Madonna can't sing?
I was in HMV the other day and they were playing her new album and she sounds quite rubbish?
to say there are so many madonna topics being posted here... she's not got much of a voice really has she... i'm not just wanting to put her down, the song frozen is good! just wondering what others thought... can she sing? |

Madonna's a lovely singer in my opinion.
She has a great voice on her ballads. Listen to Live To Tell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5KZEvLAFok Then tell me she can't sing. |

She can sing but for some reason she does tend to lip-sync alot (even if the song is slow).
I believe the majority of her 'Confessions' tour was live singing and in that case, it was very good. Especially 'Hung Up'. |

i'm not a gaga fan no hav
but she seems to have a better voice than madonna? yeah, maybe she's alright, i guess i just don't see what the big deal is with her! there are far better female singers out there i'd say. also, i wasn't saying all singers necessarily have to have good voices, some of my favourite singers have pretty bad voices in fact

She can sing well enough and put on a good show but I doubt she'd ever appear on a credible list of the best singers of all time. She's a pop star at the end of the day, having a great voice isn't necessarily a requirement and it's done Madonna no harm.

She can. At the Oscars she wasn't dancing. When she dances she mimes.

She cant sing but who cares...
She releases the best songs and thats all that matters. The fact that she has the shittest voice is of no consequence to me. Her music rules!! |

perhaps so... the 'cant sing' thing was obviously an exagguration, she's above average at singing i'm sure... i suppose i just don't see the appeal.
if we are talking big name female singers i think Bjork's music is much more interesting [than the madonna stuff i've heard] and her voice is far better than Madonnas i think. |

Madonna can definitely sing. I guess whether you like someone's voice is a matter of personal taste but I love the tone of her voice. With a lot of pop music, you don't need a huge range, the important thing is the tone. |

Bjork has a very eccentric voice and is an acquired taste. I find it weird that you would hold Bjork up as a model of technically perfect singing. I think most people would say someone like Adele, Mariah Carey or even Kelly Clarkson.

I would say Madonna had a better tone pre 2000 however. Her English twang has effected her range. Her voice altered. Saying that though she is at her best again on the track Falling Free so she still has it.

She has a lovely voice and sings the majority of her concerts live... sometimes her tone is a bit harsh but she can certainly sing. Those of you who say she can't sing, watch this and then say she can't sing... Quote:

Dancing and singing LIVE on her last tour. Also dancing and singing live on that tour... |

well after watching the links i realise she can sing, it was a poor choice for a title by me.
Also gigi, i can see why people might dislike bjorks voice it is a bit shouty my mum hates bjork it's all personal taste i guess. i prefer more unusual voices though to the technically good ones, plus those kind of singers, adele, celine dion usually sing boring love songs IMO.suppose i only started this topic after seeing so many others on madonna here, i just don't see what the big deal is with her. i guess i'm in the minority there though

I love Madonna's voice. It's changed as she's become older, as you would expect, but I think to suggest she can't sing at all is either bias for other artists you like more, or a lack of real exposure to her work.
I appreciate that when it comes to what singing voices we like, it's totally subjective for the most part, but I do think it's genuinely unfair to claim that Madonna can't sing. |
