she has a good voice, but I think you need to study music some more. Twice the singer as Freddie? You abviously don`t know what youre talking about. Ignorance is bliss

She's still not better than Elvis. Whitney was a great technical sound, but she lacked the raw emotion behind that voice. There was no note she coul not hit, but it was like her voice was programmed by a computer. People like Elvis and Aretha felt the song and let those emotions sing it. People like Whitney, Mariah, and Michael Bolton learned how to sing and then try and sing those emotions. Big difference. For example, Jimi Hendrix was not as technically sound as Yngwie Malmsteen. There are things on the guitar that Yngwie can do that Jimi would probably trip up even attempting. However Jimi played with emotion and let that emotion guide his playing. Yngwie could never duplicate what Jimi did because he doesn't have it inside him.

Overrated. Like a lot of bands you like. If not, all.
I'd go with Mike Patton. He had style, a great technical sound, creativity. The dude could even scream like a grindcore pro, rap with more energy than most rappers and could do so much with his voice.
There are other singers I like quite a lot, though. Lou Reed (Velvet Underground) , Ian Curtis (Joy Division) Thom York(Radiohead), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Maynard James Keenan (Tool/A Perfect Circle), Dez Cadena (Black Flag/DC3), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth). But not because of their technical ability, but their sound. I'm not someone who cares much for technical ability or talent, if it sounds good, it's good. Talent just helps, if needed.
Oh yeah. Another great singer would be Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
