80s Glam/Metal Vocal Showdown #20: Ethridge vs Lennox
« on: October 12, 2013, 04:42:54 AM »
Yes, again these are neither glam nor metal, but I had to figure a way to get Annie Lennox into the poll.  Sure, her style and genre wasn't my usual taste, but damn she was talented.  Always liked the bluesy-rock vibe from Ethridge, and thought she had a little bit of sex appeal too (this was before we knew she was a carpet muncher).

Despite the fact I don't like much of her music, I'll take her voice anytime.

Lennox.

Skipping this one but yes, Lennoz was very talented even if I hated her songs.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Yup, no opinion here. Never bothered listening to either. I just don't do pop, no matter how good it may be.

I don't like either, but I can't stand Lennox, so I voted for Ethridge.  She had a couple of good songs.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

I like Ethridge's music better but Lennox is an outstanding singer that can sing many styles of music.

I'm not really a huge fan of either, but Annie Lennox did that song for the Return of the King soundtrack so that gets my vote.
