I mean come on, just because you can hit high notes, it doesnt mean that you can sing, come on!!! I think Mariah Carey's voice is good, but after a while, her voice can get a little annoying...she always hitting those damn high notes! Granted, I hate her latest CD along with her greatest hits, but I wouldnt dare put her before Freddie! I swear, I never get tired of listening to Freddie's voice! Does anyone agree with me? Here goes the list: link Not that it means anything, We ALL know who should be #1!!!

Blige Michael Stipe Sade Bruce Springsteen Sorry, MTV, but this is ridiculous. Most of the listed are well-known artists who have new material in the charts. And some are kind of "legends" who are featured in each and every poll. What about those who are not active anymore, who proved 15 or 20 years ago, that they were great singers? Where are the non English speaking? Where, for god's sake, is Aretha Franklin?? And Eminem didn't even prove that he can sing yet ...

I like your female singers but what about Barbara Streisand, Christina Aguilera? As annoying as I find Barabara sometimes, I think she's the best female singer in my lifetime.

Sinatra is on the list. And I agree about Barbra Streisand, but shouldn't Linda Ronstadt be there, too?

Linda Ronstadt absolutely is great too. She can sing the pants off anyone. She sang rock, country, New Wave, hard rock, pop, jazz, standards, R&B, maharichi. Hell, she has sang every musical genre I can think of. Christina Aguilera or Pisstina Aquafina as I call her is a show-off and is just as bad as Mariah or Hoeriah as I call her. Alicia Keys is good as well.

What makes Linda Ronstadt so much better than these pop diva hoo haw's is that she has such great vocal control, stability, and range. She isn't following up each word she sings with a breath; breathy singing isn't good singing. What sealed the deal with me respecting her voice was when she did standards. People don't realize just how hard it is to sing them; back in the day, singers HAD to be good, because the songs required talent. Now, ANYONE can sing, and make millions. I'd like to see Britney Spears attempt to sing a standard. Not only would she butcher it, but she'd die of vocal strain. Cheers

Britney can't sing. In fact, her vocal cords were damaged from her two pack a day smoking habit. No wonder she lip synched in concert and complained about being out of breath on stage.

I know. It's embarrasing to think that she somehow made it as a singer. She must have sucked a lot of dick to get where she is. Cheers

onelonelypussycat wrote: Why does everyone HATE Britney Spears....? What has she done personally to us other than hurt our ears :) lol But seriously, I cant hate on Britney, she's doing her thing, hell, if I couldnt sing, but could still sell some records, I'd do it with the quickness too! Dont you guys understand? This is sad but its the truth: Image sells before the music does, the quailty of music doesnt matter...I'm telling you...actually the quailty does matter to a certain extent, but the image is what really counts, and if the artist/band is marketable! Vocals are seriously the least of the mattter, as long as you can carry some sort of note. I know a lot of singers who sound great, but they've only had minor hits. Sex sells also...but artist nowadays overdue it (Britney and Maddonna's kiss at the VMA's!!) Hell, even Queen had a song out called "Fat Bottomed girls." But they didnt overdue it, which is refreshing, but then again, I havent listened to all of Queen's records, just clips over the internet. If you aint talking about shaking that ass, you aint gonna sell no records (being sarcastic!) Being seriously, when it comes down to it, sex sells!

The only person that I care to meet is JESUS...seriously!!! Now that would be someone to meet!!

LadyMoonshine, no hard feelings and I apologize if I ever took shots at you as BPP can anger me at times(handshake offered to end feud). I agree with you, B*tchney as I call Britney, got turned down by EVERY label but some bro at Jive which was a predominantly black R&B/rap label probably offered her a deal after he had intercourse with her. Luckily her career is falling down the toilet as her erratic behavior, which made Syd Barrett's seem normal in comparison, is killing her. She only made it cos people liked how she looked, she is a trashy facsimile of one of my best friends!

(BESIDES FREDDIE, BONO AND DAVID BOWIE) Here is my top 10 best voices in music 1.Freddie 2.Steven Tyler 3.David Bowie 4.Bono 5.Bruce Springsteen 6.Christina Aguilara 7.Michael Jackson 8.Brian May 9.Elvis 10.Kurt Cobain

that's almost as bad as the origional list

Lou Reed? Prince? Phil Collins? Johnny Cash? Bob Dylan? ...to name so FEW. And that's just the male singers! Tina Turner, Barbara Streissand, Kate Bush, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Sinead O'Connor, Martha Reeves, Grace Jones etc. etc. Oh, and IMO (and many others I'm sure..I HOPE) Brian May and Roger Taylor. Hell, let's not even forget Serj Tankian from System of a Down! I think he's a better singer than Christina Aguilara. @always and forever: I'm not attacking you personally, or your musical tastes because every single person you mentioned on your list CAN sing..and most of them I'm a big fan of!If we were listing random artists in no order, that are good singer than fine. But to say that Bono is a better singer than Elvis, and Christina Aguilera is better than Michale Jackson - is a complete joke. ..and that's just taking artists from YOUR list. What about taking someone and comparing it to the artists I mentioned above, or millions others that are better.
