 Many of us have been doing that already. I'd try to think up another...

I had offered to do the next one and that is up to Lorenzo but don't think it is a secret what I wanted to do..

the flip side of this. .and potentially a VERY interesting poll

instrumentals... and of the interesting part of that comes from having to choose from non  PA's types.. a real chance to get some interesting and ear catching suggestions.

Up to Lorenzo of course.. it is his BBQ.. and I am digging this cornbread man
 
If we do instrumentals, you might want to put another qualifier in there because there are endless jazz and classical instrumentals, so it wouldn't really be that hard.  You could get some interesting results if you kept it confined to more "popular" genres somehow (and of course, not listed on the archives).

There were a lot that were "disqualified" by me already being familiar with them, more than I originally thought possible.  Again, there were some excellent suggestions.
  Glad you enjoyed Connie Dover.  I think the end part where she is harmonizing with her higher vocals is just exquisite. 

Side note, there is folk song that she sings, "Where Shall I Go?" It's a cowboy's lament, he's too young for heaven in the song.   My 4 year old son was listening in the car with me and he said, "Well, obviously, she's going to heaven with that voice when she dies."  I wrote her a letter to tell her the story and she wrote him a sweet letter back.  Nice lady.  Smile

I think there's no single other person who can sing this good and has such range. When I check "the highest note" etc, I only hear crappy kettle boiling sounds. Dimash's range is very close to 7 octaves, and he is still very young. Actually he hits all those notes without strain, and his real range could be close to 8 octaves, and he might not prefer to showcase it. Or may not be "forcing" his voice lest harm be done to his vocal chords.

Dimash hit a beautiful and long G8 during a live performance. F8-F#8 and a long G8. As far as I know, that is the highest in a live performance. The funny thing is that, on the internet it is said to be a D8 and even experts believe that information. No, I trust my ears and it is a VERY CLEAR G8.

Here, you can watch & listen it from near the end of the video.
  Jeeze Louise, that is HIGH!

Nice to have some German language in this poll, although it was hard to not have this song blasted into your ears far too often in Germany at the time, which has killed it for me.
By the way, the lyrics of this song are written by Carlo Karges, central Nena band member in the beginning, who earlier was a member of symphonic prog band Novalis on their (very good) second album.

Actually I still like the odd Nena song that was not played to death, for example this one:

glad you enjoyed that Nickie.. with good reason that was the first thing to come to my mind. Absolutely ADORE her and especially that song.
  

I actually feel that as well.  It's not to "win," but to turn people on to music they might not hear otherwise.  

I worked with a producer on several musical projects who LOVED her, that's why I was thinking I may have heard this one a long time ago and also why I was familiar with her name.

On the other hand, I enjoyed most of the songs, so choosing is not easy.

My instant winner is Connie Dover - Ubi Caritas.

Second one is, well... Värttinä - Seelinnikoi is very uplifting, so I choose this. Very tasty vocals.

Third, well... ummm... ahh... so hard. I think Rokia Traore - Tuit Tuit is better musically, especially its instrumental passages in the second half is like prog rock, but I'll vote for Wagakki Band - Senbonzakura, as it is more fun and fits my mood. Another day I might have voted for Tuit Tuit.

As I said, it was really a hard one for me...
  

Glad you enjoyed Connie Dover.  She started off playing bluegrass then later fronted a Celtic band, then recorded some wonderful solo recordings with some American music as well. In addition to that Celtic music and a few things that are just otherworldly, like this.  Here's a link to her bio:  https://conniedover.net/biography

I say the person who runs it should decide, but that's not a bad theme either. (I have some German stuff on my use-in-these-polls list lined up, so fine by me, but I'm happy to go with a totally different or without a theme as well.)

I think it's most likely they will come back to see what happens and can then do their votes on their own (as has already happened). I think it's more likely to create confusion and double votes if anybody else does it for somebody else.
