Gerard Arthur Way is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and comic book writer who was the lead vocalist and co-founder of the American alternative rock band My Chemical Romance from its formation in September 2001 until its split in March 2013. His debut solo album Hesitant Alien was released on September 30, 2014. He also wrote the comic mini-series The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and the Eisner Award-winning comic book The Umbrella Academy. Gerard Arthur Way's claim to fame is being the foreman of the alternative rock band My Chemical Romance. The reason I rate him this highly is that no matter how he's vocalizing: screaming or barking lyrics or just plain singing, he sounds great. His singing voice is nothing short of unique: varied, but you know who it is as soon as you hear it. Another merit is Way's amazing, charasmatic stage presence that you don't even have to see him live to know is apparent. Good on ya', Gerard!
Yes, I am so glad that Gee is number 1! and he better stay on number 1! I love you Gee!
Gerard way is our lord and saviour our sass queen our my chemical romance

Foreman of Panic! At the Disco, Urie's vocal abilities leave little to be desired. He has a nice way of playing a character through his voice.

Frank Anthony Iero, Jr. is a musician who was the rhythm guitarist and backup vocalist of the alternative rock band My Chemical Romance as well as the vocalist of the post-hardcore band Leathermouth and electronic-hardcore act Death Spells. A close second to Way is Frank Anthony Iero II. Iero has been quite involved in the music scene: as singer in the band Pencey Prep, rhythm guitarist for aforementioned My Chemical Romance, lead screamer in the project LeATHERMOUTH, and much more; the varied musical talent right there has to get him some recognition. His style is very unique, involving a mixture of spoken word, violent screaming, and a sort of baleful crooning that betrays his truly angelic singing voice. You don't run into someone like this very often.

During the time his band was most popular in Germany, which was in the mid-to-late '00s, Kaulitz reached a-list celebrity status in his home country, and was known for his androgynous voice, looks and personality that partly sparked the German emo movement. In 2016, he released his first solo songs as a download-only EP. Kaulitz also works as an animal rights activist, being a vegetarian himself. Furthermore, he served as a judge on the 10th season of the German version ...read more. It's not very often you run into a slightly feminine bombshell like Kaulitz here, the foreman of the German band Tokio Hotel. Kaulitz's high vocals can put Justin Beiber's 'Baby' to shame! It's really a wonder this guy isn't more popular than he is. The only reason I don't put him any higher is because his style, though angelic, is not the most varied.

Raymond "Ray" Toro is an American musician who served as lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the band My Chemical Romance until their split in 2013. Raymond Toro isn't very well known singing-wise; this is because up until recently he was the lead guitarist for My Chemical Romance. Now, please let me stop it with Ray here for a moment. I know some of you are thinking that I'm My Chemical Romance-obsessed and I'm letting this affect this top 10. Remember, this is my opinion. Toro has one of those rare voices where you can't detect any imperfections whatsoever. That's why he's up here.
Andrew Dennis Biersack, better known as Andy Sixx, is the lead vocalist of Black Veil Brides, though far from emo. He's got a deep, lovely voice and he's a pretty good screamer, if I do say so myself.

However, you've got to admit he's got a signature style with that high voice of his, as well as an interesting stage presence and presence in general.
