"I Just Can't Cry Anymore" by Steve Walsh from the Kansas album "Power".
He is at his best here. Power ballad....vocal power, and lots of it.

Ronnie James Dio's performance throughout 'Rainbow Rising' is hard to top. I mean, listen to 'Stargazer' or 'Run With The Wolf'.

'Oh Darlin'!' is the best I've heard.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Muse - Microcuts
Matt Bellamy sings the whole thing in falsetto. He gives so much in that recording. His shrieks make you want to pull your hair out, and dance around with joy at the same time. His vocals are always top-notch, but in this particular song, he's at the top of his game. The way his voice slices through your eardrum is incredible...it cannot be ignored. Great stuff!
MUSE!

^ great song too. It has a beautiful way of blending a modern sound with its classical style chord changes and time changes (in the verse at least).
Very romantic era sounding. Good sh*t.

Hands down, Daniel Gildenlow, Pain of Salvation. that man puts more emotion/feeling into his lyrics that i half expect him to implode or somthing... I find myself crying on some of their songs, the sheer passion he enfuses the music with. His voice is very remincent of "Jesus Christ Superstar", if any of you have listened to the musical broadway production... wide range of highs and lows, very beautiful. i have yet to hear any vocalist that comes within range of his ability

SUPERTRAMP "Just a normal day" (on album: "Crisis what crisis")
It also has one of the most beautiful sopran sax solos in my collection of rock/pop. |

'Turn of a Century' - Yes. Andersons voice is crystal clear, and his tuning perfect. He conveys the emotional story in the song perfectly.
'And dream of sleep' - Kate Bush. Haunting and lonely, and the perfect intro to 'The Ninth Wave' 'New Horizons' - Moody Blues. Haywards pristine voice brings this simple but deeply personal sounding ballad, to life. 'Ashes are Burning' - Renaissance. Annie Haslam. Need I say more? 'Chamber of 32 Doors' - Genesis. This song is rarely discussed, so I think Gabriels very heart felt performance deserves a mention. After the cold anger of 'Back in NYC', and the comedy of 'Counting out Time' 'CO32D' returns us to the mystery and melancholy that underpins the Lamb. Gabriels vocals on this song are a big part of that. |

If you mean the recording with Ian Gillan and Murray Head, that was never staged in that form. It was the concept recording, done in London - after that it was staged in the West End (with few if any of the performers on the album). The first US performance was in fact as a High School play. Only then did it go to Broadway with Ben Vereen playing Judas. Edited by Teaflax - May 23 2006 at 14:40 |

Kansas - "Song For America" - Steve Walsh
Utopia - "Utopia Theme" - Todd Rundgren
And I like the way Ian Anderson sings, like listening to an old friend.

I was referring to the Discs they put into stores, as i have never seen it live i could not tell you how simeler the vocals sound. But refrencing the CD, many of the performances sound very simmeler, judas as well as jesus and peter. Very informative thogh... had no clue
 EDIT: what changed besides the cast? i have seen part of the play done on television, although that obviously must be somewhat different from the "Broadway" show, and it did not seem to be changed at all, at least in terms of songs, order, and structure. Edited by Mikeypoo - May 23 2006 at 20:36 |
