Best vocalist in the world ??

[lAbArynth]

So my 8yr old son who is pretty talented for his age and is already banging away a 4/4 beat on a set of Tama, has a Mexican made Fender Strat which he can barely hold, but hold he does and strums furiously and is going for singing lessons, and this kid has a voice, asks me tonight

"So Dad, who is the best singer in the world"

After great deliberation, I says well I'll put it to poll and let you know
So, here it is..... Anyone

[kim_eh]

Best vocalist.
I think you would have to leave that up to world records.
Mariah Carey... that girl can sing. She's not the best role model for kids, but she can hit a note.

[Maynard]

Maynard James Keenan.

There is no competition

[HarryManback]

Agreed. Maynard James Keenan

[lAbArynth]

Well.... I suppose if we're talking about great shower singers
then Maynard may take 1st prize

But yeah, Mariah has got one of those 8 octave voices that can reach most notes
Maybe I would second her to the legendary Freddie Mercury
