You are seeing more and more musical "artists" running their voice through Auto-Tune and other digital enhancements, my question is, are there any mainstream musical acts anymore that can actually sing? You can go to a concert now and a lot of them are either enhancing their voice or they are using the recording and just moving their lips, pretending to sing. Is real musical ability dying?
Is real musical ability dying? Oh my I hope not. I have been admiring some musical artists today, not just with their voice but because of how their songs were written and their style, of how they package themselves so they click to the public. I guess these impression was born out of us being expose more and more to technology, and we can't deny that almost everything is possible now. It is just like photography- nowadays a lot of editing application are available to enhance the picture so we sometimes get confused if it's still the real deal or something that has been edited, modified, altered etc etc. Even in writing, I have encountered application that can compose and re-write a new article. I hope innate talent won't die. Real is still beautiful.

Oh man, Chris Cornell is a legend. Speaking of Seattle bands, I think William DuVall, the new vocalist for Alice in Chains, is really good. He's definitely proof that there are still great vocalists in mainstream rock bands.

That voice is unmistakable and very-very cool. Here is another one!
led zeppelin and the beatles have the biggest following.the doors and hendrix are also big.think about it. how many kids go into a guitar store and say they want to play like john mayer? they say they want to play like hendrix/page/beck/clapton. well at least the kids with good taste.
I play guitar and drums, so I spend a fair amount of time in music stores. I can't remember ever hearing a young person play anything other than metal. Once I heard a kid playing AC/DC (extremely well, by the way...so well that his parents bought him a Les Paul Custom and a Marshall half-stack on the spot). Unfortunately, I've never heard a Page/Hendrix/Beck/Clapton riff coming from a kid in a music store.
I don't know John Mayer's music, so I don't know who plays that stuff.

hi kentucky dad,
i have been listening to a guy named mike mattison for a while now. i don't know if he is mainstream enough for your taste, but i like the way he sings.
Matt Bellamy(MUSE) is known for his use of falsetto and vibrato. His vocal range spans from an A2 to B♭4 and to A5with falsetto.
Now thats a great singer. Amazing Band Live. (and not live also)
