Vote for Ann Wilson 2) Ann Wilson

What amazes me about Ann Wilson is that she can still sing! Her voice is just as brilliant now as it ever was because she’s taken care of it. Steve Perry doesn’t sing anymore because he can’t. He ruined his voice years ago with bad technique. Ann is the best because she knows how to take care of her instrument.

tarot_contralto

Someone got it right. Steve Perry and Ann Wilson are def the best two singer’s in ROCCCKKKK.

The Best Rock singer ever!
