luckythisway Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-singers-all-time-1234642307/ The Criteria: “Before you start scrolling (and commenting), keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent. Sure, many of the people here were born with massive pipes, perfect pitch, and boundless range. Others have rougher, stranger, or more delicate instruments. In all cases, what mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy.” Top 10 Spoiler 10. Al Green 9. Otis Redding 8. Beyoncé 7. Stevie Wonder 6. Ray Charles 5. Mariah Carey 4. Billie Holiday 3. Sam Cooke 2. Whitney Houston 1. Aretha Franklin Thoughts?

Sex with Rih Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 68 Rihanna An alto whose range spans three octaves, Rihanna isn’t just one of the biggest pop singers around: She’s one of the biggest voices, period. Her low notes are particularly resonant — she dips into them to underline a phrase, or to add a hint of doubt to a line. But her keening top notes, which have grown more billowing with time, are still the main draw: Half of what made “Umbrella” indelible is her signature, nasal “ella-ella-ay-ay-ay”s. “Rihanna’s voice is just delicious for your ear,” Chris Martin of Coldplay declared. “She is the Frank Sinatra of our generation. She can turn anything into gold with that voice.” —M.M. And yet Katy Kats and Swifties Keep trying it every time thinking their faves are on the same level as Rihanna when it comes to vocals.
