That would be my choice.

I read this anecdote about Roy Orbison where he was opening for the Beatles and they were amazed how much effort they had to put into the show to get the crowd energized and into them and Roy could just meekly stand there not really moving or anything and the entire place would be going nuts and asking for more Roy Orbison and not the Beatles.

Plus you could creep people out with David Lynch vibes.

Oh fo sho. But I prefer his singing/vox as a kid. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chJt4XDaZOc[/youtube]

And the studio version as well [J5 - I'll Be There]
He sings with all his heart, something you cant fake with all the range, technique & flourish in the world.
Mariah Carey's rendition loses the vibe of the Motown jam by slowing down the tempo to showcase her melisma & vibrato range, the modern interpretation of "soulful singing" which I'm not into personally...but the talent of her voice-as-an-instrument is not to be denied.

MJ was the first ever concert I went to, it blew my head clean off! Really couldn't agree more on singing with all the heart, it's something that I feel is very much lacking from music these days. The man could pull off all the vocal technique for real in the flesh, whilst dancing around like a boss. I kind of lost interest in most things post 'History' album. Totally agree the motown era stuff is absolutely magic. The recording qualty of 'Off the Wall' literally astounds me every time I listen you can play that album in any format, on any system and pops the fuck out and carves the groove.

I just listened this through twice THRICE straight. What a voice
