Bey Admired Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Did you all read this? “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. 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." I can see why they made the choices they did now, even if I don’t agree with all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genio Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'm satisfied with Ariana's position, she's the only one who debuted in the 10's to make the top 50. Glad to see Mariah, Bey and Whitney all in the Top 10, they deserve it the most. However not including Celine is a fatal mistake and makes this whole list feel just inaccurate. She should've gotten a spot in the Top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyforlife Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The way Rolling Stones always pushing the taylor propaganda that she is a great singer and not her above Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera... BFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinxx Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Kelly Clarkson at 194? Brandy 193? I stopped reading after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabunique Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Was very happy to see La India on da list. Da best female freestyle vocalist and her singing in salsa only made her voice better Celia, Marc, and Hector also bringing it for salsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad guy Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Bey Admired said: You do know she had major vocal cord surgery and her voice totally changed, right? Pre-vocal surgery, she definitely had a sublime voice that was up there with the greatest of her generation. You have to judge singers by their peak, not by their worst moments. If we’re judging artists on their worst moments, then Mariah wouldn’t make the top 1000, but that’s not how it works. Even before that she wasn’t the greatest vocalist. Her tone is good but she’s always had flat moments during her imperial phase that makes her placement confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsara Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Not Jungkook, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ariana being a greater singer than Celine Dion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckythisway Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I do think Celine deserves a spot but out of her peers (Whitney, Mariah, etc.) she definitely has the least impactful & influential discography. She didn’t really add anything new to the 90s diva love ballad, she just did it exceptionally well & sold a lot of records. Obviously she made French music more global but she doesn’t really have daughters like her peers do, tbh. And no disrespect at all, she’s a legend & should’ve been included (especially with the laughable BTS threat appearing ) but I understand how her discography can be seen as forgettable/cookie cutter.

Witch Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 They have to be trolling for clicks with this ridiculous list. No Celine With some of those choices they might as well have included Britney because tbh her vocals in her prime were better and more distinctive than several people on there and she was definitely more influential than a lot of those people as well.

I can see why they made the choices they did now, even if I don’t agree with all of them. This is a cop out statement, this list is an updated vocalist list but they wanted to add some vocally mid artists for clicks so they chose to do this to avoid backlash. RS is not a reliable music critic publication anymore, and they shouldn't be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadiamendell Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 No Shania? No Faith Hill? No Martina McBride? No CELINE? And yes, even Britney deserves a spot on this list (I mean they had the nerve to include Bob Dylan ), if we're going by most iconic/most recognizable vocals. Taylor is a songwriter but there is absolutely nothing recognizable/iconic about her vocals. This list is an absolute joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayn Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 This is one of the worst lists they’ve ever published. Omitting one of the best known technical singers of all time, Celine Dion, is WILD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
