Male Western music artists who sing well (1–10)
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.
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.
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.
Male Western music artists with great singing (11–20)
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.
BamboléoNicolas Reyes
Nicolas Reyes, the lead vocalist of the Gipsy Kings.
The Gipsy Kings spread the genre of rumba flamenca to the world, and their success would not have been possible without Nicolas Reyes’s vocal prowess.
His most captivating feature is his rich, full-bodied voice.
Maintaining such vocal depth while singing flamenco is difficult, yet he pulls it off.
On top of that, he has a wonderfully weathered, husky tone.
Once you hear his powerful vocals, you’ll never forget them.
TROP FRESHMonsieur Nov
Monsieur Nobu is a neo-soul singer from Vietnam.
Although he’s Vietnamese, he’s mainly active in France.
As expected, France—often said to be home to the highest level of R&B and neo-soul—attracts great artists.
He has a remarkably rich, full-bodied voice that you wouldn’t immediately associate with an Asian singer.
His approach to vocal runs and songwriting also clearly sets him apart from typical Asian styles.
His technique with vocal runs is extremely advanced, so if you love R&B or neo-soul, he’s a must-check!
