Best MALE SINGER of Popular Music in the past 30 Years ?
And try your hardest not to judge whether you like the person or the person's music. FOCUS ON PURE SINGING/VOCAL ABILITY

My votes goto

Art Garfunkel and George Michael

Prince, George Michael and Freddie Mercury would definitely be my top three. Hard to choose one of them to be best, though.

Paul McCartney. His versatility from ballad to rocker along with his unique sound.

Either Midge Ure (Ultravox, solo) or Morten Harket (a-ha).

Anyone that has heard either of them belt one out wouldn't be voting for someone else.

That'd be my vote, too. The man can do it all, from ballads to hard rock, a whisper to a scream - and make it all sound good.

The late Michael Hutchence would probably be my second choice, for mostly the same reasons.
