I guess Wetton, Lakes voice is boring, and Belews voice reminds me of a trumpet...

I seen some live videos from the Belew era and he was a very good frontman no doubt the best KC ever hade.

Belew is the best choice. Not only is he a dynamic stage presence, but despite being the frontman, he leaves plenty of room for the other members to contribute equally.

Wetton went on to be the frontman for Asia, Greg Lake went on to continue being... Greg Lake, but Belew went on to lead Crimson through twenty years of their best material yet.
No more pity votes for Lake please, he doesn't deserve them.

Belew, as someone on this site (Can't remember who) said, he brought fun to band out of doing the most complicated stuff ever. (Pretty much)

Confused

I think I said in the case if your statement were right. For me a frontman is not just a singer; maybe all the singers are frontmen, but not all frontmen are singers. Then, how come you defined frontman as a singer??

What a difficult choice here... Well to me Wetton is the one, because somehow seems the person to fit perfectly in the Crimson context, maybe for his voice, maybe for his charismatic figure, I don't know it's one of those instinctive kind of reply one might give...anyway Belew is close behind him, for sure. 
 
 
P.S. where's Jamie Muir???LOL

I voted for Wetton.
Ealy KC with Lake was great, KC with Wetton was totally Awesome, KC with Belew was pretty meh-ish most of the time, but not without it's awesome songs here and there!

Hm, for me it's Lake...very good bass player, very good singer, fits perfectly with the original idea behind the band of king crimson.

Wetton is great bass player, very good singer, but...his voice isn't the best for prog rock, and in this case for king crimson, IMO

Belew, well I'm not gonna talk about him hahah LOL

Then who is the frontman from Liquid Tension Experiment? or Maneige, or MIA...?
