they shatter glass and they break hearts
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 male falsetto for this list we’re
focusing on the fellas and all the most
high-pitched male musicians that have a
keen interest in expressing themselves
by a way of glorious falsetto
number 10 Justin Hawkins
he’s a man that’s easily moved by
television sitcoms and inspired by
Freddie Mercury and given the sounds of
the darkness his breakout hit I believe
in a thing called love it’s clear that
Justin Hawkins relishes in his deeply
moving falsetto he speaks like a regular
chap off the stage but once the lights
go on it’s all about the rock star
persona as well as this sometimes
unintelligible high-pitched vocals
this man understands the essence of
rock-and-roll and his piercing
intonation z’ reminds of days gone by
number nine Justin Timberlake
pop star actor sex symbol Justin
Timberlake wears many hats in the realm
of pop culture but don’t forget about
his innovative falsetto in the early and
safe days you might have thought that
perhaps JT hadn’t reached puberty but
once he went solo well Jam such as like
I love you and cry me a river’ proof
that he was on top of his falsetto game
Byrne how was your turn
most often he keeps his vocals low and
sexy and then pow he takes you on a
journey of the male falsetto Oh
number eight Tom York
while the music of Radiohead explores
many sounds it’s hard not to break down
and cry when listening to the falsetto
voice of lead singer Thom Yorke
his band played a pivotal role in the
rise of 90s alternative music and his
falsetto alone allows York to truly
communicate with listeners on a deep
level playing a key role amongst the
talented musicians he has behind him
it might be a gentle welcoming
high-pitched squeal or it can sound like
he’s dealing with some real difficult
business New York doesn’t simply show
off with his falsetto bravado as it’s an
instrument all its own
number seven Jonesy Bergesen
as the frontman of Icelandic rock band
sigur rós this vocalist boasts a
falsetto unlike the usual rock-and-roll
Whaler as it’s a falsetto that
transcends the typical listening
experience
do we believe jonesy bears ascend to be
an angel from heaven well no we’re not
going on record with that kind of
radical statement but just take a look
at the live performance of hope Ebola
and the effects of yawn Z’s rich
falsetto on the audience and see if we
don’t have a case it’s not a posturing
falsetto it’s just a natural gift that
he shares with the world as the adopted
lead singer of this post rock trio
number six Michael Jackson
he’s the quintessential smooth criminal
of pop music and a singer that glided
through the octave scales like a boss by
now everyone has his or her favorite MJ
imitation and it usually involves some
type of noise that sounds nothing like
his actual polished falsetto probably
because no one can actually truly pull
it off like the king of popped up
even so the plethora of high pitch
lyrics have left an indelible imprint on
the world as even the falsetto ad-libs
of Michael Jackson have a place in the
lexicon of pop culture dialogue
number five Frankie Valli they don’t cry
horn Francesco Steven Castelluccio this
man’s falsetto left a firm mark in the
landscape of 60s pop music while some
may correlate Frankie Valli with the
Broadway hit Jersey Boys or even as
gangster rusty Milio on The Sopranos
it’s his work with the four seasons that
made him a legend raw and powerful the
falsetto of Frankie Valli doesn’t convey
a pretty boy singer but a Python that’s
been around the block a few times
a track like Sherrie undoubtedly shows
off the higher register while big girls
don’t cry always gets under the skin a
Jersey boy with vocal talents unlike any
other
number four Smokey Robinson
before it was socially acceptable for
R&B singers to drop falsettos as a means
to entice women Smokey Robinson had
already developed such a technique as
the lead singer of the miracles the
finely tuned falsetto brought something
new to Motown in the late 50s and early
60s counterbalancing some of the more
masculine approaches to singing
with a song like Oh baby baby smokey
said it’s alright to feel all those
feels and in turn he inspired countless
musicians with his timeless falsetto
crooning number three Jeff Buckley
widely regarded as one of the best rock
singers of all time the late Jeff
Buckley’s falsetto often marked the
climax of a composition
with a sprawling vocal range the pivotal
moments often come when Buckley
unleashes a rebel yell or so it would
seem but only he keeps going with a
transcendent falsetto
considering the lyrical talent of Jeff
Buckley and the manner in which he
conveyed his thoughts to the world the
falsettos have a crushing aspect at
times while still managing to transmit a
type of musical ecstasy in the process
number two Prince
on the street a five – men singing with
a sexualized falsetto may not exactly
hold your attention but a Minnesotan
named Prince Rogers Nelson managed to
build a career on it both on stage and
in the studio hitting the mainstream in
the early days of MTV Prince effectively
utilized his falsetto to create an
ambiguous persona thus changing the
music industry on various fronts its
sexually charged and sometimes it’s used
to counterbalances natural sounding
voice but ultimately the Prince falsetto
marked a transition from the old school
to the new before we unveil our number
one pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one Barry Gibb in this history of
popular music there are specific
falsettos that align with a particular
genre but none more so than that’s a bee
gees berry gift
an ability discovered by accident while
recording nights on Broadway Berry’s
falsetto left a lasting impact on Bee
Gees material to follow
I’m Swiss
not only did a track like stayin alive
become an iconic disco production but
give was also able to put the talent to
good use when writing songs for a female
singer such as the GIMP and islands in
the stream most importantly however is
that Barry Gibb embraces the falsetto
like no other Barry Gibb may not have
been the voice of a generation but he’s
most definitely the voice of male
falsettos

falsetto
