what makes a random kpop boygroup member a better singer than Celine Dion?

[Riot]

If "genius is transcendent" how is Donna Summer ranked lower than Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande?

 

She literally pioneered a whole music genre.

[Kevin Parker]

F them

[Yawn]

 seems even more trollish

 

but let me not give them any clicks 

[PlERRE]

This is worst  How are those KPOP acts listed even there?

[MALAMENTE]

The backtracking 

[Gui Blackout]

Well they're right, good singer and good vocalist are different concepts. Being a good singer is not necessary hitting high notes and being technically perfect, it's more about being a performer, conveying emotion, etc. 

 

There were flaws in the list, but it's just: a list of someone's opinion. Don't need to make a big deal 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

"This is the Greatest Singers list"

 

That's even WORSE 

[suburbannature]

Damage control.

 

I mean, they’re still saying it’s about voices just incorporating factors like creativity, influence, etc. idk

[Cryptique]

The backtracking attempts 

if it aint based on vocals, then why is MJ so low or why is Madonna N/A? 

[Cryptique]

Disrespect THE Celine Dion and y'all will feel the wrath of the GP 

[KillingYourCareer]

So what is it about? Recent commercial success and online fan base size seem to have been major factors.

[PrettyHurts]

still no excuse for no celine 

[UnusualBoy]

Not sure if this helps their cause?

[Johnny Jacobs]

Not them making it worse like delete it and stfu

Haven't checked that list, but really??? This just invalidates this whole pamphlet existence. They are really trying to re-write music history, huh? That list is a bad joke that should have been publish on April Fools.

Then MJ would not be at 86, and I don't even care for him.

 

Their excuse makes the list look even worse.

They're not backtracking, that quote is literally in the beginning of the editorial 

The list is still a mess though

Then why putting Jk ? They’re so unserious. 

[A.R.L]

[BowWow]

Taylor and Billie are here so we figured 

[KatyPrismSpirit]
