Jeff Buckley will always be my favorite male singer. His High Tenor voice is just unmatched and his speaking voice is so nice. The only male speaking voice I like more was Jordan Blake's voice. My favorite Jeff Buckley song has always been 'Morning Theft' and his cover of 'That's All I Ask' from his Olympia live recording. I think Jonny Craig has to be my second favorite male singer in the last 30 years. Songs like 'Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire', 'Open Your Eyes and Look North', 'Attack of The Dashing Young and Bold', and 'Heads or Tails? Real Or Not?' are great songs that showcase how great his voice was back in the day. His voice during his prime years of 2005-2011 was the closest thing to having the emotion and skill of Jeff Buckley as both were heavily influenced by listening to the black female singers from the 60s.
Jeff doesnt sound like Dance Gavin Dance in a million.. Jeff is a mixture of Robert Plant, Tim Buckley, John Elton and Strvie Wonder. Even MSMS doesn't sound like DGD
@@owenhunt I never said he sounds like Jeff Buckley. I said they both have soulful female black singers from the 60s voices. Jeff Buckley was a high tenor and Jonny Craig was a light mid-tenor. Jeff Buckley constantly sang in the upper 5th octave while Jonny Craig during his prime mostly sang in the upper fourth and lower fifth octave. I’m just saying they were the most talented soulful singers in the last 30 years.
@@soysaucehairdye7869 Jeff always sang in the 5th octave with vibrato whereas wouldn't DGD songs almost always be sung in a steady cadence? Most of Craig's singing style would be somewhere between a treble and a falsetto, would it not? Jeff definitely did falsetto and that might be where the overtures between Craig and Buckley arrive. I could imagine Craig singing 'Vancouver' or 'I Know we Could be so Happy'. I could not imagine him singing 'Forget Her' or 'Lilac Wine'. Do you see deeper comparisons?
@@owenhunt IMHO, Jeff Buckley's light notes to me have always been light head voice notes like a female mezzo soprano such as Dolores O'Riordan would sing and not what you and I would consider falsetto. His 'falsetto' notes were usually fully connected to the rest of his voice. A good example is the ending of the album version of 'Eternal Life' where he starts with a very light D5 and then adds vibrato and more chest voice as he sustains the note to give a chesty D5. A good example of his falsetto would be the D#6 he sings in 'Gunshot Glitter.' I do consider Jeff Buckley likely to be a leggiero tenor given how he sang 'Dido's Lament' and just the color of his voice overall. I definitely think Jeff Buckley had a much better and unique voice than Jonny Craig (like a truly once in a lifetime voice), but they just happen to be my two favorite singers in the last 30 years. The closest male singer to sounding like Jeff Buckley would have probably been Jimmy Gnecco from the band, Ours. He was more of a baritenor though with a deeper voice, but his falsetto notes often would get compared to Jeff Buckley's lighter notes. He was friends with Jeff for a few years before Jeff died. The ending to the song 'Fallen Souls' is kind of a good example of why people would compare him to Jeff even though he had a much lower voice than Jeff.
@@soysaucehairdye7869 Gunshot Glitter is definitely a prime example of Jeff doing true falsetto, I agree. In fact, the song is known amongst JB fans as him actually entering the register fully. I think he plays with falsetto a lot though. As you mentioned his falsetto was normally deeply connected to his chest voice. I think Eternal Life is an interesting song as I am not sure which notes he uses falsetto. Can you tell me which lines he adopts falsetto? I never think of Grace as an album where Jeff entered falsetto, in truth. Do you think Jeff used the register in some of the transitional notes in both Mojo Pin and Dream Brother? I need to listen to more Jimmy Gnecco as I haven't tried him for a while. I also didn't think he was old enough to have met Jeff in the 90s. I mostly use Radiohead and Tim Buckley to fulfill my thirst for whooping Buckley notes. I know Jeff loved The Smiths and I think there is some falsetto in his cover of both I Know its Over and The Boy with the Thorn in his Side covers. Morrissey used falsetto to dazzling effect in an early The Smiths glam rock jangle called 'Miserable Lie'. Unlike Jeff, I think Morrissey's voice is limited enough that he probably didn't connect the head voice with his chest voice. I actually wonder if Jeff helped usher in the register as viable for popular music with his contributions? I cannot remember in the 90s people releasing popular music in falsetto. I know Smokey Robinson achieved it in 'Ooh Ooh Baby', 'Tears of a Clown' and 'Ebony Eyes' with Rick James, but since then the likes of Sam Smith have released mega hits in the register i.e. 'I'm not the only One' and 'Too good at Goodbyes'. Childish Gambino licks a mean falsetto in 'Redbone' and Matt Bellamy of Muse hits falsetto on the regular for Muse. Before that, I swear only Motown and disco singers would use the mode. 'Don't Stop til' you Get Enough' and 'Night Fever' must be obvious examples. Do you think Jeff was an early proponent of falsetto revival?
@@sotoramirezlazaro3320 exactly!! mine too! there is something so kindred about the two of them that i can’t quite put my finger on. one of these days ill figure it out
