I was going to upload some audio evidence of this however I've forgotten how to embed YouTube videos.

What do you think?

I think that Michael Jackson has overtaken Freddie Mercury in NME's Greatest Singers Poll.

Thats from what I can gather looking at the link.

 

[Mellotron]

Michael Jackson was a phenomenal singer, phenomenal dancer and phenomenal writer. I think it's fair enough for him to be top.

Freddies days as number 1 were always going to be numbered once Jacko carked it.

Dead people are always considered more brilliant once they're a corpse.

It's only meant to be judged on singing though. In that department surely Freddie walked all over Jacko!

Purely from the quality of voice there's no doubt that Freddie was in a different league to the late, squeaky paedo.

 

[Frutos]

In terms of voice, stage presence, personality and charisma, Freddie is miles ahead of Jacko and most others.

IMO the greatest frontman in rock/pop music history.

Also, the latest update has Freddie in the lead again, with an average of 8.75 to Jacko's 8.37

Two of the best performers of all time, wouldn't like to have to put one above the other.

Not really? Jackson had a fantastic range and used his voice in a very, very creative way.

I'd love to have seen him sing 'Barcelona'!
