His username on the Aberdeen Music forums was HummerOfIntenseEvil. I think he was amazed that I could remember some of the letters that he had written!

And "To See A Friend In Tears" is my favourite soft James vocal.
On the last line I can picture his eyes going wide and teary like they do on cartoons.
No, you don't know what I'm on about, ok, "To See A Friend In Tears" then.
Like that cartoon with the fat cat and the weird looking chihuahua? Always remember a clip when the cartoon cat was upset about something and his eyes went huge and teary. He also had a drip of snot hanging from his nose! (sorry, derailing!)

ATM: I Know the Numbers: His voice is fantastic and you feel the sorrow in the lyrics.

+1

Born A Girl is a very lovely performance too!

Whether you like the song or not his vocals on The Everlasting are beautiful.

*Massive thumbs up*

As has been said, Lifeblood has great vocals. Possibly the best, if you're looking for a mellow singer.

Agreed.

Plus these ones:

Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19N9H1JXvko -- Love his vocals here.

"Bright Eyes", this one -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6amm_PUjJ_k -- I really like this!

"Ready for Drowning" with John Cale -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ3vPyumqX4 -- might be too 'shouty' for some, but I really like this as well.

I like pretty much everything he sings.

Another Scottish vote for 4st 7lbs!

This was the first MSP song I 'owned', via a free CD from Q Magazine when THB was new, so I may be biased... in fact, nah, it's the best James vocal ever. And I always like to point out that he sounds just like Freddie Mercury on "wanna walk in THA SNOW!". He really does.
