Which singers CAN REALLY WOW sing?

[CatsNotDogs]

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

Thinking of the people I have seen live.

Lady Gaga
Olly Alexander
Beverley Knight
Matt Bellamy
Simon Neil
Gerard Way (when he actually sings he has a fantastic voice)
Joss Stone
Bruno Mars
Troye Sivan

pink, even better when live IMO

Totally agree!! She was awesome when I saw her at Wembley.

Agree with lots of these. Also Alex Turner. Flawless stylist live.

Leona Lewis!

Chaka Khan. She is amazing live!

Another lady Gaga convert.
Others not mentioned yet:
Ramin karimloo (was the phantom before joining Holby )
Gladys Knight.
David Ruffin.
John walker.
Julie London.
Matt Monroe
It's hard to tell with more current singers, until they tackle one of the classic songs.
Oh, Cerys Matthews!

I saw George Michael a few years before he died, on his tour that had been postponed when he had pneumonia. He was still an absolutely stunning singer.

Mariah.

And yes to Jessie J. Radio 1 played an old live lounge of hers yesterday and it was so good. I hadn't realised she could sing quite so well.

Dusty Springfield
Emmylou Harris
Otis Redding
Aaliyah

Lady Gaga

Chris Martin

Mark Feehily - westlife!

Enya

Nobody's mentioned Axl Rose?
He's got (well had- maybe not quite so much nowadays) an absolutely incredible range and is a great live performer.

Ian Gillan had an incredible range, but seems mysteriously absent (possibly because Deep Purple were shit )

That's me in hiding for the rest of my life ...

Miley Cyrus

He could be the most amazing singer in the world, but the fact that he is an absolute wanker would cancel it out.

Most of mine have already been mentioned but

George Michael
Elvis
Luther Vandross
Joss Stone
Andrea Bocelli
Tom Jones
Urs, David and Carlos from Il Divo
Pavarotti
Bryn Terfell

Darius Rucker
Luke Combs
Carrie Underwood
Brandi Carlile
Drake White

Elvis
Johnny Cash
Bee Gees
Freddie Mercury
Joan Baez
Cat Stevens
Meatloaf
Got to say John Fogarty for the Dudeists.
Miley Cyrus has a good voice but I don't like all her stuff.

Morten Harket, A-ha. Their acoustic stiff is brilliant.

*stuff even! not sure about his stiff...

Not her chart stuff as much, but Ariana Grande. Incredible live!

Lady gaga?

I hate Jessie J she warbles.

You may not like his music but Boy George had a spot-on voice in the days before Autotune.
Michael McDonald has/had a thrilling style of singing.
Currently I like Aloe Blacc’s bluesy style.

And Annie Lennox is a legend. Such a range of tone and emotion.

Beyoncé
Brandi Carlile
Lady Gaga
Janelle Monae
