Imagine what Mariah could do with some real material. For the most part, her songs are really bad. I do like her singing though.

I agree with this list. Madonna, I don't think she is that great. It's not about how much records you have sell. It's all about the real voice.

Aretha franklin, Diana Ross.


Any disagreements!!!???



Yes. There are only three people who can acutally sing on your list... Aretha, Whitney and Mariah. The others couldn't even compete with some of the people on American Idol. In other words they may be fun to look at but their singing skills leave much to be desired.

Surely you are joking...right?!? Madonna the best female singer of all time? Hell naw! She might be a good dancer and a businesswoman but she ain't the best female vocalist ever... not even close.
[Edited 3/6/06 10:09am]


I like the fact that there are no reseverations about Ciara!
