The greatest rock vocalist Olympics starts now!!!

[Godboy]

This is the challenge. You must compete against MY pick as the greatest rock vocalist. Bring any challenger that you want. My pick will crush ALL of you!

Do yourself a massive favor, get past the very short (admittedly soft and lame intro) of this song and listen to this entire performance. He goes hard as fuck on this one.

This is not about who your favorite singer is. This is a challenge of who is technically the best powerhouse singer. Dio will be taking home the gold medal, I assure you.

How could THAT even come remotely close to Dio's performance and overall power vocals? You are not understanding the assigment. Thats just some dude who is sort of singing, i guess in an ok manner, but by no means techinically difficult.

This entry doesnt even make it to the trials, let alone the finals. Its the equivalent of doing a belly flop in Olympic diving.

 

[Godboy]

No, that is NOT a rock powerhouse vocal.

I love Ozzy, but he isnt a powerhouse vocalist. He will not score high in a singing competition judged by vocal coaches.

Freddy could belt them out.

Freddy could belt them out.

Now youre getting MUCH warmer, but i think Dio has more power. They are actually very similar, in fact, many people say that Dio is "the Freddie Mercury of metal".

Steve Perry = The Voice

I always found him a bit contrived....A voice so perfect, I don't think he was real.

.greatest implies how much they have accomplished...and by you saying Jack Bruce is just some dude singing tells me you dont know much about the topic you have picked....

 

[Blaster]

Another great vocalist.

The award has already been given for the last year.



And while I enjoy Babymetal from time to time I actually think Tatiana Shmayluk is better.

I was specific in the OP.

"This is not about who your favorite singer is. This is a challenge of who is technically the best powerhouse singer."

Great singer! But not a "powerhouse rock vocalist".

Its insulting that you think her vocals compare in any way to "God of metal". Dio is a once in a generation talent.

Su Metal doesnt use any techical metal singing techniques, no sustained vibrato or even any vibrato, no dipthongs, no power, she doesnt even use a metal "growl".

Different generation, Son.

Plus I already said I thought Tatiana deserved it instead.

If you don't know who she is try this.

She has everything you just described as "metal techniques" although I would say the Metal is the one genre you can do pretty much anything you want with.

Gotta watch the whole thing for the full effect.

I'm a big fan of RJD BTW. Grew up on his stuff.

But you gotta grow too. It's what Ronnie would have wanted.
