Male Western music artists who sing well (1–10)
Torna a SurrientoMario Lanza
Mario Lanza, an opera singer famed for sustaining astonishingly long notes.
Though he was an opera singer, he actually gave only a single staged opera performance in his lifetime.
As a successful film actor, Lanza began receiving offers from major Italian opera houses like La Scala.
However, he kept turning them down, saying he wanted to start with smaller theaters and step up gradually.
It’s a story that really shows his passion for opera.
His greatest allure, above all, is his soaring, beautifully sustained long tones.
The coloratura—what you’d call “faking” in Black music—that he spins out from there is utterly breathtaking, rolling and cascading everywhere (laughs).
In terms of coloratura, he’s on a level that rivals Pavarotti.
By the way, he was American, but of Italian immigrant background.
Я тебе не верюГригорий Лепс
Grigory Leps, a rock star born in Russia.
He looks insanely cool just at a glance, right? He gives off the vibe of a Russian don (lol).
In fact, his position in the Russian music scene is exactly that—he’s the don.
He’s truly an artist’s artist, admired by countless musicians.
His appeal is, above all, how cool he is.
He’s the type of singer who deliberately avoids vibrato and delivers a gritty, dirty tone.
He makes it sound easy, but when you try singing his songs yourself, you realize how skilled he really is.
He is, without a doubt, the real deal.
Peace Wanted Just To Be FreeStevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder is highly acclaimed around the world.
His vocal ability goes without saying.
Among US Black music, he’s unquestionably one of the top-tier artists.
Stevie Wonder’s greatest appeal lies in his vocally expressive performances.
Even Luciano Pavarotti, who would completely ignore artists without real talent, nodded in approval when they collaborated.
He’s a treasure America can be proud of.
Male Western music artists with great singing (11–20)
Ave MariaLuciano Pavarotti
Luciano Pavarotti, loved by everyone.
His voice sounds purer and warmer than anyone else’s.
In real life, though, he was wildly unpredictable—he repeatedly canceled at the last minute, causing major losses, and ended up being permanently banned from the major house Lyric Opera of Chicago (lol).
And the most amusing thing is his collaborations with English-language singers.
Around the world, singers from Asia and the English-speaking world are known for having relatively low vocal ability, but when he was made to collaborate with Céline Dion, he completely ignored her without giving her the time of day (lol).
Well, considering the difference in vocal ability and musical sensibility, it’s somewhat understandable—but it’s not exactly mature behavior (lol).
Still, for all his playful antics, the moment he sings, the atmosphere transforms.
Everyone is intoxicated by his high C.
Even compared to his colleagues Plácido Domingo and José Carreras, in terms of sheer vocal ability he stood a head above the rest.
Yo Quisiera Ser Muy LibreMiguel Poveda
Miguel Poveda is a powerhouse cantaor leading contemporary flamenco.
He doesn’t have the weathered voice of someone like Diego El Cigala, but he more than makes up for it with his vocal skill and emotional expressiveness.
In Spain, people often say “a cantaor’s face matters,” and Miguel Poveda’s expressions are breathtaking.
As he sings, his face seems to merge with the protagonist of the song, and his cante moves you deeply.
He’s a true artist whose vocal ability stands shoulder to shoulder with, and in no way inferior to, Buika—the genius female singer born in Spain.
Házmelo otra vezMoncho
Moncho, a singer from Spain with top-tier talent among bolero singers.
His biggest charm is, without a doubt, the richness of his voice! There are very few singers with a voice as full-bodied as his.
Among bolero singers, he is unquestionably at the very top in terms of vocal heft.
To put it simply, he’s like a Super Saiyan version of Shigeru Matsuzaki (lol).
His tone and singing style are very similar to Matsuzaki’s, but Moncho surpasses him in every respect.
Even though Shigeru Matsuzaki himself has incredible vocal power, you can’t help but wonder, how is this even possible? He’s a singer who makes you feel the greatness of the wider world.
Hubo Un LugarDiego El Cigala
Diego El Cigala, the current king of flamenco.
Flamenco’s distinctive vocal style tends to sacrifice some vocal heft.
Although Diego El Cigala’s voice is on the lighter side, he is one of the few cantaores who compensates for it with dynamic expression.
His musical approach gives him a unique presence even among cantaores.
His flamenco, incorporating genres like tango, is truly original.
In terms of vocal ability, expressiveness, and taste, he is among the very best performing today.
