Guilty Vocal Pleasures! Dont Be Ashamed!

EtherEclectic	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 1:31 AM soooo im going to lay myself out on the line in the process of saying this but damn! lets spill it, what are your guilty pleasures as far as singers that you usually wouldnt admit due to fear etc. mine would be: Lindsay Lohan...damn she can really bloody sing. hot too, but she does have a good voice and i have to admit i love her music... so that is for me: dimmi borgir, rush, pink floyd, sarah brightman, and now Lindsay Lohan as my own choices of music.
Dexter	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:37 AM Aaron and / or Nick Carter
psypig	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 7:25 AM I actually really like Dani Filth's vocals. So there.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:00 AM hey he can accually sing normal, well its peter steele style, but he can accually carry a normal note. he rarely does it though, only a few songs have him singing clean for a few seconds.
snotjello	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 5:10 AM I've always been rather un-hip in my choices anyway, so I'm really not ashamed to admit to liking who I like. But in trying to think of singers I like who aren't necessarily herd-approved, or at least not anymore: Barry Gibb, Karen Carpenter, Dione Warwick, Dean Martin... There are tons, but that's all that's coming to me at 4am.
MitchWillis	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 6:42 AM Ok i was flicking through my cd collection and the odd one out was Kid Rock.
Dexter	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 6:46 AM Nothing to be about there snotjello
sinai	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 8:33 AM Bette Midler. before you say anything, Blow Me.
kingo	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 10:48 AM The worst for my image (it's very painstakingly maintained, you know,) guilty-pleasure singer that I can think of right now is -- I kinda like that damned kid from... erm. That one band. With the other guys. Uhm. Justin Timberlake.
wailingmiserere	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 12:22 PM Ooh, probably Gwen Stefani...
victorsskull	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 12:44 PM shakira or hw ever you spell it oh and it helps that she can shake that ass ;faint:
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 12:54 PM nothing wrong with bette midler, her slower stuff is pretty but i cant stand her jazzy stuff. luck be a lady tonight etc
shadowself	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 1:57 PM I think Leah Nash from Sixpence None The Richer has a very cute voice. I used to listen to them a lot for some reason.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 2:59 PM what? Leah Nash? she got married? she used to be Leah Brigman i think
shadowself	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 3:05 PM Googled: sixpence brigman - 127 results Googled: sixpence Nash - 116,000 results
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 3:28 PM oh i wasnt questioning your knowledge of sixpence none the richer, i was just shocked she got married. brigman isnt the correct spelling anyways.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 3:30 PM leigh bingham was her maiden name, got bloody married! damn i always liked her
shadowself	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 4:06 PM Ahhh, okay. I had known her as Leigh Nash since I started listening to them in 1997, though.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 4:46 PM nope, im just as guilty as you, been listening to them when they are on a christian label... i picked it up because someone told me it sounded alot like 10,000 maniacs
desiderata	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 4:55 PM Avril Lavigne.
K3VIN	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 4:57 PM Kelly Clarkson
shadowself	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 6:36 PM I find it pretty humourous that I was quite a fan of SNTR a few years ago, being an atheist and all. Then again, I was never into them for the lyrics. I just like the sound of her voice and the jangly guitars. Another christian band I absolutely LOVE is King's X... but that is not a guilty pleasure at all. They rock!
EtherEclectic	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 7:31 PM ya their guitar work is awsome, alot of bouncing delays etc.
Distilled1	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 8:08 PM oooh Kings-X Mine would have to be Sade
sinai	Date: November 12, 2005 @ 1:08 AM Mindless Self Indulgence, if only for love of what i think is the coolest band name I've ever heard. but the falsetto singer gets me alot of weird looks when i'm bumpin em at a traffic light
celtaidd	Date: November 12, 2005 @ 9:01 PM whoever sang on "Great gig in the sky" by Pink Floyd, janis joplin, Peter Gabrieland anyone that can sing in tune?
evansorchid	Date: November 12, 2005 @ 10:07 PM I'll probably get all sorts of crap for this, but I would have to say.... Phil Collins
EtherEclectic	Date: November 12, 2005 @ 10:18 PM ya know disney may give phil collins a bad rap, but he is a very good musician, and an outstanding drummer especially.
Veracohr	Date: November 13, 2005 @ 2:35 PM I guess I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I kind of like some Auto-Tuned vocals--when it's used as an effect, not to fix a bad singer.
Alecs	Date: November 13, 2005 @ 3:55 PM eh I actually really enjoy Steve Vai's singing, though most others don't
kingo	Date: November 14, 2005 @ 8:04 AM shadowself, since you started a little tangent here - King's X is awesome. I think they've recently had a sort of... uhm... they were unborn again or something. If I'm not mistaken one or all of them have fallen back over to the heathen side.
azhazhellfire	Date: November 15, 2005 @ 3:54 AM ................................... ................................... ................................... ................................... ................................... .......Hillary Duff.
ryanwilliams	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 1:26 AM Britney Spears is not a good singer. But she happens to have singles that are just damn catchy. It drives me nuts.
shadowself	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 8:21 AM Of course she does. I would too if I had a team of songwriters on staff.
PrincessTast...	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 1:12 PM The guy from Rush. What's his name so I can properly immortalize it on this thread?
shadowself	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 1:34 PM Geddy (Gary) Lee. I love Rush, but I usually just ignore Geddy's voice.
PrincessTast...	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 6:16 PM heh, heh
PrincessTast...	Date: November 16, 2005 @ 6:17 PM That's why it's called a guilty pleasure..
BlackMage	Date: November 18, 2005 @ 1:00 AM Yngwie Malmsteen fucking rules. Perfect cigar and vodka voice.
aflunky	Date: November 19, 2005 @ 12:14 AM Jewel and Alanis Morriesett! THey Really get my blood pumpin in the right places.
TameasDust	Date: November 19, 2005 @ 4:43 AM bette Midler has great range ... Si
Alecs	Date: November 19, 2005 @ 3:19 PM "Yngwie Malmsteen fucking rules. Perfect cigar and vodka voice." Are you referring to on his albums, like "I Am A Viking"? Or are you referring to when he did Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) on the G3'03 dvd and you couldn't understand a word he was saying and fell over laughing?
johnyjordan	Date: November 19, 2005 @ 3:43 PM Britney Spears, but for only 1 song. "Sometimes"
snotjello	Date: November 20, 2005 @ 8:11 AM I agree about Bette Midler, but not about her range. I think she has a fairly limited range, but great range doesn't make a great singer any more than an extra string makes a great guitarist. Bette's strength is as an interpreter of lyrics; funny or sad, she has such a fervent association with the songs she sings, and delivers them as an actor might a soliloquy.
LeNoraJaye	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 5:24 PM Lindsay Lohan....Hilary Duff...Yelly Clarkson backing slowly but surely out of this thread.... wait! I think I'll co-sign whoever mentioned Avril Lavigne.... damnit, the Matrix's got me!
AbortiveMind	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 5:31 PM John Frusciante (whatever others may think ) Josh Klinghoffer Nelly Furtado Sheryl Crow James Walsh (Starsailor) singer of Noir Désir (can't remember his name)
shadowself	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 9:20 PM Sheryl Crow killed Kevin Gilbert.
K3VIN	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 9:29 PM avril lavigne is the biggest poser ever.. she says shes not like other pop stars has songs taht say dont be a poser skater boi all that shit yet she dided her hair blonde __-__
hate9wicket	Date: November 28, 2005 @ 9:34 PM I hate Sheryl Crow, she killed John O'brien too (Leaving Las Vegas), she has a tendancy to take full credit for work that was collaborative. BUT, she is a guilty pleasure of mine too.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 29, 2005 @ 12:27 AM my biggest guilty pleasure isnt really a guilty pleasure but just very odd for my usual music choice and that is sarah brightman, she covered queens' "who wants to live forever" on her latest world tour and it was awsome.

BlackMage	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 6:36 AM "Or are you referring to when he did Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) on the G3'03 dvd and you couldn't understand a word he was saying and fell over laughing?" Voodoo Child. Haven't heard his other singing, though...
perkie1973	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 9:01 PM kelly clarkson....
shadowself	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 9:27 PM Hey, hate9wicket - when Sheryl Crow was asked if Leaving Las Vegas was autobiographical, she said it was. At that time, she has never even been to Las Vegas, and it was Kevin Gilbert (and likely Baerwald and the rest of the T.N.M.C.) who had written the song. It makes me angry that she is so famous, yet when I rave about my hero to other people, it's always "Kevin WHO?"
shadowself	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 9:31 PM Based on O'Brien's work, of course. I blame her more for Gilbert's death than I do for O'Brien's... but both were tortured souls, I guess. I am just so sickened that KG didn't even hit 30 years old that I wanna point fingers at someone.
evansorchid	Date: December 2, 2005 @ 11:46 PM Kevin who?
zedsalt	Date: December 3, 2005 @ 11:47 AM That was plain evil, E.O. I don't have anything to really contribute to this thread, but that's more a matter of not being embarassed by things that probably should embarass me.

hantu	Date: September 8, 2006 @ 4:17 AM NSYNC
sqrlcub	Date: September 8, 2006 @ 3:34 PM It seems like almost all the vocalists I like are guilty pleasures. I was on a Dick Haymes kick for a while. He puts Sinatra to shame. I'm just happy I have enough taste to loathe Macy Gray. Vocal nodes are not sexy. They are callouses on your vocal chords and sound gross as hell.
SimonWaldram	Date: September 8, 2006 @ 7:32 PM sqrlcub, are you then saying that Marge Simpson doesn't sound sexy either?!
hantu	Date: September 8, 2006 @ 8:40 PM oh Marge
perkie1973	Date: October 16, 2006 @ 10:50 AM The Killers....
southwing	Date: October 16, 2006 @ 12:24 PM spandau ballet, that guys voice is just so Britishly awesome
johnnygnote	Date: October 16, 2006 @ 2:16 PM Jennifer Love Hewitt damn is she cute in her video "Bare Naked" and quite a good vocalist too
Snoogans775	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 1:53 AM haven't heard it, but I was really scared. The ONE! The ONLY! William Hung. and his name sounds like a pornstar!
Opossum	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 2:01 AM Jim Neighbors - "Go Tell It On The Mountain" cough
sqrlcub	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 4:50 PM A bit late in the reply...Marge Simpson sounds gross too.
hantu	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 5:16 PM no she don't!!!
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: October 17, 2006 @ 5:18 PM Agnetha and Frida from ABBA Tanya Donnelly and Juliana Hatfield their guitar playing and backing music can rock you like a hurricane but the vocals are sweet, syrupy goodness...mmm mmm
Dexter	Date: October 18, 2006 @ 6:15 AM On 11th Nov 2012, sinai said: Bette Midler. before you say anything, Blow Me. Most guys I know who like Bette Midler are praying for the day that will happen
Wildy1	Date: October 18, 2006 @ 8:25 PM Henry Connaught Jr. Simply Red, Fine Young Canibals, Phil Collins, Gary Rafferty to name a few
Distilled1	Date: October 18, 2006 @ 8:28 PM Julliete Lewis but not the licks from the Strange Days soundtrack
Opossum	Date: October 20, 2006 @ 2:36 AM On 17th Oct 2012, leedsquietman said: Agnetha and Frida from ABBA What's really strange is that there is this fairly new software that sings any lyrics you type in. One of the demos sounded exactly like Agnetha, even with that slight accent at the end of some words. I wish I had a link but I forgot what it was called.

Opossum	Date: March 28, 2009 @ 12:18 PM Lately, I discovered great music by Jack "I'm Dracula so ya can't shoot me in this Western" Palance, and another album by Telly "Kojack" Savalas. It's weird, because a few by Telly Savalas go from a really serious, slow baritone into a mid-range quirky pop sound within one breath. Double-take-worthy indeed.
evansorchid	Date: March 28, 2009 @ 6:31 PM The receptionist at work keeps playing this album through the sound system at work. The Best of ABBA. I'm actually kinda enjoying it.
DaveHall	Date: March 28, 2009 @ 6:46 PM Tom Frickin Jones...Dude is still awesome and has power at his age...
DaveHall	Date: March 28, 2009 @ 6:48 PM And Kelly Clarkson is a bad ass... I have no fear in saying that
