Inspired by a thread about bad singers. In your opinion, which singers have the best voices? I'll vote:

Michael Jackson
Stevie Wonder
James Morrison (underrated)
Christina Aguilera
Celion Dion
Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston
Joss Stone

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 · 05/03/2021 15:25

Pink, hands down.

bebarkered · 05/03/2021 15:26

Prince!

Minikievs · 05/03/2021 15:27

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 · 05/03/2021 15:29

Amy Winehouse. Freddie Mercury.

CatsNotDogs · 05/03/2021 15:30

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 · 05/03/2021 15:31

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.
