He starts hummin' a little tune, and it kinda goes like this...
So two years ago I created a mix for a group of my friends entitled "The Voices." It consisted of about 15 songs sung by what I considered to be the sexiest voices of all time.
Well, time changes everything, and I want to update my list. But I need suggestions. I want to know: Who do you think has the sexiest singing voice? Who would you like to hear sing you a lullaby right before you, um, sleep? I want to know! And I promise anyone a copy of the mix when I'm done, just say the word!
Let me get the ball rolling.
Is it really fair to include this guy on this list?
Yeah, I'm not sure it is either. Let's give the other boys a chance, huh?
How about Johnny Lang?
Deep + scratchy + blues and rock = pure sex. "Lie to Me", I think, is his sexiest by far.
I'm going to go ahead and toss out Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. He's got that straining, emotional moan-sing down. "Apologize" showed that, but even better was the band's amazing ballad "Prodigal."
And I think we've gotta include this guy, especially when he sings about exhibitionism:
John Legend, my goodness, the things you can do with those little muscles in your throat...
Of course, my favorite sexy voice ever has to have a place on this list. Cinjun Tate from Remy Zero. His voice was the inspiration for Noah (you know who I'm talking about...)
There are some that have passed the test of time. Elvis, for example, is the undisputed king of sexy voices. George Michael, no matter how screwed up he can be, he's got the gift of a golden voice. Gavin Rossdale, even if he goes completely pop, retains that edgy voice that makes me weak in the knees.
There are a few newcomers to the list, of course. For example, Jesse McCartney. Damn him for growing up and having an amazing falsetto and writing catchy music:
And last but certainly not least, I think we need to reserve a top spot for this year's American Idol, David Cook.
It is always completely unfair when a voice that drips with sex has a face and body to match:
Alright, ladies. Ante up. Whose voice gets your motor running?
