Male vs female singing voices

about 7 years

This is a really interesting question that I always ask people because they usually tend to have a preference for either male or female singing voices. I am keen to know the reasons why, as in my experience they don't always align with (what one may assume at the beginning) sexual attraction.

Whose singing voices do you like more?

there are female vocalists that sound unique like janis joplin, björk, or joanna newsom, but i agree with what you're saying mostly

plus the vocal range is undeniably better.....theres a lot of crossover but bass is relaxing and no one wants to hear shrill

i tend to prefer male vocalists because it's easier for me to hit the notes and/or mimic the style and i love to sing and also i am a Peter Pumper

There's been a misunderstanding here familia, I wasn't poking fun at verum. The topic is male vs female, I was just asking which one so we can appropriately tally the score.

um im actually more curious as to why female cos it's a general thing that female vocalists are just more popular in general with music. it makes me think of the thing with people subconsciously paying more attention when a man is doing a presentation/lecturing than a woman supposedly due to their voice. but also no preference here, just gimme a good song. although that being said i do have more female artists in my music library.
