    eclipse, I was wondering, how do you get songs to singers? How do you get their info? How do you get them to listen to you?

    arc- You’re right. I don’t think there are clear parameters, it’s just in my opinion.

    WIY- Better than who?

    I agree about Chaim Yisroel

    I disagree about Daskal; Shwekey and Ohad

    and while I like the others you mentioned I don’t think they are better then the ones I mentioned

    Is that a serious question?! Other than Avraham Fried and MBD I don’t think there’s anyone on your list who can debatably considered a better singer than Shwekey. Abie Rottenberg hardly can be considered a vocalist but he’s a great composer. Lipa Shmeltzer doesn’t have a good voice he’s just an entertainer. Aron Razel is decent at best. Yeedle has his moments but doesn’t have a great voice either.

    I can’t believe you would put Lipa befor Shwekey. Lipa can’t sing. His voice is not considered a good voice. Can he entertain? YES! Sing? Not too well. Shloime Daskal should be moved up on that list he is so underrated.

    There are 3 categories of Jewish music. Category #1 is Shlomo Carlebach zl. Only one in there is him. Category #2 is MBD. Only one in there is him. Category #3 is everybody else. Avramel is #1, Shwekey #2, who cares about the rest?

    Last night I was at Mendy Werdyger’s chasuna for his daughter. So I had a concert of Mendy, his son Sruly, MBD, his son Yeedle.

    Who are all-stars? Those who sell.

    When I listen to music it’s not about who can take the highest notes, it’s about good music, a good voice, and good singing.

    while shwekey has a good voice, some good songs, he doesn’t sing to well

    It isn’t a best voice list.

    Lipa is an all star. Abie Rottenberg great guy not an all star.

    Shwekey doesn’t sing too well? I’m not sure what you mean. What’s called singing “well” in your book. Shwekey is an all around great singer. If you mean he doesn’t have different color bekeshes, well that’s what makes Lipa sing “well.”

    You put it rather well. However I would put Avraham Fried in his own leage as well. After that comes Shwekey et al.

    What’s all the hype about shwekey?

    #739524

    i enjoy listening to mbd more than anyone else, its not only about singing ability

    back in the old days my favorite “singer” was bob dylan

    but when it comes to a singing voice shwekey is superb

    WIY yeah I think you may be right. Avramel has an amazing voice range. Several years ago he introduced MBD at a concert. He said, a voice like Mordechai’s comes once in a generation. But why in my generation?

    I’ll say it again. An All-Star is a singer who sells. Who cares whether a voice critic thinks a voice is great or not. If he sells thousands of CDs and can get thousands of dolars for a concert or chasuna, then he’s an all-star.

    I wish Bryan Adams was Jewish he was one of my favorites when I used to listen. Amazing songs and amazing vocalist. He puts feeling in when he sings.

    Avrohom Freid is in the MBD league.

    Lipa is possibly the biggest *star* right now.

    Yeedle has some great songs but is only a meh singer. I’ve heard several of his songs sung bt Daskal and he makes the so much better.

    Boruch Levine imho has an odd sounding voice.

    #739530

    Shwekey!!!!! Boeeeeeee

    (My favorite!!!!!!!!!)

    Chosson; ur right! i’m actually very into music, & after the first two I wasn’t really putting em in order as i was cutting and pasting. I’m love israeli/sefardi music so I put in some of them and the not so well known IL singers.

    Yes WIY; Ein Hochi Nami, Lipa’s an entertainer a good one at that but does not come before Shwekey at all.

    I just want to say though i’m not a big fan of Ohad, I think he had much potential just doesn’t know hot to sing well.

    If he could only learn to control his powerful voice,

    not use such high notes so often, & put some feeling into

    his singing, ppl wud enjoy him more.

    Not sure how far back Mod 80 goes. But I enjoyed Kansas and Chicago (still do). As for All Stars, in no particular order my preferences run from Reb Shlomo, Diaspora Yeshiva Band and anything Arthur Fielder and the Boston Pops plays. Sometimes Andre Rieau (sp).

    Where are the traditional cantors on these lists? Herstik? Malovany? Miller? Stark? Helfgot? Fisher? Craimer? Has the appreciation for putting our prayers to music using the nusach of our tradition been completely lost???

    I dont know if Suki and Ding would ever put them on an All star collection, but by the definition of “All Star” posited here, no top 10 jewish All Star music cast would be complete without the likes of

    George Gershwin,Leonard Bernstein, Art Garfunkle,Irving Berlin,

    Neil Diamond, Pauk Sedaka, Neil Simon, and yes, Mod 80 Bob Dylan.

    From Dylans time, perhaps 80 remembers David Lee Roth lead singer for Van Halen. The Beastie Boys, and Steely Dan all Jewish.

    Your right. I meant Paul Simon. Should have stuck with “Simon and Garfunkle” 🙂

    #739553

    BS”D

    MBD

    Avraham Fried

    Lipa

    Shwekey (reluctantly but this is based on popularity)

    Haim Israel

    Yisroel Werdyger

    Yeedle

    Shloime Gertner

    Y.M. Helfgot

    Dudu Fischer (again, popularity)

    Who really belongs there as well:

    Michoel Schnitzler (not on voice but on originality)
