Who is your TOP 5 bass singer?

HigherNote4U -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 12:51:41 PM)
LOL I was the first to vote on this and saw that it said my say so was worth 100%. I've been telling my wife this for years and now I finally have the proof. Out of the one's mentioned I had to go with Eric Bennet for voice quality, ability to sing smooth leads as well as hit the low notes. I like Aaron McCune a lot, but he has a ways to go before he is as smooth as Eric is. Plus, Eric doesn't seem to have the....I don't know how to say it nicely so I'll just say it....ego that Aaron McCune has. Don't get me wrong, Gold City is my favorite quartet, but Aaron has a little arrogance about him on stage that I can't get into.

Dinana -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 12:59:10 PM)
I'll join you in the 100% for Eric Bennett!!! I don't think Aaron's really arrogant. He has a quieter personality than others who are so extremely outgoing, so I think some people may think that he's a bit arrogant. In the time he's been with Gold City, I've seen him become more relaxed on stage. He really can be quite funny and warm.

HigherNote4U -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 1:11:49 PM)
That could be it, but I don't know. He just has this thing that he puts off that seems like arrogance. Hopefully I'm reading it wrong. I mean, he's nice when you talk to him off stage but onstage his movements and facial expressions while he's singing just turn me off a little.

BassSingerSwain -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 1:38:47 PM)
I voted for Glenn Dustin. I've seen very few bass singers that are as dedicated to improving themselves as Glenn is. His voice training that he's received are becoming evident in Legacy Five's stuff nowadays.

BRBB -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 2:55:40 PM)
I voted for Aaron McCune. My No. 1 choice for bass is Jeff Chapmen from the Kingdom Heirs. Also, there's some real good videos of Aaron on youtube where he shows his funny side.

MaestroSC -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 2:59:22 PM)
I took the opportunity to find some youtube vids of all the basses to refresh myself. I'd have to say I really like the tone and professionalism of Glenn Dustin (Legacy Five). He sounds great, and he's just "sharp" to me.

danielmount -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 3:15:38 PM)
I like all five. This time I voted for Tim Duncan. My second choice was Mike Holcomb.[:)]

servants -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 5:34:47 PM)
With this list I would have to go with Eric Bennett.

Darien8869 -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 6:08:26 PM)
Definitely Glenn Dustin, followed by Mike Holcomb as number 2

countrygirls -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 6:12:55 PM)
Out of this 5, I voted for Tim Duncan, but my favorite is David Hester!

Janen49 -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 6:23:00 PM)
I voted for Tim Duncan. My second favorite would be Aaron McCune, but all of them are great bass singers!

joebrown55 -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 6:41:48 PM)
I voted for Aaron. He is one of the most consistent bass singers out there today. Aaron will be around for a long time. Great Bass Voice...Great Technician. .............In my humble opinion.

servants -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 7:48:06 PM)
Can you say David Hester?

Qtman -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 7:54:54 PM)
From this group I chose Eric Bennett. But the OP ask for our top five and they are 1. Eric Bennett 2. Mike Alen 3. David Hester 4. Mike Holcomb 5. Tim Duncan ETA They are not listed in any particular order.[:D]

L5Ropeholder -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 8:43:09 PM)
Glen got my vote, but Eric and Mike Alen are also on my list. Have not heard enough of the others to have an opinion on them. I always love it when Glan takes the lead on a song. Especially on an old hymn like Amazing Grace.

floridacracker -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 10:07:22 PM)
Of the 5 listed I voted for Mike Holcomb but Gene McDonald is my Favorite.

pauljackson -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 10:47:45 PM)
I don't understand the question. Did i miss something. Are we suppose to list a TOP 5 of our own? Or do we just pick a fav from this list of 5? Or do we list our fav 5 still singing?...or do we list top 5 all-time? Help! PJ

BBfan -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (7/31/2008 11:11:03 PM)
I like them all but I voted for my favorite...Eric! Not on the list I would have to say Mike Allen.

If I was picking my top 5 overall list, I think it would include Christian Davis, David Hester, and Randy Byrd. And I suppose we're free to take the thread off-topic in that direction, but the point of the poll was to get a forums feeling for the Fan Awards poll.

Dagwat -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (8/1/2008 11:30:56 AM)
Well, I had to go with Glenn Dustin on this list. I really think Tim Duncan is hard to beat on bass voice, I just don't like the whole EHSS gig, but Tim is a great bass singer. I personally like Christian Davis about as well as anyone out there, and David Hester as well. On THIS LIST, I go with Glenn Dustin and them Mike Holcomb. I suppose if I had to pick the best bass voice of all time, for me it would be Gene McDonald. Very smooth and effortless, just all natural Gene.

DOVEFAN -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (8/1/2008 12:26:48 PM)
Mike Holcomb is who I voted for! [:D]

L5MAN -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (8/1/2008 12:48:54 PM)
I like all the bass singers mentioned here, but there are 2 whom I can't understand their words when they sing. That's very important to me. Part of the problem is that I'm half deaf. [&:]

quaidnewcome -> RE: Who is your TOP 5 bass singer (8/1/2008 12:59:46 PM)
On the poll, Mike Holecomb hands down. I feel that McCune was better with Palmetto State, as if he's slacked off since joining Gold City. But I've never seen them live since he joined. I've only heard the CD "Revival" and the song "I Cast My Bread". Who knows, I could be speaking out of ignorance. I feel that these in the top 5 fan awards nominations are a weak representation of Southern Gospel's basses. Not that they're bad, but they aren't the best. Other than Mike, the others are relativley young and their voices haven't developed to their full potential. Give them some more years of singing, and then put them on the ballot for the award. But from the fact that these 5 made it into the finals, I guess I'm in the minority. Now, for those NOT on the poll, my top 5 basses........ (in order) Jim Stewart Tim Riley James "Big Cheif' Wetherington Jeff Pearles Calvin Runion MAYBE switch Calvin or Jeff Pearles for George Younce/ Jeff Chapman/ Chris West. I'm still undecided on that. It's unfortunate that, of the living ones, only Jeff Chapman is currently with a group that gets constant national recognition. SOOOOOOOOOO many great basses have been/ still are on the stage.
