It's a little ironic that most of the "manly" suggestions used so far are for men who haven't really had a hit in years or at the very least aren't on non-oldies stations.

I'd submit Bruce Springsteen as a noble offering of a "manly" voice that speaks to multiple generations and is still musically viable (has a new album out right now). There are several country artists that have a more masculine voice (Trace Adkins comes to mind). Likewise Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam has a very strong manly voice too.

Is it excessive "estrogen synthetic chemical leakage" from plastics given in repeatedly heated baby bottles soon after birth to account for this trend? Of course I'm being facetious, but the trend IS suspect. To that you and I are in complete agreement.

That's all I'm saying...it really is "suspect".

Of course 6,200,000 copies as of December '09 wouldn't be a hit would it? LOL

Again...those are old skoolers.....I'm talkin' about the so-called new talent in R&B or Pop......

Let's face it....country music has never done falsetto with male singers over there......

Well then, I have to agree with your thread title then. Rock, Blues and Country don't have that kind of problem. Then again their clientele or target market isn't really urban, teenage girls. KWS's singer (Noah Hunt) is what I would call "new" and doesn't sound like that at all. Tunes with balls have singers with balls. It's a simple theory with logic and reasoning! LOL

Dude.....females are females.....urban teenage girls swooned to Teddy Pendergrass and Barry White back in the day.....They would still do it if the industry would put such a guy out there.

I don't believe that. This Country tune even proves it. Just when you thought it was all over, someone goes and does something never done before. Make the hardest Country song known to exist. It's like giving the middle finger to the people who make the rules. I love it! Do more buddy!!!!
