Do females prefere male vocals? Let the mahem begin Generally I'm drawn like a moth to a flame when it comes to female vocals and there are too many to mention, but if the male vocals are strong and unusual then that does it for me too. For example, the first time I heard the Tomangoes or Gene Toones I was totally bowled over. Garland Green has a great voice too. Funny as well how I don't like certain artists voices, like I'm not keen on Chuck Jackson especially singing "Girls, Girls, Girls" or anything Luther Vandross does, but I love Roy Hamilton. BTW Garland Green is on his way to you in the post Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Joking apart, a couple of weeks ago I played two sets at a mixed night. Later I noticed that all but two records from the soul set were female vocals and all but three from the R&B set were male vocals. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Baz Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Must say i mainly swing towards the male vocal, how ever theres nothing more pleasing that some girly midtempo or uptempo for that matter. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Think most of my records are by geezers. That said if female vocal was not allowed, would only seem half as good. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Helena Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Males males males. I really like male group harmonies. There are few things worse in the world of soul than hearing squeeky teenage girls singing out of key. The female voices I like tend to be deeper and sound a bit masculine.

Helena Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 fair point regards your preference, but what about patti austin - ive given all my love, teenager when she recorded this, squeeky i dont think soooo No, she sounds like a full-grown woman, but I didn't say all were squeeky! Still would have prefered a male version though. Also, I don't think it's always down to the vocal performance itself. I'd say that generally girls were given a slightly different type of songs to record. The type that was more "easy listening" with innocent lyrics and not so raw and obscure-sounding (like they've recorded it in a garage or something), which I like. I've never been the girlie-girl. There are of course numerous examples of the vice versa, but it's still a tendency I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
