Who is a better crooner..., Daryl Hall or Sting?

I like both, but Sting is better.

I don't like sting at all.

Songs should have more than 10 words in them. They should contain more than a chorus.

Well, that's like, just your opinion man

I do not happen to agree with his opinion, but it is not just his opinion. Many people feel the same about Sting.

Which portion of the song do you dislike? Here is a link to help you out.

The Police - Roxanne

Only the parts where Sting sings the same thing over and over. It just gets old.

I don't care that other people like him/the police. It isn't like I want to tear him down from his ivory tower and convince people he sucks. I just get really bored of his music really quickly.

I liked him when I was younger, like 13-16.

I hear you. The Police recordings certainly subscribed to the same model for all of their songs. Some of Sting's solo stuff relied a little less on the chorus and supplied more meaningful lyrics.

Overall, I like Sting more as a performer. As a pure singer (crooner?...I wouldn't label either as a crooner), Daryl Hall.

Sting vocally couldn't do Sarah Smile justice. I think Hall can pull off any Sting/Police song I can think of, although it's not his style.

ETA: Saw the comments about Hall sounding bad in his old age. In my mind, I was comparing both at the height of their powers...

Daryl Hall in his prime had one of the best male singing voices.

Hall fo sho.

Listened to both growing up. Sting's career is broader by a mile and could hit notes a cloud layer higher. I'll take the Police and his solo work over H&O and DH on his own.

But Daryl is a better singer.
