for me, matt bellamy from muse. he use it so awesomely that it can fit in almost all kind of music, rock or classical, u name it.

can i say...Gary Cao of Malaysia...

must watch the video where he's competing with other contestants on who can reach the highest note (singing Jacky Cheung song) and also the ultimate blown away performance of Frank Sinatra's My Way (his own voice is super high falsetto, not when he imitated Frank's voice)

Barry Gibb of Bee Gees, pawns all

It seems like there're still a lot of singer who expert in falsetto and didn't included, i only include the current & pop singer, since I can't edit the poll anymore, why don't just pick the better one among these 5 singers?

agreed. His voice is legendary, it's very distinctive.
there's this song Mika - lolipop also have nice falsetto voice

Bee Gees is the greatest of all....

i think he used falsetto full length in almost every of his songs....

How bout James Blunt? Does his voice fall in the same category?

i vote barry gibb n mika

man none of those guys in the vote is close to falsetto

the only person i know who is really good at falsetto is none other then the british band Coldplay lead singer pianist and occasional rhythm guitarist "Chris Martin"!

always will be my No 1 Choice. The guy who made falsetto cool!! AH AH AH staying aliveeeeeeeeee

Brett Anderson from Suede !

Among the ones listed above, Darren Hayes has the least shrieking voice so he gets my vote. Falsetto should be high pitched yet not glass-shattering/eardrum piercing/hellbent annoying

No one mentioned David Tao?

vitas! haha there was one who entered world book of record forgot his name

Freddie Mercury

Jonas Bjerre from Mew, anyone?

Craig Owens from Chiodos

matt bellamy from Muse

matt bellamy,chris martin,mika

whatabout xtreme - more than words???

anyone here agrees with me for chris martin from the british band coldplay? falsetto?

Not really, I think Ryan Tedder is better.

Ryan Tedder can do high pitch! LONG ONE and why everybody vote justin T? he doesn't good in falsetto at all. he just a famous person thats all!

From the poll, Shayne Ward has the better falsetto IMO.

In Chinese music industry, he leads the falsetto category.

definitely shayne ward..

shayne ward was good oso, nice voice.

chris martin yo!

haha omg thanks for coming into this thread and giving out your answer "chris martin" and love the yo part too lol

yeah ive been waiting for some to say chris martin cause i think he has the best falsetto among the other artist that are on the poll

so your the second person in here that said chris martin after me hehe

matt bellamy > chris martin

the new album is great though.

We'd agree to disagree.......again!

Martin FTW!

rofl. you dont like the new album then?

I meant disagreeing on Bellamy > Martin. Martin has the voice, the band and the lady

rick price - heaven knows?? can ar?

Bellamy > Martin
Muse > Coldplay

but that deserves another thread.

werent you the one who said you didnt like paltrow?

aiyah i also dunno who that guy is but just join in the fun la and vote for chris martin lol

I didn't and don't like her but Hollywood considers her hot so.....and I'll be damned if Bellamy can top Palthrow.

I dont give a shit if bellamy ends up with together with his bassist as long as they continue to give us more albums. I dont liek comparing muse, coldplay and radiohead anyway. they all have their own distinct sound.

the new album is quite amazing seriously. brian eno should produce all their albums from now on.

Haven't had time to listen to many of the other six songs. Have been on Life in Technicolor, Violet Hill, Lost and Viva La Vida. Will give the rest of the album a proper go when I get tired of the four songs (that is if I get tired )

How did Bellamy and Martin's name got mention in a pop thread? Martin I can understand but Bellamy

Anyway, Bellamy does have the best falsetto, only Thom Yorke and Jon Por Birgisson from Sigur Ros to rival him.

That's certainly out of prejudice, it's so cool to despise boy band.
Have you even heard him sing before.
I'm not a fans but his vocal and falsetton does amaze me in many occasions.


In recent chinese pop music industry you meant.
He is not even 30% of Lin Zhi Xuan, 50% of Panda Xiong Tian Ping.
And not to forget the Powerstation duo, Qi Qin, Zhang Yu.
