Is there a name for that style of male singing that’s kind of over the top, baritoney grunge? Eddie Vedder is definitely an early example (see “Yellow Ledbetter”) but the style was brought to perfection and therefore killed by Scott Stapp, the singer for Creed.
Today I was listening to Amoreena, the Elton John song, and Elton’s got a bit of that heya yeaheeyeah too. I wonder how far back that goes

I don't know if there is a name for that, but it's I was a big fan of Creed when I was a kid. I didn't know until a few years ago that they were cringe for many Americans. Don't be a English native speaker makes harder to be more critical about English lyrics.
They’re cringe but so much so that they came out the other side and people dig them again
Many Americans are losers. A significant proportion of those losers are the ones who find Creed to be cringe. QED
