sarah523

“hits such as "material girl" and "like a virgin"”

“I LOVE Madonna. Singing is not all about how good your voice is. But what you do with your voice.

I CAN’T BELIEVE CHARICE HAS A HIGHER RANK HERE THAN THE GREAT ELVIS, MARIAH, CELINE DION, AND ALL THE OTHERS!

MARIAH HAS A VERY ANGELIC VOICE... I ALMOST GET DEAF WHENEVER I HEAR CHARICE, NOT THAT SHE’S NOT GOOD. BUT SHE ALWAYS SCREAMS ESPECIALLY IF IT’S A DUET... SHE’LL SCREAM EVEN IF SHE’S ALREADY OFF KEY. :P

Sarah Geronimo can sing in different genres... And she’s good at all of them. And when she can’t do something, she’ll admit it and not struggle to do it because she know she can’t unlike Charice.”

haftrin

“Who can sing the songs of Scorpions? Only ONE man - Klaus Meine. And in fact his voice is still the same since the seventies. And still he trills away like a nightingale after operation in the eighties. That is why his voice is the most unique in the known Universe.”

Kuzma

“Omg, I can’t get enough of him :O”

”

regineadik4ever

“she’s a diva. a sensational and phenomenal diva. period.”

dharylldf

“Agreed. All these top ten lists are driven by mainstream. Rob halford followed closely by Queensryche lead singer Geoff Tate. They both hit ridiculous pitches both high and low, have amazing control over their voices, and are rock gods. Please, Michael Jackson?”

jewunit69

“You know, I like Iron Maiden more than Judas Priest and Bruce Dickinson has an amazing voice but, Rob Halford I must admit is superior. Sorry Bruce.”

metalmaiden

“Lots of mainstream "short time" above in this list, makes it not serious.”

JR

“ice jazz”

“Mylene is an Angel!”

Misty-ledy

“MYLENE IS THE BEST!”

“not many know of her but she gives sex appeal a whole new meaning with her voice. Watch her sing and moan and you will understand what I am saying.”

“She deserves to be the greatest singer, while she always performed live and it was almost even better than on record. Besides, she has a voice, which always gives me goosebumps and a lot of love.”

txrednosereindeer

“Frida is the best!!!”

luiseocosta

“Frida is one of the best singers of all time. Put an A into ABBA.”

“Without a doubt one of the most incredible voices of the last 100 years! Shirley in concert was an unbelievable sensation! Check her out!”

skymorales

“People vote for ’Best Vocalist’ for many different reasons, but if this list is based on vocal ability alone, then Shirley Bassey is simply one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century! And, at 71 yo, she is still proving it by singing very difficult songs, LIVE. (Example - Go to Youtube (Shirley Bassey - The Living Tree) Royal Variety Performance of to be BLOWN AWAY!”

Scot90230

“With classic hits such as ’I (who have nothing)’, ’Goldfinger’ and ’Diamonds are forever’ she deserves to be on top of this list.”

avenged7x

a7xlover4ever

“I commented on Aretha’s ranking on the best female singer list, and my comment did not show up. She was 49 and on this list she is 82. Come on now, these lists are a joke. Those above her would vote for her instead of themselves. I cannot imagine real people voted this way.”

“For someone inducted into the Hall of Fame, she needs to be in the top 10 at least!!”

“This list is funny. The 77 singers above her right now would bow to Aretha. And they do that every time her name is mentioned.”

“Love his voice! LP rules”

Ami

luthfudeen

“I just love him, he is amazing and has a beautiful voice!”

“Gackt is just wonderful~! He has a very beautiful voice and his songs have his feelings and emotions in them. He is simply the best! <3”

“Gackt is just ... Wonderful. Being active in the Japanese Music world since the 90’s and plus the fact that forming one of the best visual-kei group doesn’t hurt either.”

“Chris Cornell has a distinct and powerful voice, with a wide range to back it up. He was one of the dominant singers of the 90’s.”

“what a voice.”

donavanef1

“He may not be the best known singer on this list, but nobody on this list has the vocal range of Chris Cornell”

“Her first album has sold 28 million copies world wide and became diamond in USA. Her second album has sold 24 million copies word wide and became diamond in USA as well. The other two albums and her greatest hits collection have sold over 35 million copies world wide. If this is not a success then I don’t know what is”

apo

“Britney Spears is a talented singer. She has sold millions of albums in only a few years in discography. She managed to collect many fans creating hysteria with her every step. She was characterized as the POP PRINCESS. She deserves tha recognistion”

apo

“Britney is the best of both worlds she can sing dance and make headlines, sold 83 mil records, been in the industry since she was 17 and now is 26 and still on top I don’t know why everybodys hatin on her their just jealous because they can’t do it like she can”

“Karen Carpenter was in a league all by herself. Nobody else comes close to touching her brillance as a singer and a performer.”

Johnnyh11218

“Beautiful, haunting voice. Karen really was one-of-a-kind. She has fans of all ages, all over the world, and her legacy lives on. <3”

zannazbanana

“Simply fantastic. Others may have a wider range... but hitting the high notes doesn’t automatically make you a great singer.

Karen was great for her rich and full-bodied silky smooth voice.

Karen Carpenter is the true "Voice of an Angel". Nobody else sings as beautifully as her.”

RickHH

Michael22

“Kyo is God...”

Niikura_Akonya

“Kyo is the best singer ever. He sing from his heart. He is a fantastic singer!”

“Kyo is arguable the best vocalist of his time. Having never had any professional vocal training, Kyo has amazing range and control over his voice. His technical abilities range from sweet melodies to roaring screams, tortured cries to low whispers and insane laughter. He can give the impression he’s being tortured and reaching orgasm in the same breath with little effort.
His voice can convoy a wide array of emotions with an amazing intensity.
Fantastic singer.”

“He is a living legend”

“Yes, He is a great singer”

“nusrat was the best singer in the world.singer like nusrat will never born again. thanks”

“No doubt the best vocalist. You listen him you will understand.He is a Pakistani but comparatively the very best of all time. Music is not complete without him.Fred.Murcery and Paul McCarteny stand 2nd and 3rd.Nobody can be 1,2,3rd except them.”

mawarberduri

“Roy Orbison had a vocal range of 5 octave (arguably). The majarity of his compositions were the 3 to 4. 5 that he’s most recognized for. However, if you listen to some earlier works you’ll be able to hear 4 distinct octave variables and, as I said, arguably, a 5th.”

“"Roy Orbison’s vocal range was impressive (four octaves), his voice effortlessly powerful, and his songs were melodically and rhythmically advanced and lyrically sophisticated, often incorporating the bolero form."”

“Quite simply the Greatest Singer in the world!!!no one could sing a ballad like this brilliant musical Legend”

“He makes Green Day songs what they are”

aman28

“he should be higher as he has done some of the best songs such as Basket Case, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and of course Jesus of Suburbia! #92 is an] joke he should be in the top 30 at least”

idolangelx13

“How you can put people like Gerard Way, and Kurt Cobain, or Eddie Vedder on here but not Billie is beyond me.”

“as far as rock singing... for his genre.. he is the best of the bunch.”

Go Geddy!”

lilbullet111

“It is undeniable that Freddie Murcury is the greatest singer of all time but the reason I’m voting for Geoff Tate is because having him at number 153 is just a disgrace to music. This guy deserves to be in the top ten or at least in the top 20. This guy has a pair of vocals that could sing anything. I’ve made my friends listen to Queensryche and were all taken a back by how amazing this guy is. The only reason he’s so low is because Queensryche isn’t popular enough.”

metalmaiden

“Geoff Tate should be in the top 10, loved Queensryche growing up in the 80’s, and there was nodody better at that time on vocals than Geoff Tate, he can hit any note.”

“There’s a few vocalist like him that can sing baritone vocals and hit tenor notes. Maybe the most versatile and gifted voices of all time.”

“he made high-brow opera more accessible to the unsophisticated”

“There is something wrong if not one person thought of the great Andrea Bocelli. He has the most beautiful and heart-felt voice on the planet. Celine Dion once said "If God had a singing voice, it would sound a lot like Andrea’s". That means a lot coming from someone like herself.”

“His voise so deep, so sexy, so emotional, so magic like an angel’s voise!”

MyLoveVilleValo

“Best singer ever his voice has such feeling”
