Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Bruce Dickinson, Geoff Tate still have some of the best pipes in Rock, but the one that still amazes me is Ozzie. The guy can barely speak, but put a mic in his hand, and he just belts out this voice as good as ever.
Also, I must add to the list Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons who I saw last week just tear it up in Seattle. My first KISS concert. I've never been a KISS fan, but the opportunity came up and I wanted to see what all the fuss was. Well.. flat out.. best concert I have ever attended. No question... Flawless, amazing... walk out with mouth open... and the only thing that really surprised me was I expected it to be louder and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't... |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Voices really do change over the years, but professional training can minimize the effects of age and allow the singer to compensate in certain areas. Hitting a very hign note versus sustaining that high note is one example. Vibrato control is another. It isn't that big of a concern for pop voicing, but can be very important for a Broadway singer, and career ending for an opera singer. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Joni Mithchell is one whose voice has gotten better.
As for MY singing, well, it was never very good, but Vic is right. I know my limits and can usually work around songs that, a few years ago I wouldn't even bother trying. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Surprised no one mentioned Michael Jackson. I can't think of anyone else who went to such lengths to keep the voice he had as a kid. Wonders of modern medicine were bound to catch up to him. |
