Arguably the three top vocalist in their respective genre. So who is the best?

jonny craig sings with so much power and makes it seem effortless. he gets my vote. i really like craig owens's voice, particularly in cinematic sunrise, but his solo ep was nowhere near as good as jonny's solo album. i really didn't like anthony's voice before the new circa survive album, but it was bearable on that record. i still don't think it's as good as everyone raves about, though, and still like cove better in saosin.

Yeah well I've heard people say that Jonny's AND Craig's voice are overrated as well....though I don't think any of them are overrated. I think they are all pretty fantastic, but I have to go with the legend, Jonny Craig haha

I actually don't like Jonny Craig's voice at all, not even taking into account his alleged douchiness. I was never too into Craig Owens either but I love how Anthony sounds in Circa so I voted for him.

Anthony Green for sure, although much of my opinion is based on the fact that Johnny Craig is a douche and all of Green's projects are better than Craig's.

I cringe when people say that Owens has a top 3 voice in the genre. Just because his voice is high doesnt mean its great. AG on the other hand is amazing,

bridgeofeldin
06/02/10, 04:48 PM
anthony green. jonny craig's voice is great, but he doesn't really do much with it, if that makes any sense. like he only knows how to sing one way. blue sky noise proved anthony can scream and change his range. as been said, anthony green has the better projects imo

drpepper09
06/02/10, 06:30 PM
More importantly, Dallas Green should be on this poll. Dallas Green is easily one of the best singer in modern music, and the best singer in modern rock and its subgenres.

lol its always these three together when comparing vocalists in the "scene". jonny doesn't have much range, but he has the best sounding voice out of them all. thats why hes my pick

OhNoVandetos
06/03/10, 01:29 AM
i dont know about "best" becasue they all have a great range & pitch but use diffenernt styles and techniques so i think its hard to say best
but i voted for AG because he has by far my favourite discography, saosin work was great, circa is great, sound of animals is great, solo was good and his guest appearces are great

for craig i love all wells that ends well and thats about it and johny i like downtown battle mountain but not becasue of him and i think while he has a great voice he just shows off and after a few songs im bored

Green has the best range, but strictly from a vocal viewpoint, Craig is the superior vocalist. Owens, well he is good, but not on the level of Craig and Green.

love all three though

Stavie Steelo
06/04/10, 12:11 AM
Johny Craig I voted for. Craig I love in his projects except for his solo stuff I don't like at all. Anthony i like a lot but I like when he screamed in Saosin better.

I agree with you completely. His voice is just high. He has no range otherwise. There are so many other vocalists that sing high like that too. ex:(Jag from A Skylit Drive). His voice just doesn't stand out much to me.

That's exactly what I'm saying though. I think the same is true for Craig Owens. I think both of them just sound very whiny and high pitched. Both voices irk me and neither are very unique in my opinion.

To me his voice is just high. It's just a matter of opinion but to me sounds like every other singer in that "scene" with a high-pitched voice. Sure the dude can sing, but he's overrated. Both Anthony Green and Jonny Craig are leagues above him. By the way, I can name more than just Jag. The singer that was in Of Machines.

Well I wasn't talking about Jag, just Craig. Craig voice is unique and he does have range, just listen to Bulls Make Money..., it may not be on pitch but he still gets up there. When he sings lower it just sounds like it's high because....well it is! but he can get way higher than that.

I like that song and his voice, but still think he's not the best or most unique. Just saying that I'd take the other two over him any day.

06/08/10, 01:37 PM
It goes like this Jonny Craig> Anthony Green> Craig Owens. More people are familiar with Anthony Green so obviously he's going win. Craig Owens is great, not really sure what to say about him...Jonny Craig however has a reputation for being a cocky jerk and is hated quite alot for that. But still, onny Craig is easily the best technical singer out of three and has the most original voice as well as bringing Soul to a scene that's over crowded with whiney high pitched counter tenors. (I.E. Anthony Green, Craig Owens, Vic Fuentes, Jag, etc)

tldr; Jonny Craig is robbed because more people are familiar with Anthony Green, as well as being hated on for his personality instead of his actual singing talent.

summabee
06/08/10, 10:22 PM
I voted for Jonny Craig because I do really think he is the best singer and easiest to listen to. I do think Anthony Green has a great voice but it's so high that a lot of people that aren't into his type of music wouldn't like it. I've heard some say they think it's creepy.

Burn_Burn_Burn
06/08/10, 10:38 PM
I voted Ant, because I've been listening to him the longest and I just love singing along to him.
I could see Jonny eclipsing him soon, esp. with the new album coming out soon.
Craig is a good in-studio vocalist, but live he is so incredibly off-key, he's in another dimension.

anthony is not comparable to these two, he's so many steps ahead of them it's really, really not even funny.


that said, this poll has everything right, minus the handful of fools who voted for owens. jonny's def got talent but his tonality has lost it's spark since he joined emarosa, and his music is getting really boring, solo album and emarosa to be exact. craig on the other hand, isn't even worth my two cents.

06/13/10, 04:23 AM
What are people basing their judgement on? Lyrics? Melody? Technique? Jonny has the best technique out of the three by far, but since dgd ive liked craig and anthony's melodies a lot more. Lyrically, it depends on what you like. Jonny's got the r&b lyrics, I luv you girl etc, that he throws in a blender with some angsty middle school poems that he writes. Craig straight plagiarizes writers that he likes and because of it, the lyrics are pretty good. and anthony is just a weirdo, but that's why we all love ehm, his influences are scattered, and it reflects beautifully through his words even if people dont really understand him. Hard call, but the best flat out singer, not artist, or lyricist, is jonny craig and i don't think that can be disputed by anyone who understands, even if it's just a little, how to sing.
