I stand by my claim, i've seen them live and the guy sang like a demon, and after listening in depth to nickelback some of his songs ARE vocally impressive, plus the range hardly can be considered the basis for how well he sings, i like his voice, some people say it sounds a bit put on, but when i think of voices like that i think more along the line of the phonics and i rate Kroegers voice far more so, i just wouldn't dismiss him as a vocalist and Ethan i've heard you sing and i'd hardly compare you to Kroeger, i can't believe anyone would go as far as to call him a karaoke singer. ****IN' RIDICULOUS I SAY!

I find bands like Nckelback annoying because the lyrics are so prominent. And it's not that thats a bad thing, but when your lyrics are roughly the same with every single released it gets pretty boring pretty quick.

Yeah, the main weakness with Nickelback is the lyrics really. The music isn't exactly terrible. It's a whole lot better than most pop-rock crap.

For pop-rock, basically, it's okay really.

What good quality does he have vocally. The tone is the only thing you may even be able to argue with us because tone is pure opinion.

I know how to sing, he does not and i'm sorry but I consider range a key thing to someone being a talented vocalists.

After listening to that I wouldn't consider him a good vocalist, his voice is boring and sounds like your typical 'rock' singer you hear on the radio. Plus after reading that all you basically said was that you like his voice, therefore hes a good vocalist.

He should sound that way because he is on the radio. I agree with you that he is boreing sometimes.

Sorry, I forgot the radio had audiences and stages.
