Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
He was excellent in the early days. He's phenomenal on Awake. Pretty good live, too, back then.
Hale will sound great with I Can't Believe It's Not Rush, AKA Frankenband.

Lzzy can only dream of having the character and commanding presence Till's voice does.

Imo LaBrie was amazing until he grew that goatee in 2007. He only started to "suck" in the very recent years, around 2015-16.

He's sucked live for more than a decade. He's actually better nowadays than he was about a decade ago, which was also the time Portnoy started to view him as a complete liability and wanted to replace him.
Check out this disaster from 2009, for example.

I'm sounding like a broken record but have you heard Awake? This, for example:
Pointing this out because I agree with you with the exception of Awake. That's the only album that features LaBrie where LaBrie is a key factor that pulls me in and makes me want to listen again.

To be exact, I'd say that he improved(compared to the last couple of Portnoy years) when Mangini joined, but soon after that his voice just started naturally getting weaker with age. He might've gotten better recently in some aspects, but his control and power have certainly decreased. The range is still there, occasionally.
I do like him better there.

I've never understood all the fuss for Rammstein. Not at all. And Till in a Best Band Ever tournament? Nonsense. Most of what he does is barely more than spoken word. He's not a great singer. Outside of the three German-speaking countries the language is a massive gimmick. Most of you wouldn't like them if they lyrics were in English. Lizzy Hale is better in absolutely every single way as a vocalist.
Bob Halford is obviously better than James LaBrie. There's no point voting for him as he's won already so I will give James my vote because of Dream Theater bias, and also because I would still rather listen to a song he sings on that most of Judas Priest.

@Lampwick 43 this exists:
That's kind of covered by what Tillfans have already said. We like the character of his voice, the delivery of the vocals, and his persona. Hale is technically a far superior singer, but more meh.

Oh wow, this looks like a juicy round.
First pair is difficult because both examples posted use layered vocals so much you have to go looking for examples that give a realistic impression of their voices. Think I prefer Kürsch's singing style.
Second pair, Kennedy - distinctive and characterful voice, especially the moody lows, great stage presence.

I hear no layered vocals in Russell's performance there.

I'm thrilled she made it into the Top 16. She won't stand a chance against Bob Halford though because of exposure and bald bias, but she has something to say about that...
Sorry. I meant to say that was live and echoey, so I didn't think it was representative, and the others I listened to feature a lot of layered vocals.
