ok so heres my latest epiphany.
its not always about how well or what you play as a musician. alot of the time theres an element of showmanship to it. for instance, jimmy hendrix played the guitar with his teeth, not because he thought it would give a better sound, not because it allowed him to play faster, because the crowd loved it......

by that logic, it is very hard for a lead singer to have good stage presence.
seing as how all they have to use as props is a microphone and a stand...
so im creating this thread for people to post videos of (or even just mention) lead singers that created a visual act that was amusing, attractive, energetic etc....

so far my video is
Faker - this heart attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWaHdIIMRqc)
i just love the way he moves in this song.... too the beat and subtle...

I don't care what you say about MCR, you gotta admit, Gerard has great stage presence, and is a a pretty amazing frontman.

I proclaim him greatest on stage performer of our generation. Screw singing. That only gets you so far. I actually prefer Gerard live than in his videos.

I can't find the one of Mama what I want, so I'll just post this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmPU3hUcjj8).

Oh wait... found it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTGMlRX-dH4). Yay.

Freddy Mercury had some of the best stage presence ever.

No video.
