Bill Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This doesn't necessarily have to be a list where you think she is hitting the highest notes, or sounding the most "in-tune". Sometimes, just the tone of her voice, or the strength, or depth, or tenderness, or emotion can have much more of an impact than singing in a "technically perfect" way. She says this herself. So, anyway, what songs feature your favorite vocals, either in whole or in part? And if it's just a part, which part? Beautiful Killer - on her 2 or 3 most recent albums, especially Hard Candy, her voice at times was almost irritating and nasal - but this song brings back that classic, full Madonna vocal that I fell in love with Papa Don't Preach - "what I need right now is some good advice... PLEEEEEASE!!!" Man, that passion gets me every time. I never get sick of this song. Must have listened to it a thousand times. Love Spent - love it when she sings "I want you to hold me like your hold your money" in the higher key Jump - the deep vocals in the verses are also representative of that classic, untrained Madonna voice Rescue Me - OMG the growl, the rasp, the guttural desperation in her voice You'll See - passion! passion! passion! I'll Remember - "say goodbye to not knowing how to cry, you taught me that..." sooooo tender and beautiful Many more, but I'll give others a chance to list them.

tomwiggz Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I love the way she sings "I feel loooooooooooooooooooooove" in the Future Lovers/I Feel Love mix from The Confessions Tour. I also love her Papa Don't Preach voice! It's almost a little raspy but in a good way. The soft sound in Promise To Try and The Power of Goodbye make them some of my favorites. I think the way she sings in Falling Free is very beautiful as well. Crystal clear, but you can still feel the emotion. Funny because I read that she was sick the day she went in to record that.

Guest Not4Pussies Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Her vocals in both Beautiful Killer and Love Spent are pretty weak, although some of her delivieres in some lyrics sound quite good. Especially on Love Spent. My favorites, Drowned World, Mer Girl, NRM, Inside of Me, Sanctuary, Rescue Me, the end of Till Death Do us Part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There are so many to choose from for different reasons. Always adored her vocals on Inside of me - so sweet, soft and dreamy You'll see - sings that beautifully. I was really annoyed when it was suggested Susan Boyle sang it better - no way Live to tell - beautiful and apparently the vocals we hear are all done in the very first recording. Cherish - Her voice sounds so sweet and clear Borderline - I think she totally nails the emotional turmoil in this song easily. The lyrics are deceptively sad This used to be my playground - just gorgeous Into the Groove - That is how you sing the best dance/pop song ever Don't cry for me Argentina - Really sang the whole Evita soundtrack perfectly Papa don't preach - same reason as everyone has stated. Frozen, the power of goodbye - just stunning There are so many but Madonna is a very under-rated singer. We all know she does not have the big range of some of the other singers out there but her voice conveys so much more emotion than they can. She can sing dance/pop and ballads both incredibly and as well as each other. Very few singers can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkbysix Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lucky star LIVE. (The studio version just does NOT showcase her vocals like the live version) Power of goodbye Crazy for you Ray of light (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) This used to be my playground Like an angel passing through my room (many people have forgotten that she recorded this. Simply STUNNING vocals.> Love dont live here anymore (her passion is unmatched) Like a prayer (the vocals on the bridge, no person who has covered it, even those with big voices have done it justice! And that's saying something) To have and not to hold Don't cry for me Argentina Another suitcase in another hall ID be surprisingly good for you (this is underrated. The male vocalist isn't even needed on this one. Madonna makes it so amazing, stunning vocal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
