Flamboyant Male Singers With 5-Octave Voices!

(No, not Michael Jackson. I started putting this post together before he took off for the Great Gig in the Sky. I never really "connected" to his music, but he was a musical giant and I hope he's remembered for that and not for his painfully obvious kookiness.)

Grace Kelley by Mika (current delight of my soul).

Adam Lambert - at the Upright Cabaret:
What's Up (4 Non Blondes cover). See if you spot a Stevie Wonderish warble.
Crazy (Gnarles Barkley)

And finally: the one, the only... the divinely inspired, the incredibly diverse, the fantastically gifted Freddie Mercury.
A couple of Queen links for the completely clueless:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Fat Bottomed Girls - always makes me smile.
Here is his Un-Biography if you're in for a laugh.
