  Both amazing vocalists and musicians but I think you may be stretching it a bit by calling them 'contemporary'. Are you just wanting comments relating to quality of the artists voice, or are you including musicianship as well?

  I quite like the female half of Sofi Tukker. Her voice quality is so lovely, no vocal acrobatics, just velvet. Ridiculous popcorn music though if you can tolerate that Camille has a creative dynamic range and control eg Money Note. A fabulous kooky Frenchie with a sense of humour

  George Michael, Frank Sinatra, Mariah Carey, John Farhnam, Delta Goodrem, Whitney Houston and Freddie Mercury. They're not all my favourites, but they all have exceptional vocal range and talent.

  So FB must be reading what I type as I open it today to this post: On April 19, 2016, scientists confirmed that Freddie Mercury had one of the most extraordinary voices ever. A team of researchers from Austria, the Czech Republic and Sweden dedicated their research to the voice of Freddie Mercury. Dr. Christian Herbst of the University of Vienna, in his article published in the journal Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology, wrote: "The emergence of subharmonics helps create the impression of a vocal system pushed to its limits, used with extreme mastery. These characteristics, combined with a fast and irregular vibrato, may have contributed to creating Freddie Mercury's eccentric and theatrical character ." Scientists discovered that Freddie Mercury's vocal cords moved at a faster speed than others. His vibrato, typically oscillating between 5.4 and 6.9 Hz, reached 7.04 Hz, a frequency so high that it vibrated the throat in a way that not even Pavarotti was able to replicate. Freddie demonstrated a mastery of subharmonics, a singing style only manageable by Tuvan singers, and did so with disarming ease. The conclusion was unequivocal: Freddie Mercury possessed a unique voice in the Rock 'n' Roll panorama, making him one of the most singular artists ever. (A truth we already knew) Unrivalled, unmatched, extraordinary - A Legend!
