Freddie Mercury

Amazing vocals!! Definitely had that IT.

Wow this guy had a set a pipes on him. he didnt even need the mike he could just get so into the song and go with it you could feel his emotions
jd

im suprised hes not nunber one by 85 percent at least. this guy was sent by god to amaze us then god took him back because he was becoming a god himself.

he deserves to be #1 this guy was a crazy singer 4.0 octave

Can sing better then the Three Tenors combined. So clear but so loud sound.

Brilliant, bloody brilliant!

Madman

I think he is the best singer of all time because of the way he could change his voice it was amazing.

RIP. The musician's musician. A total performer, we lost him due to AIDS. Freddy Mercury was the majesty that is Queen, in the company of Kings.

Nobody sings like Freddid did. Jakko and Mariah aren't in the same league with this killer queen!

Freddie Mercury, was famous for his raging vocal prowess, able to roar through a metal tune as hard as Motorhead, or warble a high falsetto that could turn opera singers green with envy. Freddie #1!!!!

the greatest and sexiest singer ever

No male singer was ever born with the phonetic abilities of this big music man. Definately #no1 deserving!!

Freddie Mercury, as well as being one of, if not rock's greatest showman, had the most amazing voice EVER! Just listen to "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" and you will understand...

BEST IN THE WORLD EVER!

#1 by far!!!! The greatest singer ever!!!!

ive been a queen fan since i came out of hospital and when i go shopping i always buy a queen cd and the first thing i do as soon as i get home i download it on my ipod. they really rock and im only 11 years old

There are no real words to describe this unique man of rock music. No words to describe his voice, no words to describe his success, no words to describe his duration. A legend can be only admired and not described. We all miss you king Freddie..

athens_voice

This guy is the greaterest singer of all time. not to mention his songwriting ability. Listen to some od=f Queen's earlier efforts like, Liar, Orge Battle and Brighton Rock, to see how good he really is.

Freddie Mercury is a man of wonder...and not to mention incredible talent. Despite his overpowering singing voice, he has a unique ability to write songs. Listen to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and you'll see the songwriting talent he has. Such a shame people nowadays can't hear his voice live...

Freddie Mercury : One of the incomprehensible, real and talented vocalist of any generation. He ONLY missed one thing in life - that's Jesus Christ. However, the standards that are set by him in the music industry is one of unchallenged tasks of all time.

No one can beat Freddie Mercury! He had the BEST voice in History! I don't understand how Mariah got #1... Freddie's rightful spot! Marish is great... she really is...but Freddie Mercury is better!

freddie mercury is easily the best singer EVER blows away mariah careyt she SUCKS freddie mercurys a soinging god

colin>rejynxt

No one ever has and ever will rival Freddie. He had the best voice and unique sound of all time.

this guy is the greatest ever screw that chick whos number 1...this guy can sing anything from hard rock to opera, from blues to metal. Just listen to Queen: A night at the opera, its crazy!!! He even did an opera tour with some spanish lady.

Freddie Mercury is singing.

He's a superb vocalist!!!Yeah...the Queen rocks

No one on this list,other than Mercury could have ever wrote a song like Bohemian Rhapsody period. Mariah Carey probably gets her lyrics and songs given to her.

Freddie Mercury is by far the best artist there has ever been. The man was muscically gifted from writing songs to making the audience feel a mixture of emotions all in a sigle note of his voice. A good artist doesnt just project a song through his/her mouth, but projects it in such a way that the audience will feel like it is them the song was written for. Real artists also use the resources they have to invent a song which captures a person's heart. Freddie Mercury was able to do all of this. After witnessing one of Queen's concerts, you know that your life will never be the same again. Once you hear a Queen song you, they will always stay in your system for as long as you live.
To summarise this, I LOVE QUEEN FOREVER!

anamonique

greatest singer only rock star to feature with an opera singer n listen to the barcelona sessions n ull know y he has to be first. Amazing vocals!

I can't even compare him to another singer cause no other singers are in the same category as him, when I'm talking about skills in singing and stage performance. I'm surprised why he isn't in 1st place, he should be.

Freddy Mercury had a voice that every singer before him and after can only dream of.He could sing opera but he sang rock that is AMAZING!!!!You could feel the emotion from each and every word in every one of his song from Fat Bottom Girls to Bohemian Rhapsody.The world lost the greatest singer of all time the day he died he will be missed.

freddie mercury = amazing

freddie mercury was the most awsome dude alive!

The only singer ever to exist in the world worth listening to.

Incomparable...Amazing...Such a loss....You'll never be forgotten, Freddie! You were and still are the best! Just listen to his vocals and some of Queen's hits...you'll agree eventually.

Even today his vocals are unmatched.

Freddie Mercury, in my opinion is the best singer of all time, followed shortly by David Bowie. The reason why other artist like Mariah Carey and other newer artists are on here is because they are popular now. But Mercury has one of the most distinct voices and one of the biggest ranges. He sang to some of the most favorite songs. Try going to a football game not hearing him singing to "We Are the Champions", or "We Will Rock You". Thank you.

I've thought about this for years. "Who is the greatest male singer of all time". And I keep going back to Freddie. His control, range, dynamics and presence is just a step above the other greats" Furthermore he's probably the greatest recorded singer male/female of all time.

Freddie is the most musically talentd person to ever walk upon this planet. His vocal range and delivery are unbelievable unmatched by any other singers. His abilities are not limited just singing, he is also an accompolished pianist, lyrisist and composer. Just listen to March of the black queen, Liar, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to love, Millianire Waltz, Bicycle Race, Killer queen and Flick of the wrist, to hear how good he is. He is the ultimate musician with the showmanship to match.

This was difficult, Freddie or Whitney but I think Freddie had it all and Whitney just lost it all!! SORRY Whitney!!

ang_blair

Freddie Mercury is the best singer i have ever heard and he could sing any song at any note and it would all sound great

Freddie Mercury is by far the best singer ever he was a living god and i now worship him as a god and it's a shame he had to die before i could ever see him live

Freddie is just Unique, no other voice can be compared to his one..I deffinetly think he should be the first one on this top!

he has to be nb 1. best and most powerful voice ever..

This man was amazing have to look past his private life that was his buisness, and focus on his talent and what a talent it was best singer worlds ever seen no doubt. With all the confidence on stage in the world true entertainer with the talent to match

freddie is by far the greatest singer. No one was like him in any way whatsoever. we will never see the like again. He even had the will to go on when he had aids. that is a true rock star.

Freddie Mercury is tha best no lie. His voice is unforgetable. Nobody has a voice like his.

craftypham09

He Is Great He Is And Was QUEEN

Voice, talent, writing ability, stage presence, and the ability to make even the fans at the back of the HUGE stadiums feel like they were in teh front row... Freddie, you were truly a god among men. We miss you.

Freddie could sing like no other! And for alll you other Queen fans out there, you have to listen to Paul Rodgers Singing Bohemian Rhapsody with the rest of Queen on the CD Return of the Champions

Freddie Mercury is the best composer,singer, and showman EVER!

anyone with a fully developed brain who has seen any concert of mariah carey and compared it to... say... Queen live at Wembley stadium 1986 would say that Freddie Mercury kicks ass

When Freddie sings you can feel the emotion of the song, you can feel his voice inspire you and sometimes gives you chills down your spine when he hits those high notes!

His voice simply owns all! it has a unique &(make-you-wanna-sing-along)tune to his voice and you wont get bored even listening 100 times.

He hit the stage everything was different...amazing.

had the best range of any rock n roll singer ive ever heard

everything is already said, FREDDIE NO.1!

Freddie had an amazing voice, one that we won't see again. No one can sing Queen's songs the way he did. Remarkable vocal instrument combined with master showmanship. I still miss him--RIP Freddie.

by far one of the best singers ever, awesome set o' pipes.

Absolutely amazing. He could do it all from hard rock in 'stone cold crazy' to almost a lullaby in 'dear friends'. No one matches his clarity and purity of voice ... modern rockers/metal singers tend to shout whereas Freddie could raise his voice and maintain the note. GENIUS!!!

Freddie is the best and maria sucks. Freddie's best song was "These are the days of are lives".

He's awesome for three reasons.
1. He can sing.
2. He can play the piano.
3. He's Freddie Mercury.

People who don't vote for this man are seriously confused when it comes to vocals. This man had his voice noduals shattered and instead of no voice, he arose with the voice of the angels.

the best ever...."oooo mother mercury look what they done to me"

Freddie not only was the best male vocalist of all time, he performed in possibly one of the best bands of all time. He was god

Freddie Mercury is WAY better than everyone else listed above him at the moment. I hope that his changes as more people vote.

Heshould be number 1 by far

Freddie Mercury is extremely talented and gorgeous.
He is ace!
I love him!

Absolutely the best male rock singer ever! Voice was powerful, yet sweet and tender. Shame he didn't sing more blues/jazz.

He could sing anything from "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" to "Tie your Mother Down", and he always did it perfectly. This man was definitely God, because there's no way his voice came form this earth.

He is simply great. For me he is the best. I love his voice :-)

this guy really really deserves to be number one. he has a sensational voice and he's just a legend.

Jeheffiner

should be #1 he is the greatest singer ever alongside Ian Gillan

Wow... he can sing like noone else. I can not understand why he isn't #1 here.

Freddie Mercury was definitly the greatest singer of all time. He had the range, and was extremely talentfull. He could sing the pants off most people. He should be No. 1, no-one has a voice special enough to match Freddie. Freddie Forever<3

THE BEST SINGER OFF ALL TIMES!

Freddie Mercury was and still is the best singer of ALL TIME, love you freddie

As a rock singer, there was no one close to Freddie. Songwriting ability, stage presence, a voice without par...he had it all. Runner up would be Robert Plant, but even he'd tell you Freddie was the greatest of them all.

The best and magic voice in the history

the best singer of all time to me.

my god what is wrong with this list freddie mercury should be no. 1 and other great singers in the bottom like frank sinatra,aretha,diana ross etc...wtf

No one comes close to Freddie Mercury in terms of voice quality, stage presence and showmanship, and maybe close to Lennon and Mc Cartney in song composition. Pop, rock, folk, and classical, name it, he delivers it with ease and perfection. Ask other performers to render Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions, they will pale in comparison. If only alive today, ask him to render a Sinatra, Celine Dion, or Streisand song and surely he would outperform these great ones. I don't find reason why he should not be at No. 1 or among the top ten! Soundpurist

best singer ever easily great in queen!

zeppelinrule

should be in the top 5 at least

Lets face it, the 3 widely regarded greatest voices of recent times have been female. Whitney, Mariah, and Celine. Freddie would be the only male singer able to take the stage with these 3 and blow them away. Proved it at Live Aid, far and away the BEST. Felt sorry for the next act coming on after Queen. I mean really, who could compete. Had a voice that could go from a choirboy to the heaviest of rockers in a heartbeat. All the while maintaining an unmistakable sense of range and power. The Pavarotti of popular music. He had it all.

This dude rocks he should be #1

freddy is the best! he should be 1st!

no comparison

4 words, we will rock you

freddie mercury was the god of music

Freddie hands down is the best!!
No question!!

Freddie Mercury is the best singer ever! HE IS #1 singer and songwriter!

I really don't know why for example Mariah Carey should be better than Freddy... While Mariah Carey may sing perfectly in studio she doesn't always show emotions like Freddy live, you really wanted to sing along at Queen concerts.

Every time I hear Freddie, I still get the chills. He takes you to another place, you can't just listen to him, you relive the song with him over and over, it's an event.

The best singer from all the times...

this is ridiculous, , one of the worst charts I've seen yet! Freddie should be first beside robert plant.. this is retarded.!

He had an amazing voice! number one!

Simply one of the greatest singers ever; what a voice; what a vocal range. Immortal!

Freddie was a fantastic man! And he's voice very-very amazing! I LOVE HIM, I LOVE QUEEN!

number one!

Fantastic vocals

his performance in don't stop me now was one of a kind no one else can hold a note like him amazing voice

For sure the best...

Best singer ever DOT.

Queen is just not the same without him. RIP Freddie.

Is not necessary any votation to know that he IS the best.
Forever. Oh, please. THE BEST!

Quite possibly the best rock singer EVER. He sang with such emotion.

he's the best

Listen to "Rock Montreal" by Queen remastered DVD 2007 and you'll be amazed how perfect his singing was.

No-one will ever come within a mile of having a voice like his he didn't need any effects on his stunning 4 Octave(ish) voice to blast out many of the best tune to grace this earth, the same cannot be said for Madonna who should not be above

Miles101

With a nearly four octave range and more power then any other, Mercury is the most technically accomplished vocalist in rock history.

miketm

the death of freddie is one of the most devasting moments the music industry has ever seen

betleys15

K, This Guy is amazing. You can't beat Mercury. He has such amazing vocal in a number of songs. Freddy isn't like a sappy singer like groban he's a rock vocalist, and does a great job of it. He deserves to be number one

a-guy-who-knows-good-bassists

How could Ann Wilson's annoying voice could beat freddie?
anyone who didn't vote for freddie doesn`t know music. Search on youtube queen bohemian rhapsody and you'll know what I mean

rodoglez

The best singer ever, PERIOD.

ciei

Micheal Jackson is okay. But I wouldn't put him as the best singer ever, all these people are good, but Freddie Mercury was just amazing. Don't believe me? Just go on you tube and check him out live.

Hannibalbarka

No one will ever be able to sing with the perfect pitch, perfect fluency, and perfect tone that Freddie did. The greatest singer to ever hit the stage, no one will ever come close.

Sokuto

greatest ever

jtwulvz

What sets him apart is that not only does he have an incredible vocal range, but also knows how to shape his voice and make it perfect for the song.

toolenduso

I don't care what people say about him... the man could sing...

SRVthedestroyer

no way anyone can beat Mercury. He sang opera for God's sake

jimwasdoors

Freddie Mercury has to be number one for this list to have any credibility.

Also, Why the heck is Bruce Dickinson not in the Top 10?

LonelyLongDistanceRunner

Freddie Mercury is by far the greatest singer ever.His voice fills me with power and energy.R.I.P Freddie, we all love you.

Klauz

Number 1 for sure. Mercury should be destroying the competition right now but I guess people don't know what talent is cause they vote for people like Josh Groban and Tose Proeski. LOL.

metalmaiden

The best singer the world has ever seen.

jasonfoxrox

No doubt he is the best singer ever! Nobody can tease the audience the way he did. He was the most intelligent and talented singer-songwriter of rock. People in Hungary will never forget his wonderful performance when he sang a folk song in Hungarian. I always cry a river when I listen to it and think that this amazing person can't be with us. RIP Freddie, you are painfully missed.

bettiblue

Mercury made Queen what it was, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Show must go on, Dont Stop Me Now, Save Me, the list goes on. He could master the fast songs, the slow songs, and the songs other artists wouldn't dare try. Has more energy than any other singer I've ever seen.

ihatethisname

Great voice in a unique music style,there will never be another voice like Freddy Mercury.

NoobPwner

who wants to live forever is such a beautiful song and the emotion in it is amazing!

mrsbee1980

NUMBER 8???? Number 1! Not only can he perform like no other singer he has the greatest voice too! Who in god's name is Tose whoever?

Willard45

He is by far the best singer ever. No question.

Kaz

come on people Freddie should be at numba 1 his voice is amazing no other person in the world had a voice like him. R. I. P

KillerQueen

Wow. Just... wow.

whoomp12

No one combined power, range, emotion and raw energy like Freddie.

howie115

The most amazing voice with the most amazing range

giguise

ALL ABOVE FREDDIE ARE BETTER? WHAT DO YOU ALL HAVE YOUR HEADS UP YOUR BUTTS? LET'S GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE. FREDDIE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NO.1 REST IN PEACE.

oriely24

Um... no one else can sing like he could. It's not about a matter of influence his voice is so amazing that no one CAN duplicate what he has. No one else should be number 1.

Badoosh45

ok... what is wrong with the world!?! freddie mercury #10! he is great! just listen to any queen song or even stuff from his solo career he's just great!

RIP Freddie Mercury

678rob754

KK this guy is number 1! Freddie is insane! When I listened to bohemian rhapsody I thot it was like an entire choir singing!

Marcopwnzatdrums

#1 on my list of most incredible singers of all time

idolangelx13

Damn it people, why is Freddie back to #10. He is ten times better then everyone above him. A pair of vocals that could hit any note. R. I. P Freddie, we miss you.

metalmaiden

I've never even HEARD of the top 2 people. Freddie is the best singer, ever, hands down.

JCMercenary

I've never heard about the first 5! Freddie Mercury is the greatest, no doubt.

alon105

Simply put He was the best no one,thats NO ONE comes anywhere near him.He could sing any style from opera (yes Barcelona album is now considered a classic Classical album) to ragtime to the heavy stuff and on and on. Who else? Answer:NO one. Long live the King Of Rock!

gerrywalsh

Mercury was the greatest singer, not only was his vocal range incredible, but he had a talent for other instruments which although he rarely played them live is evident. His song writing credits are on several queen greats. Surely he should be at number one.

icaruswings

I'm listening to "Killer Queen" right now- nothing can ever ever ever beat Freddie dear.

Queen-aholic

he is the Greatest Signer of All Time...

ninjacobra

A truly amazing voice. Steve Perry's pretty awesome too but Freddie is mind blowing. Why is Rhydian at number one? All he ever did was come second in a talent show!

Cantonez

Freddie does not belong so low on this list guys!

DynamicFlow

can't be even compared with the ones on top - really has a special voice that comes only once or twice in a decade - and that's what you call "talent"

dd369

I think Freddie Mercury is the best one cause nobody can do the things that he did

chipimaster

I notice that freddie shot down and mj shot up just after he died, when we all know mercury is the best

Cantonez
