December 7, 2012 Ballad. Meet Michael Bolton. Michael Bolton's voice. Meet power ballad. I think Michael Bolton has one of the BEST voices ever. I know the guy bombed out of Dancing with the Stars and people accused him of having no rhythm or soul, but the man can sing his behind off and I have video proof. I was a huge fan of Michael Bolton in the late 80's when he released songs like "That's What Love is All About," "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" and "When I Am Back on My Feet Again." But my favorite Michael Bolton performance ever wasn't a solo performance. He and Patti LaBelle joined forces for a medley of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell hits on a televised Motown tribute special years ago. WATCH THIS! This is BIG singing at its best and proof that Bolton has all kinds of soul. he goes toe-to-toe with one of the biggest voices on the planet and doesn't miss a beat. The crowd starts clapping and yelling in the middle of the performance and doesn't stop. They are squirming and ready to jump out of their seats. This is RIDICULOUS! I still get chills watching . . .
