The Top Ten

1
Kim Jaejoong
Kim Jaejoong is a great singer, his singing is probably not the best but he must be the most effort, he dance may not be the best but he is certainly the most desperately. Debut for so many years, he was very humble, he is the best in my heart
Jaejoong is a great singer and composer. He has very beautiful and healing voice. Jaejoong is a real artist! He is amazing!
Kim Jaejoong is one of the best singer in Asia, his magnetic voice attracts millions girls from all over the world. Besides, he is also the real artist, as he composed many famous songs for his group. In addition, he is also a new star as a actor. Kim Jaejoong is my life!

2Freddie Mercury
His style can't be even competed today
The only person who understands the true value of voice and hands is called freddie mercury
The only reason MJ is on top is because he received stacks of sympathy votes. Freddie has got the best voice I've ever heard. Sure MJ is a good dancer, but his voice compared to Freddie's; there's no comparison
RIP FREDDIE
Most amazing voice of all time. Freddie Mercury sang great rock ballads, amazing rock anthems, and wonderful operatic rock. Also, perhaps some of the most widely known music of all time (such as We Will Rock You) along with some less known gems (such as Show Must Go On). Wonderful range, sound, and spirit.

3Michael Jackson
A man, a legend, an icon. He could sing 4 octaves when the average singer sing 2 to 2 and a half octaves. By far the best voice ever, by far being able to very low to very high. RIP a Legend
He is the King of Pop! He is the Biggest Pop Star of All Time! He has the most selling album of all time! God Bless You Michael!
Best singer! One of the best singer till now. Why I don't know people say any thing of him? Rip mj. Some people still enjoy songs by you

4Adam Lambert
Have almost run out of words to describe Adam Lambert. He is awesome. Having seen him on tour I have to say that you can actually FEEL his voice in your body. His resonance is so strong that it is rather like feeling the drums at a rock concert... It envelopes you.. He is the best and can't wait for his next album out soon.
Adam Lambert is the best, most exciting, and dynamic singer of this generation. His voice has an incredible range and he controls it perfectly. He is simply amazing!
Adam has the best voice on earth, hands down, not even close. This guy can also entertain you, draw you in with his sex appeal, like no other. Adam Lambert is a genius!

5Steve Perry
He's amazing! He can sing the phone book and it would be brilliant! He's the Breathe that gave Journey Life. He is one man, one voice with millions of adoring, faithful fans!
Few can sing with the emotion and timbre that he does. His legendary voice has deepened, mellowed, and gotten grittier (in a good way) but still brings a magic and beauty that is untouchable. His songwriting is incredible, I do hope he will treat is to more of his creations. But if not, what a gift to have been able to enjoy the recordings that exist.
The best voice ever, that's why he's nicknamed " THE VOICE". He's hoping the rumours are true and he's bringing out a new album

6Elvis Presley
Who ever made this list is messed because Elvis should be at the top

soccer_rox

He is the best vocal ever, the most powerful and full of soul and feelings. He should be at the first place
what is going on here? why so low?

7Josh Groban
Josh Groban is by far the best male singer out there at the moment, he's not in league with anyone else. His music is genre-less, it can't be easily categorised. He is admired and respected by those in the music industry who have made it to the top - which is where Josh belongs. He'll be around for a long time to come! His voice is both soothing and upbeat to listen to, he sings from the heart and the lyrics of his songs have real meaning and are beautiful to hear. I like the fact that this young man doesn't try to emulate anyone else, he's "Just Josh" who has real talent as well as being a kind and giving person.

Jerusha

What can I say? He plays well to the very young to the very old. I think that he is someone that the teenager and an octogenarian can listen to in the same room and at the same time with equal enjoyment! I guess you could say that he in his own way bridges the generation gap. This could only be done with a tremendous amount of talent.
Josh Groban is a wonderful singer. I love his music and his voice. I only wish he is a bit more open on other genres. There are times I don't feel motivated finding his music... But still he is one of the best out there. He is also one of the celebrities I really wish to meet and wish that he sings to me personally. Love ya Josh!

8David Archuleta
He has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard!
I Heart David!
He's just such a good singer! He should be in the top twenty!
The most talented singer on earth bring him up to the top 10 list! We can do it Arch Angels! Spread the word
He doesn't need auto tune. He doesn't need backup singers, dancers, change of clothing, light effects during his concerts. All he needs to lift everyone off their feet is his voice.

Not to mention his personality, which separates him from other fame obsessed artists. He doesn't try to act cool or try to fit in, his goofy and awkward side is good enough to inspire ALL his fans to contribute to society, to help those in need.

I could write a book about David. What more can be said?

9Bruno Mars
He has the most amazing voice, and is just gorgeous! How is he so low down this list?
bruno mars voice is awesome, he should be higher in this list, the notes this guy can hit its just crazy =D

10Kim Junsu
Kim Jun Su's voice is really good to listen to! Too many powerful awards? The sound is also known as "Asia's wealth. " ~ really is more precious than gem voice! While mom and Dad don't understand Korean, but also feel pretty good voice ~ I will always love a handsome, supporting the beautiful, the weather is very cool Oh ~ pretty to protect a good voice, to show the fans more beautiful voices Oh ~ I love you Kim Jun Su

Xiah is a real singer. I think he is the best singer I love him forever
When I first heard his songs I was attracted by his voice I hope that everyone can hear his songs I am sure you will love him! My dear, Kim Junsu!
Junsu's one of the few member of kpop band who are good at both singing and dancing! Check out xiahtic and intoxication! You'll see how good he is at dance! And listen to every song he sing! He is just amazing! Junsu fighting!

The Contenders

11John Lennon
John Lennon is the best singer I have ever heard, and better yet, the best singer of all time. Better than Elvis, and better than everyone else for the matter. His voice is raw, real, seductive, and perfect for rock n' roll all at the same time. Goes to show just how his voice can sound in many different tones, not a lot of singers can sound like he could.
John was not just the most influential person in history but he is without a doubt one of the most sensational singers I have ever heard. Having that avenged sevonfold guy and Chris Brown ahead of him is an absolute outrage.
John Lennon without a doubt deserves to be at least in the top 10. His voice is so beautiful, so melodic and perfect. If you listen to The Beatles' cover of Please Mr. Postman you can see just how rich and vibrant his voice is. It's amazing how he could adapt his voice to the different moods of songs. V

12Sonu Nigam
The Man is the Universe of Music in himself to form the perfect and best amalgamation to be capable of almost all possible kind of Music in existence...

May it be any Language, Raagas', Pitch, Type of Musical form, type of Voice, etc doesn't restrict or effect his Singing possibilities or capabilities... When it comes to Music SONU NIGAM is "Infinity"

For me He is the 'God of Music' with all due respect... From Rahul Pandey

13Menowin

17 is definitely much too far away from top. Menowin is so special and he should be in the Top Three! Current Top Two are fantastic anyway!

When I hear him singing my soul gets peaceful and delight. When I look into his eyes I must take care not to loose myself. And I'm really wondering about what happened to me!

Menowin is the voice, the dancer after Michael Jackson. He had the most beautiful eyes of the world.

14Rhydian
We must never forget the superb singers that are already stars, but when a new one rises it is always a wonderful feeling - and Rhydian is one such new star that will be at the top and beyond for ever.

To discover Rhydian is to discover heaven!

KITT

Not to have heard Rhydian sing is missing out on a wonderful opportunity to hear a master at work. His voice is wonderful. He is young, charismatic and sings from the heart. Spell-binding.

Jay Chou, 2000 years after the Asian pop music with the most revolutionary

18Chester Bennington
No doubt linkin park is so successful now, or else, they could have been the same with mark wakefield, but it is chester who made the show. Chester indeed is the best.
He's amazing. He can sing a variety of music, from Adele to Linkin Park music, and makes Linkin Park one of the best bands out there.
He can scream louder than all of the rock bands combined, after all he is the chester bennington

19Paul McCartney
Oh my goodness... how the hell is Macca, the most succesful musician of all time, in 193?! One word can explain it: ludacris.
Best songwriter that's ever lived. He should never be on no 86, it's crazy! Even John Lennon should be below him I believe he was by far a superior Beatle!
I love Paul McCartney. He has a beautiful voice, and he should be nr. 1! I can't believe he is so low. It is just unbelievable. Have you heard his voice on Let It Be? It is just so beautiful. Who voted differently. Byr.

20Stevie Wonder

21Park Yoochun
Park Yoochun is the best singer and he can dance very well His English

Park Yoochun is a well rounded artist. He is a good singer, dancer, and composer. He can play the piano as well. As of his acting skills... He is very well known for his charming personality!

BEST BAND EVER! I mean its amazing and one of a kind voice which makes Robert stand out from all of the others. Truly Inspirational Talent.
Most of the guys in the Top Ten don't deserve the honor of it. Robert Plant is one of the most respected singers of all time and have influenced countless other artists. 'Nuff said.

24Morten Harket
His voice is so soft, but can also be so powerful. He has such a good range, and is excellent live. You won't get another singer like morten. A-ha the best band ever, and I hope they will be back.
Morten has an amazing voice, those high notes are incredible. No one else comes close in mine and many others opinions. Oh and he's absolutely gorgeous even at 52. Looking forward to seeing him live in Manchester next May!
He can still hit the high notes at his age. He is good.
i still like listening to him. Wish I could actually see him perform live.

Usher and Justin Bieber better than Eminem?
When Justin Bieber was 10 years old Eminem was already one of the best rappers.

27Matt Bellamy
His voice haunts my dreams... oh don't get me wrong, I love every minute of it. But as a musician that prides himself on being able to do anything any other singer can... there are two I can't touch. Freddie Mercury... and Matt Bellamy.
What has happened to all the people? COMPARE MICHAEL JACKSON AND BELLAMY! Matt must be the first, not the 25.
His voice is like pure gold... He's the new Freddie Mercury!

28Prince
You're Joking right this man has an amazing voice and yet he's not even in the top 100 does anyone here remember Let's go crazy, Purple Rain, la la la means I love you, I wanna be your lover? Prince could sing at Michael Jackson's level in a split second.

This man had and still does today, incredible vocal range that can hit high pitch to low pitch without even the slightest bit error well maintaining a level of lust, soul and Rb with some rich and fulfilling pop music which you simply can't get today.

Prince was a legend and still is along with many more talented singers from the past who aren't receiving the credit they deserve and it's disgusting on how the new generation thinks what they got is real music.

Here's a little question you can ask yourself. who do you think influenced today's singers?
He really has a wide range.
He's the King of Music!

31K. J. Yesudas
Best Male voice. Outstanding in treble and bass. He can sing at higher octave in sync with violin and move down to one of the deepest bass voices in a single flow. The mood he creates, especially in devotional songs and sad songs is incomparable. A person born to sing and who has dedicated his life to sing.
Great voice, smooth yet strong. He can reach to the very low pitch and has immense bass and power in the voice.

32Tom Chaplin
Truly an amazing & gifted singer. He is fabulous on recordings, but to experience his vocals live is a definite must! I was completely blown away from the first Keane gig I attended & I think his voice just gets better & stronger each time. He has such power & high range which in my humble opinion is unbeatable. He has the ability to carry those soaring choruses & yet convey such heart-wrenching emotion that makes my spine tingle like no-one else I ever heard. Tom Chaplin definitely gets my vote every time & twice on Sundays!
He has an extraordinary voice that reaches peaks of rare power. Live is amazing and has a charisma unmatched. One can not help getting caught by his performance.
He has a lovely range, and his voice reminds me of Freddy Mercury. Tom's defintely the most amazing singer of the last decade!

He can sing a jrock song and do it awesome
He can sing a christian song and he do it awesome
He can sing a jazz song and do it awesome
He can sing a r&b, pop, ballads anything and he can do it awesome.

He is amazing! He can make the better high note in this world! He can sing everything, ballad, rock, pop. Everything and with his special style!
Anyone who's heard the notes he can hit, will know just how good of a singer he is. Just listen and you'll see.

35Jimmy Barnes

Jimmy would perform better live than in the studio. Never let the crowd down. Strongest most powerful voice in history. Just bloody awesome!

I'd place Freddie Mercury in first place and Jimmy Barnes in his prime, around 1984, in 2nd place. Listen to When The War Is Over by Cold Chisel (Jimmys old band). Grundy rock into extremely high notes in Full head voice.


36Jung Yunho
I love leader jung yunho.. He is capable man, his voice and his dace are great! Well he is lovely person.
I love his beautiful voice and dance Â'tÂ's a leader of TVXQ And HeÂ's an excellent person.
It is hard for you not to admire him with his modesty. In spite of his popularity, he still act so frankly whenever and wherever he go, whatever he do. He works so hard that you can hardly find anyone can be compared with him. He is always keep on marching, and nothing can beat him down! I am so proud of being his fan~!

38Andrea Bocelli
Something about his voice, its hard to describe, sends you to a wonderful place and touches your soul. Love Luciano too, and he has more power but Andrea is more versatile as far as singing in different genres (and excelling). They would be my top 2
It's hard to understand how this man is not at the top of the list... Comparing him to some of the others here is a bit absurd. I mean, who's better, Bocelli or Beiber... Seriously
The angelic quality of this man's voice is unmatched! If this is to be about music and voice, then he should without a doubt be in the top 10 if not indeed #1.. Of course if it's about how he wiggles about on the stage, well that's an entirely different story! ;)

richie4life

The lead guitarist of Bon Jovi. Listen to his solo 'fathertime', and realize what the word 'power' means. disregarding his title 'king of swing' and dubbed as one of the 'guitar gods' in rock history.

Love Richie's voice. He has that deep voice that is amazing when he really lets it out.

41George Michael

the best male vocal from the last 25 years.
the best song writer ever
the best composer
the singer ever
the best live performer I've seen live,
songs like carless whisper, a differente corner, Jesus 2 a child, fast love, older, a moment with u, Amazing & a couple off covers & duets
makes him Nº1 IN THIS DAYS BEST MALE VOCAL EVER

He is THE artist. Some can sing, some can write, some can dance, some can produce, but only HE can cover the whole spectrum! His songs just brilliantly flow with is soul-jazz-esq voice. Certainly the best I've ever heard. He should be up on the top with Freddie Mercury, period.

for me one of most talented songwriters of all time and the lyrics are also unique plus incredible vocal. I listened him live and he didn˛t missed in three hours

Arnel can just do it all.. To step into Journey the way he did is an awesome statement to his talents.. Not only his voice but his stage presence.. And a huge credit to his deserving to be in the top!

44Brad Delp
Brad is Godly. His voice is full of passion, talent, and power. His lyrics are full of meaning, and the music... OH, THE MUSIC. Boston lives on forever.
Honestly, what the hell is up with how underrated Brad Delp is? He never appears high on the "best singer's" list, and in my opinion, along with Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, and Matt Bellamy, he's one of the top 4 voices of all time.
If you think Brad deserves to be this low on this list(103), you don't deserve the right to vote.

How can he be in the top 20. Man he's such a great singer so good excellent. Man singers like JB are above him. What a bad list.

There were so many good singers that I wanted to vote for! I kept changing my mind, but when I saw Bryan Adams I decided
I actually found out about him from watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, which is kind of funny haha, but he makes amazing songs with great lyrics. His voice is also amazing.
Bryan Adam rocks! (So does everyone else of this list (except Bieber))

He definitely is the best.. And his song are and always will be my favourite. This list is seriously insulting this great singer.

How isn't Michael Bolton near the top of this list, his voice is amazing!

One of the most unique distinctive voices and original style of singing.

Phil Collins at 62? todays punks ahead of Collins, Lenon? I have lot of respect for MJ. but Phil excells vocally over him. And he can even drum and sing at the same time? In the air tonight can alone take him to top five. this shows the lameness of this list

Philfan

Phil collins has amazing songs like "she seems to have an invisible touch" and "tell everybody I'm on my way" he should be in the top 40 at least. He's pretty good.
Member of genesis, with special singing voice, good and professional concert facility in future, could be horsens musicart city in denmark.

53Gackt

Gackt is TOP forever.
Greatest voice, musician and man.
Just look for his life!

Lucius

Gackt's voice is the strongest I've ever heard. He can sound like he is crying when he sings, he can hold a long note and make you breathless, not to mention his songs are epicly enchanting. I always hesitate to listen to his music b/c I can't handle all those emotions he puts into his singing. It touches my soul and I'm overcome with this bewilderment that makes me want to break down, and I'm not even Japanese! That's how amazing of a singer he is! Only his music can move me so much that I am afraid to listen to everyday, or else I'd be smiling/crying like crazy everyday. That's what music is suppose to do, it's suppose to touch your soul. Gackt is the definition of music.

I totaly agree he's the best of the best! I mean he can ripp your roof off!

58Justin Timberlake
Justin is the best! I love him with Britney and Christina.
Anyway, who is voting for justin bieber or Usher because there completely crap!

I'm surprised elvis, elton john and ozzy ozborune and not near the top!
But, Justin is still the best!
There isn't a single song of justin timberlake! All his songs are with awesome beats and awesome lyrics! I was shocked to see his name at the 56th rank! He surely should be in top 20 or somewhere! He deserves it!
He's very talented. I even do not remember any song, which isn't a real master-piece. Well done!

59Johnny Cash
How can he be under Justin beiber? The man was a great, he sang spiritual songs, classic country ones and rock 'n' roll at one point! His greatest recordings were live, he didn't mime! He could perform flawlessly without any auto tuners and was a lovely guy!
He asked my Grandma out at one of his concerts.! She turned him down because he was with my Grandpa.! I would love to be related to Johnny Cash.!
Jonny Cash just has a voice that makes you want to listen to him. It's a deep bass that shows feeling when he sings. He played guitar well but without his voice he wouldn't be the legend he is.

60R. Kelly

Truly at least he is open with liking young girl there are lot you men out there that are more scrum bags than R. Kelly who are molesting their own blood behind closed door. I do not condone R. Kelly behavior but if these girl were example they would not have allowed him to be intimate with them in the first place. However I believe R. Kelly should have ranked higher as he one of the best ARE ^^ B Singer, He is talented, gifted and blessed and has always produce #1 singles. It not be recently. That is my opinion and I am entitle to it!

It seems the mainstream will never recognize his true potential if he keeps doing hip hop, but his balladry is untouchable. A phenomenal range, can do every technique in singing... easily the best male R&B singer of our generation

73 smh enough' said 12 studio albums and over 8 million records sold get out of here people.


61Billy Joel
I love his voice and the songs he sings

62Miljenko Matijevic
Guys you should look to the top 10 rock singers ever borned mili is the best ever and trust me this man has supper poetic voice with a supper hight noted tone that nobody would see on earth
I think I was in a coma when this man's band came on the scene. I do not remember Steelheart, but when I tripped across the video for She's gone I went into a state of shock. This is the most amazing voice I have ever heard. The whole band is so talented. I'm a Grandmother but my husband caught me dancing my butt of listening to Mili. Thanks Milijenko my Police Officer husband thinks I've lost my mind.
seriously, listen to this guy. hes amazing

63Marvin Gaye

Come on, people. This man had what was most important: SOUL. He could make you feel whatever he was feeling just through the passion he put into every word. Justin Bieber? Please. Billy Joe Armstrong? Give me a break. James Hetfield?!?! MARVIN. GAYE. PERIOD.


64Sam Cooke

Sam Cooke was tremendous in his day. Wonderful World, Chain gang... Come on this list is a joke.

Same Cooke has one of the best singing voice ever.

My God is this the worst use of the internet ever! I am stained by even voting, but Sam Cooke had the greatest voice ever to be heard on Earth. Come on people, really?


65Justin Bieber
Justin's dad Jeremy has a criminal record for assault, and used to be in trouble with the police all the time. He's been in prison multiple times and Justin's grandfather wanted Justin to stay away from Jeremy when he was younger, as he thought he was a bad influence. His mom Pattie used to take drugs and alcohol, and her mom and herself were abused by her dad when she was a teenager and at the age of 17 she became pregnant. They lived in a squashed flat with mice and many other problems. Justin's bed doubled up as a sofa. He spent most of his time with his grandparents and Ryan Butler's family. Pattie suffered migraines and sometimes Justin had to look after himself. Justin was bullied in school because Jeremy was a criminal and he was poor. The other kids were jealous because he was so good at sports and Justin ignored the hate (not much changed here then? ) and people STILL have the nerve to say he had an easy life? He's so STRONG! Most kids in that position would be in jail by now. I hate to think that if Justin hadn't been found by Scooter he could be in the same position as his parents. I love you so much Justin And he has a beautiful deep voice, it's like an angel's voice... And he's such a great person. You gotta vote for him!
The fact that Justin Bieber was just a regular kid and now he inspires so many people gives a lot of people hope to believe in there dreams Justin sings about things that are real like always following your dreams love donating to charity he expresses his feelings using his lyrics which he writes which is what singing should be about and the fact that he has an amazing voice and a down to earth personality makes listening to his music even better and gives you an amazing feeling.
Justin Drew Bieber is my inspiration. His lyrics in his songs are just breath taking. I don't even see why he gets so much hate like come on he hasn't done anything to anyone except say the things that girls WANT to hear. He got bullied in school when he was younger because his mum couldn't afford clothes for him but look at him now.

66Mick Jagger
I just love Mick Jagger! He is still so hot! His voice is very sexy too! Mick has a unique quality in his performance and his voice. There is no one quite like him.
Lead singer and founding member of the Rolling stones.
Extremely talented, has been knighted and has a song written about him and his 'mones'.
Singer of rolling stones, good and professional concert facility in future, could be horsens musicart city in denmark.

67Kyo

His range in singing, screeching, and growling blows me away. Then, just as I think that his vocals couldn't get any better, he adds an indescribable amount of emotion; anger, hatred, sorrow, hopelessness, who knows what else. That's what makes him a great vocalist and artist and what makes him one of the best in the world.

Genius. God of all music. Jackson? Haha

tenthsage

Kyo is a great singer! He's voice is like... WONDERFUL!

68Rob Halford

Wow?! Just because a man can dance around he deserves to be in the top 10? People today don't know what real vocals are. If you did Rob would certainly be higher. Greatest Metal singer and Greatest Singer of all time.

One of the all time greatest singers for Heavy Metal

Unfortunately the majority of individuals voting on this would have not understand who Rob Halford is! Popular Music has nothing on the God's of Rock such as Rob Halford, Don Dokken, Blackie Lawless and not to forget Ronnie James Dio. Having an appreciation and an understanding of all genres of music will only provide one with an insight into what real music is about!

69Benjamin Burnley
Talented song writer and muusician. Can actually play lead guitar and is very nice and funny. He is sick a lot but continues to do what he loves.
He has a voice unlike any other. Fantastic live and he writes his own songs. Pure Talent.
He has such an amazing talent when it comes to his voice deepening during the lyrics. He's just one of those singers who speaks about the pain and agony he's endured throughout his life via his songs

70Chris Cornell
HE deserves to be at least in the top 10 he is by far better the Justin Bieber, I don't even care if I spelled his last name wrong this list is bogus and the creators should definitely come to their senses when they review this.
He super garet and I love he"s sweet vocie. I think he sould be at the # 1 stot ferddie murey sould be # 2. Puls, have you seen him on Glee he"s one fo my favorite guys singers of all time. I never change my mind. Because I love the way he is.
absolutely amazing. carries a style all his own exemplified through the work of Soundgarden.

71Hyde (L'arc-en-Ciel)

Hyde has an amazing vocal range... And the quality of his voice is just something that is perfect not only for rock music but also for any genre of music. Listening to him blows me away...

HYDE is the great singer in Japan..

Citra

With his amazing near-4-octave range (low E in Evergreen to High-High A in Hitomi no Junin) and rich velvety voice, Hyde ought to have been more widely-appreciated by the rest of the World!

72Andy Williams

Andy Williams is the best! Obviously, this list is just a popularity contest because he can sing better than about 95~~ of the people on this list. Saw him in person several times and never disappointed. He actually sings BETTER live than on recordings... That's because he's truly a talented singer and a terrific person as well, which shines through in his music.

The voice that god did not give to angels he gave to Andy williams: his voice has great range, pitch perfect, superb delivery and immaculate interpretation.

How can you not have the great 1960's and 1970's singer
(who still performs today in Branson) on this list?
Beautiful, warm voice.

75Mark Feehily
Mark Feehily is the best singer ever and I don't know what happens to people these days putting him on 214th. :s Well just to tell you, if you don't know him, search "Westlife" on youtube and listen to the sexiest voice you've ever heard. )
Marks unique voice is the best you can find in a male singer, he's like a male Adele! Mark feehily is the best singer in the world! Hope we can listen his amazing voice soon
Mark's voice is simply distinguishable and unique.
Go watch Westlife's Flying Without Wings (out of the many amazing songs) from their Farewell Tour and hear Mark hitting all the notes impeccably.
Truly the voice of an angel with the ability to touch hearts (:

76Serj Tankian
He is the best on the world! Enough said
Suprising his here he should be at least at 20
If you've an appreciation for voices, listen to something by System of a Down. Look, it's fine if you dislike that genre, but his voice is nothing short of flabbergasting. I'm confident anyone can appreciate this man's talent. In that vein, Shavo Odadjian also of System of a Down.

77Placido Domingo

78Kim Jonghyun

He is the best singer I had ever seen, with his long note & strong, soft voice that will make you die. If you didn't hear his voice yet just go to YouTube and write ( kim jonghyun so goodbye ). Then you will fell in love with him.

He's the best singer I had ever seen, with his strong, soft voice make you die, his voice just WOW.
if you didn't hear his voice just go and search about it just writ ( kim jonghyun so goodbye ) and you will fell in love with him

He is the best singer ever! He is not just perfect on looks but also in his high and low note. He is currently the lead vocal of Korean boy group, Shinee He can dance perfectly and his vocal can't be defeat. He can sing every genre of song you can ever imagine! Name it, "ballad" "pop" "poprock" and of course he can "rap" too! So, its never a waste to vote for him, Love, JongSyu

83Donald Braswell

Greatest crossover singer around today. Beautiful voice, handsome man can sing in any language. His opera is right up there with all the greats. No pop or rap singer can do what he can with total voice control. One of the most talented artists anywhere. He never screams (like so many pop singers do to cover up having no voice control) his high notes are pure magic never has to revert to screaming to hit the high notes. Like so many great singers he can carry a tune. Something most of today's popular pop singers can't achieve. Does great job composing and writing some of his songs, one of the most versatile singers anywhere can sing any style from pop to opera and everything in between, can sing Elvis' songs better than Elvis. Great talent, passionate performer with mesmerizing stage presence.


84Maxwell
Best singer eveR! I LOVE pretty wings and bad habits, He is also very handsome!

85Kurt Cobain

People don't apreciate good music that god gave us... That is so sad.. On this list there's just a couple of metal singers and that is the sadest thing...

He s genius, no need to write so much.. Just listen him!

While Kurt, iconic frontman of nirvana, may not possess the control and range of some other singers, he poured his heart inton his words like no other. He was also a real singer and artist, unlike about 95 percent of the singers ranked higher than. Some of my favorite songs which exhibit his voice, School, Lounge Act, Big Long Now, Frances Farmer will have her revenge on Seattle, Heart-Shaped Box, All Apologies, Where did you sleep last night?...

taeyang is part of the group bigbang.

His singing skills are amazing, all he has the best stage, driving the crowd crazy with his perfect body and undeniable dancing skills
He is simply the best of all.


89Roy Orbison
The one and only, no one else comes close. Everly Brothers are the greatest male duet ever. Roy Orbison was the only singer Elvis envied.
This whole list is absolute crap! Even Elvis said Roy Orbison is(was) the best singer ever!
Roy Orbison was the most naturally gifted male vocalist ever. Maybe other singers have been or are more entertaining but none could produce such perfect notes with so little effort.

90Nicky Byrne
He's AMAZING should be much much higher! Love him
NICKY NICKY NICKY NICKY! HOW CAN HE NOT BE THE BEST MALE SINGER! HE HAS SUCH AN AMAZING VOICE AND HE IS ONE OF THE KINDEST ANS SWEETEST MAN YOU'LL EVER FIND IN THE BUSINESS WORLD! VOTE FOR NICKY!
He is a great father, a great husband, a great singer and a great human being! He has the best voice ever and he should be voted for the Best Male Singer! HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST MALE SINGER IN MY HEART AND I HOPE PEOPLE VOTE FOR NICKY BECAUSE HE DISERVES IT!

92Bob Marley
Bob Marley is the personification of reggae!
bob marley is a god his music was and still one of the greats of alltime how he is not futher up this list is an engima to me
May have been somewhat stylistic, however his singing voice was not impressive. Consider comparing his actual voice to other singers. He doesn't stand well.

93Anthony Kiedis

I can't believe CHRIS BROWN was ut higher than anthony, he deeseveres top 20 sot and is one of the best singers ever

SoloStriker

He doesn't just have a great voice, He puts in the best lyrics too

Oh my! He must be on the top 10! He's voice is so angelic and I just love his hair! I love his The A Team, U.N.I. , Kiss Me, Lego House, Drunk, and so many many more! Wo! Go Ed :D

Chris Martin is honestly one of the best all time singers in the world, I can't believe he is not in the top 10 let alone the top 50 he's better than pretty much all the people in front of him so please people vote! Vote! Vote!
It's about time he and Coldplay got the respect they deserve.

He's in my personal top 3, but should be also in the top vocalists ever.
Why no one pays attention to the Japanese scene?! Ruki is great!

Should be more recognized... ;; Ruki's amazing. His voice is just so unique - makes me want to cry sometimes.

98Ricky Martin

Most handsome and deserves to be in top 20... How can one forget his beautiful songs? He is better than many singers rating high on the list...


99James Blunt
why is he here? hm? are you okay? He is the best singer... EVER. His lyrics are more than wonderful. he must be absolutely number one for me. I'm his slave from 'You're beautiful. Three albums, three amazing albums. My favourite one is the 1st. :D The second was also good, the thrid is the closest one in my heart.
This man is awesome! His songs are even played as the ending theme song of some T.V. shows like Without a Trace. I searched for the name of the singer but they don't show song credits at the end of these shows. I only know his name when I see it... And this is it... Thanks!

100Robin Zander

The most versatile of any vocalist that I'm aware of. He is the best at conveying a emotion as there is. His voice has never been the strongest. At live At Budokan they cover up his giving out voice with engineering. He does scream more than he sings for effect. I don't know how anyone could do it. Does he gargle with Vaseline?

If the "real" rock critics can rate Robin Zander high, why can't the "wannabees? " This man can hang with any of the above singers and he still has great range despite being nearly 60. Still big in Japan after all these years.

Classically trained and it shows. Robin can actually sing and he doesn't grunt or scream like an idiot, something Chester Bennington-who isn't fit to get within a thousand miles of Robin Zander-can't do.
