Voice Madness - Who's Got the Best Vocal Chords Out There?

March Madness is over.  UCONN pulled off the big win over the disappointing Bulldogs in the final game last night.  Kemba became the unofficial player of the year (Sorry Jimbo).  Everyone except our boy Jean down the hall (his bracket's 900th in the country) had their bracket destroyed by the likes of VCU and Butler.  But now that's all said and done, and it's time to focus on a much more important tourney.  


We've been working on this one for a while now guys, so enjoy it.  You've heard them all before, and we've narrowed it down to sixteen.  But now it's time to decide Who Has the Best Voice?


Below are the candidates with a picture of the person linked to the name and a video displaying his voice linked in the sentences after.


James Earl Jones: Now known for his silky smooth voice in Verizon commercials, Big J is most well known for his voice as Darth Vader… and for being Mr. Mertle (the blind old man who owns the beast) in The Sandlot. Check him out singing a Justin Bieber song.

Gilbert Gottfried: His unmistakable voice as the parrot in Aladdin and his shenanigans on Hollywood Squares, among other roles, make him worthy of a 4 seed in the bracket.

Christopher Walken: Whether he’s begging for more cowbell, playing ping pong in Balls of Fury, or belting out songs in Hairspray (no homo), he’s kinda the man.

Bob Dylan: His raspy ramblings on all his old jams and even the cover of Rebecca Black’s Friday show how unique and discernable his voice is among all others.

Morgan Freeman: What guy has never wanted Morgan Freeman to narrate his life? The answer: no one. His voice can make me mildly give a shit about even the most boring topics out there like those stupid Visa commercials and March of the Penguins.

Dick Vitale: He’s AWESOME BAYBEEE!!! Who doesn’t love turning on an NCAA game and hearing this guy go nuts… plus he’s from Jersey.

Sean Connery: He’s got a voice good enough to 1) be James Bond for a few films. 2) get impersonated on SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy a million times. 3) Deliver this beautiful line in another shitty Nicholas Cage Movie.


Gus Johnson: This guy defines March Madness.  This guy defines excitement.  He's kind of like Special K cause he gets amped up over everything.


Joe Buck: What can one say about good ol’ Joe Buck.  I feel like he’s been around for centuries just doing his thang every week for Fox Sports.  My personal favorite quote: “HOME RUN SLAMA-LAMA DING DONG!”

Don LaFontaine: In a world…where The Voice doesn’t exist…is a sad, sad world.  Movie trailers would sound just god awful and boring.

Jack Nicholson: You want to hear Jack’s voice?! You can’t handle Jack’s voice!  One of the most impersonated voices of all time had to make a showing in the bracket.  He’s had too successful a career to not be included.  So Here’s Jackkkkk!


Kiefer Sutherland: Most of you know Kiefer as Jack Bauer from 24, where’s he’s constantly shouting at people about bombs and his wife and his children…It’s gets rather repetitive.  Regardless, Kiefer made a name of his voice, and he was chosen by the Call of Duty franchise to do a voice over for the game: Now that’s badass. 

Ted Williams: We’re not talking about Red Sox Legend #9 here, we’re talking about the homeless guy from Cleveland who came out of freaking nowhere to become famous for his robust voice. 

Dennis Haybert:  Who?? I know, that’s what I said at first.  But then HoundDog and Brightside told me that he’s the Allstate Commercial guy and the President from 24.  Yeah, I went from hating hard on this guy to hoping he can pull off a final four run. 

Dikembe Mutumbo: Come again, big guy? This freakish NBA center has one of the oddest and most indiscernible voices of all time.  Words can’t describe it. Just make sure to watch the video.
