Rolling Stone lists the 200 greatest singers of all time. FBA = top 10.

[CashmereThoughts]

No Luther is crazy

 

[parallax]

so why is beyonce in the top ten?

 

[Stuntone]

WTF is Luther Vandross??? Burn this dumb azz list.

Luther, Marvin, Barry White, Adele are Top 10.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Cac validation brehs

 

[Greed]

They’re trying to save face and make it more ambiguous

Michael Jackson should be Top 10 no matter what criteria they use. Having him at 86 then talking about “it’s not just about voices” just makes that ranking look even more ridiculous, because he checks ALL the boxes and then some

Fuxk them cacs

 

[NZA]

list is tolerable but luther needs to be top 10

 

[Piff Perkins]

That’s a damn good top ten although Beyoncé being there is an obvious attempt at relevance with younger people.

I read Celine Deon isn’t anywhere on the list which seems insane. And somehow Taylor Swift is in the top 100.

 

[Gloxina]

Not a bad list

Maybe replace Beyoncé with Anita Baker.

I was coming to make this comment!

Whitney's voice is so rich and effortless

But prime Mariah Carey has the versatility though. She could sing jazzy lower tones (The Wind, If Its Over), but also get the super high whistle notes I feel like she has a case for number 1 or top 3 because of that alone.

Where's Minnie Ripperton and also MJ

Minnie Ripperton is the closest thing to a person singing like an angel I’ve ever heard. I’m not an emotional dude but I damn near cry when I hear some of her music. She deserves to be top 3.

Celine Dion being excluded is crazy

Prince is too low and Marvin

MJ at #86 is disrespectful

Bey is top 30 I'd say...

Don't have too much a problem with her ranking considering her talent as a vocalist, influence on pop culture and the fact she is one of the most acclaimed artist in pop history, ie Peabody, 28 Grammys, etc

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

The Beyonce is clearly pandering and trolling but @Gator Reloaded eat breh

 

[Bop Gun]

How is Brandy, Aaliyah, (Who I’m fans of) Cac Taylor swift , SZA etc better than usher vocally who’s not on the list My list would include less of these None black frauds… Edit: I see he’s at #96 It’s still fukk rolling stone

Usher doesn't have a great voice. He always sounds like he's crying.

 

[ThatTruth777]

The way they do MJ is fukking bullshyt

Brandy is just as good as Usher when it comes to singing. People don't call her "The Vocal Bible" for nothing.
What's dirty is that they have her below the likes of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, SZA, Gaga and so on when she can out-sing them all in her sleep.
But this is a CAC list so I'm not surprised.

That’s some bullshyt revisionists bandwagon Shea butter shyt. Layering background vocals was a thing with Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson. It didn’t start with brandy
