Different strokes for different folks. But which singers come the closest to having something for everyone, and make it difficult to imagine someone actually disliking their voice?

[Steingrim]

That sounds like someone who is fairly contemporary and across several genres. Frank Sinatra's voice is hard to dislike but he's a bit old and ugly - maybe. And there was that Sicilian mafia thing, I read somewhere that they put a couple of elements from that into the Godfather movies. Quite the character, at least it's entertaining. And he sings mostly jazzy evergreens and stuff like that.

Maybe Bono, at least he's still around and more cross-genre. Or Paul McCartney, most of his stuff is of course a bit old.

I've never heard someone dislike Freddie Mercury's voice, he seems like kind of a no brainer for this list

Mariah? I mean, people hate her for diva war reasons, but even these people, if you corner them, would probably admit that Mariah has a great voice, and she pretty much slays in all registers she engages in.

Or Whitney. Then there's the drug problem (which was unheard of in the 60s-70s, lol). Being a show biz superstar is a tough job.

I was gonna say Whitney but she has a blind spot which is her lower register, that's why I feel Mariah is better suited for a thread like this.

George Michael unless you're a homophobe
