but If any singer give a star, then its average score declines, and Axl with 10 rising stars growing...that's the point
I give Axl 10 stars, but to be fair I give the other singers what I think they deserve.  No other tens though.

Win or loose, Axl is always the winner in my mind, no one can match up, not to say other artists are not equally talented, they just don't equal Axl Rose.

Oh yes folks, here we have someone who is really cool. Because he's such a rebel, that he wants to get noticed for voting for someone else rather than our very own Axl Rose...

Get off the forum you idiot if you want to state that your voting for someone else, when we all are trying to get Axl to No.1. It really doesn't make you look badass, just stupid, because you're stating it on a GN'R forum where you also spend alot of your time.  :P

I vote for Axl no doubt, he is and always will be the best in every way possible.  :love:

Yes I know Nytunz, but we both know along with the majority of the users of the forum. That Halo69 was trying to be a smartass, by making it sound like he was going to vote for Steven Tyler over Axl Rose.  ::)

Axl is God, I'm a GN'R fan, I'm on a GN'R forum.......so it's obvious I'd favour Axl, as do most of the users of the forum. So I don't see what Halo69 was trying to achieve with his post, I don't know.........maybe he thought he was on an Aerosmith forum.  :hihi:

Whatever, come on folks keep voting for Axl....

Use the direct link that Anythingoes posted above, and then once you've voted. Close the page, and open it again from this one, you can get at least 5 votes in about 1 minute.  : ok:

Of course u can support both, but there's no need to brag about it on this forum....

This thread is for Axl, and the aim of this thread is to get Axl over Freddie and on the top, so if you vote other than 1 star on someone else u can tell about it elsewhere!

Rockin' Rose: Are you trolling? Must be, cause no one gives a shit if Dickinson is as good as Axl in your book....

Michael Jackson overtakes Freddie Mercury in NME's Greatest Singers poll

Cast your vote for the greatest singer of all time now

Jackson has leapt ahead into first place in our user-voted poll, scoring an average rating of 8.65. The late Queen frontman remains a close second with a score of 8.5. Guns N?Roses singer Axl Rose is currently trailing in third place with a score of 7.06.

Currently, Matt Bellamy from Muse is the only singer within the top 20 to have emerged in the past 25 years. He's at number nine with an average rating of 5.95. Meanwhile, Aretha Franklin has been inched to number eleven with 5.78, meaning there are no longer any women in the top ten. As the chart stands, exactly half of the top 20 are dead, with Rose being the highest-placed living artist.

Thanks for that, I'm sure that helped our cause significantly.  ::)

Honestly guys, this is a GN'R board, so if you feel the need to vote for another 3 singers or something besides Axl. There really is no need to mention it here, because it leaves a sour taste in the mouths of the people who are voting 20-30 times in one go to help out Axl/GN'R.  : ok:

These kinds of polls/lists are always tough. So many talented, legendary people who have influenced many others.

No matter how much some people like to bitch about Axl this and Axl that, the fact remains, he's one of a kind.

He's up there with the best.

Absolutely 4th place says alot, and like Jarmo mentioned he is definately up there with the best.  Great job everyone, and a big "high five" to Axl :)

Of course, he is!  He is definitely one of a kind, but that's what makes a great front man.  And he is up there with the best, in rock and roll history, I believe.  Nice company to be in, there.
