Yes with a Female Vocalist?

[luvyesmusic]

Absolutely not. Ridiculous. By no means what so ever does he have a femine voice!!!! Not at All ever !!! Come on man that is ridiculous

I am talking about the general public, most really not into music, period. I have tried to introduce YES music to many people. At least 20-30 did indeed think it was a woman singing. I can't believe you have never heard that before. Hell, even Kitaro hired Anderson to sing "female parts" in his music.

True confession...when I first heard Your Move/All Good People as a lad, I thought the singer was female. After hearing Roundabout, and connecting the dots, I realized that the vocals were from a very unique male. I think a female vocalist could work for Yes, but am fine with Davison as long as he wants the job.

JA - absolutely not!!!

JD - I can see the comparison.

I’m holding the line here.

For my generation at least. Come on.

Anyone on my side. No one. No one ever thought JA to be a female. Nobody. Am I going crazy here. This is not a debate.

A new female vocalist is a fun discussion.

But no way is JA ever considered in that realm. Me talking. And me full of super bowl watching jim Beam watching too. Can’t be alone

When I was a teenager getting into Yes, I remember my mom saying that the singer of that group sounded like he had no balls.

[Gtkgasman]

I will not waiver on this point. Ever.

I think the '70s Jon sounds very masculine, even if his voice was high. If he doesn't always sound like an adult male, he still sounds like a spunky 12 year old! As time went on he lost some of that gruff tenor; by the late '80s it's easy to see (hear) how someone could make that mistake.

[Gtkgasman]

No..........

Sober now. But still feel the same. Lol. Didn’t mean to be so snarky last nite. But I still don’t get it. Lol.

Enjoy the female sub discussion, cause it introduces me to some others to listen to also.

Wouldn’t mind some one coming out during a show for a tune or two. Would be fun.

JA has an edge, a bite, to his vocals, that, to me, distinguish him thoroughly. That others do not Ok. I’ll stop. 😉

I profusely apologize for my 14 year old self, who misinterpreted the gender of the lead singer of Your Move/All Good People upon hearing it for the first time in 1971. I was young and foolish in those days. Now I am only foolish...
