Male vs Female

[_sunshinegirl]

Which do you prefer as the lead singer or do you have a preference?
Do you think that there is some music a girl just 'cannot' sing (or perform)?
Why is this?

_

I listen to more males.
Just because I like rock and there aren't a lot of female christian rockers out there.

_

I want to be one though *tear*.

I don't care who sings-- man or woman-- as long as the singing fits the music. I think there are certainly genres of music where female singers haven't flourished in the past (heavy metal comes to mind), but I would think that those boundaries are being broken down and/or disregarded more these days.
If you want to be one, then be one!

more of my cd are guys than girls...but i think that's just by chance. there are so many girls who have incredible voices as well as guys. i think it's neat how girls are starting to come into heavy metal...do i like that kind of music...not really, but i still think it's great that people are exploring options and new areas in the music field.

I preffer male voices because they seem to be deeper. And I tend to sing pretty low so it works out for me when I want to sing along!

Females have been for the most part more contemperary singers rather than rockers. Granted, there are some good girl rock bands out there, but the majority go for more of a popish sound.

All rock vocals, but when you get a great female rock vocalist, it's brill

 

[Drummergirl4Christ]

I like guy's voices better, because the type of music I listen to sometimes involves screaming, not that girls can't do it like that, but I think guys just do it better. Therefore, if I am the drummer for a band I would want a guy singer.

girl are cool when they sing ...but guys are cute when they sing.

Power to the people! I like to listen to female Christian Rock music and I like singing it also.

I tend to listen to alot of male stuff like Matt Redman, Delirious and DC talk. There doen't seem to be enough female worship leaders out there.

On the other hand I like listening to barlow girl and evanescence. But generally I enjoy listening to male singers.

 

[apple_on_a_tree]

There are many female voices out there to appreciate... Norah Jones, Dido, my friend Julia (does that count?) , but there are also a lot of guy voices I like for example, Geddy Lee off of Rush, Billy Corgan, and Lifehouse's lead singer.

When it comes to metal I feel that no one can hit quite as hard as a dude. Female singers in metal bands , are a musical novelty, and are just too different. Like the chic from the band OTEP is just so strange to hear, that it takes away from the music. Metal is a masculin genre.

 

[AmzabellaFaith]

I understand what you mean about the metal scene, but you never know, one day you might be surprised and a new metal chick might come out and blow your socks off!

 

[NothingButTheBlood]

Talent is talent. There are some types of music males are more suited to but I like people who sing well. Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Etta James and Aretha Franklin not only sing will but I imagine could hold their own with just about any man, any day.

 

[KTskater]

I listen to mostly punk (Christian and secular) and there are a lot of female punk vocalists, you just have to go underground like The Distillers, The Runnaways and The Plazmatics just to name a few. I don't sing in my band at the moment. But I do record my own songs and for female rock vocals you have to just be as obnoxious as you can with out going out of pitch. I also sing and play guitar in my churches band, so I can sing pretty good I guess.
But my all time favorite is...both. I think it sounds awesome when both men and women are singing (like in Sonic Youth)

 

[DeadPoetic]

uhh male, I guess. There aren't many females whoms voice I really like. Just a few.

 

[ahk114007]

males are better rockers, but girls can sing good too.

 

[joasheli]

well for me i like both.. as long as it fits the music being played... i dont care i f thats a guy or a girl singin! as long as it sounds good..

 

[JesusFreak08]

i too prefer male lead singers...

i dont know why..

but i do...

*Not a Christian Band* Otep. The lead singer for Otep is amazing (musicaly). She could contend with a guy.
