Tom Jones, the depth of the tone in his voice is incredible. And has showed up everyone he has ever worked with on the The Voice.

[ShesMadeATwatOfMePam]

Pink, hands down.

[bebarkered]

Prince!

[Minikievs]

She's not in the league of Whitney etc, but Jessie J is actually WOW
I don't think she ever gets the recognition she deserves

That's really interesting as I would've put her in the worst singers category... but that was from seeing her at the very start of her career, perhaps her voice has strengthened a lot over the years.

[Flyonawalk]

Amy Winehouse. Freddie Mercury.

[CatsNotDogs]

Yes Jessie J is awesome

I heard what is supposed to be a clip of Britney Spears singing in her natural register and it was an amazing blues voice, as powerful as Christina Aguilera, but she doesn’t use it as she’s tied to being a pop singer. Allegedly.

[Poppins2016]

Beyonce is fantastic live (not someone I'd normally choose to see, so this is an objective opinion, I was very pleasantly surprised)!

Eva Cassidy.

[Happinessisawarmcervix]

Oh, and Peter Gabriel.
