Does it matter to you what a singer's gender is?

I generally prefer a woman's voice, but I like both.

Everyones voice varys so much, that it doesnt even matter what gender they are. You'll either like them, or not. But you know who should team up and make a band, Randy Newman and Prince, the artist formaly known as. *insert symbol* whatever it is.

I don't TRY to like only male vocalists, but I can only think of like...three female vocalists I can stand. Oh my.

On another note...That guy singing "A Whole New World" that CK posted...He really gives it doesn't he? lol. He is pretty good though. Kind of, well odd.

Depends on the song.

Would you prefer a song about loving a man be sung by a woman or man?

I know a few people have mentioned it already But Maynard James Keenan is an amazing vocalist, he has a great range plus he's got a good sense of humor which is always nice.

And no, that doesn't make you sexist. It's a ****ing preference.

I'm into Metal. So Females are a big nono. Unless they can growl or something which few do correctly.

YES! I like how they touch it up and make it sound like there are two of him too.. See 10,000 days. My favorite singer.

Have you seen push it live?

If it's a f@got I won't like it. If it's a girl, there's a 96% chance I won't like it either.

Unless you plan on having sex with the singer, why does his sexuality matter? Just curious.

...tokio hotel's singer is a guy? *coughtrannycough* jk.

anyway, like I've said about many bands that people love only for the main singer, it doesn't matter WHO is singing it, as long as it sounds decent.

(I have to say that a lot because there are like legions of people around me in rl who are obsessed with Taylor Swift and think her music is the best just because she's hot. I can't stand her music, so I'm not. I get laughed at a lot now... XD)

I think Tokio Hotel's singer looks like a boy, but he definitely has a very feminine style. I can understand why one might be confused at first. Though, after seeing a few pictures, the lack of breasts might make you curious.

I'm with the other metal-heads on this one. There are very few female voices I can stand. The lead singer of Arch Enemy is cool, but I heard she messed up her vocals from growling incorrectly. :(

No but it's ironic I have interesting preferences though.. For guys I like their voices to be high and almost little girl sounding

like the lead singer of Mars Volta... or Freddie Mercury (singer for Queen)... John Lennon... etc

For girls I prefer a strong powerful voice with lots of presence.. hard to describe in words, something like Ann Wilson.

Not to get on you, but a lot of bands do that =)
Well, he is my favorite singer because he sings my favorite songs =]. I just like the effect.

And his live stuff is good too, although im sure I am only getting a small portion of what it really is via guy with camcorder.

It doesn't matter to me at all. I like more bands that have male singers, but that's just a result of me liking their music, as well as because there are more rock bands with male singers than there are with female singers. Still, I really like some female led bands, such as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Women voices tend to be more pop orientated while male voices make better rock artist. I tend to listen to the latter because pop songs all sound the same to me now in this day and age. Music has become too repetitive to me.
