rincewind Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think Aretha would have kicked ass. She'd come out, sing 'Think', and then give the other girls that pursed lips 'what the **** you going to do now?' look, and they'd all go home crying. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Tom Waits would be killed by Simon.Dylan would too. :laugh: Can you imagine Tom on AI singing Kommienezuspadt or Cemetary Polka? Early Tom would do well, though. He had a nice smooth voice in his lounge days. Dylan seems to be the classic example in discussions like this. I think he would do well. I think the nasally voice became a trademark early in his career so he just stuck with it throughout, but he really developed some pipes. You can hear a trained singer trying to break through on Blood On The Tracks. Listen to Tangled Up in Blue or Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts.

E-Dog Night Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Aretha is exactly what they're looking for. Imagine a 20-year old Queen of Soul coming in and ripping off "This is the House that Jack Built". They'd send everyone else home on the spot. What made you think she'd get booed off the stage?

zoony Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 So Thanos thinks Aretha wouldn't make it, but Sammy Davis would. Not sure about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 How would Morrissey do? I don't think he'd do well, have you seen some of the live Smiths shows on youtube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 How would Morrissey do?I don't think he'd do well, have you seen some of the live Smiths shows on youtube? I was thinking about this the other night on the way home from dinner when the Smiths came on the radio... I have NEVER, I repeat NEVER, understood their appeal. Morrissey has to have the most annoying, whiney, groaning voice in the history of music. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Not picking on you or anything, just wanted to vent. ....

ArmchairRedskin Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think Dylan would be laughed at. A guy who I think would do really well is Scott Weiland. The man can sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 In my best Simon Voice - " It's a singing competition." Just because someone of years past was a famous front man, or famous as a singer doesnt mean they are great singers. Sometimes it is completely the opposite. They critique more than singing of course, because they are looking for a big star, the total package if you will. But guys like Dylan and Jagger certainly dont fit that mold. Eminem is one of the most successful Rap artists of all time, he certainly doesnt fit into a mold of typical/former rap artists either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It would be funny to see James Hetfield circa 1985 go on there. How about Brian Johnson from ACDC? He wouldn't have made the 1st cuts... Lemmy Kilmeister from Motorhead...whoa, the scariest nightmare for those judges. Hmm how about Ozzy? I could see it now: Pretentious **** british guy: "I'm sorry, are you retarded or something? I can't tell if you have a full brain there...what? No you can't have a teleprompter, who the hell needs a teleprompter to remember the words to a song???"

Mufumonk Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Maynard or Buckley...........Paula would throw her panties on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 A young Rob Halford wins the whole thing, easy. Check out "Last Rose of Summer" is you doubt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's kind of hard to say being that the judges(and the public) use the above mentioned legends as a base on which to judge on. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostic Hog Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Imagine Ozzy, in a drug induced, drunken stupor running out on stage to audition. LMAO !!! His long hair and tattoos would have freaked Paula out !! And in his best Brit voice, he'd tell Simon to **** off !! Ozzy rules ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'd have to disagree here. Clapton is a guy who got by on having passion and attitude with his voice. Without his guitar playing, no one would ever make him a lead singer. :laugh: I like Clapton's voice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I think what is funny is that they do rock star nights and sometimes for rock stars that they would have booted. For example, I like Billy Joel, but I don't think he'd have gone that far in this competition. Pretty limited voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
