Musicians often radiate cool, they're the textbook example of rad, iconic in plenty of ways, from their talent and ability to their style and aura. They're often celebrities for a reason, and while idolisation can often be unhealthy when taken to the extreme, it's perfectly natural to admire someone you think exhibits all of the above.
We want you to show us which musician you admire the most and tell us why! Explain who they are, when you became a fan, and why they're one of your favourite musicians to win.
Epica is in mu opinión, just on another level, and Simone Simons is hands down the most powerful and wonderful mezzo-soprano ever!! Her voice is pure magic, like how does she even do that?? 'Storm the Sorrow' is such a masterpiece, both musically and visually.
The way they made the video with all those crazy visual effects and that dark, surreal atmosphere, it's like a dream (or a nightmare? lol) coming to life. The whole thing was shot mostly with green screens, and they used a ton of CGI to create that eerie, almost haunting world. And Simone just OWNS every single f ING second of it, looking like an actual goddess. This song is so special bc it perfectly blends heaviness with melody, and her voice just soars over everything like fire. Literal chills every time!! 🔥🔥
Lead vocalist of Babymetal, currently 27 years old but started his musical career at the age of 11.
Her style may be more or less appealing, or not so appealing to classic metalheads, but she has an incredible voice, which is why she won, for example, the Female Metal Singer of 2024 Metal Award.
Her ability to achieve a very wide vocal range, to achieve superb intonation and depth even while continuously performing choreographed movements, and her stage presence, make her a superb singer and performer.
I admired this artist from the first day I listened to him and then reading his story and seeing how he lives daily, my admiration has never waned. What struck me initially was the style and the voice, I love country ... then I understood that he is a person with values and together with his wife they have adopted many children taking them off the streets. They are a living testimony of how even today there is love and important values in people
Depeche Mode has been my favorite band for 37 years and through all the years i developed a enormous admiration for the musician, songwriter and amazin singer Martin Lee Gore.
Since Alan Wilder left the band in 1995 Mr. Gore became at full time the main songwriter of the band, crafting deeply emotional and often introspective lyrics.
His ability to create memorable melodies and innovative electronic compositions has been a driving force behind the band's enduring success.
Gore possesses a tenor voice, which is naturally higher in pitch than Gahan's. This creates a beautiful and often haunting contrast in their harmonies, his singing is often characterized by its emotional depth and sincerity.
For me, these three characteristics consecrate Martin Gore as songwriter, musician and singer making of him for me a visionary whose talent has been a cornerstone of Depeche Mode's success and influence.
I love Rod Stewart because his song "Young Turks" on GTA SA radio, at that time 2010 and I play GTA SA ride on the coast San Andreas and the radio play Rod Stewart song. First time I don't know what the title song is, but I search on google " young heart be free tonight" and appears Rod Stewart : Young Turks.
From there I listened to other music and it turned out that all the songs were good, until now when I'm bored I play the songs to remember my childhood.
I really like Serj Tankian, lead singer of System of a Down, as well as having incredible and unique vocals, he uses his music to convey deep messages, injustices, wars, cultures. He is of Armenian descent and has always stressed the issue of genocide and oppression, bringing to light problems that are masked, using his influence to raise awareness.
The combination of talent and social conscience makes me admire him.
A musician I admire is Johnny Cash, I find his story inspiring and emotional! Witnessing the death of his brother from a very young age, holding the guilt from it but finding solace in music and the radio,
I admire everything he overcame in life, it showed he was human, he made mistakes but he also worked through them and made himself a better person through it.
I admire him so much that I have lyrics to one of his songs and his portrait tattooed on my thigh!
Lady Gaga is an absolute icon. Her talent is undeniable songwriting, and versatility across genres are mind-blowing. But beyond that, I admire her fearlessness. She’s never been afraid to be different, to push boundaries, and to advocate for self-expression and inclusivity. Whether it’s her music, fashion, or activism, she radiates authenticity and empowers people to embrace who they are.
The musician I admired the most was Ray Manzarek from the Doors musical group
a pianist, composer, singer and a person who created everything with his synthesizers, he produced incredible psychedelic astral sounds and he was the bass player in the group.
Adjusting his synthesizer he was the bassist of the group, he was often the second electric guitarist and also other times he was also the executor of piano , organ, violin and an incredible amount musical instruments electronic generated
I think that Ray Manzarek was the genius of The Genius, the star behind the Star in the Doors
multifaceted , multitalented , multi instrumental singer composer , arrangement producer the real one-man band
The man with a quiet, shy appearance behind the scenes the man who played the organ solo in light my fire was him who very quietly planned all that psychedelic music all that experimental sound and all that explosion that characterized the group of the Doors
And I would dare to say that at the beginning Doors would not have existed without the contribution of Ray although some time later it could not have existed without the presence of Morrison very curious
I’m a big fan of James Marriott and I originally found him from his YouTube instead of his music, when he only had an ep out. Slowly started listening to him and then bought tickets to see him on a tipsy whim whilst out with a friend. Now he’s been trending on tiktok, I got to see him on tour at Koko in Camden and has music out that everyone is hearing. Getting to watch one of your favourite musicians grow is something that puts them so close to your heart. You grow with them in a way.
