In correlation to music, what would be your definition of a colorful voice?

Tom Waits.

listen to rain dogs

Someone with an incredible voice. Phoebe Snow for example. And here’s an excerpt from the wikipedia biography of her describing that amazing voice:

She was described by The New York Times as a “contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves.”

Peter Gabriel

@Jude . . . and my heaven will be a big heaven and i will walk through the front door . . .

I think a colorful voice is one that takes the poetry of a song, and paints a picture in your mind of what it is saying. Think of Paul Robeson singing Ol’ Man River or how a dowdy, plain chick like Janis Joplin could reach out with her voice and rip your heart right out of your throat.

Adele. Hands down. I love her.
