I have mistaken White males for having Black voices. Rare, but it happens. It's probably cultural in that Whites try less to "be black" as a whole than Blacks try to "be White". Have you ever heard Eric Clapton sing? I know many people who thought he sounded Black. Same with Michael McDonald.
Haha. This made me laugh. Thank you.
Adele, Robin Thicke, Jon B, the Righteous Brothers, Amy Winehouse, etc. all have or had "rich," soulful voices, but you can tell rather easily that they're not Black. Teddy Pendergrass' voice, on the other hand, is unmistakably Black. As is Al Green's.
Now Emily King brings that real. She sounds Black.
Whatever you say. If you want to be miserable and not use common sense, that's your problem, so go ahead on and keep ranting and raving at someone else. Maybe it's those bird lips that keep you from figuring simple cultural and physical differences out. I guess unless someone like you explains it, you won't listen.
So you tell me I am the miserable one but you are the one using personal attacks like calling me "bird lips".

This is just subjective. What exactly is the difference between a "White" voice and a "Black" voice? I don't think Robin Thicke sounds like any Black singer, though. Or White singer for that matter. He has a very annoying high pitched voice that I wish I could unhear.

It's not really subjective. Robin Thicke and Tank sing in different octaves.
It's not an attack. I'm just saying maybe that's the reason, so get over it.
Ok, no, calling someone bird lips is perfectly a logical way of discussing an issue. Nope, not an attack at all.
I realize you can't actually provide proof for what you believe in. This seems to bother you. It's easy, just head over to Google and do what everyone else does when they can't make any sense.
Tank sings an octave lower than Robin Thicke. Robin Thicke sings an octave lower (sometimes two) than Eric Clapton.
Have you ever had singing lessons? Or played an instrument (that actually required you to read sheet music)?
I don't sing, but I play bass, sax, and guitar. And that matters why?
I fail to see how my personal knowledge of a musical stave is relevant to this thread. What will that change about whether Blacks or Whites sound a certain way?
Do you have ears? Or have you ever used them? This is the kind of question your third sentence asks.
