Who's the better singer? Personally, I'd go for Roger - he can do so much with his voice: screams like those in ITLOTG, his raspy voice from his rockers, and his sort of normalish voice like in many The Cross songs. He has a great vocal range.
Brian, I think, is one of those fifty/fifty singers. He does some songs, like Sail Away, fantastically, but he fails when it comes to rockers like the Hitman or Headlong.
What do you think?
very tough question :?
i think they both sing beautifuly in their own ways, as you said with Roger, but i think the way Brian sings like in a winters tale, that was beautiful, i thought i actualy was dreaming
but i guess i have to go with Roger as the best singer, since he can do so much more with his voice!
sorry brian, still love you madly! still dress like you
Depends on how you define "singer."
Roger is *definitely* the better singer, *technically* speaking. (Also better than Freddie. Again, I'm speaking in terms of vocal technique).
But his voice and his singing don't move me like Brian's does.
I think Brian is a better singer when it comes to ballads as for Roger does better with powerful songs.
Dunno whenever Roger is doing a ballad for me it's missing some sort of emotion which Brian can bring well.
When Brian is doing a powerful song you wait for the part in the song where he might go off-key.
I know I'm not Zeb (I'm Seb, close enough?), but here are my reasons to agree with such prediction:
* Roger's aged waaaaaaaay more.
* Roger smoked for many years. Now he doesn't, but still, damage is done.
* Weight --> Cholesterol --> Heart Disease.
* Brian's a veggie (yay!).
* Roger used to be much more promiscuous, AFAIK.
So, unless there's some sort of accident or something unpredictable such as cancer, Huntington's or sclerosis, chances are Brian's lasting longer.
