A Compare/Contrast Music Essay

I'm writing a music essay now.
It's the compare and contrast essay about the song "In darkness let me dwell" written by John Dowland, sung by three
different singers, Anne Sofie von Otter (mezzo-soprano), Andreas Scholl (countertenor), and Sting (a pop(jazz?) singer, tenor).

How difficult it is to describe their singing way when I don't have so much vocabulary for English adjectives.
Oh, well.

Even with a presumably adequate vocabulary in English I would find it very difficult to describe the differences between voices.
But that is perhaps because I have no musical training. Since you understand music, maybe this will not be as difficult as you think.

I wrote the essay by putting many metaphors for each voice, and handed in on last Thursday.
I hope the teacher feels OK.
