What one guy thinks is "raw emotion", "genuine" and "soulful" the other guy will think is "contrived" and "pathetic". And none of them are wrong or right.
Fisky is a great guy, but this is a stupid thread.

What is wrong with everyone discussing who they think displays 'raw emotions' in music?
Are you one of those frail little guys that hate it when others have a different opinion than you?
No lyrical backup needed... Yung Thug.
David Bowie's original recording of Heroes:
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

Emoting is poison in acting, but in pop music it sells.
Opera is the extreme, along with gospel music in the US.
Jeff Buckley
This cover is pretty amazing, and really conveys emotion.
Tom Jones was a close friend of Elvis and was a star a the same time as him, and this song is basically a lament/reflection on the death of Elvis. It's amazing as the song was written recently, so Tom is really one of the last of that era - had this been written a little later, we might not ever have got to hear this from a singer of that time. Even the date it was released was late enough that very, very few singers of that era would still have the voice to convey the emotion in their friend - and a link to their primes - passing away. Tom still slays it, by the way, and he is in his early seventies here.
If you've got 3 mins, give it a listen.

Bob Dylan (don't have to be a great technical singer to convey emotion!)
Plenty of others that aren't on the tip of my tongue right now.
