Well, I have to admit that I have been often watching/listening to this 05 AUG 1984 live performance of "Take Hold of the Flame" by Queensrÿche. Queensrÿche's lead singer for a long time was Geoff Tate, a rather good-looking guy, who had stunning talent as a singer. I got to see Queensrÿche on 15 MAR 1989 when they were the opening act for Metallica. Queensrÿche had just released their epic album "Operation: Mindcrime".

Here is that August 1984 performance. In this video, not only can you see his raw singing talent, but what an excellent showman he is as a lead singer.

Here are the responses (*) of 3 music professionals to it. Notice how they all stop and are blown-away by the "E5" or "E Natural over High C" note. To help you, just before that moment [*], these are the lyrics:

Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom, the flame grows bright.
We are strong, the youth united.
>>>> We are one, the children of the [*] light!

This one by Rebecca Vocal Athlete is rather funny. She's become obsessed with this performance.

There are literally dozens of YouTube videos of reactions to this performance.
Here is a quick video showing lots of people all reacting to that same point in the song:

Here is a list of them that I compiled.

A couple of more songs, both from the 1988 album "Operation: Mindcrime" which illustrate Geoff's talents.

First, "Revolution Calling"

"Eyes of a Stranger"

[abc3643]

Another singer I love is Rob Halford of Judas Priest, who was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

This video of "Freewheel Burning" illustrates his talent for singing incredibly fast lyrics and not blowing it.

Lana Del Rey

"Because it's like L. A been soft ever since Lana came through and crushed the buildings." - Shawn Carter

Nah, but really, I don't listen to any modern music.

Finally! Someone the same size as Dua Lipa. "Our fight will be legendary! 😍"

[Marianna546]

I love Lanaaaa

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Riley Gale of thrash band Power Trip. Unfortunately he passed away before I could ever see them live.

[Emii_Urashima]

KPop singer, Taeyang. He has a solo career and is also a member of the group, Bigbang

[Marianna546]

Kpop is cool

[Emii_Urashima]

I am in Japan and Kpop is really popular here. Most KPop stars know the Japanese language and sing in Japanese when they tour here. I also speak Korean, so it is fun to get both versions of the songs I like. Sometimes, I think the Korean version sounds better.

[Marianna546]

Yeah korean is better but Japanese is such a pretty language i love JAPANNNNN

[Emii_Urashima]

Most people say our language is difficult, but it is much easier than English. Japanese is admittedly more difficult to write, though.

[Marianna546]

Yeah and your country is gorgeous and your culture is just... COOL

[Marianna546]

I want to visit sometime

[Emii_Urashima]

I just saw on NHK, that our government is going to allow 20,000 foreign visitors a month starting in June! We are opening back up!

[Marianna546]

That's cool i will try to convince my mom to visit hehe

[IsoUser]

Just get ready for Super Spreader Events and keep your mom safe.

[HighlyVolatile]

I like Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinger. What a voice coming from teeny woman!

https://www.youtube.com/embed/U6rv5qi8-8s

[HighlyVolatile]

Maybe on a prettier note, Alejandra Ortiz of Minük:
youtu.be/l1eCV8ow3eA

[Marianna546]

oh very interesting

[HighlyVolatile]

... one of the few sopranos I actually like. I usually like voices on the lower pitch working towards alto or tenor. Like Jae Matthews:
https://youtu.be/aL4EMYzazgM

[Marianna546]

I will listen to ittt

[HighlyVolatile]

Oddly I like men's voices for singing more they move up in pitch and women down. It's unusual and interesting to me. So I like Ronnie Dio as another example. I think he might even be alto or mezzo-soprano. He's naturally really high for a guy:
https://youtu.be/93UVkjGbXJA

[MCheetah]

"I like Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinger."

Wow. That's... Interesting...

[HighlyVolatile]

@MCheetah I find it oddly sexy in spite of her looking like a lunatic. It's one of the few times I like a girl looking like a lunatic singing metal covered in tats. But the way I fell in love had a transition first. Maybe I started you with the wrong vid. Try this one! It warms you up to that side.

[HighlyVolatile]

@MCheetah And funny response from pro vocal coach:
https://youtu.be/qWUUrdQfjn8

[MCheetah]

@HighlyVolatile
I actually saw this on YouTube before. But I don't listen to this genre of music, or most music in general. I think a user on GAG, @420Rachel, once posted this Pisces song on here. Anyway, this stuff freaks me out. It's so Satanic, and I'm not even religious.

[HighlyVolatile]

@MCheetah I like it sometimes! If it's satanic, maybe just superficially. Just flesh and bones beneath the surface like with the rest. No one is good enough to portray hell that well.

[drummerdude25]

I’ve been like “super fan” status of Charli XCX since like 2014 lol… she came out with her big hits back then and I just remember feeling like “wow for once, this new pop girl seems cool and has real attitude…” just something different about her, you know?

Then she blew my mind with the Vroom Vroom EP and from there it was all over… That was it for me, she got me good… She’s freaking great. Like icon levels of artistry and charisma, in my mind.

[Whatever2929292]

I really like Carrie Underwood I guess. Walker Hayes has some good new songs out. Tim McGraw. Garth Brooks. Among many others. Alan Jackson.

I really love Kid Rocks music. WE THE PEOPLE is a good one. Aaron Tipin as well

[exitseven]

I would not call it obsessed but I have been listening to this guy. Stephen Fearing from Canada.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

It's a famous opera singer whom I'm somewhat "courting".
I'd say the name, but she's not popular outside my country.

[ibodi]

[IsoUser]

I in general any group during the 80's that actually had Talent like Pink Floyd, AcDc, Black Sabbath, Ozzy's Ozzbourne crew, Genesis, The Rolling Stones, the list goes on and on.

I'm not really obsessed with any singers right now. I guess you could say I like the ones from the group "Little Mix". They're really pretty
