No Sam Cooke is appalling.

Her vocal quality has declined over the years, unfortunately.

Prince's -- not as much.

on a technical level, he’s the most flawed vocalist in the top 10 but i guess they found how expressiveness to make up for that (?)

What do you mean.

Not like us

Shoving Beyoncé up there just because they’d cry if she wasn’t

"Second in endurance only to his influence, Prince's vocal approach, though based in pop, featured much edgier sounds compared to your usually squeaky clean R&B crooner. All the way from heavy, warm low notes to his signature soaring falsetto, also frequently going for throaty distortion and experimenting with raw whistle sounds on top, Prince had all the range of a freakishly technical powerhouse while not losing a shred of the visceral emotion he poured onto every track. Despite not having much of a belting register to speak of, if you wanted to describe Prince's vocals as 'making the best of what he had,' you'd have to say he had a lot.

With all of these factors in mind, the core of Prince's vocal approach was undoubtedly passion: passion for religion, sex, and art that he compounded with an ambitious yet rough-around-the-edges take on his vocal range. Prince's flaws complementing the bigger picture as opposed to staining it, his technical prowess served only as a tool to express the emotions one may lack the voice to uncover. In this sense, it is not hard to see why his artistry resonates with so many people."

powerful
