Not musicians but *performers*
I'd nominate Mick Jagger, Prince, Tina Turner, Taylor Swift (even though I find her music treacly), Britney Spears in her prime, and maybe Jimi Hendrix. |
Elvis and Michael Jackson come to mind. |
Mick, James Brown, Freddy Mercury |
Louis Armstrong.
Mozart. Scott Joplin. Ella Fitzgerald. Maria Callas |
Cher
Willie Nelson Dolly Parton Bruce Springsteen Elton John |
You mean singers?
Someone slipped in Mozart so I'm putting down Yo-yo Ma. |
Prince, Prince, Prince!!! |
Freddie mercury |
Trey Anastasio/Phish hands down. Same four musicians going on year 43 and writing and recording new songs every year. |
+1 By far. |
Freddie Mercury
Selena Quintanilla - not many live performances given her short life but every single one she gives it her all |
DMX...RIP |
Total package performer?
Without a doubt, Billy Joel. It's not even close |
You all will laugh, but Meatloaf is very high on the list. |
Bruno Mars |
