Promoted from being a stub. -- Beland 2 July 2005 04:22 (UTC)

Songstress

The information under this heading, apart from the spelling errors, is wrong; the word can be applied to any woman who sings. At best this definition should be folded into the material above, not given its own section.--Adoorajar 22:19, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Le Bon ? COME ON !

We can do better. How about a picture of Freddie Mercury or Chris Cornell, you know, good singers.

I agree, someone should change Simon LeBon, you can hardly regard him as being one of the great frontmen. --Lemmy Kilmister--

I don't care if he's replaced, but the replacement must be a free image, not a "fair use" image, per WP:FUC. I removed the Lennon pic. --Rob 00:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced with Freddie Mercury. --Lemmy Kilmister 09:43, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Screaming???

What on earth is "hardcore screaming"? There is no link to a hardcore screaming article, and no definition on this page. It should be defined or removed. --Rosencrantz1 18:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No modern singers

This section seems to be devoted to classical singers only, as it leaves out other kinds of music. Someone expand it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orthologist (talkcontribs) 11:46, 24 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Ozzy Osbourne?

He looks a lot like LeAnn Rimes in that picture. What picture/caption is supposed to be there? Agatehawk 17:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Alfred Alexander...

"According to Alfred Alexander (formally a ENT consultant to the home office), "a singer is a person of adequate musicality, who is gifted with a voice of such power and beauty that competent judges can recommend singing as a career". Alexander believes that 1 in 50,000 in the UK possess such gifts, which means in England (800,000 births a year average) 16 people are born with such a voice a year, making 500 "first class voices" active in any particular generation (taken as 30 years) at any one time.[1]"

What does ENT mean? Is this paragraph really relavent/appropriate? It seems kind of random to me. kaiti-sicle 05:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
