What are the vocal moments that made you go "huh, I never thought of them as much of a singer, but that was impressive"?

Blaze Bayley had completely lost his ability to scream by the time he joined Iron Maiden, yet somehow managed this visceral Bb5 10 years later:

In general, I think Blaze is in better singing shape now than he was with Maiden. In many ways, that was unfortunately maybe the weakest era of his voice, having lost his screaming chops from his younger days, but before he refined his singing this side of the millennium. It would be interesting to hear him guest on a Maiden track again.

Isn't that the crowd? It sounds like Blaze opens his mouth and starts talking while the Bb5 is still going.

I am not sure what you're talking about, he goes "Yahhhhhhhoooooo-alright" in one breath. At no point is he talking while the scream occurs.

forgot i didn't put this here but andrew falkous, who is known for his style of melodic-noise-shouting used across most of his discography (and c♯5 abuse in the cases of live performances) releasing sudden go go gadget belting power is something i'll never get tired of replaying

I mean, I still don't think of him as much of a singer (post 1989 anyway) but this is pretty awesome

This guy's songs are comedy gold, but his vocals never really shone through that much. Had no idea he could pull that off.



Also the Internet's most famous bass-baritone singing soprano while simultaneously disassociating from reality at the same time is a whole aesthetic

Hey you remember that music video from like 2008 where the guys run on treadmills? Well here's the lead singer of that band doing an INSANE distorted scream up to, what I think, is the sixth octave.

Melody doesn't do anything even remotely like this in the studio, ever. First time I heard this I felt hoodwinked and bamboozled.
