Rolling Stone 200 Greatest Singers of All Time

Recommended Posts

No Shania, Celine or Avril… the way they erased the top 3 best selling female Canadian artists of all time just like that and included SZA and other newcomers :deadbanana2: 

 

Screaming at certain screechy “vocalists” ranking so badly.

Surprised to not see Harry Styles in the top 25 considering how obsessed with him they are.

This list is void of validity, it doesn't have Céline Dion in it.

Not 10 pages for nothing :rip:


Also Beyoncé should be right under Whitney.

Taylor Swift but no Celine dion? List is a mess. Probably zero death metal/metalcore singers made the list despite doing way more unique things with their vocal instruments

The description they put for Gaga pisses me off because her and Madonna's catalogues are not the same minus one song. Also you can hear the growth in her voice from album to album. She should have easily been in the top 40s.

 

And the fact that you have a vocalist list and don't have Celine plus you put Kelly Clarkson at the back is offensive.

Rolling Stones has always hated Celine Dion lmfao. They never gave her a cover even during her Titanic imperial phase in 1998, whereas they have given Whitney and Mariah multiple covers even when they were past their imperial phase. Regardless of her music, her voice definitely should place her on the list.

Even then, Ari has never landed on a RS front cover and yet she’s here :rip:

They just hate Celine’s guts.

Just realized Bruno Mars is also missing on this list while Jungkook made it when he’s not even considered in South Korea as a great singer with not a single award as a solo artist.
