Michael Jackson is up for another award, yet posthumously. The NME award, which is prestigious in the UK, depends on fans to vote for their favorite artist. In this case, Freddie Mercury (of the group Queen) is currently in the #1 spot. Michael Jackson is currently #2.We all know that not only was the best singer, but he was the best ARTIST of all time. Please click here to cast your vote. You can vote as many times as you would like. The first time I went there I voted 25 times. Also, after you vote, if you close your window out and then go back to the site to vote again, the vote is stronger.
Please take the time to do this. Show the world how much admiration and love you hold for Michael Jackson, and show the world the power of Michael Jackson fans. Michael Jackson deserves this award above any other artist.

Amen, Justice.
For me this is why I feel Michael is the greatest vocalist: Incredible versatility, musicality, range, depth, virtuosity, longevity and emotional authenticity. Michael could softly croon with the best balladeers and aggressively scream with the best rock vocalists and would ultimately set a standard that others would be measured by. However, it's not just about Michael's exceptional vocal ability, it's also about stage presence and connection with his audience. He had immense heart and it was never just about Michael Jackson. Watch him perform "Who's Lovin' You" as a child or "Earth Song" as an adult. Effortless and brilliant! Michael was an acknowledged prodigy from childhood. Michael consistently strove for and achieved his artistic goals with excellence. He truly had it all and he gave it his all. Freddie Mercury, and many of the others are exceptional as well, but I vote MJ as number one because of the way he connected with his audience through his vocal ability, the way his audience responded to him, and the sheer longevity and versatility of that vocal ability from childhood through to his adult years. Truly unmatched!
Sandy,
Absolutely hands down the best analysis of why MJ was the greatest singer of all time! I voted 75 times last night, planning on continuing that until the poll closes!
Hi Justice, curious I voted on and off all day yesterday; near the end of the day I noticed both Michael's and Freddie's votes going down rather than up! Today I voted ten times for Michael, then waited a while to check and, again, both his and Freddie's numbers decreased rather than increased. Doesn't seem right.
Hi June,
I think what is happening when the numbers go down for a particular artist, is that people are voting "0" stars...rubbish. If there are enough "rubbish" votes, then the vote goes down. Just checked it right now...MJ is up to 8.21, Mercury is down to 8.63. I love the MJ fan-mily!
Justice, it's now 8.45 Michael, 8.54 Freddie; got to keep it going even as Michael moves past Freddie, so that he wins by a wide margin as that is what he truly deserves. This poll is on just about every pro-Michael website out there, proof there is strength in numbers and fans are working together!
I wanted to share this beautifully done fan video of the ballad, "Beautiful Girl." (Michael Jackson: Ultimate Collection-2004) It's a fine example of Michael's vocal range. By the way, thanks for your kinds words, Justice!

Poll is now closed. Waiting for the official announcment of Michael's win...:-)
Michael has earned his place as the number one greatest vocalist today, but NME almost blew it by refering to Michael by that offensive tabloid term that we all know and I won't repeat.
Many commentors on NME voiced strong objection and at some time today the title was changed to reflect Michael's real name. Wow! I don't think I've ever seen that happen before anywhere!
Two years after Michael's tragic passing and the renaissance continues! If only this happened years ago!!
Congratulations to Michael for his well deserved win and congratulations to the fans for their never ending love and support of this exceptional human being!!
Blessings to all!!
