Top Male Singers of the world

best singer of all time and john lennon than elvis presley

great singer, deserve first rank..

Paul is the greater singer and I tell you why. MJ always sang the same range. High voice, novariation. Paul did everything and he did everything good. He is a much more variable singer. Just listen to the different types of music. He has a much biggger range.

He's the best! I love him so much! He has a great voice and has written so many classic, great songs.

The greatest for sure even better than Elvis,i never cared for mercury,paul is number1

MJ is a great Showman, NOT A GREAT SINGER

Michel shouldn't even be in this list. He's nowhere compared to Andrea Bocelli or Placido Domingo.

"I will", "I'm down" "And I love her", "Helter Skelter" and as a bonus ANY of the life performaces of "Maybe I'm Amazed"' nuff said

Good looking guy Great stage presence Out of tune and a bit sloppy Sloppy band Many cheesy tunes a few good ones Maybe no 20 or 30

Elvis was a gifted singer and performer. He really should be number one.

There's a reason he's known as "THE KING" he'll always be the best,ever!

The king wins - no competition

Elviscould jump from octave to countless other octaves with such agility without voice crack, simultaneously sing a duet with his overtones, rein in an always-lurking atomic explosion to so effortlessly fondle, and release, the most delicate chimes of pathos.” – (Mike Handley, narrator and TV/radio spokesman) “..a musician … pointed out that despite an impressive vocal range of two and a half octaves – something approaching perfect pitch -, Elvis was willing to sing off-key when he thought the song required it. Those off-key notes were art.” – (Patrick H. Adkins, The Dream Vaults of Opar) mj just sounds like somebody that got kicked in the balls in fact justin bieber sounds like mj alot blah

how do you top the voice of Elvis. Nobody even comes close. The best male singer ever.

Great singer

The most imitated singer in history. Nothing can be compared to Elvis, he's still the King.

Elvis will always be #1 . For his unique voice and fell for music .He couls ing rock. gospel, blues country! Just a beautiful inspiring voice

“The voice of Elvis Presley is perhaps the most contested acoustical phenomenon in modern culture”--Joanna Demers“Musical appreciation, musical meaning and the Law”, “Elvis’ early vocals, was a witches’ brew of gospel swoops, falsetto shrieks, growls, howls, and scat…an anthem to human cockiness, to the healing, transcendent powers of the life-force.”-Edwin Howard“Memphis Press Scimitar”, “Elvis manages to pull off exponential, seismic shifts in energy, unleashing hoards of it through his voice while, within the space of a second, racing up the highest, most absolute vocal intensity; it’s almost voyeuristic to see a single performer put so much energy; you look around to see if it’s really possible--Francis K. Green, “Elvis Presley had the most beautiful singing voice of any human being on earth." -William F. Buckley, Jr., When asked who has the greatest voice you’ve ever heard: “Elvis Presley..without any doubt.”-Kiri Te Kanawa (top New Zealand opera singer), “There is a difference between people who sing and those who take that voice to another, otherworldly place”-Robert Plant, “All we knew is he sang like a motherf*cker and that’s all that mattered”-Robert Plant, “He flings his voice up beyond the grip of gravity, and then surrenders, like a skater in a leap.”-Catherine Rankovic, Poet, “The greatest voice of all time”.- “Q” Magazine, “When I first heard the voice of Elvis Presle--you knew it was coming from the Source.”-Eric Burdon “The Animals, “Elvis was a university. Whoever teaches that the universe began with sound could use Elvis Presley as their full curriculum.”-Jackson Baker, musicologist, “Elvis Presley possessed the most beautiful musical instrument, and the genius to play that instrument perfectly.”-Mike Handley

With Elvis came a moment that changed musical history.Was created a new music,new sound,new style and first time in history teenagers have become a target audience and the holder of the trend.

Its Now or Never,Cant Help Falling in Love,Love Me tender,Hound Dog,Jailhouse Rock,Heartbreak Hotel,Suspicious Minds,Little Less Conversation,Trouble,Viva Las Vegas and more more Hits.Elvis is in the music created something new.He united Country and Blues by making them sing (and his 2 musicians played) on a brand new way.Do not talk about Elvis Ultra strong rhythmically and simultaneously emotive voice.

America hade 44 presidents and one King:) Long Live the King of Music Elvis!

Elvis is the best forever!

Roy Orbison was and is the worlds best singer. The reason is the opinion of his industry peers. Beginning with Elvis Presley,the greats of rock roll did not consider Orbison their equal but their superior. Nothing has altered that situation since his death in 1988. End of discussion.

He should be in the top 10. Not the most electrifying entertainer, but he had a heck of a voice with a phenomenal range...much better than some of the folks listed in the top 10.

aint no grave the best song i have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

still 18th

27th ? what's wrong you guys ? up !!

And now, 39th... :(

33rd?!!!!!

Miles ahead of the 5 above technically No one can sell A ballad like frank He's the benchmark

Frank Sinatra had the best voice ever. And it's probably only Elvis Presley who comes anywhere near Sinatra. He is the NO. 1.

Frank is number 1

This man had the greatest set of pipes in the galaxy

Should be Number One

so talented. Deserves more points

I like your voice

God of pop and dance ..from kryo

I've never been a fan...

Dreadful, squeaky, annoying voice!

luckily he is quiet now. we had this group of people who really hated his music so we bought his puppets and we stuck needles in him, and after 2005 e began to pump him with drugs and narcotics.. voodoooooo

Michael Jackson is a great singer but not the no 1 singer of the world.But no doubt he is the best dancer & greatest entertainer ever.But this 169 rank is also not the real rank.He deserve top 20 or even top 10.

He is the best dancer of the world but not the best singer though lot of people have posted comment that he is the no 1 singer.When we love someone we always like to see him at No 1 position in anything and his dance is the best in the world for which he is lovable all over the world.He is really a big entertainer. So people like to see him at no 1 position in singing also.He is a good singer but not the best singer of the world.This list is for best singer , not for the best entertainer.

Great Talent and singer, But definatley not #1 worthy (should definatley be above Mick Jagger though)

MJ cant be the greatest forver.Was have voice like girl.

Good Singer, not great. Half the time you can't even understand what he is saying.

He is the awaysome singer having soul voice. He can 7ing in many voices. He can also sing in female voice also. Once hear his songs

Best Singer not just for his unmatchable versality but for his ever reinventing and experimenting spirit, humble persona and the kind of Human being he is...! For me calling him a Legend would be an understatement. All attempt of praises for him, will always fall short..! --Rahul Pandey

BEST SINGER !!! + A GREAT MULTITASKER !!!

Best Singer not just for his unmatchable versality but for his ever reinventing and experimenting spirit, humble persona and the kind of Human being he is...! For me calling him a Legend would be an understatement. All attempt of praises for him, will always fall short..!

ust listen to it. I am sure you will like him. He is a very talented singer. I am not biased at all and I am not saying this only because I am Indian. I know many singers in the world.i am proud guruji

totally valid position!! He deserves to be in the top 5 singers!! To be so young and be in the same list as greats such as Beatles, MJ, Elvis!! Way to go Sonu!!

Sonu Nigam spreads magic thru his voice,music and person

He's undoubtedly the no. 1 singer of the world...be it Hindi, English or any Indian regional language he does his mastery in everything...his Kannada songs are treasures...his voice has eargasmic effects. And most of all the most humble n gem of a person he is. God bless him.

He has sung maximum of his songs in Hindi and other Indian languages.but he has sung some English songs also.The songs are 1.This is it(Sonu Nigam & Jarmaine Jackson) 2.I wanna go desi remix(Sonu Nigam & Britney Spears) 3.The one(Sonu Nigam & Jay Sean) 4.lets go for glory(ICC Cricket world cup 2012) and recenty he has signed a contract with AVICII which trailer is just launched.Full song will come soon So please check this songs on youtube and say what kind of singer is he?

Sonu Nigam has the sweetest voice in entire world and also he can sing in more than 100 different voices.

He is the most versatile singer in entire world.He should be at number 1.Outside India he is not so famous because he has sung most of his song in Hindi and Hindi is not an universal language.Michael Jackson,Elvis Presley,Freddie Mercury are famous because they sing in English and English is a language which is understood by entire world.But Sonu Nigam's voice and singing ability is better than any other singer in the world.

pride of india

No words to describe this ROCKSTAR !!!

TRULY INDIAN. JUST ROCKING THE WORLD.

Its hard to come across such versatility these days... Can sing Indi pop, western, ghazal, carnatic, and mostly all regional languages with superfluous ease..!!

Awesome man! This dude rocks!!! just saw some videos on youtube.. gem..!

Seriously the best!!

If you really like to test his singing ability then at least listen to his "cham cham" song from 'striker' movie. Yeah, only people who knows hindi will understand it. But, as you know music has no language, just listen to it. I am sure you will like him. He is a very talented singer. I am not biased at all and I am not saying this only because I am Indian. I know many singers in the world. I can bet he is better than many of them.

He is the best singer in entire world.

I think Sonu Nigam is the top singer in the whole world now in present age,because he is not only a play back singer. He is a "Rock Star" & he is also a live performer magician singer.He is also a multitasking performer artist. He is a bunch of talent..... we can't compare anybody to him.

hey dude, i am an indian, and i just love his song (yea, i can understand them), such a sweet vioce...

best singer ever seen

I have to concur with the poster above in that I too have conferred with a couple of Indians on this only to get the impression some people here are somewhat overrating his reputation. He is respected, but not apparently idolised. On the other hand I've not heard enough of his stuff to have a valid opinion of my own

SONUJI,HIMSELF, IS AN INSTITUTION OF SINGING!!

He is the universe of music himself because he can sing any type of song in any language & in different voices.In his dictionary of music there is no word like "impossible". Everything of music is possible by him

He is the only singer in world for whom category & language doesn't matter.He can sing song of any category in the world & also he can sing in any language in the world perfectly.Also he can sing in so many voice.He had sung title song of Tees Maar Khan in 54 voices.If you listen his classical song then you will say that he is from the field of classical music.Just after few moments when you will listen his devotional song again you will say that he is specially made for devotional.Again when you will listen his songs from other categories like sufi,pop,ghazal etc you will be shocked that how can one singer sing any type of music in the world perfectly.Suppose there are 3 pepole from 3 different area.1st person is a telugu person,2nd is a tamil,3rd is oriya,4th is hindi & 5th is English.But none of them know Sonu Nigam.When 1st person will listen Sonu Nigam's song for 1st time he will say that Sonu Nigam is a telugu person as he is singing telugu song perfectly.Again when the 2nd person will listen him for 1st time he will say that Sonu is a tamil person.Also the 3rd,4th & 5th persons will describe him as oriya,hindi & english person respectively.So from here it is clear that how much great is he.

he is the best singer in the world.....he can sing any kind of song ,,,,,from classical to rock .....he is great

he is very talented singer.................

wooaahh...number 3!! lovelyy! we wud be more happy, if he wud b at no.1 :)) so, KEEP ON VOTING GUYZZZZ....

"sonu nigam hai dum" he is my favourite singar .this man no 1 in the world rank of the singer

Thanks, at least I must say that they knew him! They said there were better singers in the 60's and 70's in India. I'm just interested as I don't know him at all and did not find anything outstanding on Youtube. Can you recommend something to listen to?

Plz change your friends if they say he's not great.No one is as versatile as he is. i'm saying this as a singer. i'm myself into this field from many years. He is a legend already. People are crazy about him here.

Checked with a number of Indian friends and they were clear this is a nice singer but by far not as legendary or good as suggested here neither loved by the Indian people that much.... The youtube movies are not very impressive to be honest.... What is his best song that people should listen to for appreciation of his singing ability?

he is the best singer forever. his voice like as honey.he sungs the title song of tees maar khan in 54 voice. how can he done that. awesome singer in world history. u know he sung songs in all languages of india. no one can beat him. he is the idol of the youths. we love u forever sonu. u are the LIVING LEGEND OF SINGING. WE PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN AND A HUGE FAN OF SONU NIGAAM .LOVE HIM.. GOD BLESS U SONU......

he is god of music...all d facts mentioned above are true.....he has not left any corner untouched.....he is a living legend.......we love him a lot

Simply in a single line I can say him as the Jacques Kallis of music.He is really a super matured singer who can sing any type of music in the world perfectly.

No one have rigged this list.This is real position of Sonu Nigam.I think that you are saying like this as you have no idea about Sonu Nigam.Listen the song tees maar khan from youtube or www.songs.pk as mentioned in previous coments of Sonu Nigam.Can anyone in this list can sing in many voices which he has done in this song?Do anyone in this list sing all varieties like pop,film songs,devotional,sufi,ghazal,classical and lot more in different languages & different voices?Do you have any answer to these 2 questions?

EAST OR WEST SONU IS THE BEST

Sonu Nigam,the ocean of singing tallent

Sonu is the pride of India and I am lucky that I am also an Indian & I am getting chance to listen your songs.We can say with pride that we have Sonu Nigam.

This is the real position of Sonu Nigam.You deserve no.1 ranking.Friends just listen the song "Tees maar khan" from the movie "Tees maar khan" in youtube or www.songs.pk . In this song all voices are of Sonu Nigam.Then you will know that who is Sonu Nigam?

This is the truly deserving position of Sonu Nigam.He deserve at least top 5 or top 10 in this list. Rock on Sonu Nigam.

42 is just okay..he shud be in top 10......proud on SONU NIGAM!!

number 86...the lister must be kidding or he doesn't know what sonu nigam can actually do......i have a question...can any one of ur top 10 or even top 5 sing sufi, classical, a mix of all these in numerous voices and different languages...

love you sonu ji. God bless you. He is really the best- a living legend. What I can say is that he is above all the comparisons

this guy can out power a nuclear bomb!!!! end of... the best live performer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was never a great singer! Only had one type of voice, SHOUTY!

the best voice

it's Freddie :D and he should be the 1st. or maybe it should be like this: 1st = Freddie, Michael and Elvis. they're all great but each in his own way.

best singer for ever!!!! #1

freddie mercury is the best number one forever and sure he's irainian as he said in one of his interviews : im PERSIAN any person who is iranian here , llook into his eyes and you'll see ! he looks like a reall persian man

freddie is THE BEST he's the best singer of all times his songs are unforgetable he changed my life and sure so many others no matter how sad i am whenever i listen to his great music and his powerful voice i feel sooo happy i feel like a millionare B-) freddie we miss u sooo much we still luv u darling cant wait to join you rockin the heaven

Keep in Mide freddie came out of now were he did not get any vocal aststence At all and was out of breath at the end of every song elvis may of had a more noted voise but freddie had the most expresive and had more fun too his music is my favourt becouse of the note but rother its becouse he showed atatude that even showed in his voise

(R.I.P.)Freddie Mercury is definetely the best! In comparism to him and other QUEEN memberseveryone sucks!!!

Best singer... amazing voice. His songs are so powerfull, beautiful lyrics.. He is the best among the rest.

Love the power in his voice.

Oops, messed up the comments. ((: Yes, Freddie must be a number 1, it is his rightful place. His voice is amazing. Elvis was good, but not so good ..

"MJ is a great Showman, NOT A GREAT SINGER" But obviously better than Paul. Anyone who listens to duet songs by Michael and Paul acknowledges that Michael sang better than Paul, and much.

Freddie was not Iranian. He was born in Tanzania to Indian (Parsi) Parents and then moved to Britain. So, He is Tanzanian with Indian roots and a British Citizenship.

Incredibe range, versatile, charismatic with a stage presence few could even aspire to. Better than Elvis by a mile

Freddy Mercury All time number 1

wth, freddie is just 6th ? he's the world's greatest male singer . . vote wisely please .

If you will see purely on the basis of singing tallent then Freddie Mercury is uncomparable.He is the number 1 singer of world.A singer should be ranked purely on the basis of singing tallen,not on the basis of their songs like Elvis & Michael Jackson.

Freddie is the best singer of all time ... and he was an iranian actually ... his name was "FARROKH" that is an iranian name

he is unforgettable. it is the first time that I am listening to a good song and that is because of his band. QUEEN BAND

IT'S FREDDIE MERCURY AND HE DESERVES NO.1

he is the best of the best, i respect the opinion about some singers, but im sorry freddy mercury is better like so many singes in this list

He is the number one!!!

Of course he's the best just love listening to his music every day.

amazing vocals. His voice is a musical instrument.

always best.

Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts including country & western, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, in all earning him 12 gold and 4 platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Rocky Mountain High", "Annie's Song" and "Calypso".

John Denver no way deserve in top 5.

I agree with the below comment !

A man who had over 430 charted songs and get listed in 106th. place in the Greatest Singers of the world. Whoever made up the list is crazy.

Absolutely love his voice, my all time favorite male singer. What I particularly like is how his voice changes and adjusts over the years from the 70's till now, and how he adapts his singing style to still deliver after all these years. This proves his professionalism as a singer as he knows how to fully capture the essence of each song and deliver it even as his voice changes. His voice combines clarity, depth, emotion, and power all in one and has an incredible calming effect that gets me to drown in his music. He is also a master performer when it comes to live concerts, his voice absolutely shines and sounds even better than recordings, full of confidence and excellent timing and delivery. You can tell he loves music to no end and it shows as his singing is always very soulful and carries incredible depth that is missing from a lot of other singers, especially when it comes to live performance. Listen to any of his classics like Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, I Guess That's Why they call it the Blues, Levon, and so many more and observe how his delivery of those over the years is consistently excellent. Even his newer albums like The Union and Songs From the West Cost contain some excellent tracks that showcases his vocal talent. Elton all the way for me, no other male artists gets me as engaged in music as him.

great singer

Watching the Unplugged... and Seated concert just proves once and for all that Rod is the BEST!

100% the BEST, voice and singer! Love you, Rod! xxx

Absolutely the Greatest! Able to genre-skip wile still appealing to fans. He has the Greatest, most wonderful voice of all time, rough yet smooth, strong yet soft, he can do anything! Number One beyond a doubt!

Should be NUMBER ONE! BEST SINGER, BEST VOICE EVER!!!!!!

That voice has taken a lotta of abuse but when Stewart grabs a song , it is HIS song forever . His stamp will wipe out whoever sang it first. Tremendous range where you feel his brain is gonna explode . For those NOT familiar, grab "Every picture tells a story" and listen to him deliver what could be the best rock lyrics ever on the song that made #75 as the best rock song ever. He just HAPPENNED to write it.

He is the best. Legend. Maestro. King.

The most soulful singer.

The greatest legend......

He is the only singer who has sung for the large number of the best compositions (Chart Buster songs) of India's best music director and Oscar, Gramy award winner AR Rahman.

He can sing fluently in English as well.

He is the best universal singer. He can sing in Hindi,Tamil,Telugu ,Kannada, Malayam, Urdu Marathi, Bhijpuri, Bengali, Panjabi and other languages fluently. He can compete with the best singers in all these languages.

Hari ji is the best!

He is the King of music!. Miracle voice!. All time favorite singer. I have been listening his songs (Hindi songs, Tamil songs, Ghazal songs, Colonial Cousins songs, Devotional songs, Telugu songs, Kannanda songs, Malayalam songs, Marathi songs, Private albums, and etc.) songs every day for over 20 years.

He is the greatest legend. He deserves more respect.

He is the no. 1 versatile singer in the world. His versatility has no limits. His voice is just an amazing!

Hariharan is an Indian playback singer who has sung for Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Gujarati and Rajasthani films, an established and foremost ghazal singer and composer, and one of the pioneers of Indian fusion music . In 2004, he was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India and is a two-time National Award winner (5 National Award nominations) . His melody has been strongly appreciated by the film fraternity.

Should be top 5

One of the greatest songwriters of all time, but not a great singer.

Considerably better singer than Michael Jackson, Elton John, or Freddie Mercury.

Possessed perfect pitch.

During his 50 years in show business, Campbell has released more than 70 albums. He has sold 45 million records and racked up 12 RIAA Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums and 1 Double-Platinum album. Of his 74 trips up the country charts, 27 landed in the Top 10. Campbell's hits include John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind", Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston", Larry Weiss's "Rhinestone Cowboy" and Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights".

By the way, it was me who added this godly singer to the list! =)

Love his music.

Underrated as a singer and song writer. Listen to "Cab Driver" absolutely magical!

Johnny Mathis is a Gem. A velvet voice like none other that no one else could possibly imitate.

Mathis is the 3rd most successful artist of all time from the USA in terms of success and record sales as. Confirmed by record historian and Guniess book of world records writer Paul Gambaccini, Johnny Mathis has sold well over 350 Million records worldwide. 73 of his albums have made the billboard charts to date, in the USA alone. His greatest hits album was the first ever released and was in the charts for 9.5 years selling almost 6 million copies.

Most prolific artist of all time has to count for something :)

Come on. Johnny Mathis should be in the top 5.

A spinto tenor & one of the greatest tenors that ever lived. His voice was technically as good as Pavarotti's & Caruso's.

His voice speaks of a higher realm.

Very romantic and sexy.

His voice has a range of four octaves. So smooth, sounds like he's singing just to you.

He's the world's most romantic singer!

I hate vegetables so I hate bocelli.

He should be number one.... the fourth tenor..! with awesome song and voice....... VOICE from HEAVEN..

Wow! No words to describe his voice!

I believe he should definitely be in the top 5. Amazing, beautiful voice...few vocalists can compare!

Andrea Bocelli is way better than luciano pavarotti!!

ANDREA BOCELLI'S THE BEST!!!!THOSE MUSIC CRITICS HAVE NO SKILL IN JUDGING HIS SINGING!!!

WHERES JAMESSS BROOWWNNN???!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Great Rockstar for kolkata's young generations!

Great singer!

no power no level, no pitch no timbre no timing no sound ..nothing there at all. The biggest nothing loser nobody to be on a list ever... Grizly adams galore

Utterly rubbish singer

He has charted more than 120 hit singles across various music genres and topping the country and pop album charts for more than 200 individual weeks in the United States alone.

Sir Cliff Richard, OBE (born Harry Rodger Webb; 14 October 1940) is a British pop singer, musician, performer, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist, who has sold over an estimated 250 million records worldwide.

To listen to Caruso is to transcend into a different era, he is beautiful.

Maybe you just haven't really listened to Willie sing. His vocals are heartfelt and touching. He has written countless songs recorded by many and plays guitar beautifully as well..

Willie is Unique.

HIs voice always puts me in a good mood. His passing was such a loss.

greatest singer of all time, along with Al Green

got to be kiddin'oen of the uttermost worst singers ever..period.

i love One More Night!

I love his songs! Never get tired of him!

total asswhole! luckily his fans cannot do the math

The best! #1 in my books!

Robert Plant blows most of these people away into the breeze.

What? His score should be much higher.

In his heyday, Plant did things with his voice/technique others wouldn't have dared to even try. Amazing and versatile artist.

Robert Plant deserves a much higher score. He is truly an Artist and at his best, no one comes close to what he can do..

ROBERT PLANT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER ONE!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

And he's buying a stairway... tooooooo heaaaaaven!

best singer of alltime!!!!

In my opinion, the greatest anything ever. I am a huge fan. he definitely should go to number 1. He is so gorgeous!!!! Really he tours after his new album comes out!

Performed a track called 'Woman To Woman'. You may be familiar with the intro. That sample, a hip hop 1990s classic, California Love by 2Pac.

Rest in Peace Joe. You kicked Ass and Always will !

the "Great Balls of Fire"..

He has had four top-20 hits in the United States (including three that went to number one on Billboard's adult contemporary chart and one that went to number one on the R&B chart) along with four platinum-certified albums.

The best one!

Why, exactly, is Scott Stapp(Creed) or Myles Kennedy(Alter Bridge) right here? Scott has one of the best voices I have ever heard, and so does Myles,so I think they deserve to be at least 61-70.

One of a kind. What a performer. 'He'll always be the Charlie Chaplin of R'n'Roll' quoted John Lennon. A master & wizard of raw energy Rock, an entertainer to remember till time fades away.

Not the greatest voice as far as timber,tone range.. but a gawd damn chameleon that stamps each song with the SONG's personal style. NOONE can sing like Mick Jagger crunching the english lyrics into whatever he feels like without a lotta help from the band mates. Throw in his writing skills and ponder this " "Where the bliskrieg raged and the bodies stank" and sing THAT line in a way that can almost make ya smell the action. And I am not even touching stage presence!
