This #%^$@$%^%^ is Singing their FACE off!!!

[Royalan]

I don't care the genre.

I don't care the gender.

I don't care the lyrics.

Post a link to a performance by an artist you like whose vocal performance you would describe as "Singing their FACE off!"

For me, at the moment that category goes to Grace Potter "The Divide":

Honestly I don't usually listen to the band but I really enjoy Fire Woman by The Cult. I think it lends itself to some really impressive style of male vocals that I find cool.(why yes I only got to know the song because Crush 40 covered it, how could you tell?)

I really enjoy Zhou Shen. That he sings so well in a few styles and multiple languages is amazing. His duets are strong too. Does some great covers.
The build up towards the end of this one is so good. Link cause YT embed looks to be wonky.

Also, in a similar spirit to this thread, this video is the same two from above singing the faces off the panel. I enjoy seeing the reactions of them getting blown away. IIRC they are covering a song from one of the panel members.

And then there is weird stuff like this.
https://youtu.be/XHedu3KcPP0 Warning: Concerty flashy lights.
Context: Originally a vocaloid song that parodies traditional story of a warrior saving a princess from a dragon. It uses long meaningless character names and the story is told from different character perspectives so the voice used changes accordingly during this performance. You can yt the same song with English lyrics somewhere probably.

 

[Qvoth]

cool to see another zhou shen fan
i think i 1st found out about him like 2 years ago or something

especially love zhou shen's more traditional chinese feel songs, if you enjoy that genre then zhang bi chen is also a wonderful singer
zhou shen and zhang bi chen are the OST king and queen of china atm

lay lady lay is bottom tier of uncle Al going off. Both psalm 69 and Moral Hygiene, have more Jourgensen than anything on Filth Pig, it's actually a disappointing album.

Royalan if you actually want to hear AL go off and what I know of you check out his other band The Revolting Cocks version of Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy off Finger licking Good. Thank me later.

It's been doing the rounds on youtube last year I think. Youtube pushed it on me relentlessly for a good while.
I admire the willingness to sing in a language you don't speak or understand, but the mangled french keeps me from appreciating the awesome performance. I much prefer the original from Daniel Balavoine.

A little comparison. KISS' Paul Stanley singing Strutter. The de-facto standard is from KISS Alive! 1976:

But here, he went somewhere completely different. I love it. Only time it seems he went all out and I love it! Donnington 1988:
