”

“Truly da bezt! (L)”
15) Robert Plant
“He is easily the best and most influential singer in history.”
“With a wide vocal range and great control over his voice, Robert Plant is no doubt the greatest male vocalist ever. He can be loud when he want, like in Dazed and Confused, or he can be soft like an angel in Stairway to Heaven. A true legend among rock stars.”
“come on!!! immigrant song guys!! aaa aaaa aa!!!! robert plant rocks!! pop must die!”
16) Celine Dion
“As THE best selling female artist ever, her voice speaks for itself and is far superior to Mariah’s or Whitney’s”
“Surprised that Celine is not in this. One of the power house voices to be reckoned with.
Top 5. With Whitney, Mariah”

19) M. Shadows
“Two Words... Avenged Sevenfold... none better... never will be.”
“M. Shadows Should definitely be in the top ten
”
“this guy is amazing. Best rock voice ever. Best voice ever.”
20) Rob Halford
“Halford could hit vocal notes so high that vocalists would run in fear and then simultaneously switch to a soft moody voice for the ballads and he is lower than Michael Jackson and M. Shadows? Halford was also an amazing frontman displaying how a real concert performance should be done. He truly lives up to the name "Metal God. " I think the song "Beyond the Realms of Death" sums up what I just said nicely.”
“The greatest heavy metal singer... up there with Klaus Meine (Scorpions) and Eric Adams (Manowar)”
“WTF Halford After Klaus Meine and Bon Jovi Its Crazy!”

22) Elvis Presley
“Very attractive and sexy for his time. Beautiful voice,good entertainment. Would be in top 10”
“Elvis is the king, he should be # 1.”
“I am furious about this list because Elvis should be #1. I can’t believe he is way down the list he is a MUCH better singer than the top ten.Whoever is voting for the top ten do not have good taste in music AT ALL. I mean to say that all of these singers especially Madonna and Mariah Carey are better than Elvis is a huge joke and the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. There is NOBODY better or even a little bit as good as Elvis Presley and the people who think that are CRAZY because Elvis had an amazing voice that would give you chills and he could sing anything and these singers on this list can not. So that is what I have to say about this list. and also Elvis was the best performer, singer, and the nicest out of all these artist’s who are stuck up these days. And he was also the best looking person who will ever live. No one will ever come close to equaling him in any way.”
“Went to concerts and not only is he powerful on albums but can blow u away with hes voice, i havent seen anyone with such emotion in singing and great lyric writing. Chester deserves number 1 so lets get him up there were he belongs”
“Chester is "THE BEST. " He is absolutely the best. It does not matter how many albums sold; how many concerts attended; whatever. His voice is so much better and he really gives it emotion. He’s also a great person, too. Listen to "Given Up. " Its like a 15 second huge scream. Its amazing. This guy deserves #1, no doubt.”
“I would have loved Chester to be in the top ten. He has a different style to the others on the list. He can scream a note for ages that I know nobody else on the list could do!”
24) Shirley Bassey
“Without a doubt one of the most incredible voices of the last 100 years! Shirley in concert was an unbelievable sensation! Check her out!”
“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!”
“With classic hits such as ’I (who have nothing)’, ’Goldfinger’ and ’Diamonds are forever’ she deserves to be on top of this list.”
25) Olivia Newton-John
“voice like an agel and a personalty to match.”
26) Axl Rose
“AXL shoul be in the top 3 along with ZP Theart from dragonforce and that guy from metallica”
“I think he’s the best singer because he’s like a god when he sings. I also pick him because of the things guns n roses went through.”
“just because Axl is an Arrogant ass dosn’t mean he deserve’s to be put all the way down here. Yes he boke up Guns and Roses and yes he is an ass but that dosn’t change his voice and dedication.
Get your act together and Vote!!!”
27) Chris Cornell
“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.”
“Once I heard Chris Cornell, I immediately thought he is the best singer EVER.”

“Sinatra should be in a catagory of his own. No one alive today is fit to carry his microphone.”
“SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 10”
33) Toše Proeski
“He cannot be compared with any singer from the list because he had vocal abilities which weren`t made for this world. He was called ``the Angel`` because of his incredible vocal abilities and because of his kindness. The man like him will never be born again. He was supoused to record an album for world market. He would become a world-wide known singer because he truly was sent by God. He died in a terrible car crash on 16. 10. 2007.. 17. 10. 2007 was pronounced a day of sorrow in Macedonia.

57) Gladys Knight
“The First Lady of Soul”
“The closest to the perfect singer. Give this lady a song and she will sing it the way it is meant to be done. She has so much colors and emotions in her voice. She can do it all.

she is the one that takes the most
concentration, her length of holding onto those notes wow!”
“the only human being to have won an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Tony, and Obie”
“The incredible trills of her fortissimos riffs shake the soul of anybody that has one. While she doesn’t have the deep timbre of a Dinah Washington or the piercing soprano of Melanie, her artistic command of the mid-ranges stands supreme among the singers of her youthful era. Even in this era, only Celine Dion can sing with such majesty and power.
If you just formed a nation, Barbra is the one who’s singing your anthem.”
77) Jeff Buckley

85) Aretha Franklin

86) Phil Collins
“unpolished diamond voice and mushy love-songs fit for the masses”
“greatest singer of all time.”
87) Andrea Bocelli
“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.”
88) Toni Kakko
“He is amazing; he should really have more votes.
His voice is great, and he sings on key.”
“You have to hear Tonis voice, it’s so beautiful”
“the best voice in metal, should be in the 5th place at least. all in the top 10 are just overrated and mediocre compared to Kakko.”

93) Gerard Way
“he is an amazing singer his voice is just the best hands down I love MCR”
“his voice is the only one and he can put a milions of different voices if you compare her voice in the first and second cd with the last cd you will understand me”
