Out of the list Laura Marling is the most talented all round artist. No doubt Alexandra Burke will win this vote though, seems to be the way on this forum.

Out of all of those singers, I personally think it's Alexandra Burke easily. There's singers on that list such as Leona and Jessie J who can do great high notes, but their low voices are nowhere near as good. Alexandra can hit high notes, has amazing deep tones and I think she shows a lot of emotion. Also, a lot of singers can hit high notes, but there's no power in their voice. I love the power in her voice and she's unbelievably versatile. I think due to the music she's released, a lot of people overlook her. In my opinion though she's the best all rounder and best vocalist we have in the UK.

I dont think you can really count Amy Winehouse, talented she was, but she isnt currently in the mainstream music world, or anywhere else for that matter.

Kate Bush would've got my vote had she been on the list, though I understand why she's missing as it's mainstream.

Best all rounder in my opinion means more than singing dance/pop songs and being able to dance in time. Can she play multiple instruments, write profound lyrics and compose complex music/lyrics? Kate Bush is the best all rounder this country has ever produced, Alexandra Burke isn't fit to shine her shoes.

I agree Kate Bush is like no other, a true one of a kind.
I guess when it comes to vocalists, everyone has their preferences. To me, someone's vocal range has nothing to do with it, or how big someone can belt. A true vocalist is someone who can tell a story through their lyrics and their vocal delivery. So for me, it has to be Amy Winehouse. I adore her version of Our Day Will Come, such beauty in her voice and a real sincerity when she sings this. I would name more but I'd probably end up typing forever aha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxYRbzGi8Rg&ob=av2e |

Kate Bush wrote her first song that appeared on an album when she was 13. By 23 she'd released 3 albums already. That kind of writing talent can't be learnt. She can sing, no question. But in 30 years time will she still be releasing critically acclaimed albums like Kate? I really don't see it. She needs to cash in while she can.

Well Kate Bush isn't on the list, and even if she was, I still don't think she's the best all rounder this country has ever produced. I can think of lots of UK vocalists that aren't on that list that are better than Kate Bush. She has an incredible voice, but in my opinion there are better. And at the end of the day, that's what it comes down to...opinion. Currently though, I think Alexandra Burke is the best UK vocalist.

You really want to compare this....
You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it, Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? (eh, eh, eh) You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it? There's an elephant in the room to this.... Mourning in the aerodrome The weather warmer, he is colder Four men in uniform To carry home my little soldier (What could he do? Should have been a rock star) But he didn't have the money for a guitar (What could he do? Should have been a politician) But he never had a proper education (What could he do? Should have been a father) But he never even made it to his twenties What a waste Army dreamers Ooh, what a waste of Army dreamers. Even at an early age Kate had something to say. That can't be learnt. |
