Top 5 Singers You'd like to sing like.

The top 10 band thread gave me an idea. Which 5 singers in world music would you love to have as your own singing voice? Here's my top 5

Paul Stanley - KISS
Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden
Rob Halford - Judas Priest
Chuck Billy - Testament (early 90's preferably)
Cristina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil

Okay, i know the last one is a woman, but i love her voice, so it's on my list.

Who would you love to be able to sing like. Anyone who mentions that floppy haired twat gets killed and eaten.

 

Dave Mustaines grunting vocals, Corey from Slipknots voice, Chris Barnes growling, Lord Worms amazing sound effect vocal box, Chuck Schlinder's voice also.

Chuck's cover of Painkiller was epic.

I prefer halford squealing like a small child. Great cover, but no match for the original.

 

lol yeah i know. I saw Judas Priest live a couple of months ago.

 

Assuming I'm not going to undergo a sex change, 5 voices I'd like to be able to emulate are Nick Drake, Dean Martin, Richard Sinclair, Charles Mingus (though less singing more yelling and speech, awesome voice) and Robert Wyatt.

 

Chester from Linkin Park
Trent Reznor from Nine inch nails
Jared Leto from 30 seconds to mars
James Hetfield from Metallica
Anthony Keidis from red hot chilli peppers (if im in a funky mood)
Hayley Williams (sorry just love her voice so included her)

 

Glenn Hughes
Ian Gillan
Bruce Dickenson
Robert Plant
Brian Johnson

Billy Idol

or like the user above me Formby

 

Here it goes:

Stevie Wonder (Legend)
Marvin Gaye (Legend)
Michael Jackson (Legend)
Craig David (proper slick and swag)
Leona Lewis (thought I'd pick a female singer... shes got some pipes and not bad to look at too)

 

While I love Megadeth, Mustaine can't sing to save his life. I'd like to think I can do a decent attempt at any style but if I had to chose how to sound like it would be Freddie Mercury. What a voice that man had.
