me as incredibly odd, as an example.
