Male or Female Vocalists: What is your preference?

[untitledforayu]

Hey there AHS,

Lately I've noticed that my iTunes library is dominated by female artists and bands with female lead vocalists, especially within my J-Pop collection (which is only comprised of female vocalists). So, I was wondering if other people had such a preference?

At the minute, I'm more into female vocalists, out of the 103 artists in my iTunes library, 49 are female-fronted with 9 of them being conventional bands.
35 of them are solo artists.

female

rarely do i listen to a male artists, but there are some

my theory is that i like to sing along with songs and i dont' want to be singing about "your gorgeous eyes, your beautiful hair" etc XD

but i'll listen to any song with a good beat~ it's just that i tend to find better beats in female artists' song~

[Calico]

Female all the way. There are only a few male artists/vocalists I like. (oh hai Gackt).

It's purely for aural aesthetic reasons. That and I just love women.

[happiholic★]

Female. It's not that I don't like male tracks, but I hardly find many that I really like. Women just seem to make music that I like more than men.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Females.

GReeeeN ruined my likeness for J-Male Vocals. Ken does have some nice vocals though.

[milky_way]

Female. I only listen to about handful of male vocalists/groups.

[Neko★munication]

Female overall. Some J-pop male voices are really... annoying. Like, super whiney sounding.

[Polyrhythm]

Female...but I think its cause I only listen to Japanese music mainly...I always thought male j-pop was more for a female audience(?) Iunno...do any guys here listen to male jpop?

[brand new love]

both, i don't really have a preference. i listen to more female singers though.

popular male j-pop (like je) is definitely for a female audience, considering most of them can't sing and are just there to make $$$ off their appearance lol.

Females
i rarely listen to guys

[Handjan]

Female.
I like songs that are sung by men, but I don't have any favorite male vocalists/vocals.

[TITANIC]

Female..
i rare listen to male singers

[ownsarai]

Both, really. Ayu is at the top of my most played, but I also love J-Rock.

[AyumiBest]

Female I don't know why though.

[Meat Pao]

Female. For some reason I can't listen to male singers for long LOL

[~cupcakes~]

Both

love female artists but male artists sound better in some genres like J~Rock.
which I looooveee !

[prussian blue]

i listen to female's song more because i can sing along with them

almost every male artist has high key in every song, and i cant sing a long with them =X of course, there're exceptional case, i'll still listen if the song sounds really good or the artist has a really good voice (ken hirai , tohoshinki etc)

[aqua_crystal]

I think, in Western music, I prefer Male vocalists.
