This is hard! I think I will leave out some of my personal favorites and just rank based on pure vocal ability. Madonna is my favorite artist ever but I can't put her on the same vocal list as Chaka Khan. razz In no particular order...

The Ladies:

Chaka Khan
Erykah Badu
Teena Marie
Patti LaBelle
Minnie Riperton
Deniece Williams
Mariah Carey
Amy Winehouse
Renee Diggs
Cheryl Lynn
Nikka Costa
Sinead O'Connor
Jocelyn Brown
Jennifer Holliday
Sarah Vaughan
Phyllis Hyman
Alanis

The Gents:

Stevie
Donny
Bobby Debarge
Jimmy Scott
Maxwell
Prince
Eric Benet
Kenny Latimore
Philip Bailey
DJ Rogers

Overall, I LOVE stylized singers with big ranges, big vibrato, interesting ad-libs. Male falsetto singers do it for me too. biggrin

Corrine? whofarted How random!? lol she shouldn't even be ranked beside Adele.

Amy and Duffy > Corrine and Adele.


OMG! Corrine's new album is fantastic. mushy Duffy is really the only one out of place on that list for me. Not because she's bad but because she's no where near as good as the other three. All just my twocents


Yea, her new album is nice. But IMHO, Duffy is the better singer.
