Originally posted by TwoHardCore ok, to give a bit more to my earlier post:
I personally do not like ANY vocals in trance music. There have been a FEW songs that are tolerable with vocals in it ie: Delerium - Silence (I just love Sarah's voice). I absolutely love 'samples' in trance songs ie: Age of Love - Age of Love = no vocals, only samples = (1 of the best tunes of all time!!!).
If I wanted to listen to 'vocals' then I'd go out and buy a Sarah McLaughlin or Tori Amos or Jann Arden et al cd. It's obvious trance does different things for different people. Trance puts me in a different mood, it takes me 'away' from the real world. Adding a vocalist to a beautiful melody ruins that mood for me.
I'll bet that of the 300+ trance cd's I have, I couldn't find 5 songs with vocals in it that I like. I'll even bet that all you TA's with all your 100000's of trance songs couldn't find 5 tracks with vocals in it that I'd like. BTW, alot of the songs I see posted as your favorites, or top-tunes I wouldn't even consider trance...but more 'club' type.
A perfect example of what I consider trance is by 'Jungle High - Samurai'.
Well, too bad bro, but you might have a different music taste than others... everyone is different, and not everyone likes vocals in trance. I love great vocals (like Sarah McLachlan, Leigh Nash,etc) in great songs, while terrible vocals will ruin even the best trance song out there...
And the good vocals in great songs can only contribute to the overall mood of trance music (for me at least)... get you flying, be one with music... Myself, for example, I can't stand those boring repeating progressive beats or cheezy repeating trance melodies that take you nowhere,... But hey, we are all entitled to our own opinion!
And just a note, I just downloaded the song Swamper posted on the singles MP3 page of tranceaddict.com called "BBE vs Emmanuel Top - Orion (BBE Mix)" and it sounds all right with these vocals... give it a try.

I would LOVE to see BT, PVD, or Chicane work with ENYA or Charlotte Church. I despise house vocals!

No joke! What in the hell were they thinking?
I do have to say that Tenth Planet - Ghosts (John Doe Mix) is one of the best vocal trance songs of the year. Rarely do all the elements come together for such an incredible track.
Bad vocals? SYLVER! Sorry, but I just can't stand it! They're not intelligent or even consistent, they're hardly even poetic! It sounds kinda like they took an English dictionary and matched up rhyming words.

Sorry but I totally disagree with that. I think vocals often make the songs better. Ayumi Hamasaki's original songs are great. A lot of you only know the remixed versions, that's why you would prefer them without vocals. But when you know and like the original ones, the remixes -with the vocals- are really marvelous for you!
Another example is the En-Motion 'Broken Wings', which would probably not be so good if the vocals were off...

hell yeah, I hate how it just starts echoing "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck" "fuck", it just seems he put profanity in it to get more attention or something. Somehow it seems out of place . But there would be something missing without it. The voice isnt so bad, just change the stupid words.

Yeah i was gonna say that . I have those tunes and i dont understand japanese i think that's partially the problem, although i dont have a problem with japanese vocal. They are good trance tracks though, but I think there should be a fine line when too much japanese vocals becomes too poppy danncy

thats so wack. what purpose does that serve. the only purpose of that song is just to be as offensive as possible really...theres a reason that he chose to put the lyrics in there, its not like it was an accident or not under his control. if a DJ want to play the song it should be the real thing or at least a reasonable remix...censorship is not an art form. wow, now THAT line sounds cheesy, but its true! late/
