Hey, that rhymed. I think.
God yea how could we forget him?
Did anyone see "Beyond the Sea"? I thought Kevin Spacey would be too old for the part, but I really enjoyed his performance. There's also an episode of Night Gallery with Bobby Darin, and you can hear how tough it is for him to breathe. Sad.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

Greatest singers for me are Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, The Beatles, Phil Collins and Michael Bolton. I think all of them are legendary when it comes to this field.

Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Bono Vox, Elvis Presley, Jon Anderson (lead singer of the rock band Yes), Christina Aguilera.

Also, I really like Avril Lavigne's voice. It's unconventional, and has a sort of cool vibe to it.
