Oh, I agree.
But in the last fifteen years, honestly, how many great male pop stars have we had?

Robyn
Those are the big influential ones for me,
Um
Usher? Yeah. And um... Mark Anthony? Yeah! Him, too!
I'm trying to avoid saying JT because I hate him
Who are your favorite male and female singers, without limiting it to pop?
Oh, I agree.

Robyn.
That's tough, because I don't judge male vocals as harshly as I would a woman's.
I think a lot of kids my age who turned into pop loving musicians would tell you Prince and MJ were pretty damned important to them, same goes for me.
I will tell you the male voices that haved moved me: Simply Red, Jeff Buckley, Ben Folds, Frank Sinatra, Steve Perry, Harry Connick Jr., all the dudes in Les Mis, Seal, there's so many..
The Bajan Queen being influential across the 7 seas
First thing of note: You have the less interesting Buckley.
I know, I know. I should really bone up on dad, but it's really hard to find a good period for him. He was kind of all over the place. Help?
Have you read Dream Brother?
Oh, I agree.

Not really a pop star, but I think Chris Martin has a great voice. (please don't post the grammys performance as a retort to this ;_; i'm still in pain from that)
Chris Martin has a great voice.
The only Bajan Queen I'm aware of is a shipwreck. How does a sinking ship influence a pop star of Robyn's caliber?
No joke: I think Justin Bieber has the potential to become the next Justin Timberlake. JB has a nice voice. Could be great for soul, pop and rnb tracks.
But his current music just sucks. Boy sure has potential though.
to be a pop star you have to be known, tbh

Are you sure that's not a joke?
Nope, I'm being serious. There's a pretty good singer underneath the shitty music, annoying fangirls and weird hair.
He just needs time.
I wonder if his popularity will die sometime soon.

A gift from Baby Jesus.

The last time someone brought this up, I asked for examples and they provided clips where he sounded... bad.
Do you have anything demonstrating potential? I wouldn't deny that his tone might have potential, but I don't really see it for him as a vocalist.
I really hate browsing through his shitttacular music.
Buuuutttt...

That's so cute. The stroke faces that he makes)))
Just a few examples I guess. The guy still has a big future. Everything can change, and improve.
And he plays guitar and piano.
LOL why are you posting Mariah? Who can touch her vocals?
But talking about vocals getting worse...Mariah fits the bill.
Lol M. That's not fair at all.
Put up someone like Clay Aiken, or that other fetus that was on american idol, not Godriah. Hell, Jesse McCartney was better than Justin at the same age.

Oh laaaawd....

They learn from their fave.
Yo Second, I got your Back. Her voice and music are certainly more interesting to me than Gaga's or Britney's, but I think that's just a matter of different tastes.
The only way Beiber won't flame out is if he takes a looooong break and emerges as something more like a man, but they will never let him do it and I'm not he sure he'd want to. I know I wouldn't.
Apparently Ke$ha donated her own blood to be used in some sort of limited edition for her next album. Have your faves? But really, they simply could never. Waiting on pins and needles for the first single. The summer will belong to Ke$ha not Rihanna and We Found Love part deux. Praying for all your faves.
On the topic of male singers:
He's not exactly "pop", but Jamie Woon is my favorite,

What do you guys think?
Oh, btw I started listening to Robyn today- couldn't get into much on 'Robyn Is Here' or her self-titled album but I absolutely LOVE 'Body Talk' so far. I like her sound a lot.
