KillingYourCareer Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The top 10 is good, but some of the lower positions are laughable! But in the end, these lists are very arbitrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonedSoulPicnic Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Dolly in the top 30. It's nice to see all the members of Trio in the top 100. Emmylou and Linda didn't make the original list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Like The Movies Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Top 10 is fine but after that it's a complete trainwreck,TS shouldn't even be on a list about vocals but the fact that she's above Jazmine,Frank Ocean, Brandy, Kelly etc is a bigger MESS Also Celine done dirty This unserious list 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Real Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I love Taylor but her name being on this list is a set up to get her dragged. It was probably that delusional stan Rob something that added her there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgos Groove Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The criteria for this list is so weird. It's like they couldn't decide between making a Best Vocalists or a Best Artists list so we end up with this mess Celine missing but Taylor, Abel (two of my favs, but let's be serious), Lana and Jungkook making it is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Taylor and Rihanna do not belong on this list, and especially not above Kelly Clarkson and Jazmine Sullivan And Celine Dion being missing is the biggest crime of all here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 What's even the point of this Like either make a best vocalist or best artist list but it makes no sense to arbitrarily do a mix of both and end up with this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I STAN Riri, but to have her ranked above Patti LaBelle like that with no shame?? Patti may be local but she is so criminally underrated as a singer. Bey is a superb singer, but she's too technical and overrated as a vocalist, and should've been top 30 imo. I would scrap that entire list and to be quite honest, not many male singers would've been in the top 50. Only male vocalists I can think of in the history of music that could give even the best female singers a run for their money was Sam Cooke and Freddie Mercury! Majority of the male vocalists listed are decent but nothing superb, and the random placement of a BTS member, like why?💀 Also a shame that Minnie Ripperton and Phyllis Hyman weren't on this list. Wonder what the criterias were for this list, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Pop Queen Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Some of the entries/placements were definitely a choice but I think a lot of you forget that RS is still, at its core, a rock/pop culture mag so their criteria for best singers is not gonna be based purely on technical ability and skill. They likely also took into account vocal influence, timbre, distinction, character and versatility. Still, I am gagging at the complete Celíne omission, especially in lieu of recent events with her vocal health. I hope she doesn't look at this list :-( oh and I think Beyoncé's write up was great. I feel like her voice and vocal prowess is just starting to get its just due credit in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Guedes Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The list was made by Rolling Stone, so of course P!nk is nowhere near it. I guess she's a bad vocalist, then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The article does specify it's not about vocals. "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." But to leave Celine Dion outta this list is wild, ngl.
