As a short guy, I always look at Prince as my inspiration.
He’s a legend

Fr I really hate my height which is 5‘5
The funniest thing about this video is all of the singers I thought were tall are short and all of the singers that I thought was short are actually tall.
With the short ones a lot of it is camera trickery. I never had an idea billy ocean was so short till I made this
@@DataWatch.
5 8" is the ultimate height for a man.
@@fender1000100 I’m about that 😁
EXACTLY! I had no idea Joe Jackson or Stevie Wonder were so tall! Probably because they’re always behind the piano!
@@marias8007 you are not suggesting he’s 5’8? 🤣🤣
Great video! It's crazy how artists look so much taller than they are in concert and tv ! Happy to see a lot of favourite ones!
Thank you for that nice comment! Makes the toiling worth it 😊

Lies again? Marine Soldier
I met Elvis in early 1972 a few months after his 37th birthday . In L.A. I was 21 and at the time a solid 5' 10 . I was wearing Flag Brothers zipper ankle boots about a one and a half inch heal.he was in black ankle boots to. ( I purposely looked. ) from what I saw there was no lift and his boot heal seemed about the same. He didn't have a pompadour , his hair was swept to the side ..I can say that he was easily six foot. In his early days he looked taller because of his pomp. Which Added about two to three inches. Plus he was very lean , like a rail which made him Look even taller. ..
BTW heck of a nice guy.
Thanks. He’s always claimed he was 6 foot. I took the reading from celeb heights and the height is basically an estimation based on peoples opinion. And btw I’m only a minute fraction off here. Thanks again
Elvis's drivers license,and death certificate have him at 6'-1"
And since when is Snoop Dogg considered a singer?
@@rscottdoan1 he’s a rapper. Did you read the opening credit? Funny about Elvis because he only ever claimed to be 6’ and I only have him less than 1cm off.
It would be nice to meet him in person, let's go!
@@zzzzxxxx341 sure would
The thought of Prince's height never crossed my mind but wow at 5'2" he was a tiny man !
I thought Art Garfunkel was really tall with Paul Simon beside him but he was only 5'9" !
I'm surprised that Michael Jackson was as tall as 5'9".
I would never had guessed Andrea Bocelli was 6'1½" !
Always fun viewing !
Thank you
Yep. An average height guy looks tall next to Paul Simon.
@@scottmcneely1927 haha yes
lol,,, too always thought Garfunkel was tall….he WAS compared to Simon! lol😅
Peter Steele from Type O Negative was approx 6'8" or maybe slightly taller... Type O started their careers in the 1980's or 1990's. so definitely 20th century.
Good compilation though, so thank you :)
I’ve made a tallest singers video……

I was thinking he would be the tallest. And yet he wasn't on the list. 😔
@@smith97320, I was disappointed not to see him.
actually i seen him in person, hes 6-7 and a solid 265 lbs of muscle ,looks like an nfl tight end, very cool guy, rip
Nice work brother... I think a lot of hard works were there😳 and this is what actually your audience looks for I think... with the views😃❤️
Btw didn't know snoop dog is that tall😐
It seems so mate. And thank you
Just blew my mind that Billy Ocean is only 5 foot 3. I thought he was over 6 feet tall.
The camera and the tricks it can achieve is a wonderful thing
Me too as well also.
That was the biggest surprise to me. I always assumed he was tall.
I knew just a few time that Billy Ocean was shorter than i thought. I always imagine he was taller than he is.
I don't believe this, it's got to be a wind up 😂😂😂
Can’t believe a lot of great musicians were this short? Mind blown 🤯. It seems most are? I guess that’s the trade off? Musical talent. Billy Ocean at 5’ 3” freaked me out. Don’t worry Billy, I’m still a fan 😎
Size doesn’t really matter I suppose
Wtf its music not sports dude
A singer heard a guitar track I had done for a session and was looking for a guitar player - As soon as he saw I was 5 11-1/2 he said see ya - tall gals lose gigs - hahaha - TG for studios. BTW you missed Jack White - great guy I met a few times in Nashville. So was Leon Russell - surprised me that they were basically height opposites of what I expected. Leon shorter than me and jack taller.
@@sue08401: I doubt that he realised there was a half attached ... not until you told him.

Omitted two of the finest ever male rock singers.
Paul Rodgers (5' 8") and
Ronnie James Dio (5' 4").
I omitted many great singers. Some of the rock singers that are in the video were actually pointed out by a friend of mine. I’m not really a rock music fan. Apologies again
@@DataWatch. No problem. Can't include them all!

No Davy Jones.
Neither are rolling stone crap magazine darlings, soooooo ;)
So weird how the ones I thought were shorter (eg Joe Jackson) were tall and vice versa (eg Billy Ocean). Amazing video! We’ll done!! 👏
I think with billy they tried to make him look taller because it wasn’t so cool for him to look so short. In his videos you rarely saw him full length close up. Camera tricks are a cool thing
Also Stevie Ray Vaughan at 5'3", Willie Nelson at 5'5", Ed Sheeran at 5'6" and Blake Shelton at 6'5".

Makes me feel better. I have always read that taller people make more money than shorter people, have less heart disease, are seen as more attractive, etc. This is all true but it is still good to know us shorter people succeed as well. We just have to try harder.
Good things definitely come in small packages
Maybe less heart disease for taller people, but more chances of sudden death heart attacks
@@djhrecordhound4391 😧
But Elvis Presley died of heart attack right ?💀
Tall people are more likely to get cancer.
Interesting to look at the distribution:
5 artists are 7" to 8" shorter than average, 20 are 4" to 6" shorter, 50 are 1" to 3" shorter, 40 are within 1" of average size, 59 are 1" to 3" taller, 7 are 4" to 6" taller and 1, the tallest, at 10" taller than average.
So it appears there's a bias towards shorter artists particularly at the far ends of distribution, with the shortest outnumbering the tallest over three to one.
Did you really do all that while watching? 🥸 🤪
@@DataWatch. 😆 -- Yeah, I'm kind of weird with statistics like this.

Daryl Hall 6’ 1” and John Oates 5’ 4”?? How did I not notice that difference? 😆
They probably did their best to disguise the fact
They probably didn't show them in the same shots a lot in their videos
TV performing appearances, live concerts...
My dad taught me from very young that the way to tell them apart was “tall Hall” and then of course there’s Oates lol. So, my dad is 5’4” and I think he always was looking out for other shorter people (heck I’m 5’1”!!!)

Reminder to short guys out there that the biggest sex symbols of the 20th century were 5'8" or below.
Very true
Yes, you can add Paul Rodgers at 5"5". Every inch sexy.
They were sex symbols due to fame. They wouldn't have been in real life without fame.
@@TheJpep2424 I disagree. I like them any height and they sure don't need to be famous to be sexy.
As are you I bet !!
I always thought Art Garfunkel was about 6 foot 4, but now I see he's just average sized. He just looked that tall next to 5' 3" Paul Simon.
Yes lol
Yes, Simon is so short an average height guy dwarfs him . Hall and Oates actually have a bigger difference in height.
@@scottmcneely1927 yip
Same with Sinatra standing with Martin. Always thought Dean was at least 6'-6-1 and towered over a short Frank at only 5'10. Frank was just that short.

He’s in part 2 mate, 21st century 👍
Or Ronnie James Dio.
I thought Boy George was between 5’6 and 5’8 for some reason. Never would’ve expected him to be 6’1. I had no idea LL Cool J was 6’3. I thought he was about 6 even
Made a mistake with ll. 6’2
Didn't realize Hobbits were such prolific singers.
Haha you said it not me 😂
what they lack in size, they have in talent. It's a fair trade.
I tried desperately not to laugh!😂
Also most of these artists are no longer on this plane of existence. But their timeless music and art remains their greatest legacy ✨️
Of course mate
Yes they almost all of them are alive still what are you talking about
Wow that's a comprehensive list ...it must have taken ages to compile...
Err yea mate head has gone 😂
It just goes to show you that a lot of these guys are short. But they have the biggest voices and are so talented. Steve Perry is small but his voice is King-size. He is the GOAT he so amazingly talented in everything. His voice is so powerful when he sings. It soars to the heavens above 🕊️🕊️✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥.
Totally agree
Being 5' 2" myself, they would all be perfect in my opinion. 😊
Yes being short has its advantages
@@DataWatch. 5' 2" is ok for a woman and if u fancy bein a bit taller u can wear heels, l've always preferred petite woman , opposites attract.👍
Damn I never realized how almost all singers are so damn short!
Yip
At 5'2 price was really really short for a singer but what he lacked in height he more than overcompasated with a powerful powerful voice:-)!
He sure did mate
Shortness pushes us short people to fight harder in life.
Keith Richards, " Prince really looks up to us, but then he doesn't have a choice really"!
@@neilreading3552 lol
There's a reason you never saw him without platform heels.
My uncle photographed prince for purple album cover
That's when I learned of his height and why he wore heels
People say it contributed to him being ill. Wearing heels was painful and caused him to be addicted to meds

Thank you for your work, it's really amazing.
Thank you. Very nice of you to say
Great video. Never knew Paul McCartney was so tall. And Paul Simon so short. You can never tell just by looking on TV or internet
This is so true friend
Look at some of the videos on the internet of 'Paul died in 1966' and look at his 'height' compared to John.
I knew Paul Simon was short, but I thought Garfunkel was tall, but not at all.
Check out the height of John, Paul and George in the Hello Goodbye sequence where they're in the white suits....the height difference between J, P, and G is very slight, if any....Ringo was clearly the shorter of the 4.
I never knew how short these big celebrities are/ were.
Yes. And most claim they are taller than they really are
@@DataWatch. Well their going to , fantasy land , the big screen u can be as tall as u like. 🤔
It was worth watching, 11:49 Mr. Morten PERFECT Harket present showing off, not only beautiful strong voice but also a good height... I love it
Thank you 😊
I know!!! 😍😍😍 I would have been crushed if he was 5'2 lol
I thought Bono was tall and James Brown was shorter. I was shocked about Kenny Loggins. I thought he was way shorter like 5 '7"
James brown might have been a little shorter when he was older. Regarding bono, maybe it was camera tricks
Please add David Lee Roth and Ian Curtis (Joy Division) - Curtis was 6’3” and David Lee Roth was/is over 6’
And Roger Waters of Pink Floyd (6’4”)
Think Roth and walters are both in the classic male singer video
Dio was 5'4, Klause Meine of the Scorpions is 5'4, Peter Frampton 5'8, Dee Snider 6'1, Blackie Lawless the singer from WASP is 6'4.
Thank you. I missed so many. I think because there were so many people here I’ve had lots of comments pointing out people I missed. Thanks
@@DataWatch. This is a great idea as well as a great list, I was happy to see a lot of favorites from the 60s - 70s. The Guess Who and BTO had a pretty big presence in the US during that time so I was a little surprised to see them (Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, Fred Turner) missing. I was even more surprised when I looked up their heights, always thought Cummings was near 6'. Always thought Steve Winwood was more like 6', but looked his height up and it appears you are correct. Not sure if I missed Joe Walsh? Tom Petty? Thanks for all your hard work!

He's 5'4".
As a young man once told me, he wasn't quite 6 feet tall, only 5 feet 12 inches. Many are not all tall as they wish, but big voices come from small men (Bobby Hatfield, Neil Sedaka, Frankie Valle, just to name a few).
5 feet 12? So 6 feet lol
Larry, and women too! I'm 5'3" and I have a big voice. Lydia Pence from Cold Blood is really tiny and has a big voice. Brenda Lee is really tiny and she has a big voice too. People always get shocked by that. I quite love it!

Great video, but I am disappointed you only did 3/4 of the Beatles. Also, it's hard to believe Roy Orbison was the tallest of the Traveling Wilburys listed.
Sorry about that
Some are quite tiny. But their personality, singing power and era (70s platforms) gave them height.
Hence why most people didn’t realise quite how short some were
Many heights are based on what the artists themselves claim. At the start of his career, McCartney was measured at 5-9. He claimed 5-11, but that was with the two inch Beatle boots. Today, with age, he is probably closer to 5-8.
I think he’s about 5’8 today. All of the Beatles except ringo claimed to be 5’11. I think my peak figures are fairly accurate. McCartney had the edge on the other two who I listed 5’10. You could maybe go down half an inch but I don’t think anymore. I’ve listed many of these guys less than they said they were or claimed to be
The real Paul McCartney was 5’9” when he died. 😉
@@DataWatch. Eric Clapton, David Bowie, and John Lennon are all 5'8". Mick Jagger might be 8'1/4".

@@davidcopson5800 yea you are correct I got the alert and when I looked you had changed the comment. You have no idea how long it takes to research the heights, get the images and clear all the backgrounds and then do all the editing. Serious work involved
Woah at 5'8 and now 58 year old female I was taller than most of these men.
Yes. Roughly my size lol
I've got a sister 64 yrs old and 5' 10". 👍
I'm 71 and 5'8. There are 2 women my age in my neighborhood and both come up to my shoulders. I hated being tall growing up but now it doesn't bother me.
I didn’t know Billy Ocean was THAT damn short!
I was the same
@@DataWatch. I thought he was like 5’10! How true is this?
@@Guitarist888 it appears it’s definitely true! Wherever you look it says the same thing
@@DataWatch. gotcha! Thanks for informing me.
@Guitarist 1988 His height surprised the heck out of me too! Would've guessed more like 5'10".
Here I am running down the play all popular uploads, have a great day mate. 1.2M awesome
Legend
Yes Prince was small…and I’m sure this was why he was so shy but on stage he looked so big .
Little man, big personality definitely
Joey Ramone was the tall man in Rock.
He’s in part 3….

Cool video..music was cool too !
Thank you so much
Did I miss Ringo Starr and Billy Corgan? Billy is 6'3", could have been included.
He’s in my tallest singers video
ua-cam.com/video/xmdyio2etcg/v-deo.html
This is how we do it! Montell comes in as the tallest, huh? Actually, I don't care how tall a singer is. Prince has always been a giant talent. And Otis Redding could have been 5 feet instead of 6'1 and I still would have loved him!
Of course! Good things come in small packages
Yep if u've got the talent, doesn't matter what height u are.
Getting lots of comments on this one Mark. I'm here to see them whilst, I help with the puppies.😊. Have a great weekend mate 🥂
Thanks mate
Good grief! It wasn't until you got to Luther that I no longer felt like a height freak. Good God, everyone is short!
You did forget Davy Jones (5'3") and Peter Cetera (5'11).
Didn’t realise Davy was only 5’3. Thanks and sorry if they were your favs
no one forgot its not a list of every singer
@@TheJpep2424 Chicago was pretty popular in the 70s and 80s. Terry Kath was vocal on a lot of their 70s hits until he passed.
No mention of Joey Ramone at 6'6"?
🤔🤔🤔
What about Pete Steele,he was 6'8"
wow, for some reason I always thought that Johnny Cash was a short man, about 168-170 cm
Ouch 🤕
I am really surprised by Rod Stewart's height!! I still have doubts if is accurate or not... By the way he always had very very tall ladies as wives... Maybe he just looked short in comparison to them. 🤷♂️
I sort of agree. Maybe that’s what it is. I’m guessing he’s only 5’7 or just over today like
Rod Stewart is not 5'10" LOL Are you kidding me? For comparison look at Ronnie Wood or Jeff Beck in any of their videos both of whom stand 5'9" on a good day. I know someone who dated him and she said he was 5'5" without his heels on.
No chance Rod is 5 ft 10!
@@SIRDKA www.celebheights.com/s/Rod-Stewart-252.html
Based on peak height he can’t be far away. Obviously shorter now he’s an old man. Please appreciate I can’t measure these people so peak height is the only way to go. Not 5’5 not even near. He only looks about six inches shorter than his 6’1 wife when she wears heels
Rod Stewart is about 5' 5". I know someone who got in a lift with him once. Said he was tiny.
Wow ..these TALENTED artists are sooo Short
Some yes
Great video. Always thought Alice Cooper was short! Eric Burdon and Keith Richards missing!
Didn’t realise richards was a singer. Thought he was more a musician
@@DataWatch. Well he has had a few solo albums and always sings one or two songs on each Stones album since the 60s. I'm a fan, lol.
@@Blondie101010100 ok I stand corrected on that one 😊
@@DataWatch. He's 5'10" too 😉😉😁
@@Blondie101010100 thanks
Damn, glad to know I'm taller than Prince and in same height as Brian Johnson. I thought I was a lonely dwaft
I don’t think 5’5 is actually that short. One of my male friends is 5’2
Now do you sounds a squealing pig?
Shocked to know that Bono and Phil Collins are both just around 5'6"! I thought they'd be a lot taller because they're from the UK like the guys from DD and SB who are generally tall.
I get you but many Uk guys are short too
I was surprised at Bono but I heard Phil say he was a shorty awhile ago. I thought Bono was 5’8 or 5’9!
Bono is Irish, not from the UK. I think that Irish people get annoyed if someone calls them British.
@@Lampur Isn't Ireland *part of the UK?* I never said he's "British". I said *FROM THE UK.*
@@ponypower8 No it isn't, the Republic of Ireland is an independent country and is not part of the UK. The United Kingdom includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Bono is an Irishman born in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
I'm not Irish or British but Spanish, so it doesn't really concern me, but I think the Irish don't like to be seen as British or English, especially since England invaded, subjugated and colonized Ireland for centuries.
Great video 👍
@@interested2119 thanks, just making an 80s music stars one, be way better than this one
@ Fantastic thanks for your hard work
@@interested2119 thanks again
This makes me not feel so bad being 5'10", though that may as well be 5'3" to a lot of American women.
I get you. I’m less than 5’10 and don’t feel so short
5’10 was the overall male average height
@@lalaribbon7281 it’s around that in 1st world countries but worldwide average is a little less.
I'm sitting here thinking I was a 5'9 teenage girl in the 80's. I'm very glad that I had no idea most of my teen crushes were soooo short. It would have seriously ruined my life then. 😬
Suppose it depends who your crushes were lol
Because short = bad?
@@boxsterman77 like me then 🤣
@@inkedsleeve4226 🤔
Don't worry, they would have found you soooo tall....
Some of these I knew some of these I didn't, very informative... Another great video
I didn't expect Prince and Billy Ocean to be that short. I thought Prince would be about 5'7". I imagined most artists to be 6' or taller. I would be towerring over Prince at 5'11. But he'd still take my girl , smh
Haha
Prince was a very small man. He had a 24" waist and wore the equivalent of a woman's size 7 shoe (I toured Paisley Park recently that's how I know)
This is fascinating. I had no idea Phil Collins is taller than anyone.
Haha. He’s not very tall though lol
That's a curious comment. He's got to taller than many people.
@@davidcopson5800 You have a point. I was at the Angels game this last Saturday, I did see a couple in front of me that were shorter than Phil Collins. The Angels blew the game (Bullpen issues).
Great Comparison Mate once again 😊
Legend mate. Yours not a million miles away now 😉
I have seen a lot of these singers live. They often look much taller on stage. As for Michael Jackson, I read that in his autopsy report that he was 5'10 and 135lbs.
He might have been. Just according to celeb heights
135??!!! That's really underweight for a 5'10" Male. Was he really that skinny??
@@ponypower8 yes but remember he had some issues with perception drugs.
@@ponypower8 You're telling me? I thought that he was wearing big clothes in the THIS IS IT movie, until, later, i've noticed that it was normal sized clothes.
Nowhere near 5' 10"
I call 'foul'.. Elvis was certainly over 6ft. Many even said 6'1".
www.celebheights.com/s/Elvis-Presley-638.html
Possibly. Just went by this
Nope. He was between 5'11 and 6 ft
At 6'1" ... he WOULD be over six feet!
@@jallan9578 🤣
I go to Hard Rock in Atlantic City often and they have tons of musician apparel(suits,dresses,stage outfits etc) and one thing I always notice is how physically small the majority are and not just in height.
I bet
I’m 6’3 and I’ve stood next to LL Cool Jay and I remember being slightly taller than him but maybe my memory is failing. Very nice guy btw.
No I think he’s slightly less
google says hes 6'2...
i work in roomservice. i was face to face with him. he was barefoot. im 6’ foot- he was shorter than me. if he had shoes on he might of been my height maybe
@@jerryswindle maybe he’s shrunk, he must be 50 odd now 🤔🤔
It's hard to believe that the lead voice for ACDC comes out of someone who's only 5'5. Dio is another one like that at only 5'4
So true
Ditto Bruce Dickinson at 5'6"! Not that it matters, but really thought he was taller than that.
@@petealdridge821 yes mate
everyone in AC/DC is about five feet tall.
我相信影片做了非常詳盡的核實 但畢竟某些藝人的真實身高非常難以取得 我相信裡面還是有些藝人的身高是錯誤的 例如說某兩個藝人在上面的影片呈現一樣高，但實際上是一個高一個矮 很明顯 （這樣的例子我注意到好幾個）
I mean anyone can say that without elaborating 🤷♂️
Should have included Ronnie James Dio, Kind Diamond,Gene Simmons,Joey Ramone
I know 2 of them. Honestly I thought this list was super big already, apologies
@@DataWatch. it is and I loved it
And Tom Petty.

Yes average height not short under 5ft 9inches you can say short

Syd Barrett was 5'11". David Gilmour is 6'0". Roger Waters is 6'3". You forgot them.

Great video… Missing Sebastian Bach, Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Jonathan Davis, Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell and Jay-Z
Not sure if jay z is in part 2, 21st century singers. There’s a classic male singer video and a tallest male singer video, some of those names are in those videos
I had no idea Steven Tyler was so short.
Few surprises here
5'9 isn't short. It's average male height in the U S.
Steven Tyler is taller... He is 1.77 cm
