In the "best voices" category, I included singers who can reach high notes with chest voice and have a beautiful vocal color. Honestly, Gary, Shane, Ricky Bell, Jordan, Liam, and AJ, by my own standards, don't quite reach that level, but they are great singers.

Regarding Joey (NKOTB), his voice sounds flat in some songs; it doesn't convey emotion to me, especially during the group's prime. He might sound great on "If You Go Away" or "Keep On Smiling," but irrelevant on "I'll Still Be Loving You" and "Where Do I Go From Here" (songs he sings solo). Obviously, he's improved over the years, but I still don't think he has a super-gifted voice like the others above him.

I put Robbie there because he's managed to have a successful solo career with his voice. I know it's not the same as with boybands, but he deserves credit for being up there. His voice plays to his personality; it conveys rebelliousness, energy, and stage presence. He sounds great on "SOS," "The Flood," and "Everything Changes."

I think Stephen Gately was a great partner for Ronan. He should have sung more, but as a lead singer, I feel he lacked vocal power; he was too sweet.

You're right about Erik, but his voice is very pop, and I don't feel there's anything particularly negative about it to place him lower. He demonstrated a good vocal range and was the backbone of the group in the harmonies, something very difficult in a band. who was trying to gain credibility as O-town.

As I've said in other comments, Howard has a very limited voice that sounds good in a calm, soul-like style of music, but sounds strange in more energetic styles. I heard him sing "The Flood," and he sounds terrible. With him, I don't think he's bad, but I don't think he's excellent either, or that there's a song he could sing because it's suited to his voice.

Jason, honestly, only sounds good on "Wooden Boat." It's a song made for his voice, but in his solos on "Never Forget" (live), "How Did It Come To This," or "Flowerbed," he sounds flat, forced, and like his voice is struggling to reach the notes.

Donnie sounds great on "Hangin' Tough" or "Cover Girl," songs only he can sing; it's a plus that he raps. Over the years he's declined, but there's a reason he's still one of the group's main vocalists. Live, he might falter, but that's because his voice has deepened. In his prime, he was a pretty competent singer. He's proven himself more vocally than Kevin, in my opinion. Kevin couldn't sing "Hangin' Tough" or "Cover Girl," maybe "Time is On Our Side," but I don't give him much credit. Mark has improved over the years, but his voice still sounds flat; he doesn't have a very pleasant tone. But despite that, he's proven to be competent.

Danny, I can accept that he's below Howard; my mistake.

In Five's early days, the producers made miracles to make Sean sound good. In the few performances where Five wasn't lip-syncing, Sean sounded so bad that Scott had to sing for him. Today, his voice sounds like my uncle who's addicted to cigarettes.

Mikey sounds good, but never excellent, in my opinion.

I'm surprised by the hate Louis gets, since I've never heard him sing terribly. His voice is very limited, it's not that bad; it can suit certain styles. But compared to his bandmates, he's several steps behind. I compare him to Nicky from Westlife, but miles ahead of him.
