11 Greatest Vocalists Ever | Evanescence Singer Amy Lee's Picks
Рет қаралды 284,269
Күн бұрынEvanescence are a heavy band who operate within the hard-rock and alt-metal lane, but bandleader Amy Lee has a one-of-a-kind voice that's clearly informed by singers from far outside that world. While she's always been open about her deep love for music of all stripes, we asked her directly to pick who she believes are the 11 greatest vocalists of all time - across all genres. Naturally, she understood the assignment, hailing everyone from Stevie Wonder and Björk to Zack de la Rocha and Chris Cornell.
Let us know your favorite vocalists in the comments below!

I met Amy Lee about 17 years ago at a radio station in Houston. She was extremely pleasant. Down to earth. I asked her “What’s your favorite album, or one of them?” And she said “Soundgarden Superunknown I think is my favorite ever. But there’s a lot of them.” I’m sure we could’ve gone on talking about music all day all night but the radio DJ interrupted our discussion. Keep shining bright Amy.

Right! I think this list is more about musicianship and artistic integrity than it is just technical vocals. Some of these artists lead with primarily their voices, some of them want the audience to mainly be drawn in by the songwriting itself and happen to have unique enough voices to get people to listen, and others have hardcore vocals and amazing songwriting backing them.

For me Steve Perry, and Maynard from Tool. Though Tool, like Tori, is a bit dark for me these days as far as listening. And you. You are special. Some times still when I hear "My Immortal" the tears come streaming, in the stillness of the quiet power.

Amy, don't know if you will read this comment or any others but thought you should know that anyone that watched this video probably has you in their top 10 if not top 5. I've always found your voice inspiring and emotive, so much so that introduced my 10 year old (just turned 11 as of midnight CST actually) to your music last year. I want her to experience the best of music that makes you feel like a human. I have gradually played more for her this year and she really digs it, which makes me feel like I'm doing something special as her dad. She said she would love to see you play live, hopefully that will happen one day. Thanks for being so true to who you are

Your choice of music explains your musical maturity in times when many female singers had no clue about real music..! Huge fan from India...and you were my biggest crush 🤘

I'd say this list is more about musicianship than vocals. Some of the singers she mentioned are mainly known for their amazing voices, some of them are mainly known for the songwriting aspect, some of them are talented at writing catchy songs with instrumentals that would be powerful enough without any singing--so it's more about the stage-presence aspect of their musicianship that attracts people than anything, and others are the full package. With that being said, these are my favorite artists and musical groups of all time--these are only my favorites, I have WAYYYY more that I like, but aren't my favs: -Evanescence--mainly because of Amy Lee, obviously -Whitney Houston -Ariana Grande -Queen -Journey -Aerosmith -Beyonce -P!nk -Kelly Clarkson -Jay Z -The Fugees -Michael Jackson -Aretha Franklin -Mariah Carey -Kendrick Lamar -Lady Gaga -Elton John -The Beatles -Taylor Swift -Celine Dion -Anne Murray -The Mountain Goats -Adele -Dixie Chicks -Avril Lavigne -Alicia Keys -Boyz II Men -Bruno Mars -Christina Perri -Train -Jessie J. -Jewel -Martina McBride -Sugarland -Sia -Frank Sinatra

Since you have Amy Lee at the top of your list you should hear Floor Jansen too, she is the vocalist of Nightwish. Also, have you heard the cover of Killing Me Softly by Jessie J?

Love many of these, Amy has great taste. Of course she's too one of the greatest voices, she's top 3 on my list.

I'm a huge Evanesence fan, nice to hear Amy's thoughts about other vocalists. I know she cannot include herself, but if i was making this list, she would have been on it for sure.. Very surprised she didnt include Mike Patton in her list. For me personally, Mike's vocal's are number 1 in the music industry with Layne Staley a close second!

You are one of my favorites of all time. You and Damion are 2 of the few that can go from hard to a ballad My Immortal is and always will be one of my favorite songs and you are stunning

I have to give her a thumbs up on the choices for sure. It's rather difficult to list only 11; if it were me, I'd definitely include Amy Winehouse. And I love that Björk was #2 -- she's a massive talent & innovator in some many different formats.

Totally agree on both. Amy Winehouse's vocals on the album 'Frank' were of another world.

Love Andrea’s voice. Beth Gibbons voice in The Polish National Radio Symphony is so powerful and beautiful. Lana Del Ray is so classic for this age in music and brings my mind to a different time. You have great taste.

Hi, Amy. I must say that as one who grew up listening primarily to the genres of RnB/HipHop that I absolutely love your group's song "Bring Me to Life." Your vocals were just absolutely amazing! Perhaps you might try listening to Teddy Pendergrass as well, esp his remake of an Ashford & Simpson song "Is It Still Good to You?" ( It's on KZfaq). Such a powerhouse of a voice!

Anyone here ever hear of a guy by the name, Roy Orbison? Such apparently easy, effortless power in his voice, and so unique. A major influence on Bruce Springsteen.

Not just Bruce. Elvis was also a big Orbison fan.

I find Orbison's voice extremely melancholy and wonderfully haunting. 'In Dreams' is a perfect example of both.
