Male vs Female Vocals?

[Levy]

I'm just curious, do you prefer female or male vocals? Or are you indifferent?
I'm obsessed with female vocals.

[Mortal Coil]

I love both, but prefer female (definitely depends on the situation though. But I mean, have you ever heard of a successful symphonic metal band with a male vocalist?)

[Desuetude]

I really dislike female Rock singers. Male vocals sound a lot better in my opinion. I also prefer male choir singers (although it's not like I listen to them often :P)

[Professional Russian]

Yeah i like Male Vocals better. Freddie Mercury, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney are all fucking amazing singers

[Empty Spaces]

Doesn't matter to me. I think there are male and female vocals who are really good, and it's really hard for me to choose. But to be honest, when it comes to rock music i listen to male vocals mostly.

[Erasmus]

I really don't care... if the singer is good, they can both sound amazing.

[Dimitri]

I do not care...as long as you have the talent and are not auto-tuned..then yes, I appreciate your music.

[OregonStateDude]

I really don't care either way. I like this band called The Go-Go's, and they are all female.

[Breakeven]

it doesnt matter but i like male vocals more!

[Stacey.]

I prefer female vocals ~in general~

[bwl17]

i like both. I like male vocals a little better just cos they are easier to sing with! but i am indiffrent

[Bath]

I like listening to male vocals more. I can't think of any specific reason other than I like guys in general more than girls, but I dunno if that correlates. Maybe.

Anyway yeah I don't dislike all girl singers but my music library is a majority of guy voices.

[Syvelocin]

It's all about what they bring to the table. I need something different from them. As long as they're not run-of-the-mill singers, I'm happy. I like a lot of voices, both male and female. However, the chances of me liking an artist/group are a tiny bit higher for female vocals. But if she sounds like Taylor Swift or something, absolutely no chance.

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

I go both. :) For female... I like Amy Lee and Lacey from Flyleaf and for male Im gonna go with Kurt Cobain and Scott Stapp and Eddie Vedder!

[Fractured Silhouette]

I love both, but prefer female (definitely depends on the situation though. But I mean, have you ever heard of a successful symphonic metal band with a male vocalist?)

Kamelot is an awesome symphonic metal band, with a male vocalist.

[Rootin]

You can't go wrong with a good liquid Dubstep song with a female vocalist.

[Kitty Purry]

It doesn't really matter to me. But I listen to a lot more females. So I guess i prefer them.

[World Eater]

I'm indifferent.

[josh93]

Dosnt really matter

[DamoMac]

If the lyrics and music they sing is meaningful, than the singer would not bother me being either male or female.

[Fiction]

I was toying with putting female vocals or doesn't matter and ended with doesn't matter :p

The reason being I love love love bands like Flyleaf (female vocals) cause her voice is just amazing and fits so well with what they play, but other bands wouldn't work at all. There's alot more you can do with a male voice. But that doesn't mean a female voice can be any less engaging. If I like the music, I like the music. And i'll like it regardless of whose singing (as long as they're good of course).

And this comes from a female vocalist in a band :P

[FullyAlive]

I prefer male vocalists, I listen to female vocalists too but my music library has a considerable amount more male vocalists than female. I just don't really like many female fronted bands apart from a few exceptions.

[Carlsen]

.
I like lead singer Mikael Akerfeldt and Alexi Laiho. Tarja Turunen she is good girl singer.

[Simon.]

Female sounds more fabulous for me!

[tHe_Jester1080]

I like male voices mostly but I like to listen to country and the girls and their "twang" southern accents is a turn on for me and I think its hot and sexy lol

[Jupiter]

i prefer males who can sing in the very high range like the choir libera.

[Allanon]

i like female better

[rockNroll]

It doesn't matter for me. In rock and metal music there are of course way more male-fronted bands than there are female-fronted. So of course most of my favorite bands have male singers. However, some good rock/metal bands with female singers are Halestorm, Evanescence, Flyleaf, In This Moment, Paramore and Kittie.

Lacey quit!!

[dusman77]

Depends on genre and skill

[Halcyon]

I voted male but I prefer female. It might just be that good male singers are less common nowadays but it seems to me female voices are overall more soulful and powerful.

[deadpie]

I seriously think that if more female vocalists exist and used words like, "Fuck, cunt, dick, poop" the world would be a better place.

There's something appealing to this stuff.

[Hypers]

I like female vocals. Girls can get higher notes and sound smoother.

[The Mechanan]

Really depends on the music. There are songs in which only guys sound good and ones where only women sound good. Then there are cases where you can't rely it on man/women, because the song only sounds good with the vocals of that specific single. I'd find it hard to imagine any one else trying to substitute David Draiman in any of Disturbeds songs. So the song dictates which sounds best in my opinion.

Girls can hit epic low notes and growl pretty cool too

[Jalinta]

I guess it really depends on what song is being sung and also what the genre is, but just in general I'd have to say I prefer male vocals :)

[Ctnc920]

Female singers are awesome

[chiliguy]

Female! By far! Amy Lee, Tarja Turunen, Simone Simons, Christina Aguilera... I get goosebumps every time I listen to their voices... Males are good too, but I prefer females ;)

[Ryhanna]

I'm indifferent. If I like a voice, I like it, regardless of whether it's a male or female voice. :)

[Human]

It depends what genre really and what type

[Antagonist]

I love both, but prefer female (definitely depends on the situation though. But I mean, have you ever heard of a successful symphonic metal band with a male vocalist?)

Dimmu Borgir is very successful.

[Mortal Coil]

Dimmu Borgir is very successful.

Hush you :P

[Antagonist]

Hush you :P

Aha c: got you.

[PinkFloyd]

Well im a huge Eminem fan but thats not singing. (There are a few songs where he actualy sings and it's not bad.)

But then you also have Very tallented people like Adele, sia, and even Lady Gaga though im not a fan...

[LitBlackRose]

It really doesn't matter to me. The music I listen to like rock are mostly male but things like v-pop and j-rock most are girls. As long as the music is good and the lyrics have a good meaning to them

[Texas warrior]

Most of what I lesson to has male vocals, but I don't really care one way or the other.

[RedViper]

Well my three favourite vocalists are females, (Maria Brink, Anette Olzen and Floor Jansen), but I don't really have a preference to either sex

[workingatperfect]

I guess it depends on the genre. I love stuff like Avril Lavigne, Pink, Adele, Alicia Keys. But, I don't really care for rock bands with female singers. Overall, I think I prefer to hear a guy's voice.

[Backflipboy]

Personally I prefer the timbre of female singers however male singers have a lot more versatility in my opinion. They have a huge range thanks to falsetto and an ability to change their tone into several different types. However, I still prefer female vocals!

[meow2122]

i picked female but in the end it doesnt matter there all good

[abp1999]

It depends on the voice. There are a lot of good female and male vocalists. I can't say either is better. Both have good and bad ones.

[Past_Lives]

male just sounds better

[LiamC]

I much much much prefer female singers, obviously there are male singers I love as well as female singers I love, and female singers I hate as well as male singers, but the bulk of my music is female.

[Mysterious Skin]

male artists are so boring. It's constantly the same thing. I love this girl, or i love this girl and lost her. This is why i hate Bruno Mars/Justin Bieber/One Direction

[Jakejjj]

Both of them are great as long as they can sing

[CharlieHorse]

I'm just curious, do you prefer female or male vocals? Or are you indifferent?
I'm obsessed with female vocals.

Me too

[Lost in the Echo]

Both can be good.
I probably prefer male vocals though, because i'm into heavy metal/heavy rock music, and there aren't a ton of female vocalist in that kind of music.
Some good ones though are Hayley Williams, Lacey Sturm and Amy Lee.

But yeah, I prefer male vocals because of the heavy music i'm into.

[tubanic]

I generally prefer male. But then again I like loud angry rock and girls can't really sing like that :/
