Before I choke to death on my on rage I would like to say that "Queen Aretha Franklin and her magnificent titty balls of destruction" is without a doubt the finest nickname you will ever hear.

Right.. with the pleasantries out of the way..

HOW THE FUCK does anyone with the slightest knowledge of vocals place Luther Vandross at 54? Luther had a voice which would destroy anyone with ease so this list is clearly made by a complete idiot. That was a voice that could and WOULD even take on BOTH of Aretha's titty balls without fear
__________________________________________________ Your right I was thinking the same thing !! and WTF is up with Mary J being number 100?? she should come way before Xtina!! xtina tends to over sing..sorry but true
<<<<"YOUR OLD AS FUCK,NOT FOR THE EARTH BUT FOR THIS CLUB"!!>>>

This is so not right...

OK i understand....honestly...I don't know that much a bout him. I just know his songs so I really didn't know.

Here's the thing Rosemary -- McDonald may be a great showman, but he's not singing "true voice" -- it's like it's a put-on. It's cool that you like him, but he's basically just beach music.
Hell, I like Per Gessle but he's certainly never going to be in the top 100 singers of all time. He's not exceptional on a technical or any other level, but I like him. Doesn't mean he deserves (what some would say is) the honor of being on a list like this. Cheers tho, sis.

Sluttsville, looks like you are safe from coiled-n-hissing.Not sure if Canadian Railroad Trilogy is on your cd,probably not.Here is a link to it.I always love me some Gordie this time of year when the leaves are changing colors... Something about his music seems so 'fallish".

EPIC FAIL! Bob fucking Dylan ahead of Robert Plant and Freddie mercury!? come on, the guy is a great lyricist but can't sing for shit.this pile of caca needs to be burned.

You were good until you mentioned Shirley Manson.

Mercury is GOD!

Where's Alvin and the Chipmunks? Alvin has a less grating voice than Tom Waits.

man, I can't believe that i'm the only michael mcdonald fan lol, i realize that he isn't a singer that is a power singer or anything, but his voice is soothing to me. He's my fav male singer...and i like his songs too, by himself and with the doobie brothers.

All I know is, I don't see Stompin' Tom Connors on this list. Therefore, it is bogus.

Good lord they forgot this woman too. She sang before there was anything to help you sing!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think Dylan is a great songwriter and musician. But is he really the seventh best singer? Please. This list is a pile of BS.

ok, well my main thing with christina is not if she hits the notes well as much as her voice being powerful and it's kinda unique sounding esp when you think how small she is, that powerful voice she has. I wouldn't notice so much if she hits the notes right as long as she sounds decent enough. There's just something about her voice that I like that i've never heard anyone sound quite like her.

Before I choke to death on my on rage I would like to say that "Queen Aretha Franklin and her magnificent titty balls of destruction" is without a doubt the finest nickname you will ever hear.

From this alone you know the entire list is bullshit.

--thanks awfully--

this list sucks dust crusted donkey nuts! it makes no fucking sense.

@Rosemary

he's actually a pretty easy impression to do, too -- try singing like mr. mcdonald. I guarantee you'll sound like him, that's how generic he actually is...
.............
That's right. To call what he does 'singing' is stretching it a bit.

I don't see Neil Diamond on this list either.

i lovepapasmurf, she may not always do the best but i always assume that everyone knows what she can do."

But that doesn't make her the best singer in ze world. In fact, I believe Tina Tuner has a better voice than Aguilera and Aretha Franklin, as does Etta James, but they're only in the top 20s. But I do believe this list is based also on the effect their songs have on the world. You think of RESPECT faster than you'd think of Hurt or Dirty... sorry to say.

No Shirley Manson from Garbage or that girl from the Cranberries?? Yea ok Rollingstone. The same assholes that bashed Led Zeppelin. All those old blues singers could go suck a dick. Lil Richard, buy a fucking clue Rolling Stone. Who the hell is Sam cooke?? Oh yea Ray Charles is so great Jamie Fucking Foxx could imitate him with no problem.

I go for older people's voices when it comes to the best except for christina. I don't think any of these new people except christina nowadays, can match the people that got started in the 80s or earlier.

Thanks Sluttsville! And, you too, DAE! (I don't know why, either. Harumph.)

Well. OK. I take swig of mea culpa. That was a great version of Art.
I hope that wasn't Paul Simon doing that rude yawning. I did not know he had a twin.

haha, no, that arse was his brother, i think his name's Eddie.
Paul's toward the end, rudely interrupting Artie's singing to ask about his mic. Ugh.
I know some people who've worked with Paul Simon, and let's just say, it wasn't pretty. His brother used to be his pseudo-manager.

But thanks for giving it a chance. ;) Let your DH know!

I purchased one of his greatest hits cds a couple of weeks ago, I didn't mention it because I was afraid it would send coiled-n-hissing over the edge.
.........
I love me some Lightfoot. Wonderful voice. I shant go loco over that nomination.
Just don't bust out the Kenny Rankin.

luther vandross being so far down is another big mistake too

Weird list. I totally agree with some,
but the majority of the choices are fucked up.
Alison Moyet has great pipes!! WTF come on.
tons more people do instead of some of these
foolz... Rolling Stones needs to fire a few beeotches. and yeah LA where is Kate Bush?
and why is Bob Dylan up there? Yes I agree he is
high up there on "song writers" list, but Singers??

"Submitted by Rosemary on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 8:55pm.

Christina should be number one. Anyone that doesn't agree is insane, no offense! And Anita baker should be on it!"

No she shouldn't and I may have daddy issues, but I'm not crazy. First of all, she has a great voice and her first record flat out shows her range. But if you listen to the past couple of "powerballads" that Aguilera has released, she's practically screaming throughout. Yes, she hits some notes without doing so, but she's really going to strain her voice if she continues to sing the way she has been. And I include Pink and Kelly Clarkson into that mix, too. Oh, and beyonce, but that bitch is "perfect" in her mind, so it's not like she's going to listen even if her basement living sister is reading this.
