Best singer in a falsetto

[UTxOrange]

Not sure I used the word right (falsetto), but I'm thinking the popular bet on Hornfans would be either Bon Scott or Brian Johnson. I, however, think Tom Keifer of Cinderella rocks that voice. He can turn it on at the flip of a switch. Of course when I saw them a summer or two ago his voice was shot, supposedly he's had a few surgeries to fix his pipes though...

Brian Johnson just screams. Bon Scott......that was just his voice. Damn, I need to listen to early AC/DC on the way to work this morning. TNT methinks.

Frankie Valli wins this discussion.

 

[groover]

frankie valli if you're talking about someone who sang in falsetto at all times.

but roy orbison is you're talking about someone who sang falsetto in combination with natural voice.

 

[hullabelew]

Groover has the winner.

 

[DoobieWah]

Freddie Mercury.

You would need a largish telescope to see second place.

 

[El Torito]

Geddy Lee.

Take off you hosers!

 

[Texas007]

falsetto is some of the worst sounding **** ever no matter who is attempting it.

 

[Brubricker]

Judging from this thread you'd never know that women sing falsetto too.

 

[horninthahills]

Freddy Mercury. Duh.

 

[Statalyzer]

Yeah but it doesn't sound falsetto, it just sounds like a soprano to me.

I'll throw Martin Smith into the discussion and agree with Roy Orbison, I don't remember either guy singing entire songs or verses falsetto but both could slide into it for a few words and sound great doing it.
