Moon Thief Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't know why, but I've always preferred male singers. There are a few female singers that I like, but it's very few. Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Goat Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It really doesn't matter to me, as long as the vocals are decent enough and not terrible. Link to post Share on other sites
sevenseas Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't know whether it's the style, subject matter, or deeper voice, but definitely males. Also, males seem to have "rougher", less "streamlined" voices, which is cool. And the rock/metal scenes are dominated by men. Link to post Share on other sites
Chopper Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Male for the most part but I can listen and enjoy either one Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Really depends on the singer but in general I would say I like female sings better although most of my music has male singers Link to post Share on other sites
Blunderbuss Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Male. I myself sound like a mixture of both, but I actually like male voices better. Some of my favorite artists are women as well, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Salmacis Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Female singers are okay so long as they're not too whiny or Glee-esque *voms* I tend to like female singers with unique voices, like Emilie Autumn, Bjork, Lisa Gerrard and Elizabeth Fraser, but I do prefer male voices - particularly, deep, plangent, mournful ones, like those of Peter Steele (RIP) and Ville Valo. Having said that - (though I don't like his band that much) - Lauri Ylönen of The Rasmus has a beautiful voice. Link to post Share on other sites
Kotoko Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't think I have much of a preference xD Thinking of my most played tracks, it's probably roughly split 50/50. Link to post Share on other sites
R_1 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 As someone that plays instrumental music vast majority of time. I just only liked these music with lyrics. All female singers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrIhQMr1Q10 Have yet to find more desirable music with lyrics. Link to post Share on other sites
SorryNotSorry Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Either one, as long as their voice is good. I can't imagine anyone disliking Julie London's rendition of "Fly Me To The Moon" or Andy Williams' "Where Do I Begin". Probably the only voice I absolutely don't like is Joey Ramone's. I always thought he sounded like a stereotypical high school stoner (and I think his crush, Maria Bartiromo, looks strangely froglike). Link to post Share on other sites
milkbar Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Male singers and females with lower voices: this woman is my favorite singer <3 Link to post Share on other sites
hollowed out feeling Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It depends. My favorite singer is male, but I don't mind female singers. I love Lady Gaga and Adele. What I don't like are female rock bands. I dunno why. I mean, I'm not really into rock bands to begin with, but when they're female I just refuse to listen Link to post Share on other sites
Glaw Scriven Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I guess it has more to do with mood, and style of music, as well as whether or not the singer's voice is pleasant to the ear, male or female. I certainly haven't found any male singers who have songs like Vienna Teng's Recessional, for when I've hit a spell of depressed mood. I also don't think there are as many female singers that can pull off a satisfying alto-tenor range belt. and of course, there are both male and female voices that I can't stand after a while, because they actually give me a headache. It really depends. Link to post Share on other sites

hgycta Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have a really weird taste in music, I love listening to guys with high pitches xP Sleeping with Sirens<333 And I don't know if you could consider his voice high anymore but I've always been a fan of Never Shout Never :3 Link to post Share on other sites
Nymira Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I hit "Doesn't matter" but for me, it all depends on the song. Link to post Share on other sites
SquirrelCat Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 When lookin at my collection I see a distinct pattern of Male vocals. I prefer metall and most metal singers are male, but I do on occasion like to listen to male sopranos and they're amazing. I usually don't like female voices or rather the way females preform they tend to put too much "Sexy" in their voices, but there are good female singer out there too of course.

UraNepu Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 voted for female I have a soft spot for female artists in general I dont know why but I always like female artists more than males Link to post Share on other sites
CateS Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Used to be obsessed with Celine Dion, then went on to Joni Mitchell. Now I like all sorts including the Divine Comedy, Magnetic Fields, Owl City, and I'm currently going through a big Paul Gross phase, but I tend to like songs rather than artists. Doesn't matter really whether they're male or female, as long as they write good songs :D Link to post Share on other sites
Slizzy26 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hopefully this hasn't been asked yet...! Anyway, I like male singers a lot better. Not to say there aren't female singers I like--I think Ofra Haza has an amazing voice, for instance--but I think male voices generally sound considerably more pleasing. Everyone I've talked to about this offline seems to vehemently disagree with me, though :( I think it depends on what kind of music you are listening to. For example, some of my favorite R&B singers/groups are males, though there are some females that I like. When it comes to rap, there are male rappers that I like and female rappers that I like; but I know it's harder for women to break into the "Rap game" so I probably have more favorite male rappers. I have been listening to much underground music lately, predominantly R&B, Rap and some electronica, and most of those artists that I consider favorites are women. So, I think it depends on the music you are talking about. Link to post Share on other sites
maat Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I generally prefer male vocals, irrespective of the genre of music that I'm listening to. I can also appreciate female singers, but most of the time my playlist is dominated by male vocalists. I've noticed the same preference on the rare occasions that I listen to audiobooks. Not sure if there's a correlation here. Link to post Share on other sites
Shinnok Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I prefer Female singers, but I love Male and Femalie singers alike It's just that I love music like Enya and music like that is usually done by women..so yeah Link to post Share on other sites
