Legacy Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Not including CELINE DION is an insult to talent and hardwork. What a trash list. Imagine not thinking this woman is top 200; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 On 1/1/2023 at 9:15 PM, luckythisway said: 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. Céline is very impactful and influential all around the world. that's why she's part of the vocal trinity. They all influenced people in different ways. The shade is not cute.

Lovett Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 6 hours ago, Miss Show Business said: This list has been a joke ever since they first published it. Beyoncé being #8 but Celine is nowhere to be found? It's more egregious that Adele is featuring on a list for vocalists at all. Céline deserves to join Beyoncé in the top 10.

Robyn. Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I knew the second Rihanna was in there, the usual people would run their mouth. This list was obviously not strictly about vocal range, people read "singer" and the fake outrage began. Rihanna's voice was all over the radio for more than a decade, she had hits back to back, and her singing style got the new girls copying her for sure. The amount of girls who wanted to be the new Rihanna, Rita Ora comes to mind. Pitchfork made a whole ass article about it, I'm glad to see that actual publications acknowledge Rihanna's influence. She wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just now, Miss Show Business said: This trolling attempt Adele can obviously sing, and does it better than your faves can, I bet! Not trolling, just an accurate reflection. Adele has abysmal technique and is routinely out of tune in her performances, with no breath support. She's not a vocalist and her inclusion in lists like this is influenced by the success of her music. That's all. Beyoncé can out-sing Adele without warming up. Sorry.

Wicked Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Lists like these are important because the canonization of music is important, so when they fumble the bag like this it's not only a bad look but causes issue in the future when discussing music history and context. Catalog shouldn't have been included as a criteria. It strictly should've been vocal technique, performance and/or vocal influence; There's people that simply do not have any of those things on this list (and unfortunately for online stans,these are things that can be measured objectively). Al Green being in the top 10 is the only pleasant surprise I had because he's underrated in general even though he's probably my favorite singer of the 70s Soul era. I can't wait for the mess when they release the greatest artists of all time list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kh-Loud Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) This rating makes no freaking sense. If it was also based on Impacts and influences, then MJ should had been in top 10 easily. Some of the biggest black artists were influenced by him and his singing styles - Usher, Beyonce, Chris Brown just to name a few; you also have alot of wannabes from every race and background. The fact that he was already a great vocalist to begin with -Instead, they have Bob Dylan and Paul Mc that high up? Also, Celine is missing invalidates this list completely. Happy for Beyonce, she deserves her spot; her vocal peak has been longer than the sum of Mariah's and Whitney's. Mariah should be right below Miss Aretha. At her prime, she was better than Whitney in my humble opinion. Also, Donn Summer being that low is a crime, and to have Taylor above her and many great singers just make this list a total garage. Like who did Taylor influence with her voice? like did someone actually want to sound like her ? Edited January 3, 2023 by Kh-Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
